In this book Sergey Gaponenko, the corresponding member of the
National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, expertly and
comprehensively introduces the key concepts, theory, and
experiments that reflect the beauty of the photonic nanoworld. In
part 1, "Electrons and Electromagnetic Waves in nanostructures",
the author develops and then compares and contrasts wave-optics
theory in periodically nanostructured systems and complex media to
electron wave mechanics in analogous systems. In part 2,
"Light-Matter Interaction in Nanostructures", Gaponenko develops
some of the topic's more specialized aspects. For example, in the
final chapter, plasmon-based light-scattering enhancement methods
are described.
