Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This second book of the trilogy Progress in Nano-Electro-Optics is a comprehensive review of the applications of optical near-field interaction with matter ... . It is so clearly written that it is accessible even for undergraduate students. An extensive and updated reference list can be found at the end of each chapter, and the book includes an extended index. This book - and the entire trilogy - is a must for any university library." (Daniela Dragoman, Optics and Photonics News, Vol. 16 (9), September, 2005)

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
