Abstract

This study explores the principles and diverse applications of CL, particularly in the analysis of inorganic compounds and nanophotonic structures. It examines various facets of CL, including aperture effects, transmission modes, resolution, momentum, scanning techniques, and modulation within CL imaging. The study underscores significant advancements in CL technology, highlighting its utility in characterizing nanostructures, plasmonic materials, and optoelectronic devices. The discussion emphasizes CL’s role in mapping the Local Density of Optical States (LDOS) with high spatial and energy resolution, thereby advancing the understanding of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Emerging applications of CL in real-time monitoring of dynamic nanoscale processes are also explored, alongside its integration with advanced nanofabrication techniques. This integration facilitates enhanced characterization of quantum emitters and complex optical systems, pushing the boundaries of nanoscale optical research. Additionally, the study addresses the potential of CL to revolutionize optical sensing and imaging, offering transformative insights for future photonic device engineering. By leveraging its high spatial resolution and sensitivity to nanoscale phenomena, CL is positioned as a crucial tool in advancing both fundamental research and technological innovation. The review encapsulates how CL is evolving to meet the demands of cutting-edge applications, making it an indispensable technique in the ongoing exploration and manipulation of nanoscale optical properties and processes.

Keywords: Cathodoluminescence (CL), nanophotonic structures, local density of optical states (LDOS), quantum emitters, optical sensing
