Nanophotonics is the study of light behavior on a nanometer level (10⁻⁹ of a meter). Nanophotonic components are devices that interact with light-emitting devices at the nanoscale level. Photonics refers to light-emitting devices and can otherwise be known as opto-electronics. Examples of nanophotonic components include optical fibers, optical switches, LEDs, optical amplifiers, PV cells, and holographic memory. The use of nanophotonic technology in these devices is relatively new. The development of nanophotonic materials such as nanotubes, nanowires, plasmons, and quantum dots has enabled the fabrication of nanophotonic semiconductor devices. Nanomaterials have enabled chip manufacturers to develop powerful and miniaturized electronic processors that could perform calculations billions of times faster than conventional silicon-based chip processors.
