Photonics and DNA nanotechnologies complement each other well in a way that DNA nanostructures can be used to build intricate nano-optical systems. The DNA origami method has been particularly successful in creating the building blocks for photonics. Precise positioning of elements at the nanoscale is crucial for manipulating light fields, and this can be achieved by attaching specific nano-objects to a folded DNA molecule in a controlled manner. This review will highlight successful examples of how DNA origami and photonics can collaborate effectively.
