Micro- and nanophotonic technologies / edited by Patrick Meyrueis, Kazuaki Sakoda, and Marcel Van De Voorde

Edited and authored by leading experts from top institutions in Europe, the US and Asia, this comprehensive overview of micro- and nanophotonics covers the physical and chemical fundamentals, while clearly focusing on the technologies and applications in industrial R & D. As such, the book reports on the four main areas of telecommunications and display technologies; light conversion and energy generation; light-based fabrication of materials; and micro- and nanophotonic devices in metrology and control Content: Foreword Preface An Overview of Micro- and Nanophotonic Science and Technology PART I.
