Lecture 1 – Overview Is Nano a hype or the future?
EECS 598-002 Winter 2006 Nanophotonics and Nano-scale Fabrication P.C.Ku Nano!
Okay… you open a newspaper or magazine, turn on the TV, surf the internet, go to supermarket, and you pretty much be sure will hear the word nano popped up somewhere in the news and products. You started to feel excitement (and at times, suspicion, fear, or even sick) in your hearts.
Now you come to this course on double nano’s and your feeling is even stronger. You wonder why all of a sudden everything is nano’ed. Does it make any difference?

EECS 598-002 Nanophotonics and Nanoscale Fabrication by P.C.Ku 5 What is nanophotonics
Photonics – Study or the use of light-matter interaction. For example, the study of the interaction between light and electrons in ruby crystal leads to the first laser.
Nanophotonics – Study or use of photonics in nanoscale materials or technologies.
For example optical properties of quantum dots
For example the use of photonics in nanoscale CMOS processing or nano-resolution microscopy.

Technology is meant to improve our life experience and fulfill our curiosity for exploration.
In addition to making the device smaller and smaller, we also need to focus on several key parameters:
Human interface (portability, accessibility, etc)
Multi-functionality (e.g. SOC-MT)
Lower power consumption
Green manufacturing

EECS 598-002 Nanophotonics and Nanoscale Fabrication by P.C.Ku 29 Brief history of electromagnetics Quantitative observation of EM fields
1785: Coulomb discovered (partly by experiment) the inverse square law for the force between two charges. Electric field was then introduced as the force per unit charge.
1819: Oersted observed the current can deflect the needle of a compass. Biot, Savart, and Ampere then established the law of force between one current and another. The magnetic field was introduced as the force per unit current.
1834: Faraday discovered that any change in the magnetic environment of a coil of wire will induce a voltage in the coil.
