At\nthat l ength scale\, which is below the typical wavelength of light\,\na variety of interesting effects arise. Some of these relate to\noptical interferenc e\, whilst others are associated with quantum\noptics. This lecture illust rates current research into the\napplications of nanophotonics to optical telecommunications and\nalso biosensing to show how nanophotonics enables us to make\nextremely compact optical integrated circuits that are suitabl e for\nintegration with microelectronics. Cutting Edge Lectures in Science \nwas initiated in 2003 with the express purpose of fostering\ncommunicati on between scientists in different disciplines as well\nas between scienti sts and the public. Sponsored by the Royal\nSociety of Canada\, they are m ade possible through the generous\nsupport of Heather Munroe-Blum\, Richar d I. Levin (Dean of\nMedicine)\, Martin Grant (Dean of Science)\, Anthony C. Masi\n(Provost)\, and Denis Thérien (Vice-Principal\, Research and\nInt ernational Relations).\n DTSTART:20081211T230000Z DTEND:20081212T013000Z LOCATION:Redpath Museum\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0C4\, 859 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Cutting Edge Lecture in Science by Dr. Andrew Kirk: Nanophotonics URL:/channels/event/cutting-edge-lecture-science-dr-an drew-kirk-nanophotonics-101171 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
