Book info: Optics at the Nanometer Scale: Imaging and Storing with Photonic Near Fields (NATO Science Series E:, 319) (Hardcover, 312 pages) – Springer, 1996. Language: English.

Optics at the Nanometer Scale: Imaging and Storing with Photonic Near Fields deals with the fundamentals of and the latest developments and applications of near-field optical microscopy, giving basic accounts of how and under what circumstances superresolution beyond the half- wavelength Rayleigh limit is achieved. Interferometric and fluorescence techniques are also described, leading to molecular and even atomic resolution using light. The storage of optical information at this level of resolution is also addressed. Editorial Reviews Review `This book is essential reading not only for specialists in the field, but for newcomers. It sets out basics on which we can build. I recommend it very highly indeed.'
