Nanophotonics trends

IntertechPira has released a technology study titled “Advances in Nanophotonics,” which provides an overview of the field, including challenges and emerging trends across a wide range of industries. It discusses nanophotonics applications, among them, biosensors, quantum computing, data storage, memory devices and flat panel displays. Developments in related materials and devices are addressed, including LEDs, lasers, biomaterials, nanocrystals, surface plasmon, nanophosphors, near-field optics, photonic crystals (2- and 3-D), as well as quantum dots, wells and wires. A section is devoted to manufacturing techniques such as extrusion, deposition, micromachining, microlithography, stacking, self-assembly and holographic lithography. A list of nanophotonics suppliers and users is provided. The price of the report is $556.88.

There are 2 suppliers of Quantum Dots in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

nano: An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
quantum dots: A quantum dot is a nanoscale semiconductor structure, typically composed of materials like cadmium selenide or indium arsenide, that exhibits unique quantum mechanical properties. These properties arise from the confinement of electrons within the dot, leading to discrete energy levels, or "quantization" of energy, similar to the behavior of individual atoms or molecules. Quantum dots have a size on the order of a few nanometers and can emit or absorb photons (light) with precise wavelengths,...
