Workshop on Laser Spectroscopy and Nanophotonics
March 14-15, 2008,
IIT Delhi,
India
Scope and Objectives :
Continuing new developments in tunable, UV and femtosecond laser sources, near-field microscopy and fiber probes, ultra sensitive photon detectors, imaging technology, and instrumentation have resulted in booming renaissance and popularity of laser spectroscopy and nanoscale photonics. The largest expansion of laser spectroscopy has been witnessed in its applications in nanotechnology, chemical and biological systems. Raman and Fluorescence spectroscopy have proven to be versatile tools for a wide range of applications in physical, chemical and life sciences. Raman spectroscopy offers fast, non-invasive, non-destructive analysis of nanometer size materials. Fluorescence is a powerful technique for studying immediate molecular environment, inter and intramolecular interactions. The technique is nearly background-free and offers sensitivity down to single molecule detection.
Nanophotonics is an emerging multidisciplinary field that deals with light-matter interactions on the nanoscale. The new technologies based on nanophotonics go well beyond what is possible with conventional photonics and electronics. These technologies could include efficient photon sources, intelligent sensors, and high-capacity data storage. The convergence of photonics and life sciences has led to emergence of biophotonics. It is increasingly important to have highly sensitive tools for probing cells, tissues and whole organism structure and functions. Through spectroscopic and photonic, these measurements can be done in a non- or minimally-invasive way. The rapid penetration of nanotechnology into biophotonics has opened opportunity for a wide range of novel diagnostic tools. For example, the use of metal nanoparticles and quantum dots for enhanced cell and tissue imaging and local light energy absorption are promising.
The objective of this Workshop is to bring together scientists, technologists and researchers from academic institutions and industries interested in optical techniques for nanoscale diagnostics. It will provide an opportunity to discuss the state-of-the-art methods, instrumentations and applications related to light-matter interactions on the nanometer scale.
