Новые исследования и разработки в фотонике и нанофотонике

Abstract

The article analyzes the development of photonics and nanophotonics - a branch of nanotechnology that appeared in the early 2000s, which has the peculiarity of discovering new applied possibilities. In addition, the key domestic and foreign research participants are described and some results of the current scientific policy are discussed.

Key words: nanophotonics, photonics, interdisciplinary field, nanostructured materials, quantum technologies

The rate of growth and spread of nanotechnology (NT) is not only due to the already developed and put into practice areas (for example, semiconductor or carbon nanostructures), but also appearing again branches. One of them is nanophotonics, which is associated with the interaction of light with nanostructured materials. Her appearance as a research front in the early 2000s coincided with the dominance of NT at the state level by dozens of states. The driver of the development of nanophotonics was the discovered new opportunities in solar panels and LEDs, medical diagnostics and therapy, for ultra-secure communications, data storage, as well as in the military sphere.
In this regard, the study of new developments and research in the field of photonics and nanophotonics is gaining importance.
