Optical Nanotechnologies: The Manipulation of Surface and Local Plasmons / Edition 1

by Junji Tominaga, Din P. Tsai

Overview

This book treats the phenomena and techniques of advanced optics confined in nanometer-scale regions, especially near-field optics and surface as well as local plasmons. Written by internationally distinguished scientists the coverage extends from the basics to the most advanced technologies, system characteristics and methods of manipulation.
