Abstract
“Quantitative innovation” in optical technology is required for future optical information-transmission systems, that is, increasing the integration of photonic devices by reducing their size and heat generation. Furthermore, novel applications such as optical information-processing systems are expected by realizing “qualitative innovation,” meaning novel functions and operations in photonic devices that are impossible with conventional photonic devices, such as lasers, modulators, and waveguides. This chapter reviews how the “nanophotonics” provides us “qualitative innovation.”
