Integrated Nanophotonic Devices, 2nd Edition

Preface

“I didn’t have time to write you a short letter so I wrote you a long one.”

Mark Twain

Nanophotonics is a newly developing and an exciting field, with two main areas of interest: imaging/vision and devices for sensing and information transport. By nanophotonics one usually refers to the science and devices involving structures with submicron dimensions (specifically less than 100 nm) and which are interacting with photons. The disciplines developed in the field of nanophotonics have far-reaching influences in both private and public sectors, with potential applications ranging from faster computing power and “smart” eyeglasses, to national safety, security, and medical applications. The recent advances in the field of nanotechnology ...
