A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

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.

Revue de presse :

"...belongs in the personal library of every researcher who is interested in entering the field...if ′Nanophotonics′ had not already existed, it would have been necessary to write it." ( Journal of the American Chemical Society, October 12, 2005)

" a blend of textbook, reference work and a very readable assessment of new applications will likely be the seminal work in this field for some time." (E–STREAMS, September 2005)

"...Prasad provides his readers with an introductory–level, multifaceted description of the field." (Journal of Biomedical Optics, May/June 2005)

"Paras Prasad has once again produced an invaluable reference source related to photonics...an indispensable reference text for anyone endeavoring to learn or teach photonics " (Physics Today, March 2005)

"The book is well written and well illustrated, covers all the important concepts, and gives the right references. It is an invaluable single resource of information on nanophotonics. (Journal of Metals Online, September 1, 2004)
