Nano-optics has become a very efficient tool to control light–matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit. The understanding of the optical response from individual and coupled nanoparticles has led to unprecedented development in a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines, ranging from molecular optics and biology, to nonlinear spectroscopy and clean energy. Research in the field of nano-optics now presents an opportunity to build on the existing work and establish novel directions for this area of research. Related to this goal, this Thematic Series covers various interactions between light and matter occuring on the nanoscale including:
