Nanodevices for Photonics and Electronics

Advances and Applications

edited by Paolo Bettotti

This book, with contributions from several authors, deals with a wide range of photonics and electronics issues. After a short introduction, the following two chapters focus on periodic and aperiodic photonic crystals. Chapter 4 is about disorder photonics. A few electronic applications, like using nanowires for THz detection, are discussed in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 is dedicated to optomechanics. Chapters 7 through 10 deal with optoelectronic applications of quantum dots, silicon lasers, and photonic ring resonators for biosensing.

All chapters end with an extensive list of references and are beautifully illustrated.

Although the individual contributions to the book are highly valuable, the book lacks an overall coherence and is thus a collection of various topics and issues, with only a few topics receiving in-depth coverage. The best way to use this book might be to download the chapters you are interested in and read them carefully.
