Nano-optics is the study of optical phenomena and techniques on the nanometer scale, that is, near or beyond the diffraction limit of light. It is an emerging field of study, motivated by the rapid advance of nanoscience and nanotechnology which require adequate tools and strategies for fabrication, manipulation and characterization at this scale. In this 2006 text the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and experimental concepts necessary to understand and work in nano-optics. With a very broad perspective, they cover optical phenomena relevant to the nanoscale across diverse areas ranging from quantum optics to biophysics, introducing and extensively describing all of the significant methods. Written for graduate students who want to enter the field, the text includes problem sets to reinforce and extend the discussion. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and course teachers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent book for graduate students !!!,
By goblue-321 "goblue" (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Nano-Optics (Hardcover)
Professor Lukas Novotny, a well known Rochester scientist in near field optics, provides a comprehensive overview of the field. The book starts from fundamentals in classical optics (Born and Wolf), electrodynamics (J. D. Jackson), and extends to the frontiers of near field optics. It is comprehensive and in detail. Great for physics, optical engineering students who are interested in this field!
