Nano-Photonics for Advanced Networks

By Shigeru Nakamura, Yoshimasa Sugimoto, Kiyoshi Asakawa

This book encourages optoelectronic researchers and engineers to exploit innovative nano-photonic applications in next-generation information and communications systems. The authors discuss applications enabled by three forms of nano-photonics: silicon photonics, photonic crystals and surface plasmons, with a view to the development of the defining applications and technologies of tomorrow. They explain topics clearly for readers both new to the field and experts in photonics, providing: basic knowledge of the general structures, physics and characteristics of optoelectronic devices; advanced understanding of the specific structures, physics and characteristics of the latest nano-scale optoelectronic and surface-plasmonic devices and related technologies; and an account of practical applications for each form of nano-photonics, among them: optical transception, LiDAR, optical neuro-computing, optical random access memory and high-power and narrow-beam surface-emitting lasers. The book is organised to treat the basics of each form of nano-photonic device and then the applications. Specialist researchers studying and practitioners employing nano-photonics will find Nano-photonics for Advanced Networks to be a useful means of keeping track of both the properties and applications of such devices. The book will also serve graduate students well as a comprehensive sourcebook for the subject.
