The Institute

We cordially invite you to a series of lectures by prof. Maurizio Ferrari from the Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnologies - National Research Council (IFN-CNR Istituto di Fotonica e Nanotecnologie), Trento, Italy, which will be held under the project "Multidisciplinary PhD studies - nanotechnology in biomedicine" POWR.03.02.00-IP. 08-00-DOK / 17.

The topics of the lectures include the following topics:

• Introduction to Glass Photonics

• Absorption and emission cross sections; Quantum efficiency
• Light scattering for characterization of material properties
• Confined structures: Planar waveguides
• Confined structures: Nanospheres
• Confined structures: Direct and inverse opals
• Confined structures: Spherical Microresonators
• Confined structures: 1D - Microcavities
• Nanocomposites systems and transparent glass ceramics
• Energy conversion
