These are promising areas in the twenty-first century where electronic counterparts are replaced by all-op- tical devices and components, and henceforth, the latest novel innovations and pro- posals in the various fields of photonic engineering are assuming greater importance. Photonic crystals are considered as building blocks in optical circuits and high-fre- quency communication systems due to their novel ability of restricting electromag- netic wave propagation in some precise spectra and allowing other spectra.This feature can be used to design various optical devices and passive components like optical filters. Metamaterials are now used to improve SNR in optical 2D devices and antennas which are very important to filter out the signal from a noisy spectrum. Optical logic gates are rapidly replacing the conventional digital logic gates owing to superior speed of operation, and this is one of the prime requirements of making supercomputers. Silicon photonics nowadays are very popular in the low-dimen- sional device fabrication due to lower cost and existing fabrication technologies, and thus plays important role in today’s world of photonics. Ultra-fast photonic compo- nents such as optical modulators and detectors are finding widespread use in estab- lishing high-speed interconnects. This volume is an attempt to report the latest research domains in this direction provided by the experts/researchers in the respective fields with a major focus to high- light the basic physics as well as progress of the works. Since detailed theoretical/ana- lytical works are not generally contained in similar type of projects, so that area will be focused and tinted with major care instead of only providing experimental outputs for some particular applications. The volume comprises twelve well versed contributory chapters on the recent devel- opments in these fields apart from the introductory and concluding chapters. In the age of quantum computing, where photonic independence is the key for mak- ing superposition states, the property of the photons leads to the ability of quantum particles to inhibit two contradictory states at the same instant. Therefore, a major emphasis is given to utilize this property of photon in realizing information technology at extremely high-frequency through practical implementation of logic gates, and the corresponding branch is referred to as information optics. Chapter 1 provides a bird’s eye view on the latest status of research in photonics and information optics with refer- ence to an in-depth analysis of optical logic gates. Chapter 2 discusses the optical characterizations of TiO thin film as-deposited and 2 annealed samples on glass substrate. TiO solution is prepared by sol–gel technique 2 using titanium (IV) iso-propoxide (TTIP), acetic acid and ethanol. Thin films are deposited by spin coating of the solution on clear glass substrates and annealed at 150oC, 300oC and 450oC for 30 minutes. Ellipsometry measurement reveals thickness of TiO films to be 87.34 nm for as-deposited samples but goes on decreasing as the 2 annealing temperature is increased. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) exhibits formation of amorphous TiO thin films for all the samples on the clear glass substrate. It is also 2 ix
