The essentials of both classical and quantum optics are presented before embarking through a stimulating selection of further topics, such as various plasmonic phenomena, thermal effects, open quantum systems, and photon noise. Didactic and thorough in style, and requiring only basic knowledge of classical electrodynamics, the text provides all further physics background and additional mathematical and computational tools in a self-contained way. Numerous end-of-chapter exercises allow students to apply and test their understanding of the chapter topics and to refine their problem-solving techniques.Graduate Texts in Physics,1868-4513Quantum opticsOptical materialsElectronic materialsLasersPhotonicsSurfaces (Physics)Interfaces (Physical sciences)Thin filmsOpticsElectrodynamicsQuantum Opticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Surface and Interface Science, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25160Classical Electrodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21070Quantum optics.Optical materials.Electronic materials.Lasers.Photonics.Surfaces (Physics).Interfaces (Physical sciences).Thin films.Optics.Electrodynamics.Quantum Optics.Optical and Electronic Materials.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Surface and Interface Science, Thin Films.Classical Electrodynamics.535.15Hohenester Ulrichauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut293930MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418442103316Nano and Quantum Optics2255326UNISA
