Abstract
The present chapter describes how to realize nanophotonics for the requirements of the 21st century. This is possible by generating and utilizing an optical near field. Sections 2.1 and 2.2 describe the principles for generating and detecting the optical near field. These reviews introduce the theoretical discussions in Chaps. 4–8.
