Nanophotonics

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 researchers are discovering new phenomena and
developing technologies that go well beyond what is possible with
conventional photonics and electronics. These new technologies
could include efficient solar power generation, high-bandwidth and
high-speed communications, high-capacity data storage, and
flexible- and high-contrast displays. In addition, nanophotonics
will continue to impact biomedical technologies by providing new
and powerful diagnostic techniques, as well as light-guided and
activated therapies.

Nanophotonics provides the only available comprehensive treatment
of this exciting, multidisciplinary field, offering a wide range of
topics covering:

* Foundations

* Materials

* Applications

* Theory

* Fabrication

Nanophotonics introduces students to important and timely concepts
and provides scientists and engineers with a cutting-edge
reference. The book is intended for anyone who wishes to learn
about light-matter interactions on the nanoscale, as well as
applications of photonics for nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology.
Written by an acknowledged leader in the field, this text provides
an essential resource for those interested in the future of
materials science and engineering, nanotechnology, and photonics.
