文档介绍：This page intentionally left blankPRINCIPLES OF NANO-OPTICSNano-optics is the study of optical phenomena and techniques on the nanometerscale, that is, near or beyond the diffraction limit of light. It is an emerging ?eld ofstudy, motivated by the rapid advance of nanoscience and nanotechnology whichrequire adequate tools and strategies for fabrication, manipulation and characteri-zation at this of Nano-Opticsthe authors provide prehensive overview ofthe theoretical and experimental concepts necessary to understand and work innano-optics. With a very broad perspective, they cover optical phenomena relevantto the nanoscale across diverse areas ranging from quantum optics to biophysics,introducing and extensively describing all of the signi?cant is the ?rst textbook speci?cally on nano-optics. Written for graduate stu-dents who want to enter the ?eld, it includes problem sets to reinforce and extendthe discussion. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and course Professor of Optics and Physics at the University ofRochester. He heads the Nano-Optics Research Group at the Institute of Optics,University of Rochester. He received his . from the Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology (ETH) in Switzerland. He later joined the Paci?c Northwest NationalLaboratory, WA, USA, where he worked in the Chemical Structure and DynamicsGroup. In 1999 he joined the faculty of the Institute of Optics at the University ofRochester. He developed a course on nano-optics which was taught several timesat the graduate level and which forms the basis of this textbook. His general inter-est is in nanoscale light–matter interactions ranging from questions in solid-statephysics to biophysical Head of the Nano-Optics Group and a member of the Swiss Na-tional Center petence in Research in Nanoscale Science at the Institute ofPhysics at the University of Basel.
