META'10

Topics
META’10 will cover a broad scope of topics ranging from the fundamental theory of metamaterials, photonic crystals and plasmonics to novel types of optical and microwave devices and components. Special attention will be given to applications of these innovative materials in optical communication systems, antennas, high-speed circuits, optical sensing, nanoscale imaging and cloaking.

META'10 program will include :


 * Keynote lectures
 * Invited talks
 * Contributed oral and poster presentations

META'10 topics include, but are not limited to:


 * Fundamental and applied aspects of waves in periodic and disordered metamaterials.
 * Electromagnetic properties of complex materials including photonic and plasmonic materials, negative-index materials, frequency selective surfaces, high impedance structures and novel composites with unusual electromagnetic properties (chiral, bianisotropic,...).
 * Modelling, fabrication and characterization of complex materials and surfaces.
 * Metamaterials and nanophotonics technologies and applications.

META'10 will be the foremost place to learn about the most important developments in the field of advanced electromagnetic materials.
