Handbook of Nanoscale Optics and ElectronicsAuthor(s): Gary Wiederrecht\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780123751782, 978-0123751782\nSynopsis\nWith 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.
