Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics currently represents one of the most active scientific and technological frontiers. By combining the achievements of photonics and nanotechnology to thoroughly realize novel optical, electronic, and optoelectronic functions, nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics have become indispensable in science and technology. After tremendous endeavors, nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics have already departed from their infancy and entered an exciting era, in whicch research ideas and theoretical concepts are being vigorously transferred into functional devices and real-life applications. Extensive research has already been conducted on nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics, and the achievements exhibit great application prospects in optical communication, optical interconnection, optical memory, sensing and imaging, metrology, display and lighting, medicine, security, green energy, etc. The research in this field is becoming increasingly widespread.
Seeking progress in addition to these developments, semiconductor nanophotonics, a vital domain within nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics, focuses on utilizing semiconductor materials to conduct research in photonics and optoelectronics. Breakthroughs such as nanoscale lasers, nano-optoelectronic detectors, and quantum nano-optics have been enabled through the design and modulation of semiconductor nanostructures' optical and electronic properties, providing boundless potential for the future of photonics and optoelectronics.
In order to review the present research achievements and to promote the future developments of nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics, Nanomaterials is publishing this Special Issue, entitled “Nano-Opticsand Nano-Optoelectronics: Challenges and Future Trends: 2nd Edition: Semiconductor Nanophotonics”. This publication will collect reviews, state-of-the-art research, articles reviewing the newest research progress, and discussions of fundamental physics and practical technology in the fields of nano-optics and nano-optoelectronics. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, nano-optics and photonics, silicon photonics, integrated photonics, nano-optoelectronics, optoelectronic integration, flat optics, photonic and plasmonic nanomaterials, metamaterials and metasurfaces, strong light–matter interactions at the nanoscale, nano-antennas, nano-waveguide chips, nano-optomechanics, nano-lasers, quantum nano-optics, nonlinear and ultrafast nano-optics, topological photonics, and non-reciprocal nano-optics.
