Thematic school 2024
Thermics & Nanophotonics
The Houches Physics School, France, April 28 / May 03 - 2024
Controlling thermal emission, or the reciprocal phenomenon of absorption of electromagnetic radiation, is crucial in various applications including heat management, energy harvesting and conversion, sensing, imaging, or producing novel sources and detectors. The development of metamaterials and complex media has led to remarkable effects in heat-light conversion and transfer, due to light-matter interaction at the subwavelength scale.
The school will cover these topics both from the fundamental perspective and from the applications point of view.
