Summary

This book provides an introduction to nanophotonics, a newly emerged and rapidly evolving field combining optics, quantum physics, material sciences, and electrical engineering. It illustrates the theoretical foundations as well as the major advances in the field based on artificial metallic and dielectric nanostructures.

Introduction to Nanophotonics Summary

Introduction to Nanophotonics by Henri Benisty (Professor, Professor, Institut d'Optique, Universite Paris-Saclay)

The aim of this textbook is to provide an overview of nanophotonics, a discipline which was developed around the turn of the millennium. This unique and rapidly evolving subject area is the result of a collaboration between various scientific communities working on different aspects of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. These include near-field optics and super-resolution microscopy, photonic crystals, diffractive optics, plasmonics, optoelectronics, synthesis of metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles, two-dimensional materials, and metamaterials. The book is aimed at graduate students with a background in physics, electrical engineering, material science, or chemistry, as well as lecturers and researchers working within these fields.

Introduction to Nanophotonics Reviews

The last decade has seen a true revolution in the field of nanophotonics. This textbook provides a comprehensive overview at an introductory level, written by three eminent figures in the field. It will be invaluable to students and researchers alike. * Andrea Alu, City University of New York *
Introduction to Nanophotonics is more than a treatise on photons and electrons being lost on tiny metallic islands or in a jungle of nano-structured materials; the authors discuss numerous useful configurations while ensuring the reader does not lose sight of the underlying principles, including an unprecedentedly clear description of the role of plasmons. * Dieter Pohl, University of Basel *
This is a comprehensive, unified account of the subject of nanophotonics written by highly respected members of the optics and solid-state physics communities. * Mark Fox, University of Sheffield *
Written by leading authorities working at the cutting edge of the field, this textbook is a uniquely comprehensive, coherent, and rigorous introduction to nanophotonics. * Lucio Andreani, University of Pavia *

About Henri Benisty (Professor, Professor, Institut d'Optique, Universite Paris-Saclay)

Henri Benisty received his PhD in electrochemistry in 1989 in Paris, working on the photonics of semiconductor integrated optics devices and LEDs enhanced with microcavities and two-dimensional photonic crystals, with the aim to improve either light confinement or light extraction. He is the co-founder of the French startup Genewave (now merged with Finnish Mobidiag), which works on fluorescence biochips. He has contributed to studies of sensors featuring a resonant waveguide grating response in various contexts and was instrumental to introducing the the idea of plasmonic losses within the recently introduced topic of parity-time symmetry in optics. Jean-Jacques Greffet is an alumnus of the Ecole Normale Superieure de Paris-Saclay. He received his PhD in solid state physics in 1988 from Universite Paris-Sud working in light scattering by rough surfaces. Between 1994 and 2005, he worked on the theory of image formation in near-field optics. Since 1998, he has made a number of seminal contributions to the field of thermal radiation at the nanoscale including the demonstration of coherent thermal sources and the prediction and measurement of giant radiative heat transfer at the nanoscale due to surface phonon polaritons. Since 2000, he has contributed to the field of quantum plasmonics and light emission with nanoantennas and metasurfaces. Philippe Lalanne is an alumnus of the Ecole Normale Superieure de St Cloud. Currently, he is a CNRS researcher working at Bordeaux University. He is an expert in nanoscale electrodynamics, with an emphasis on modelling and theory. His current research is devoted to understanding how light interacts with subwavelength structures to demonstrate novel optical functionalities. He has launched new modal theories and has pioneered the development of large-NA metalenses with high-index nanostructures in the 1990s.
