Plasmonics : fundamentals and applications / Stefan A. Maier. - Bath ; New York : Springer, 2006. - xxiv, 223 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

Considered a major field of photonics, plasmonics offers the potential to confine and guide light below the diffraction limit and promises a new generation of highly miniaturized photonic devices. This book combines a comprehensive introduction with an extensive overview of the current state of the art. Coverage includes plasmon waveguides, cavities for field-enhancement, nonlinear processes and the emerging field of active plasmonics studying interactions of surface plasmons with active media.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [203]-219) and index.
