OPON 2016
4th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
ON THE OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF NANOSTRUCTURES

Wroc³aw University of Technology, 17–19 February 2016
PWr-logo


The workshop is meant as a continuation of the three previous meetings devoted to the same topic that were held in 2011 in Wroc³aw (Poland), in 2012 in Münster (Germany) and in 2013 in Bayreuth (Germany). The purpose of the series of workshops is the exchange of ideas related to theoretical and experimental work in the field of optical properties of nanostructures and other solid state systems.
