Optical Near Fields Introduction to Classical and Quantum Theories of Electromagnetic Phenomena at the Nanoscale
Using the thin film of light, the optical near field, that is localized on the surface of a nanometric material has removed the diffraction limit as a barrier to imaging on the nano- and atomic scales. But a paradigm shift in the concepts of optics and optical technology is required to understand th...
