Abstract
Near-field optics and photonics have been developed extensively in this decade mainly in relation to scanning optical near-field microscopy and related techniques. The underlying physics and potential for applications are, however, spreading into many areas dealing with the interaction of electromagnetic fields with matter. This book is intended to present the basic ideas involved in the rapidly expanding field of near-field optics and photonics to graduate students and researchers, using both experimental and theoretical materials based on original work of the authors. As a general introduction to near-field optics and photonics, we start with a consideration of the physics involved in general optical processes.
