Overview

This book features a collection of reviews focusing on interrelated topics in nanophotonics, nanotechnology, nano-optics, and near-field optics written by some of the world's leading scientists in these fields.

Recent Developments

This book discusses recent developments both in fabrication and applications of nanomaterials with sub-nanometer scale. Additionally, it reviews selected topics in the areas of THz nanoscopy and ultrafast spectroscopy of nanomaterials.

Advances in Silicon Raman Lasers

This book also reviews recent advances in low-threshold silicon Raman lasers based on high-Q photonic crystal nanocavities.

Structural Colours

Finally, this book reviews artificial structural colours, emphasising both physical effects and fabrication issues.
