Molecular photonics is a rapidly developing and multi-disciplinary field of research involving the construction of molecular assemblies comprising photoactive building blocks that are responsive to a light stimulus. A salient challenge in this field is the controlled assembly of these building blocks with nanoscale precision. DNA exhibits considerable promise as an architecture for the templated assembly of photoactive materials. In this Concept Article we describe the progress that has been made in the area of DNA photonics, in which DNA acts as a platform for the construction of optoelectronic assemblies, thin films and devices.
分子光子学是一个快速发展的多学科研究领域，涉及构建由对光刺激有响应的光活性构建块组成的分子组装体。该领域的一个突出挑战是通过纳米级精度来控制这些构建块的组装。DNA 作为光活性材料模板组装的结构具有很大的应用前景。在这篇概念文章中，我们描述了 DNA 光子学领域的进展，其中 DNA 作为构建光电组件、薄膜和器件的平台。
