Progress in Nano-Electro-Optics: Basics and Theory of Near-field Optics: v. 1 (Springer Series in Optical Sciences)

An up-to-date status report presenting the current state-of-the-art in nano-optics, this volume also deals with near-field optical microscopy. Each chapter is written by a leading scientist in the field. It will be useful to all researchers working at the forefront of near-field optics and nanoelectro-optics.

this Volume Focuses On Fundamental Aspects Of Nano-electro-optics. Starting With Fiber Probes And Related Devices For Generating And Detecting The Optical Near-field With High Efficiency And Resolution, The Next Chapter Addresses The Modulation Of An Electron Beam By Optical Near-fields. Further Topics Include: Fluorescence Spectroscopy, In Which Sample Molecules Are Excited By The Evanescent Surface Plasmon Field Close To Metallic Surfaces; Spatially Resolved Near-field Photoluminescence Spectroscopy Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots, Which Will Become An Essential Issue In Future Electro-optical Devices And Systems; And, Finally, The Quantum Theory Of The Optical Near-field. This Latter Theory Accounts For All The Essential Features Of The Interaction Between Optical Near-fields And Nanomaterials, Atoms And Molecules. Together These Overviews Will Be A Valuable Resource For Engineers And Scientists Working In The Field Of Nano-electro-optics.
