Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation of light-matter interactions in materials, especially those on the nanoscale, represents perhaps the most promising avenue for scientific progress in the fields of photonics and plasmonics. This book examines a variety of topics, starting from fundamental principles, leading to the current state of the art research. For example, this volume includes a chapter on the sensing of biological molecules with optical resonators (microspheres) combined with plasmonic systems, where the response this system are described in a fundamental and elegant manner using coupled mode theory. Symmetry plays a major role in the book. One chapter on time reversal symmetry in electromagnetic theory describes how to control the properties of light (e.g. scattering and directionality of the flow of light) in materials with certain topological invariants. Another chapter where symmetry is prominent reformulates, using a gentle and pedagogical approach, Maxwell’s Equations into a new set of fields that reveal a “handedness” symmetry in electromagnetic theory, which can be applied to photonic systems in, for example, the sensing of chiral molecules and understanding the conditions for zero reflection. Also, for students and researchers starting in the field of nanoplasmonics, the book includes a tutorial on the finite element time domain simulation of nanoplasmonic systems. Other topics include photonic systems for quantum computing, nanoplasmonics, and optical properties of nano and bulk materials. The authors take a pedagogical approach to their topic, making the book an excellent reference for graduate students and scientists starting in the fields of photonics or plasmonics.
Download or read book Light Matter Interaction written by John Weiner and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws together the essential elements of classical electrodynamics, surface wave physics, plasmonic materials, and circuit theory of electrical engineering to provide insight into the essential physics of nanoscale light-matter interaction and to provide design methodology for practical nanoscale plasmonic devices. A chapter on classical and quantal radiation also highlights the similarities (and differences) between the classical fields of Maxwell's equations and the wave functions of Schrödinger's equation. The aim of this chapter is to provide a semiclassical picture of atomic absorption and emission of radiation, lending credence and physical plausibility to the "rules" of standard wave-mechanical calculations. The structure of the book is designed around five principal chapters, but many of the chapters have extensive "complements" that either treat important digressions from the main body or penetrate deeper into some fundamental issue. Furthermore, at the end of the book are several appendices to provide readers with a convenient reference for frequently-occurring special functions and explanations of the analytical tools, such as vector calculus and phasors, needed to express important results in electromagnetics and waveguide theory.

Book excerpt: The manipulation of light at the nanometer scale is highly pursued for both fundamental sciences and wide applications. The diffraction limit of light sets the limit for the smallest size of photonic devices to the scale of light wavelength. Fortunately, the peculiar properties of surface plasmons in metal nanostructures make it possible to squeeze light into nanoscale volumes and enable the manipulation of light and light–matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit. Studies on surface plasmons have led to the creation of a booming research field called plasmonics. Because of its various scientific and practical applications, plasmonics attracts researchers from different fields, making it a truly interdisciplinary subject. Nanophotonics: Manipulating Light with Plasmons starts with the general physics of surface plasmons and a brief introduction to the most prominent research topics, followed by a discussion of computational techniques for light scattering by small particles. Then, a few special topics are highlighted, including surfaceenhanced Raman scattering, optical nanoantennas, optical forces, plasmonic waveguides and circuits, and gain-assisted plasmon resonances and propagation. The book discusses the fundamental and representative properties of both localized surface plasmons and propagating surface plasmons. It explains various phenomena and mechanisms using elegant model systems with well-defined structures, is illustrated throughout with excellent figures, and contains an extensive list of references at the end of each chapter. It will help graduate-level students and researchers in nanophotonics, physics, chemistry, materials science, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and electrical and electronic engineering get a quick introduction to this field.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction of electromagnetic waves with materials is at the basis of several phenomena influencing our everyday lives. Throughout the past few decades we are witnessing a rapid progress in the development of new platforms to engineer and design different aspects of wave-matter interaction for applications ranging from green energy harvesting, to high speed data communication, and medicine. In line with these developments, the advent of metamaterials, or artificially structured materials, introduces an alternative path to mold and control electromagnetic waves with degrees of freedom that are not accessible in natural materials. There is, however, a strong need to broaden the range of applicability of metamaterials thorough strong nanoscale light management, real-time tunability, ease of fabrication, and lowering the losses. In this study we discuss that to what extent it is possible to engineer the scattering, absorption, and local wave-matter interaction of metamolecules, as the basic building-blocks of metamaterials, as well as assembles of them forming complex systems. In this work, first, we propose and investigate new nanoparticle geometries with tailored complex absorption and scattering signatures. We demonstrate that plasmonic-based nanostructures can be tailored to provide unprecedented control of their scattering and absorption/emission response over broad bandwidths, specifically in the optical frequency range. We show that judicious combination of plasmonic-dielectric singular nanoparticles provides very efficient broadband and controllable light absorption and amplification. Based on these composite elements, we propose a nanoscale optical switch with strong sensitivity and tunability. These engineered nanoparticles are also particularly interesting for applications in nonlinear optics, spasing, and energy-harvesting devices. Next, we answer the fundamental question of "to what extent the unwanted scattering from a general absorbing body may be reduced?". We demonstrate the theoretical limitations of a furtive sensor and provide a proof of the concept implementation of minimum-scattering superabsorbers at optical and microwave frequencies. Based on our theoretical analysis, we also explore experimental realization of microwave low-scattering antennas. This study is of particular importance for the near-field subdiffractive probing and closely-packed antenna designs. Last, we propose a new degree of freedom in controlling the propagation and scattering of light through proper arrangements of dissimilar metamolecules over a surface, i.e. gradient metasurfaces. We theoretically investigate and design metasurfaces that are capable of performing complex wave shaping functionalities such as cloaking, yet, over a single ultrathin volume. Our full analytical approach enables us to underline the inherent limitations and wide range of capabilities of metasurfaces, and we propose novel techniques to significantly improve the efficiency of wave manipulation by metasurfaces. We also investigate the proposed concept of local wave manipulation in several practical applications in beam steering, improved energy harvesting, and cloaking arbitrary obstacles, accompanied by experimental realization of negative reflection from optical metasurfaces. Such unprecedented control of optical wave propagation along with compatibility of metasurfaces with standard lithographic techniques and on-chip technology will significantly impact the future application of metasurfaces, paving the way toward flat, compact optical devices.
