Abstract
In the ever onward march of nanotechnology, thin films with engineered structures at nanometer length scales continue to play central roles. Advances in theoretical and numerical methods together with the establishment of ingenious fabrication and characterization techniques have led to the development of nanostructured thin films with controlled compositions and dimensions, highly specific properties, and several functionalities. This development of increasingly sophisticated nanostructured thin films continues unabated. Clear evidence of the vitality of this field is on display each year at the Nanostructured Thin Films conference, which is a constituent of the SPIE Optics + Photonics annual meeting.
