Smart materials are those which have one or more properties that changes significantly by reacting to the environment all by itself. The reaction may exhibit itself as a change in volume, color or viscosity and this may occur in response to a change in temperature, Light, stress, electrical current, pH or magnetic field.

Optoelectronics is the study and application of electronic devices and systems that source, detect and control light, usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet and infrared, in addition to visible light. Optoelectronic devices are electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducers or instruments that use such devices in their operation. Electro-optics is often erroneously used as a synonym but is a wider branch of physics that concerns all interactions between light and electric fields, whether or not they form part of an electronic device.

Advanced measurement devices along with auxiliary optical, spectroscopic and measurement devices enable us to undertake innovative, original research in the wide area of biospectroscopy and bioimaging. arch in the wide area of biospectroscopy and bioimaging. The purpose of the Biospectroscopy Research Laboratory is to offer a centralized, shared resource for time-resolved spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy that provides access to instruments, technologies, and services, as well as expert consultation.

Nanophotonics or Nano-optics is the study of the behavior of light on the nanometer scale, and of the interaction of nanometer-scale objects with light. It is a branch of optics, optical engineering, electrical engineering, and nanotechnology. It often (but not exclusively) involves metallic components, which can transport and focus light via surface plasmon polaritons.
The term “nano-optics”, just like the term “optics”, usually concerns ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light (free-space wavelength around 300-1200 nanometers).
