Abstract

Throughout this book, I have investigated the fundamental properties of optical nanocomposites and their potential as next-generation optical materials. To summarize how my findings bridge different gaps between fundamental research and practice, I, in this chapter, address each of the four main questions that I set out to answer in the introduction. In addition, also provide my perspective on how the challenges that will inevitably arise when the concepts I developed in this book are brought closer to commercialization can be overcome. Finally, I summarize some promising directions for future research.
