Nanoscopy and Nanospectroscopy [Paperback]

This book builds a narrative on the near-field optical and spectroscopic studies with an emphasis on plasmonic and photonic assisted nano-optics as a tool for super-lensing. Deliberations on near-field studies using confined light in various applications are included alongwith their commercial implications.1. Theory of Light Scattering and Applications. 2. Plasmonic and Optical Confinement. 3. Dielectric and Metallodielectric Nanophotonics and Optical Confinement. 4. Optical Nanoscopy. 5. Far-Field Spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). 6. Near-Field Nanospectroscopy and Tip Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS). 7. Conclusions and Future Directions.
