The Development and Progression of Micro-Nano Optics

Abstract

Micro-Nano optics is one of the most active frontiers in the current development of optics. It combines the cutting-edge achievements of photonics and nanotechnology, which can realize many brand-new functions on the basis of local electromagnetic interactions and become an indispensable key science and technology of the 21st century. Micro-Nano optics is also an important development direction of the new optoelectronics industry at present. It plays an irreplaceable role in optical communication, optical interconnection, optical storage, sensing imaging, sensing measurement, display, solid-state lighting, biomedicine, security, green energy, and other fields. In this paper, we will summarize the research status of micro-nano optics, and analyze it from four aspects: micro-nano luminescent materials and devices, micro-nano optical waveguide materials and devices, micro-nano photoelectric detection materials and devices, and micro-nano optical structures and devices. Finally, the future development of micro-nano optics will be prospected.

Regulating the particle sizes of NaA molecular sieves toward enhanced heavy metal ion adsorption

“…20 Wang et al produced CS-ZIF-8 molecular sieves by synthesizing ZIF-8 in situ using acid solubilization/alkali immobilization with chitosan as a carrier. The theoretical maximum adsorption of Cu(II) and Pb(II) by CS-ZIF-8 was 165.7 mg g À1 and 131.4 mg g À1 , respectively, with an optimal adsorption pH of 5, and the equilibrium time of adsorption of Cu(II) was 5 h and the equilibrium time for adsorption of Pb(II) was 2 h. 21 Currently, most molecular sieves are in the micrometer size range, which results in a lower saturated adsorption capacity and poor adsorption efficiency. The size of the molecular sieve has a great influence on its adsorption performance, [22][23][24] the adsorption performance tends to be limited by their relatively small specific surface area, less exposed crystalline cells, and longer transport paths; the smaller the particle size of the molecular sieve, the greater the pressure drop, while the larger the particle size, the lower the efficiency.…”

A historical overview of nano-optics: From near-field optics to plasmonics

“…A large amount of work and reviews have discussed the development progress of nano-optics. [6][7][8][9] However, discussions about the transversion of nano-optics study in general pictures are few. In this review, the development process of nano-optics is mainly focused on the transversion from nearfield optics to plasmonics.…”

Characteristics of Elliptical Vibration-Assisted Cutting with Variations in Tilt Angle of Elliptical Locus

“…Micro/nanostructured surfaces can provide advanced and interesting functions. A large number of applications of these functional structured surfaces in different fields, including optics [ 1 , 2 ], solar energy technology [ 3 ], and measuring systems [ 4 ], provide a challenge for accurate and efficient processing. To overcome this problem, many machining methods have been demonstrated [ 5 , 6 ].…”
