Summary:

The field of nanophotonics covers several key enabling technologies that have the potential to drive economic growth and impact numerous applications domains, such as integrated circuits technology, the environment, healthcare, military, transport, manufacturing and energy. This book gives readers the theoretical underpinnings needed to understand the latest advances in the field. After an introduction to the area, chapters 2 and 3 cover the essential topics of electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and computation as these relate to nanophotonics. Subsequent chapters explore materials for nanophotonics including nanoparticles, photonic crystals, nanosilicon, nanocarbon, III-V and II-VI semiconductors. Fabrication and characterization techniques are addressed, and the important field of plasmonics is covered. The final chapter describes applications of nanophotonics in devices such as lasers, LEDs and photodetectors. Fundamentals and Applications of Nanophotonics provides a systematic review of this important area for academics and post-graduate students in photonic, optics and nanoscience as well as those working in industry in the areas of nanotechnology, photonics, microelectronics, nanoelectronics, semiconductor, sensors, lasers, optical materials and devices, biology and nanomaterials.
