Nanoimprinting scales up imaging, sensing, spectroscopy applications

摘要

Nano-optics has the potential to be used for imaging, sensing, and spectroscopy, and it could help scientists improve solar cells, design better drugs, and make faster semiconductors. Nano-optic devices precisely manipulate light in ways that are unachievable by conventional optics. "Integration of complex photonic structures onto optical fiber facets enables powerful platforms with unprecedented optical functionalities, " write the authors of a paper on the topic.
