progress toward the realization of ultraflat materials surfaces. First, we review the development of surface-flattening techniques. Second, we briefly review the dressedphoton–phonon (DPP), a nanometric quasiparticle that describes the coupled state of a photon, an electron, and a multimode-coherent
model that describes the scale-dependent effects of optical near-fields. Finally, we present the future outlook for these technologies.

Introduction
In order to improve device performance and to
nanophotonics in the next section.
Optical near field: dressedphoton–phonon
Near-field optics has made it possible to reduce the size of photonic devices to the sub-wavelength scale or smaller [17]. In particular, nanoscale photonic devices such as AND-gates, NOT-gates, and focusing devices have been developed
