Analogies in Optics and Micro Electronics: Selected Contributions on Recent Developments

This book gives an account of a number of recent developments in two different subfields of research, optics and micro—electronics. The leading principle in presenting them together in one book is the striking similarity between a variety of notions in these two research areas. We mention in this respect tunneling, quantum interference and localization, which are important concepts in quantummechanics and more specifically in condensed matter physics. Miniaturization in solid state engineer...
