Progress in Nano-Electro-Optics I Basics and Theory of Near-Field Optics

This book focuses on fundamental aspects of nano-electro-optics. Starting with fiber probes and related devices for generating and detecting the optical near-field with high efficiency and resolution, the next chapter addresses the modulation of an electron beam by optical near-fields. Further topics include: florescence spectroscopy, in which sample molecules are excited by the evanescent surface plasmon field close to metallic surfaces; spatially resolved near-field photo-luminescence spectroscopy of semiconductor quantum dots, which will become an essential component in future electro-optical-devices and systems; and, finally, the quantum theory of the optical near-field.Ohtsu, Motoichi is the author of 'Progress in Nano-Electro-Optics I Basics and Theory of Near-Field Optics' with ISBN 9783540435044 and ISBN 3540435042.
