2D Materials diverse disciplines, working with optical based on strongly Edited by Phaedon Avouris, Tony F. Heinz frequencies and length scales from a few correlated photons and Tony Low hundred nanometres to a few hundredths of and polaritons CAMBRIDGE UNIV. PRESS 232PP. £79.99 a nanometre. Featuring fundamental as well generated in hybrid as more advanced chapters, the book covers light–matter systems. This text provides topics such as the physical optics of plane This book reviews all the necessary waves, dipole antenna, blackbody radiation, progress towards background in transmission lines and waveguides, and atom quantum simulators materials science and radiation in classical and quantal atoms, based on photonic physics to discuss to name a few. Several new and extended and hybrid light– the fundamental chapters discuss metamaterials, momentum matter systems, properties of a flow between light fields and matter, and covering theoretical wide range of atom–optical forces applied to atomic and proposals and recent experimental work 2D materials, as molecular cooling and trapping. on quantum technology platforms based well as reviewing on coupled microwave resonator arrays in their potential superconducting circuits, semiconductor- applications in Laser Beam Shaping Applications based polariton systems and integrated electronic, optoelectronic and photonic By Fred M. Dickey and Todd E. Lizotte quantum photonic chips. It also covers some devices. Several important classes of materials CRC PRESS 430PP. £155.00 of the most important works in this area, are covered, from the more established ones, such as the proposal of Mott transitions and such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride This resource broadly Luttinger liquid physics with light, simulation and transition metal dichalcogenides, to covers real-world of relativistic theories, topological insulators new and emerging materials, such as black laser-beam-shaping and gauge field physics. phosphorus, silicene and germanene. Written applications. It for graduate students, researchers and details the important practitioners working in nanotechnology, features of beam Deep Imaging in Tissue and nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, condensed- shaping and reveals Biomedical Materials matter physics and chemistry, this book gives the subtleties of Edited by Lingyan Shi and Robert Alfano an in-depth understanding of the electronic the theory and the PAN STANFORD 524PP. £159.00 structure and optical, thermal, mechanical, techniques through vibrational, spin and plasmonic properties applications.

Furthermore, the different In this second probing and imaging techniques that can be used for their synthesis edition, new chapters cover illumination biomedical media are featured. light shaping in optical lithography, optical is promising for the micro-manipulation of live mammalian cells development of safe, through trapping, sorting and transfection, non-invasive and Light–Matter Interaction and laser beam shaping through fibre-optic inexpensive clinical By John Weiner and Frederico Nunes beam delivery. Other applications also imaging modalities OXFORD UNIV. PRESS 432PP. £52.50 discussed are lithography, laser printing, with diagnostic optical data storage, stable isotope separation ability. The advent of Light–matter and spatially dispersive lasers. ultrafast lasers has interaction enabled applications is ubiquitous of nonlinear optical processes, which allow throughout the Quantum Simulations with Photons deeper imaging in biological tissues with disciplines of optical and Polaritons higher spatial resolution. This book provides and atomic physics, Edited by Dimitris G. Angelakis an overview of emerging novel optical condensed-matter SPRINGER 214PP. £72.50 imaging techniques. It features pioneering physics, and electrical works that employ linear and nonlinear engineering, and Quantum simulators are specially designed optical imaging techniques for deep tissue now increasingly in quantum computers to simulate and imaging, which include the new applications biology and medicine understand complex and inaccessible of single- and multi-photon excitation with frequency and quantum many-body phenomena found fluorescence, Raman scattering, coherent length scales extending over many orders of or predicted in condensed-matter physics, anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy, and near- magnitude. This book provides the principal materials science and exotic quantum field infrared and mid-infrared supercontinuum tools needed to understand and contribute theories. Technological developments in the spectroscopy. It also covers how spatial to rapidly advancing developments in fields of interfacing light and matter, especially information can be improved by using the light–matter interaction. It is written in many-body quantum optics, have motivated the near-infrared optical windows where for advanced students and researchers in recent proposals for quantum simulators scattering is reduced for deep imaging.
