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.

Über Autor(innen)

PARAS N. PRASAD is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Medicine; the Samuel P. Capen Chair; and the Executive Director of the Institute of Lasers, Photonics, and Biophotonics at the University of Buffalo. Professor Prasad has published over 450 scientific papers and lectured worldwide on nanophotonics. He has offered a multidisciplinary course on nanophotonics at Buffalo as well as a short course on this subject at the SPIE professional society meetings. In May 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense, under its nanotechnology initiative, chose the Institute of Lasers, Photonics, and Biophotonics in Buffalo to lead a comprehensive multidisciplinary program in Nanophotonics involving a world-class consortium of researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Washington, and Yale University.
