Researchers have combined these structures to
create nanophotonic counterparts of integrated circuits, as well as more efficient solar cells, ultra-small lasers and sensors, and more powerful optical microscopes.
Researchers at Rice University's Laboratory for
Nanophotonics (LANP), with colleagues at Princeton University, have developed a new method for uniting light - capturing photonic nanomaterials and high - efficiency metal catalysts,
creating an «antenna - reactor» plasmonic catalyst.
