Description for Nanophotonics
Hardcover. Based on harnessing the power of light, photonics is the information-processing counterpart of electronics, using photons instead of electrons to far more efficiently process or transmit information, whether that it is inside a microchip, a drug delivery device, or even a living cell. Num Pages: 432 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PH; PN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 164 x 31. Weight in Grams: 868.
The only comprehensive treatment of nanophotonics currently available
Photonics is an all-encompassing optical science and technology which has impacted a diverse range of fields, from information technology to health care. Nanophotonics is photonic science and technology that utilizes light-matter interactions on the nanoscale, where researchers are discovering new phenomena and developing technologies that go well beyond what is possible with conventional photonics and electronics. These new technologies could include efficient solar power generation, high-bandwidth and high-speed communications, high-capacity data storage, and flexible- and high-contrast displays. In addition, nanophotonics will continue to impact biomedical technologies by providing new and powerful ... Read more

Reviews for Nanophotonics
"...belongs in the personal library of every researcher who is interested in entering the field...if 'Nanophotonics' had not already existed, it would have been necessary to write it." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, October 12, 2005) "…a blend of textbook, reference work and a very readable assessment of new applications…will likely be the seminal work in this field ...
