Abstract
Background. At present, with the continuous development of nanotechnology, great changes have taken place in people’s lives in medical treatment, production, daily leisure, and so on. Nanooptical technology is entirely based on nanotechnology that laser and visible light are limited to submicron structures (nanopores, nanoslits, and nanoneedles). Due to the great development potential of nanooptical technology in nanoscale sensors, TOF camera applications, THz imaging technology, and other imaging equipment materials and applications, people have been interested in it, recently. Scope and Approach. In this review, the importance of good practices for nanooptical technology used in equipment as both nanometer scale sensors and optical auxiliary equipment is described. Based on recent reports, this work discussed the development of nanooptical technology in daily photography and medical imaging from both the positive and the negative sides and compared the engineering techniques. Key Findings and Conclusions. As a kind of new optical technology, nanooptical technology can produce the plasmonic effect under the intense collision of atoms and electrons in nanostructures. It has significant effects in superresolution nanolithography, high-density data storage, near-field optics, and other fields. Although the current nanooptic technology is not extremely mature, the results obtained from current works are pointing out that nanooptical technology is the future of daily imaging and medical imaging, and it also will play a positive role in the improvement of people’s health and ecological environment quality. As a trend, nanooptical technology is developing in the direction of energy-saving, portability, high efficiency, and low pollution, and in the upsurge of environmental protection in the world, nanooptical technology will surely achieve amazing development in the field of daily photography and medical imaging. Under the huge market demand and innovation power, nanophotonics technology will cover all emerging technologies that share the same research field with it and take advantage of each technology (terahertz, cell and molecular microscopy, and nanoscale probes) to develop an unprecedented new century in nanoscience. The future trends of research contain finding new imaging equipment with nanostructure, designing nanooptical products, and improving engineering techniques.
Highlights
With the development of industrialization, optics, an ancient subject, has developed rapidly
Nanophotonics is the combination of nanotechnology and photonics, which are two major technologies in the 21st century
The lens used in mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices can be smaller, and it has exceeded the ability of traditional glass cutting and glass bending technology, so these fine, thin, and flat lenses can replace the existing bulky glass lens and further miniaturize the sensors and medical imaging equipment [27]
