Furthermore, it is made possible thanks to our sponsors (to be announced).
Location
Røros is located between Oslo and Trondheim. Røros can be reached by train from Oslo, Oslo Gardermoen airport and Trondheim (vy.no), or by 2 daily flights from Oslo (wideroe.no). All attendees will get single rooms at Røros hotel.

Invited speakers
3 internationally renowned invited speakers
Prof. Thomas F Krauss, University of York
Prof. Krauss's research focuses on light-matter interaction in photonic nanostructures. His activity includes studying fundamental concepts such as enhanced light emission, to more applied research such as developing nanolasers and biosensors. His group is currently studying antimicrobial resistance and developing point-of-care healthcare devices.
Silicon nanostructures for optical sensing and spectroscopy
Photonic technologies, especially those based on silicon nanostructures, have made tremendous advances in recent years, to the extent that laboratory-level performance can now be achieved with handheld devices. Based on our guided mode resonance approach, which exploits surface resonances (also known as metasurfaces or quasi-BICs) and using immobilised antibodies to obtain the required specificity, we now routinely achieve sensitivities in the pg/ml range, which is sufficient for most clinical applications.
A key ingredient to this success is the use of appropriate surface chemistries, both for orienting and anchoring the antibodies on the sensor surface and for avoiding unwanted fouling, i.e. non-specific binding of other proteins in the matrix, especially serum. As an alternative sensing method, we are also applying silicon nanostructures to detecting the presence of proteins and drugs via their spectroscopic fingerprint in the mid-infrared region. While the sensitivity of the spectroscopic method is lower than that of the antibody-based method, the method is intrinsically faster and can be conducted in a flow-through geometry. I will discuss the pros and cons of either method.
Dr. Zoran Sodnik,
Telecommunication and Integrated Application (TIA) directorate in ESA
Dr Zoran Sodnik is the Optical Communication Technology Manager within the Telecommunication and Integrated Application (TIA) directorate in ESA. He coordinates the implementation of the Secure and Laser communication technology (ScyLight) work plan developing technologies in optical communication, quantum key distribution and photonics in European and Canadian industry and academia. The High throughput Optical Network (HydRON), an ESA project to seamlessly extend the terrestrial fibre network into space, is implemented within ScyLight. Dr Sodnik is performing R&D on a novel satellite telescope design with multiple optical ground stations, optical and quantum communication terminals for LEO constellations and developing adaptive optics systems for free-space laser communications at terabit data rates.
Optical Communication developments in ESA and the road ahead
The presentation will cover technological developments in optical communications at ESA over the last 40 years. It will start by explaining advantages (and disadvantages) of optical communications compared to classical radio communication systems and outline the challenges. This will be followed by achievements in optical communications over the last 25 years that brought Europe to the forefront of the technology. The presentation will then give an overview of the latest international developments/announcements of thousands of low earth orbiting (LEO) satellites announced to become interconnected, many of which with optical communication, and will end with ESA’s HydRON mission proposal to seamlessly extend the terrestrial fibre network into space at terabit data-rates.
Dr. Steve Lecomte, Group Leader at CSEM
Dr. Steve Lecomte is leading the Laser & Quantum Technologies group at CSEM since more than a decade. About twenty physicists and engineers are involved in the mentioned areas and system engineering as well as PIC fabrication rely on additional CSEM colleagues. Technology readiness levels.
From photonics integrated circuits to ultrastable lasers: photonics, quantum and system engineering for limitless opportunities
At the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), many photonics and quantum activities flourished in the last 15 years based on the unique know-how inherited from the local industry and institutions as well as the tackling of new technologies like photonics integrated circuits (PICs). The talk will present the different realizations and technologies that allowed to develop miniature atomic clocks, frequency combs used in spectrograph calibration for exoplanet search and spaceborn LiDARs and ultrastable lasers for gravitational wave detection.
