Nanophotonicsis a comprehensive introduction to the emerging area
concerned with controlling and shaping optical fields at a
subwavelength scale. Photonic crystals and microcavities are
extensively described, including non-linear optical effects.
Local-probe techniques are presented and are used to characterize
plasmonic devices. The emerging fields of semiconductor
nanocrystals and nanobiophotonics are also presented.
Preface.
Chapter 1. Photonic crystals: from microphotonics to
nanophotonics.
Chapter 2. Bidimensional photonic crystals for photonic integrated
circuits.
Chapter 3. Photonic crystal fibers.
Chapter 4. Quantum Dots in optical microcavities.
Chapter 5. Nonlinear optics in nano- and microstructures.
Chapter 6. Third-order optical nonlinearities in photonic
crystals.
Chapter 7. Controling the optical near-field: implications for
nanotechnology.
Chapter 8. Sub-wavelength optics: toward plasmonics.
Chapter 9. The confined universe of electrons in semiconductor
nanocrystals.
Chapter 10. Nano-biophotonics.
List of Authors.
