Principles of Nano-Optics. Este artículo no está disponible.Principles of Nano-Optics

Research in optics and photonics, in parallel with the rapid development of nanoscience, has driven advancements within many fields of contemporary science and technology, allowing nano-optics to flourish as a research field. This authoritative text provides a comprehensive and accessible account of this important topic, beginning with the theoretical foundations of light localization and the propagation and focusing of optical fields, before progressing to more advanced topics such as near-field optics, surface plasmons in noble metals, metamaterials, and quantum emitters. Now in its third edition, the book has been substantially restructured, expanded, and developed to include additional problem sets and important topics such as super-resolution microscopy, random media, and coupled-mode theory. It remains an essential resource for graduate students and researchers working in photonics, optoelectronics, and nano-optics.

Lukas Novotny is a Professor of Photonics at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich. From 1999 to 2012 he was a faculty member of the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, where he started one of the first research programs in Nano-Optics. The first edition of 'Principles of Nano-Optics' evolved from the lectures he taught at the Institute.

Bert Hecht is a Full Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Würzburg. In his early career he worked in near-field optical microscopy and plasmonics at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory (Rüschlikon). After receiving his Ph.D. in 1996, he joined the Physical Chemistry Laboratory of ETH Zürich, studying the combination of single-molecule spectroscopy with scanning probe techniques. He was awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation research professorship at the University of Basel in 2001 and has been a recipient of DFG Reinhart-Koselleck funding.
