With the increasing demand for smaller, faster, and more highly integrated optical and electronic devices, as well as extremely sensitive detectors for biomedical and environmental applications, a field called nano-optics or nano-photonics/electronics is emerging - studying the many promising optical properties of nanostructures. Like nanotechnology itself, it is a rapidly evolving and changing field - but because of strong research activity in optical communication and related devices, combined with the intensive work on nanotechnology, nano-optics is shaping up fast to be a field with a promising future. This book serves as a one-stop review of modern nano-optical/photonic and nano-electronic techniques, applications, and developments. It provides overview of the field of Nano-optics/photonics and electronics, detailing practical examples of photonic technology in a wide range of applications. It discusses photonic systems and devices with mathematical rigor precise enough for design purposes. This is a one-stop review of modern nano-optical/photonic and nano-electronic techniques, applications, and developments.
