Nano-Optics Group CICESE
The Nano-Optics Group, CICESE Monterrey, was formed in 2008. The group works on plasmonics, evanescent-wave phenomena, optical instrumentation for biosensors and nanophotonics. The group forms part of CICESE area at the Research and Technological Innovation Park (PIIT) in Apodaca, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
Nano-optics is the study of the behavior of light on the nanometer scale. It is considered as a branch of optics which deals with the interaction of light with particles or substances, at subwavelength scales. Technologies in the realm of nano-optics include engineering of micro- and nano-optical devices, development of highly sensitive optical sensors, research of optical metasurfaces and integrated photonics.
The study of nanophotonics involves two broad themes
1) Studying the novel properties of light at the nanometer scale
2) Enabling highly power efficient devices for engineering applications.
The study has the potential to revolutionize the telecommunications industry by providing low power, high speed, interference-free devices such as electro-optic and all-optical switches on a chip.
