Description
New possibilities have recently emerged for producing optical beams with complex and intricate structures, and for the non-contact optical
manipulation of matter. This book fully describes the electromagnetic theory, optical properties, methods and applications associated
with this new technology. Detailed discussions are given of unique beam characteristics, such as optical vortices and other wavefront
structures, the associated phase properties and photonic aspects, along with applications ranging from cold atom manipulation to optically
driven micromachines.
Features include:
* Comprehensive and authoritative treatments of the latest research in this area of nanophotonics,
written by the leading researchers
* Accounts of numerous microfluidics, nanofabrication, quantum informatics and optical manipulation
applications
* Coverage that fully spans the subject area, from fundamental theory and simulations to experimental methods and results
Graduate students and established researchers in academia, national laboratories and industry will find this book an invaluable guide
to the latest technologies in this rapidly developing field.
Audience
Researchers, optical engineers, bioengineers, nanotechnology scientists, graduate students
