Abstract
Conference Title: 2017 Opto-Electronics and Communications Conference (OECC) and Photonics Global Conference (PGC) Conference Start Date: 2017, July 31 Conference End Date: 2017, Aug. 4 Conference Location: Singapore, Singapore Nanostructures hold a lot of promise in the field of optics and photonics: they provide strong control over light which usually interacts poorly with bulk materials, allowing us to mold and shape optical signals in unprecedented ways. We look at the role of nanostructures in building efficient detectors, sensors, modulators and light sources.
