| Description |
The Boulder LC2CAM International Workshop will enable researchers working at the forefronts of materials science & optics to discuss the emerging uses of light for control of ordered soft materials and advances in the use of liquid crystals to control light. Workshop topics include:
* Laser trapping and manipulation in liquid crystals
* Tunable and frequency-selective negative-index media
* Light-induced phase transitions
* Nonlinear optics of liquid crystals
* Light-controlled surface anchoring phenomena
* Confocal, multiphoton fluorescence, and CARS microscopy of liquid crystals
* Holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals
* Light-controlled liquid crystalline polymers and elastomers
* Optics of colloidal and nanostructured systems
* Sensors and wavefront control devices
Important Dates:
* 1st call for papers February 5, 2008
* Final call for papers June 1, 2008
* Fellowship application deadline June 5, 2008
* Abstract deadline July 15, 2008
* Publication of program August 1, 2008
The Boulder LC2CAM Workshop will bring together both prominent & junior scientists. Participation of students & postdoctoral fellows is strongly encouraged, and up to 20 fellowships will be awarded to support travel of early-career scientists. The presentations will be webcasted in real time and, in addition to the on-site audience, registered participants around the World will have an opportunity to ask questions.
