Nanophotonics (eBook)

PARAS N. PRASAD is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Medicine; the Samuel P. Capen Chair; and the Executive Director of the Institute of Lasers, Photonics, and Biophotonics at the University of Buffalo. Professor Prasad has published over 450 scientific papers and lectured worldwide on nanophotonics. He has offered a multidisciplinary course on nanophotonics at Buffalo as well as a short course on this subject at the SPIE professional society meetings. In May 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense, under its nanotechnology initiative, chose the Institute of Lasers, Photonics, and Biophotonics in Buffalo to lead a comprehensive multidisciplinary program in Nanophotonics involving a world-class consortium of researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Washington, and Yale University.

"...belongs in the personal library of every researcher who is
interested in entering the field...if 'Nanophotonics' had not
already existed, it would have been necessary to write it."
(Journal of the American Chemical Society, October 12, 2005)

"...a blend of textbook, reference work and a very readable
assessment of new applications...will likely be the seminal
work in this field for some time." (E-STREAMS, September
2005)

"...Prasad provides his readers with an introductory-level,
multifaceted description of the field." (Journal of Biomedical
Optics, May/June 2005)

"Paras Prasad has once again produced an invaluable reference
source related to photonics...an indispensable reference text for
anyone endeavoring to learn or teach photonics..." (Physics
Today, March 2005)

"The book is well written and well illustrated, covers all the
important concepts, and gives the right references. It is an
invaluable single resource of information on nanophotonics."
