This book illustrates original pathways to manipulate light at the
nanoscale by means of surface electromagnetic waves (here, Bloch
surface waves, BSWs) on planar dielectric multilayers, also known
as one-dimensional photonic crystals. This approach is particularly
valuable as it represents an effective alternative to the widely
exploited surface plasmon paradigm. After a brief overview on the
fundamentals of BSWs, several significant applications of
BSW-sustaining structures are described. Particular consideration
is given to the propagation, guiding, and diffraction of
BSW-coupled radiation. Further, the interaction of organic emitters
with BSWs on planar and corrugated multilayers is investigated,
including fluorescence beaming in free space. To provide greater
insight into sensing applications, an illustrative example of
fluorescent microarray-based detection is presented. The book is
intended for scientists and researchers working on photon
management opportunities in fields such as biosensing, optical
circuitry, and lighting.
