Abstract

Optical near-field interactions exhibit high-efficiency energy transfer between closely positioned nanometric materials, and the subsequent optical response induced by the transfer can be controlled by modulating the spatial distribution. We experimentally demonstrated the basic concept of such modulatable optical near-field interactions, termed Modulatable Nanophotonics, with quantum dots dispersed on a flexible substrate.
