Nanophotonicsis a comprehensive introduction to the emerging areaconcerned with controlling and shaping optical fields at asubwavelength scale. Photonic crystals and microcavities areextensively described, including non-linear optical effects.
Local-probe techniques are presented and are used to characterizeplasmonic devices. The emerging fields of semiconductornanocrystals and nanobiophotonics are also presented.
