Nanophotonics

Beschreibung

The only comprehensive treatment of nanophotonics currentlyavailable Photonics is an all-encompassing optical science and technologywhich has impacted a diverse range of fields, from informationtechnology to health care. Nanophotonics is photonic science andtechnology that utilizes light-matter interactions on thenanoscale, where researchers are discovering new phenomena anddeveloping technologies that go well beyond what is possible withconventional photonics and electronics. These new technologiescould include efficient solar power generation, high-bandwidth andhigh-speed communications, high-capacity data storage, andflexible- and high-contrast displays. In addition, nanophotonicswill continue to impact biomedical technologies by providing newand powerful diagnostic techniques, as well as light-guided andactivated therapies. Nanophotonics provides the only available comprehensive treatmentof this exciting, multidisciplinary field, offering a wide range oftopics covering: * Foundations * Materials * Applications * Theory * Fabrication Nanophotonics introduces students to important and timely conceptsand provides scientists and engineers with a cutting-edgereference. The book is intended for anyone who wishes to learnabout light-matter interactions on the nanoscale, as well asapplications of photonics for nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology.Written by an acknowledged leader in the field, this text providesan essential resource for those interested in the future ofmaterials science and engineering, nanotechnology, and photonics.

"...belongs in the personal library of every researcher who isinterested in entering the field...if 'Nanophotonics' had notalready existed, it would have been necessary to write it."(Journal of the American Chemical Society, October 12, 2005) "...a blend of textbook, reference work and a very readableassessment of new applications...will likely be the seminalwork in this field for some time." (E-STREAMS, September2005) "...Prasad provides his readers with an introductory-level,multifaceted description of the field." (Journal of BiomedicalOptics, May/June 2005) "Paras Prasad has once again produced an invaluable referencesource related to photonics...an indispensable reference text foranyone endeavoring to learn or teach photonics..." (PhysicsToday, March 2005) "The book is well written and well illustrated, covers all theimportant concepts, and gives the right references. It is aninvaluable single resource of information on nanophotonics."(Journal of Metals Online, September 1, 2004)
