Introduction to micro- and nanooptics

This first textbook on both micro- and nanooptics introduces readers to the technological development, physical background and key areas. The opening chapters on the physics of light are complemented by chapters on refractive and diffractive optical elements. The internationally renowned authors present different methods of lithographic and nonlithographic fabrication of microoptics andintroduce the characterization and testing of microoptics. The second part ofthe book is dedicated to optical microsystems and MEMS, optical waveguide structures and optical nanostructures, including photonic crystals and metamaterials. The whole is rounded off by three appendices on Fourier mathematics, integration using the method of stationary phase and optical simulation techniques. Each chapter includes exercises illustrating a sample approach to new and complex topics, plus solutions -- making the textbook suitable for lectures on optics as part of a physics or electrical engineering course.
