This book provides a comprehensive overview of nano-optics, including basic theory, experiment and applications, particularly in nanofabrication and optical characterization. The contributions clearly demonstrate how advances in nano-optics and photonics have stimulated progress in nanoscience and -fabrication, and vice versa. Their expert authors address topics such as three-dimensional optical lithography and microscopy beyond the Abbe diffraction limit, optical diagnostics and sensing, optical data- and telecommunications, energy-efficient lighting, and efficient solar energy conversion. Nano-optics emerges as a key enabling technology of the 21st century. This work will appeal to a wide readership, from physics through chemistry, to biology and engineering. The contributions that appear in this volume were presented at a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Erice, 4-19 July, 2015.Re Ch. 73 - Structure and Luminescence Properties of Nanofluorapatite Activated with Eu3+ Ions Synthesized by Hydrothermal Method, pp 567-569: The authors would like to acknowledge the National Science Centre (NSC) for financial support within the Project 'Preparation and characterization of nanoapatites doped with rare earth ions and their biocomposites' UMO-2012/05/E/ST5/03904

Provides a comprehensive overview of experiments and theory, basic physics and applications as well as nanofabrication and optical characterization
