Abstract

Nano-optics exploits linear and nonlinear phenomena at the nanoscale to advance our understanding of materials and their interaction with light in both classical and quantum domains. This not only deepens our fundamental knowledge but also drives new photonics-based technologies, from sensing to communication. Nonlinear optics further offers a way to explore and leverage the complexity of natural structures for technological advancement. The presented research investigates natural photonic structures through holographic and nonlinear optical studies, revealing the correlations among their geometries, optical, and dynamic responses. These findings will inspire novel designs for optical devices and systems.
