Popis: Optical properties are among the most entrancing and helpful properties of nanomaterials and have been widely examined utilizing an assortment of optical spectroscopic strategies. Here, we present a detailed discussion covering the optical properties of metal nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots, metallic clusters, and carbon-based materials. It covers UV-Vis absorption and the photoluminescence (PL) properties, their control, and origins in various nanoparticles. Different mechanisms in which nanostructures exhibit PL are discussed. The optical-related applications of nanoparticles are explained in a detailed manner. We have critically analyzed the surface-enhanced Raman scattering and nonlinear optical limiting properties of different types of nanostructures.
