Abstract
This paper describes the recent progress of dressed photon (DP) technology. DP is a novel nanometric quasi-particle representing the coupled state of a photon, an electron, and a multimode-coherent phonon. Using DP, we developed nano-scale photonic device, i.e., nanophotonic device. Here we review ZnO quantum-well structures based nanophotonic device. In addition, recent progress in ultrafi ne fabrication technologies using DPs is reviewed, including DP-photochemical etching and desorption, which can be used to produce angstrom-scale fl at surfaces. The future outlook of these technologies is given.
