HOW NANOTECHNOLOGY
RELATES TO OPTICS
LIGHT IS AFFECTED BY NANOTECHNOLOGY BECAUSE
LIGHT’S WAVELENGTH IS ON THE NANOSCALE

APPLICATIONS
HAS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL HOW TRANSPARENT
MATERIALS ARE
IS ABLE TO FOCUS LIGHT TO OBTAIN HIGH RESOLUTION
IMAGES
MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPLACE ELECTRICITY
BIODEGRADE UNWANTED THINGS
HAS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL HOW TRANSLUCENT
MATERIALS ARE
NATURAL
NANOTECHNOLOGY
MOTH EYES
MOTH WINGS
EDELWEISS ALPINE FLOWER
EVERYTHING ELSE IN NATURE

CURRENT OPTICAL
NANOTECHNOLOGY
CLEAR SUNSCREEN IN AUSTRALIA
UNIAXIAL YVO4 CRYSTALS HAS NEGATIVE INDEX
ANTIFERROMAGNETIC METAL HAS NEGATIVE DIELECTRIC
CONSTANT
NANOPARTICLES IN
DIFFERENT MEDIUMS
NANOPARTICLES ARE EASILY ADDED TO CURRENT
METHODS OF PRODUCTION
 NANOPARTICLES CHANGE THE WAY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS
REFLECT LIGHT
MAKE MATERIALS CHEAPER BECAUSE MAKES USE OF
SOLAR SPECTRUM MORE EFFICIENTLY
MICROPARTICLES
NANOPARTICLES
EVANESCENT WAVES
IF REFOCUSED PROPERLY, CAN PRODUCE PERFECT IMAGE
OF AN OBJECT
DISAPPEAR EXPONENTIALLY WITH DISTANCE BUT HOLD
VALUABLE INFORMATION IF REFOCUSED
OCCUR IN TOTAL-INTERNAL REFLECTION

EVANESCENT WAVES
CAN BE REFOCUSED WITH A LENS WITH A NEGATIVE
INDEX AND DIELECTRIC CONSTANT
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE
