Nanophotonics, photonic crystals and metamaterials include a family of nanoscale photonic structures and devices where light matter interaction takes place within the wavelength and sub-wavelength scales and, on the other hand, the physical, chemical and structural nature of artificially or naturally nanostructured matter determines these interactions.
