Nonlinear Super-Resolution Nano-Optics and Applications

This book covers many advances in the subjects of nano-optics and nano photonics. The author describes the principle and technical schematics of common methods for breaking through the optical diffraction limit and focuses on realizing optical super-resolution with nonlinear effects of thin film materials. The applications of nonlinear optical super-resolution effects in nano-data storage, nanolithography, and nano-imaging are also presented.

This book is useful to graduate students majoring in optics and nano science and also serves as a reference book for academic researchers, engineers, technical professionals in the fields of super-resolution optics and laser techniques, nano-optics and nano photonics, nano-data storage, nano imaging, micro/nanofabrication and nanolithography and nonlinear optics.

Presents the common methods for obtaining nano metric optical resolving Focuses on breaking through the diffraction limit with optical nonlinear effects of thin film materials Establishes a relationship of nano-optics and nano photonics with nonlinearity effects Provides lots of technical schematics for real applications Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
