Overview

Plasmonics has already revolutionized molecular imaging, cancer research, optical communications, sensing, spectroscopy, and metamaterials development. This book is a collective effort by several research groups to push the frontiers of plasmonics research into the emerging area of harnessing and generation of photon angular momentum on micro- and nanoscales. It offers a glimpse into the ongoing research efforts to develop new types of plasmonic vortex pinning platforms and chiral nanostructures for light harvesting, bio(chemical) sensing, drug discovery, and nanoscale energy transfer.

This book admirably illustrates the richness and fascinating physics of chiroptical effects in light scattering and of plasmonic vertical effects, including the generation of twisted light and concentration of light via nanoscale vortices pinned to metallic nanostructures. Prof. Federico Capasso, Harvard University, USA This book provides excellent and comprehensive discussions of the rapidly emerging field of chiral nanoplasmonics and will undoubtedly serve as the standard reference for many years to come. Prof. Peter Nordlander, Rice University, USA This book reveals the beauty of optical phenomena associated with the twisting of photons and plasmons and introduces the readers to the state-of-the-art toolbox in theory and experiments to explore this exciting area. Prof. Nicholas X. Fang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA This book goes a long way in making the emerging field of singular and chiral nanoplasmonics accessible to a broad audience! Prof. Mikael Kall, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden This timely book brings the most up-to-date concepts on the interaction between structured light and nanostructured matter in this rapidly evolving field. Prof. Vladimir M. Shalaev, Purdue University, USA
