What are the Applications of Optical Engineering in Nanotechnology?
There are numerous applications of optical engineering in nanotechnology, including:
Photonic Crystals: These are periodic optical nanostructures that affect the motion of photons. They are used in creating high-efficiency LEDs and solar cells. Metamaterials: Engineered materials with properties not found in nature, used to create superlenses and cloaking devices. Nanolasers: Extremely small lasers that can be used in medical diagnostics and communications. Bio-imaging: Techniques like fluorescence imaging use nanoparticles to enhance the resolution and contrast of biological samples.
