7th Optoelectronics & Photonics Winter School:  Physics and Applications of Optical Resonators - ENG
Channel: FBK - Fondazione Bruno Kessler
Date: 26/03/2013

From 16th - 22nd of March, 2013 at Levico Terme (Trento, Italy)
the Center of Materials and Microsystems (Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trento, Italy) in collaboration with the University of Trento is organizing the 7thOptoelectronics & Photonics Winter Schoolwith the topic of
Physics and Applications of Optical Resonators

The school
The school is addressing specific topics of high importance within the international scientific community of Optoelectronics and Photonics
It aims in bringing together a large number of PhD students and young researchers from all parts of the world which across a one-week intense schedule follow a series of lectures on selected topics,
The lectures are held by internationally recognized experts in the field and are selected/invited by the school organizers. The lectures will cover both fundamental aspects and applications of optical micro-/nano-resonator devices. The school has the scope to introduce the fundamentals of topic to young students and scientists and to stimulate further their scientific activity by going deeper into more complex systems and phenomena. The students will have the opportunity to interact efficiently between each other and exchange their knowledge, but more importantly, discuss and learn directly from international experts in the field.

Topics *
Physics of open resonators
Microsphere resonators
Ultra-high Q microdisk, microtoroidand wedge resonators
