Why is Optical Control Important in Nanotechnology?
Optical control is crucial in nanotechnology for several reasons:
1. Precision: Light can be focused to extremely small areas, allowing for high precision in manipulating nanostructures. 2. Non-invasiveness: Optical methods can often control or monitor nanosystems without physically altering them. 3. Versatility: Different wavelengths and types of light (e.g., lasers, UV) can be used for various applications, from imaging to material modification.
