Abstract
Nanophotonics is the combination of Photonics and
Nanotechnologies, study of the behaviour of light on the
nanometer scale and interaction of light with particles
or substances at deeply sub-wavelength scale. The benefit
of nanophotonics is new functionalities for systems.
Functionalities obtained with nanophotonics can be
utilized in several fields: optical communications,
information processing, data storage, displays, user
interfaces, lighting and sensors. In order to estimate
the performance and characteristics of the system, the
modeling is the first step. In order to be able to
utilize the novel functionalities in real systems, the
structures need to be fabricated and the performance of
the device needs to be verified experimentally. In the
fabrication phase, the tailoring of conventional
fabrication processes and development of totally new
processing technologies needs to be assessed. The
nanophotonics research and development needs
multidisciplinary approach. The proceedings of the
Finland-Japan Symposium covers an overview on latest
research activities on the field of nanophotonics and
related technologies in Finland and Japan. The symposium
is jointly organized by VTT, the Secure-Life Electronics,
Global Center-of-Excellence (GCOE) Program of the
University of Tokyo and the Nanophotonics Research Center
of the University of Tokyo.
