Photonics Elements for Sensing and Optical Conversions - Paperback

by Nikolay L. Kazanskiy (Editor)

This book covers a number of a rapidly growing areas of knowledge that may be termed as diffractive nanophotonics. It also discusses in detail photonic components that may find uses in sensorics and optical transformations.
