ICOM (International Conference on the Physics of Optical Materials and Devices)

  • Luminescent materials: new luminescent materials, new synthesis techniques, new phenomena
  • Hybrid optical materials (organic/inorganic)
  • Low-dimensional systems, quantum dots, single molecule and single-particle spectroscopy
  • Characterization techniques of optical materials
  • Luminescence mechanisms and energy transfers
  • Theory and modelling of optical processes
  • Ultrafast-laser processing of materials
  • Physical and Chemical sensing from Luminescence
  • Applications of luminescence thermometry
  • Physical, chemical and biological sensing using optical methods
  • Optical sensors
  • Medical imaging and bioimaging
  • Advanced optical materials in photovoltaics and biophotonics
  • Devices: lasers and amplifiers, LED and OLED, plasmonic light sources, photovoltaics

CPPTA (Conference on Photoacoustic and Photothermal Theory and Applications)

  • Theoretical considerations
  • Light-matter interaction
  • Instrumentation and methodology
  • Lasers and other light sources
  • Spectroscopy, applications in chemistry
  • Sensors, actuators and industrial applications (including environmental sensors, generation of ultrasound, etc.)
  • Applications in medicine, biology and agriculture
  • Imaging (including thermography, tomography, microscopy, depth profiling, etc.)
  • Thermoplastics (including characterization of materials) other aspects and applications of PA/PT techniques

This year, ICOM is held in conjunction with the Conference on Photoacoustic and Photothermal Theory and Applications (CPPTA). Note that the conferences are fully integrated together and held in parallel sessions: all attendees will have the opportunity to participate in both meetings!
