We are pleased to welcome the scientists interested in research on near field optics,
NFO, to the famous Japanese resort area of Shirahama. This area is known for its
hot spring along the beach where we can exchange and discuss the recent research
progress in NFO. You will enjoy a nice ocean view, where a small rocky island glows
with beautiful sunsets that will remind you of our NFO Conference's logo, and also
its success.
This conference is the fifth International Conference on Near Field Optics and Related
Techniques (NFO-5), and is the first to be held in Asia (after Besancon 1992, Raleigh
1993, Brno, 1995, and Jerusalem, 1997). Near Field Optics is one of the most active
research areas in science and technology. It enables us to look at the nanoscopic
world, using light beyond the diffraction limit, or to manipulate and fabricate mesoscopic-scale
structures. In the conference, many scientists in the world propose new theories,
instrumentation and applications and show analyses, and experimental results. |
