Photon Management Assisted by Surface Waves on Photonic Crystals

Viac o knihe

Focusing on innovative methods for manipulating light at the nanoscale, this book delves into Bloch surface waves (BSWs) on planar dielectric multilayers, offering a compelling alternative to surface plasmon techniques. It covers foundational concepts and explores practical applications, including the propagation and diffraction of BSW-coupled radiation. The interaction of organic emitters with BSWs is also examined, highlighting fluorescence beaming and sensing applications, such as fluorescent microarray detection, making it a valuable resource for researchers in photon management.
