Resonant Nanophotonics: tailoring resonant interaction of light with nanoclusters

Advances in nanotechnology have generated unique opportunities for on-chip integration of nanoscale photonic elements. Now the challenge is to develop new strategies for information processing in optical components at the nanoscale. It requires innovative approaches for dynamic manipulation of light at the subwavelength level. This project aims to develop compact and energy efficient photonic devices for all-optical signal processing, by engineering resonant light-matter interaction in nanoparticle clusters. This research will open new avenues for the designed light-controlled nanophotonic components which are essential for high-speed computer technologies. It will strongly enhance the standing of Australia in the field of nanotechnology.
