Overview

The fast research development of electronic devices, optical devices, micrometer and nanometer sized electronic and optoelectronic devices are in very high demand because of their high performance, fast functionality and very small power consumption. Nanoscale devices had replaced so many complicated and large sized devices. There are so many applications of nanodevices and their use is increasing day by day. Based on recent discoveries in nanodevices, Photonics and plasmonics come into their existence in the last 10 years. For past 40-50 years only some of their basic concepts have been known. Photonic materials and devices have played an invasive role in communications, energy conversion, and sensing since 1970s. In Broad sense, over the next 10 years nanophotonic structures and devices promise drastic reductions in energies of device operation, densely integrated systems with lower power dissipation, enhanced spatial resolution for imaging and patterning, and new sensors of increased sensitivity and specificity. (Roco, Mirkin and Hersam, 2011) The branch of science that deals with the behaviour and properties of light is known as optics. Optics generally depicts the behaviour of visible, ultraviolet and infrared light. Optics is the branch of physics optics in which focuses on manipulation of light. Mostly all the optical phenomenon uses the classical electromagnetic description of light. Light has both wave like as well as particle like properties which can be explained with the help of quantum mechanics. Optics has found its various applications in the areas of Astronomy, Engineering, photography and medicines.
