This conference provides an international forum for the most recent and advanced
issues concerning materials and devices, nanofabrication methods, nanoscale
imaging and characterization. This topical meeting brings together international
scientists and researchers interested in the recent developments in
nanophotonics.
Submissions are currently being accepted for the Conference Technical Program.
Abstract submissions will be accepted via email:nano@hit.edu.cn. Detailed
information can be found at http://physics.hit.edu.cn/nano2009/sub.html.The
deadline for the 100-200 word abstract is February 16, 2009.
Selected submissions will be published in the Journal of Nonlinear Optical
Physics and Materials (JONPM) or Chinese Optics Letters (COL). JONPM and COL are
international journals in English. Both journals are SCI and EI indexed.
