Review
"...[T]his book is a comprehensive review of the interaction of near-fields with matter... It is so clearly written that it is accessible even for undergraduate students... This book--and the entire trilogy--is a must for any university library."
--Daniela Dragoman in Optics & Photonics News, September 2005, Vol. 16 No. 9
From the Back Cover
Novel Devices and Atom Manipulation, the second and concluding volume of Progress in Nano-Electro-Optics, focuses on applications to novel devices and atom manipulation. Each chapter is written by a leading scientists in the field. Part II addresses the latest developments in nano-optical techniques, dealing with topics such as: the reasons that the resolution of nano-electro-optical techniques extend beyond the diffraction limit; applications of excitonic polaritons to opto-electronic devices; instrumentation of near-field optical microscopy to study quantum confined systems; and atom manipulation by optical near-field techniques. Together with volume I (Basics and Theory of Near-Field Optics), these overviews are a valuable resource for engineers and scientists working in the field of nano-electro-optics
