Abstract :
New opportunities of manipulating light propagation as well as controlling light-matter interaction arise with the use of nanophotonic structures. Here we discuss two recent examples of such opportunities: a one-way electromagnetic waveguide that fundamentally suppresses the effects of disorder-induced backscattering, as well as the possibility of creating strong photon-photon interactions at a few photon level with the use of photonic crystals.
