Nanooptics

Nanooptics is the study of how light interacts with structures that are incredibly small, at a scale much thinner than a human hair. At this nanometer level, materials can manipulate light in unique ways, enabling devices like ultra-sensitive sensors, improved microscopes, and advanced photonic technologies. This field explores phenomena such as enhanced light absorption, localization, and scattering caused by nanostructures, allowing scientists to control light with high precision. Nanooptics combines physics, engineering, and materials science to develop innovative solutions for communication, imaging, and energy applications at the smallest scales.
