Descrizione articolo

Riassunto:

Considered a major field of photonics, plasmonics offers the potential to confine and guide light below the diffraction limit and promises a new generation of highly miniaturized photonic devices. This book combines a comprehensive introduction with an extensive overview of the current state of the art. Coverage includes plasmon waveguides, cavities for field-enhancement, nonlinear processes and the emerging field of active plasmonics studying interactions of surface plasmons with active media.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"A book which gives an overview of plasmonics, an area of physics that could revolutionise computing and telecommunications over the next two decades ... . The book, the product of one year’s work, is one of first modern overviews of plasmonics since the 1980s and is aimed at those starting in the field and experienced researchers as well." (www.huliq.com, May, 2007)

"This book serves as an exceptionally accessible entrée into a 100-year-old field that continues to provide new surprises. ... In about 200 pages, the author succeeds in communicating both the basic knowledge that is required for one to enter this research area and the excitement of new challenges and opportunities in the field. ... this book demonstrates an exact fitness for its purpose, which is to provide a ‘useful tool for both current and future participants in this area.’" (K. Alan Shore, Optics and Photonics News, October, 2008)

"The book ‘Plasmonics, fundamentals and application’ by S.A. Maier presents an appealing up to date description of the interaction of light with nanoparticles, from concepts to recent discoveries. It is a very good introduction to the field for graduate or undergraduate students." (Luc Henrard, Physicalia Magazine, Vol. 30 (4), 2008)

"Maier’s work a very timely and welcome addition to any bookshelf. ... The subject material is well organized, and clearly presented throughout, with abundant references to the primary literature. ... any undergraduate student doing a final year project on plasmonics will undoubtedly find this text extremely helpful. Furthermore, lecturers will also find it useful ... . In short, Stefan Maier’s text is very well written and fills a real gap in the market." (Mark Fox, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 50 (4), July-August, 2009)
