Exploring Amorphous Materials in Photonics and Optoelectronics: From Fundamentals to Applications
Co-organized with University of Reggio Calabria Chairs: Francesco Giuseppe DELLA CORTE, University of Naples "Federico II" & Maurizio CASALINO, ISASI-CNR
The Symposium on Amorphous Materials and Their Potential Applications in Photonics and Optoelectronics is a targeted thematic meeting promoted within the national Project Graphics (Graphene and Amorphous Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuit Switch) funded in the framework of the RESTART (RESearch and innovation on future Telecommunications systems and networks, to make Italy more smART - PE00000001) program, funded in turn by the European Union. The Symposium is dedicated to establishing a dynamic platform for researchers, scientists, and industry professionals to deeply explore the multifaceted world of non-crystalline solids and their extensive applications, with special attention to optoelectronics and photonics. Amorphous materials, distinguished by their disorganized atomic structure, boast distinctive properties and functionalities that hold significant promise across a spectrum of fields, spanning from electronics and optics to biomedical applications. Within this symposium, attendees can anticipate a comprehensive program featuring presentations and interactive discussions that delve into the fundamental principles of amorphous materials. Topics will encompass synthesis techniques, structural characterization methodologies, and the elucidation of properties, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of these materials; intricacies. Furthermore, the symposium will offer valuable insights into cutting- edge applications and technological advancements, highlighting the potential for innovation in diverse domains. By fostering interdisciplinary exchanges and collaborative interactions, participants will not only gain valuable knowledge but also have the opportunity to address the latest challenges and identify new opportunities in the field of amorphous materials. Ultimately, this workshop aims to pave the way for innovative solutions and breakthroughs, propelling advancements across a wide array of application domains.
