Part II addresses the latest developments in nano-optical techniques, forming a valuable resource for engineers and scientists working in the field of nano-electro-optics.

Novel Devices and Atom Manipulation, the second and concluding volume of Progress in Nano-Electro-Optics, focuses on applications to novel devices and atom manipulation. Each chapter is written by a leading scientists in the field. Part II addresses the latest developments in nano-optical techniques, dealing with topics such as: the reasons that the resolution of nano-electro-optical techniques extend beyond the diffraction limit; applications of excitonic polaritons to opto-electronic devices; instrumentation of near-field optical microscopy to study quantum confined systems; and atom manipulation by optical near-field techniques. Together with volume I (Basics and Theory of Near-Field Optics), these overviews are a valuable resource for engineers and scientists working in the field of nano-electro-optics
