Under resonant excitation, nanoparticles such as noble metal nanomaterials and various metal oxide nanomaterials display extremely strong light-matter interactions. At targeted wavelengths, very high absorption and scattering can be obtained. Optical NPs and nanostructures have been widely exploited in a variety of sectors, including nanophotonics and analytical chemistry, due to their appealing optical features. Five original research articles are presented here, each addressing a different aspect of optical nanomaterials synthesis, an innovative optical sensor design, and energy storage. In addition, novel physical phenomena and mechanisms are described in these disciplines. Dr. S. R. Tahhan and colleagues described the creation of a fibre Bragg grating coating for refractive index se... view more»
