Nanophotonic Information Physics

As well as covering the subject from basic principles to leading-edge applications, this review of recent research in applied nanophotonics aims to integrate the latest advances in nano-scale photonics, computing, and relevant enabling technologies.

This book provides a new direction in the field of nano-optics and nanophotonics from information and computing-related sciences and technology. Entitled by "Information Physics and Computing in NanosScale Photonics and Materials, IPCN in short, the book aims to bring together recent progresses in the intersection of nano-scale photonics, information, and enabling technologies. The topic will include (1) an overview of information physics in nanophotonics, (2) DNA self-assembled nanophotonic systems, (3) Functional molecular sensing, (4) Smart fold computing, an architecture for nanophotonics, (5) semiconductor nanowire and its photonic applications, (6) single photoelectron manipulation in imaging sensors, (6) hierarchical nanophotonic systems, (8) photonic neuromorphic computing, and (9) SAT solver and decision making based on nanophotonics.

Reviews recent research in applied nanophotonics Presents a wide range of topics from basic studies to applications Covers wide range of enabling technologies in nanophotonics: both top-down approach (lithography etc.) and bottom-up approach (such as DNA self-assembly) Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
