Handbook of Nanoscale Optics and Electronics

With the increasing demand for smaller, faster, and more highly integrated optical and electronic devices, a field called nano-optics or nano-photonics / electronics is emerging - studying the many promising optical properties of nanostructures. Like nanotechnology itself, it is rapidly growing and changing the field. This book serves as a one-stop review of modern nano-optical / photonic and nano-electronic techniques, applications, and developments.

• Provides an overview of the field of Nano-optics / photonics and electronics, detailing practical examples of photonic technology in a wide range of applications


• Discusses photonic systems and devices with mathematical rigor


• A one-stop review of modern nano-optical / photonic and nano-electronic techniques, applications, and developments.
