Light has always fascinated mankind and since the beginning of recorded history it has been both a subject of research and a tool for investigation of other phenomena. Today, with the advent of nanotechnology, the use of light has reached its own dimension where light-matter Interactions take place at wavelength and subwavelength scales and where the physical/chemkal nature of nanostructures controls the interactions. This is the field of nanophotonics which allows for the exploration and manipulation of light in and around nanostructures, single molecules, and molecular complexes. Nanophotonics deals with the interaction of light with matter at a nanometer scale, providing challenges for fundamental research and opportunities for new technologies, encompassing the study of new optical interactions, materials, fabrication techniques, and architectures, Including the exploration of natural and synthetic, or artificially engineered, structures such as photonic crystals, holey fibers, quantum dots, subwavelength structures, and plasmonics.
