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 local electromagnetic interactions between
nanometric objects and optical fields. Addressing a wide range of important
issues, the book reviews the theory behind these interactions and presents novel
applications for nanophotonic device operations, fabrications, and systems.
