Topical Collection Information
Combining the achievements of photonics and nano-technology to realize thoroughly novel optical, electronic, and optoelectronic functions, nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics currently represent one of the most active scientific and technological frontiers and have become indispensable. With significant advancements, nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics have already departed from their infancy and progressed into an innovative era, where research and theoretical concepts are being notably applied functional devices and real-life applications. A great volume of research on nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics has been conducted thus far, and its achievements suggest valuable application prospects in optical communication, optical interconnection, optical memory, sensing and imaging, metrology, display and lighting, medicine, security, green energy, etc. Studies in this field are becoming increasingly widespread.
In order to evaluate the current achievements and to promote the future developments of nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics, Nanomaterials is publishing this Special Issue, “Nano-Optics and Nano-Optoelectronics: Challenges and Future Trends”. It will present reviews and state-of-the-art progress in research, as well as fundamental physics and practical technology, in the fields of nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics. Topics include, but are not limited to, nano-optics and photonics, silicon photonics, integrated photonics, nano-optoelectronics, optoelectronic integration, flat optics, photonic and plasmonic nanomaterials, metamaterials and metasurfaces, strong light–matter interactions at the nanoscale, nano-antennas, nano-waveguide chips, nano-optomechanics, nano-lasers, nano-optoelectronic detectors, quantum nano-optics, nonlinear and ultrafast nano-optics, topological photonics, and non-reciprocal nano-optics.
We welcome your excellent papers, and we believe that your contributions will help to accelerate the advancement of nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics.
