Download or read book Near-field Optics: Principles And Applications - Proceedings Of The Second Asia-pacific Workshop written by Motoichi Ohtsu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000-09-05 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near-field optics, dealing with the interaction between optical field and matter in the nanometric region, has become an interdisciplinary field spaning physics, chemistry, materials science, electrical engineering and high density data storage. This book reflects the recent status of this rapidly growing field. It discusses the basic theories, instrumentation, novel probes, theoretical simulations, and the application of near-field optics to the fields of condensed matter physics, new materials, information storage, atom photonics, etc. It provides an overview of the research on near-field optics in the 1990s.
