Nanophotonics influences the field of nanotechnology
Nanophotonics and micro-nanotechnologies

As we have just seen, nanophotonics has become a reality thanks to the latest developments in nanotechnology. In turn, the new concepts brought about by nanophotonics will enable advances in nanotechnology.

Possible spin-offs include improved optical lithography processes, enhanced optical data storage and the introduction of optical interconnections in integrated circuits. The penetration of nanotechnologies in the field of biology is also closely linked to nanophotonic solutions. Below, we illustrate some of the advances expected from nanophotonics, and in the 4
