Description
Nanophotonics is the science of controlling light generation, manipulation, transport, and detection on ultra-small length scales. It is an emerging technology that involves the interaction of light with structures smaller than approximately 100nm.
The technology has a far-reaching application landscape, and photovoltaics and displays are likely to become the most attractive applications in the near future. This will be mainly due to the rising solar energy contribution in the global energy matrix, the growing space and efficiency issues for existing PV materials, and the increasing importance of high-performance consumer electronics, which will drive the need for nanophotonics material development.
This Frost & Sullivan study focuses on identifying and analyzing emerging nanophotonics materials that will overcome the challenges faced by existing materials; it also discusses methods to increase the commercial adoption of the technology in the displays, quantum computing, photovoltaics, imaging, sensing, telecom, data storage, lasers, and LED lighting industries. Emerging materials under study are divided into 7 segments, that is, metals, ceramics, polymers, nanomaterials, metamaterials, phase-change materials, and stimuli-responsive polymers.
As observed during the research, there are several sub-categories of materials being researched and tested in nanophotonics technology - from metal alloys and ceramics to quantum dots and metamaterials. Metals and ceramics-based nanophotonic materials are already in use in several applications such as medical, telecom, quantum computing, lasers, and data processing. Among the emerging material segments, quantum dots are one of the most attractive materials, and they are seeing substantial commercial adoption, mainly in applications such as displays, photovoltaics, and LED lighting, whereas metamaterials hold potential in medical imaging and sensor applications. Data processing applications such as quantum computing continue to prefer ceramic-based materials (silicon photonics) due to their high thermal stability; however, other high-performance materials are also being tested.
Frost & Sullivan’s IP analysis identified that IP activity is largely concentrated in the United States and Asia-Pacific due to the increasing funding support from well-established device manufacturers such as Samsung and LG. Moreover, the R&D in the material segment has been rising over the past 2-3 years, and most of the developments are promising at the theoretical level. The reason behind the gap between the development and the deployment of material technology is the lack of commercial production tools for the implementation of the new materials.
Key questions this study answers:
What are the existing and the emerging materials needed to develop nanophotonics products and components?
What are the stakeholder activities in nanophotonics material R&D and commercialization?
What are the growth opportunities for nanophotonics application material developers?
