Features Contains discussions of the basic principles of quantum
optics and its importance to lasers, quantum information, and
quantum computation. Provides references and a further reading list
to additional scientific literature so that readers can use the
book as a starting point to then follow up with a more advanced
treatment of the topics covered. Requires only a basic background
in undergraduate electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and
statistical mechanics.
This book gives a readable introduction to the important, rapidly
developing, field of nanophotonics. It provides a quick
understanding of the basic elements of the field, allowing students
and newcomers to progress rapidly to the frontiers of their
interests. Topics include: The basic mathematical techniques needed
for the study of the materials of nanophotonic technology; photonic
crystals and their applications as laser resonators, waveguides,
and circuits of waveguides; the application of photonic crystals
technology in the design of optical diodes and transistors; the
basic properties needed for the design and understanding of new
types of engineered materials known as metamaterials; and a
consideration of how and why these engineered materials have been
formulated in the lab, as well as their applications as negative
refractive index materials, as perfect lens, as cloaking devices,
and their effects on Cherenkov and other types of radiation.
Additionally, the book introduces the new field of plasmonics and
reviews its important features. The role of plasmon-polaritons in
the scattering and transmission of light by rough surfaces and the
enhanced transmission of light by plasmon-polariton supporting
surfaces is addressed. The important problems of subwavelength
resolution are treated with discussions of applications in a number
of scientific fields. The basic principles of near-field optical
microscopy are presented with a number of important applications.
The basics of atomic cavity physics, photonic entanglement and its
relation to some of the basic properties of quantum computing, and
the physics associated with the study of optical lattices are
presented.
