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.
