Photonics concerns the generation, transport, processing and detection of light. It underlies a large amount of industrial activity, mainly devoted to information technology, telecommunications, environmental monitoring, biomedical science and instrumentation. The field has received a powerful impetus recently with the introduction of nanoscale ...
The book emphasizes the role of surface effects in optical phenomena in nanoscience from two different perspectives. When systems are reduced in volume, the surface versus volume ratio increases: this translates, at the level of single nanostructures, into enhanced role of interfacial chemistry and thermodynamics, and, at the level of systems of ...
This is the only comprehensive treatment of nanophotonics currently available. Photonics is an all-encompassing optical science and technology which has impacted a diverse range of fields, from information technology to health care. Nanophotonics is photonic science and technology that utilizes light-matter interactions on the nanoscale, where ...
The development of advanced dielectric photonic structures has enabled tremendous control over the propagation and manipulation of light. Structures such as waveguides, splitters, mixers, and resonators now play a central role in the telecommunications industry. This book will discuss an exciting new class of photonic devices, known as surface ...
There has been an increasing interest in recent years in Nanophotonics. Nanophotonics is a very broad field, encompassing aspects from both a fundamental point of view and with regard to future applications in photonic devices and materials. The scope of the book is to introduce concept, methods, and applications in nanophotonics.
Closely related to quantum optics and nanostructure fabrication technologies, nanophotonics has the potential to revolutionize telecommunications and is expected to shift the paradigm of the optical industry in the coming years. Written by leading experts in this field, "Principles of Nanophotonics" describes this novel technology, which uses ...
This third volume in the series represents the Proceedings of the 3rd International Nanophotonics Symposium, July 6-8, 2006, Icho-Kaikan, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan. Over a two-day symposium, distinguished scientists from around the world convened to discuss the latest progress in this field and the conclusions have been summarised in "Nano ...
Advancements with micro/nanooptical fabrication technologies have led to the new generation of optical components. "Microoptics and Nanooptics Fabrication" explores this vital relationship, detailing state-of-the-art fabrication processes as they affect a micro or nanooptical component's intended performance. Various contributors examine such ...
Miniaturization and mass replications have begun to lead the optical industry in the transition from traditional analog to novel digital optics. As digital optics enter the realm of mainstream technology through the worldwide sale of consumer electronic devices, this timely book aims to present the topic of digital optics in a unified way. Ranging ...
