Key developments of nanophotonics over the next decade

Nano photonics is already playing an important role in our daily lives，and its market products are in great demand. In this article we highlight eleven areas which are exputed to have important impart on the photonics industry and cammerial applications within the nest five to ten years. These include：nanoscale quantum optics，all-optical routing，plasmonics for enhanced magnetic storage，optical diagnosis therapy and drug delivery，nanoscale imaging，chemical and biological sensing at the molecular scale，nanotagging ，manipulation of light distribution at the nanoscale (solar cell and light emitting diodes)，new processing techniques for prototyping，nanophotonic materials with tailored optical properties，and terahertz devices.
