New Interfaces: Nanophotonics

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Paras N. Prasad has a lot to say about nanophotonics. So much, in fact, that his plenary talk on “Photonics’ Pivotal Role in the Nano/Bio/Info Revolution: New Interfaces” during the OPTO part of SPIE Photonics West 2009 ran over – and he didn’t even get to mention everything in his abstract. Prasad is a distinguished professor of chemistry, physics, medicine and electrical engineering at State University of New York at Buffalo, where he holds the Samuel P. Capen chair. He also is executive director of the Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics. In his talk Tuesday, he expressed...Read full article

    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.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
