The Annual Meeting Photonic Devices (AMPD) takes place at the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) since 2007 and is part of the Berlin Mathematics Research Center MATHEON / Excellence Cluster MATH+ .
The topics of the meetings are the simulation, physical properties and deeper understanding of novel photonic devices. The audience consists of physicists, mathematicians and electrical engineers. Our intent is to have an active exchange of results, ideas and methods between these different scientific fields from fundamental to applied research.
In 2021, the Meeting is shifted and the audience is pointed to the Second Workshop on Theoretical and Numerical Tools for Nanophotonics (TNTN2021). TNTN 2021 will be held at Bordeaux, France.
In 2020, TNTN2020 took place at Zuse Institute Berlin, comprising both, the XXIX International Workshop on Optical Wave and Waveguide Theory and Numerical Modelling (OWTNM), and the 13th Annual Meeting Photonic Devices (AMPD). .
Up-to-date information are also distributed via our mailing list.
The Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) is an interdisciplinary research institute for applied mathematics and data-intensive high-performance computing. Its research focuses on modeling, simulation and optimization with scientific cooperation partners from academia and industry.
