PIERS —— A global symposium committed to
advancing photonics and electromagnetics for the benefit of humanity.
This session provides an opportunity for AI-powered diffractive optics researchers from around the world to share their recent advances. The purpose of this session is to present the high-quality research exploring novel properties of established diffractive optical elements, metasurfaces, and proposing innovative sensor designs using ML. Special emphasis is placed on the intersection of nanophotonics and plasmonics with intelligent computational methods to achieve ultra-sensitive and multifunctional sensing platforms.
We welcome original research talks and overviews. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
