Novel Optical Materials and Applications (NOMA)

NOMA addresses new, cutting-edge research and development in novel optical materials along with their devices and systems spanning the spectrum from the ultraviolet through the terahertz region.

Advances are solicited for both conventional and new optical materials, including but not limited to their properties, theoretical design and modeling, synthesis, assembly and patterning, as well as new optical behavior emerging from these materials. Applications in relevant photonics area(s) should be cited to show how these materials enable new or improved optical devices or emerging applications. 

Together with the Solar, Lighting and Thermal Photonics (SOLITH) meeting we are organizing a Joint Session on Perovskites. With their exceptional light-absorbing and light-emitting properties combined with their superior electrical properties, perovskites are emerging as revolutionary materials for solar cells, light emitting diodes, lasers, photodetectors and other applications. In the joint session, the latest developments in this vibrant field will be discussed.
