| Research Abstract |
In order to break through the limitations of conventional optical signal processing systems based on propagating light, we have developed novel functionalities by exploiting optical near-field interactions occurring at the nanometer scale, particularly by their enabling optical energy transfer and their scale-dependent, hierarchical properties. Experimental verifications have successfully been demonstrated by using ZnO nanorods, semiconductor quantum dots, and so forth.
