Photonics Volume 2: Nanophotonic Structures And Materials

Building upon the photonics knowledge based formed in Volume One, Volume Two focuses on nanophotonic structures and materials. The volume addresses cavity photonics, cold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates, displays, E-paper, grapheme, integrated photonics, liquid crystals, metamaterials, micro- and nanostructure fabrication, nanomaterials, nanotubes, plasmonics, quantum dots, spintronics, and thin film optics.

David L. Andrews leads research on fundamental molecular photonics and energy transport, optomechanical forces and nonlinear optical phenomena. He has over 160 research papers and also eight books to his name - including the widely adopted textbook Lasers in Chemistry. The current focus of his research group is on novel mechanisms for optical nanomanipulation and switching, and light-harvesting in nanostructured molecular systems. The group enjoys strong international links, particularly with groups in Canada, Lithuania, New Zealand and the United States. Andrews is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and he is the inaugural Chair of the SPIE Nanotechnology Technical Group.
