Title
Resonance Matters - Micro-Optical Resonators for Quantum, Bio, and Energy Applications
Abstract
This focused scientific meeting (Partnership Event) will bring together researchers from OIST and Keio University to explore recent advances in micro-optics resonators, with an emphasis on applications in quantum technologies and energy-related photonics.
Whispering-gallery resonators offer exceptional optical confinement and high quality factors, enabling strong light–matter interactions, nonlinear optical processes, and sensitive transduction mechanisms. These properties make WGMs a powerful platform for emerging quantum systems as well as for energy-relevant applications such as sensing, frequency conversion, and photonic energy management.
The meeting will feature short talks and discussions covering:
Design and fabrication of WGM microresonators and micro-optical structures
Nonlinear and quantum optical effects in high-Q resonators
Interfaces between microresonators, quantum emitters, and atomic systems
Opportunities for energy-related applications enabled by resonant photonics
