[PDF] Near-Field Optics and Surface Plasmon Polaritons Dieter W. Pohl (auth.), Prof. Satoshi Kawata (eds.)

This book describes in detail the physics of localized surface plasmon polaritons excited near fine metallic structures and the principles of near-field optics and microscopy related to this localized field. It covers not only near-field optical microscopy but also wider fields such as local spectroscopy, nano-scale optical processing, quantum near-field optics, and atom manipulation.
