This book gives an account of a number of recent developments in
two different subfields of research, optics and micro--electronics.
The leading principle in presenting them together in one book is
the striking similarity between a variety of notions in these two
research areas. We mention in this respect tunneling, quantum
interference and localization, which are important concepts in
quantummechanics and more specifically in condensed matter physics.
Miniaturization in solid state engineering has led to new phenomena
in which these concepts play their significant roles. As it is the
wave character of electrons which is strongly emphasized in these
phenomena one's attention is quite naturally directed to the field
of optics in which the above quantum-mechanical notions all seem to
have their direct classical wavemechanical counterparts. Both
micro--electronics and optics have been and still are in a mode of
intensifying activity. The possibilities to technically "translate"
devices developed within one research field to similar devices in
the other field are strongly increasing. This opens, among other
things, a door leading to "quantummechanics" on a macroscopic scale
with visible light under relatively easily accessible experimental
conditions, or to "wave optics II in the domain of solid state
physics. Thinking in terms of analogies is important anyhow, but it
is especially the cross-fertilization between optics and
micro--electronics which according to the editors will lead to
deepened insights and a new type of technology.
