Topic

edit

The conferences are devoted to the fundamental and technological issues relevant to the realization of a new generation of optoelectronic devices based on advanced low-dimensional and photonic structures, such as low threshold polariton lasers, new optical switches, single photon emitters, photonic band-gap structures, etc. They review the most recent achievements in the fundamental understanding of strong light–matter coupling, and follow the progress in the development of epitaxial and processing technologies of wide-bandgap semiconductors and organic nanostructures and microcavities providing the basis for advanced optical studies. The conferences are open to new emerging fields such as carbon nanotubes and quantum information.

The scope of these conferences covers both physics and application of a variety of phenomena related to light–matter coupling in solids such as:

Editions

edit

The International Conference on Physics of Light–Matter Coupling in Nanostructures started in 2000 in Saint-Nectaire, France. The 14th edition was held as PLMCN14 instead of PLMCN13. The next issue in 2015 was held as PLMCN2014 instead of PLMCN15. The next issue after that was, confusingly, labeled as both PLMCN2015 and PLMCN16. The next conference, PLMCN17, reverted to the traditional labeling but now in sync with the edition number. The pattern broke again with PLMCN2020 for the 21st edition which was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, instead of in Clermont-Ferrand as initially planned. No conference was scheduled for 2021, to avoid holding another PLMCN online, and thus, the PLMCN22 in Cuba got back in sync, this time both with the year (2022) and the edition number (22th).
