• principles and concepts of DPP technology differ significantly from those of conventional wave-optical technologies such as photonic crystals [29], plasmonics [30], metamaterials [31], or quantum-dot photonic devices [32], in which the size and function are governed by the light diffraction limit. Therefore

• from the device, which provides access to the object from all directions. This technique has been employed with photonic crystals to trap spheres in nano-cavities [10] and to control the translation and the rotation of nano-rods by using resonators etched in waveguides [11].

• -dimensional photonic crystals (PhCs) [7][8][9]. To this end, a number of techniques, including an atomic layer epitaxy [10], chemical vapor deposition [11], and photoresist patterning [12][13], have been used to deposit various morphologies of ZnO patterns on substrates. There is intense current interest in
