Abstract
The content that appears in this chapter has been largely adapted from the following publications: McMahon JM, Gray SK, Schatz GC (2008) Dephasing of electromagnetic fields in scattering from an isolated slit in a gold film. Proc. SPIE 7033: 703311/1-6. DOI:10.1117/12.790647. Babayan Y, McMahon JM, Li S, Gray SK, Schatz GC, Odom TW (2009) Confining standing waves in optical corrals. ACS Nano 3:615–620. DOI:10.1021/nn8008596. McMahon JM, Gray SK, Schatz GC (2011) Surface nanophotonics theory. In:Wiederrecht. G (ed) Comprehensive Nanoscience and Technology. Elsevier, Amsterdam (in press). The experimental work that appears in this chapter was done by Babayan Y and Odom TW. Although, the experimental aspects are not discussed heavily, and the reader interested in such details is referred to Refs. [1–3].
