Photon Management Assisted by Surface Waves on Photonic Crystals

Mehr zum Buch

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.
