subwavelength and Nanometer diameter optical fibers 英文原版

　　Subwavelength and Nanometer Diameter Optical Fibers provides
acomprehensive and up-to-date coverage of research on
nanoscaleoptical fibers including the basic physics and engineering
aspects ofthe fabrication, properties and applications. The book
discusses opti-cal micro/nanofibers that represent a perfect fusion
of optical fibersand nanotechnology on subwavelength scale and
covers a broadrange of topics in modern optical engineering,
photonics and nano-technology spanning from fiber optics,
near-field optics, nonlinearoptics, atom optics to nanofabrication
and microphotonic compo-nents/devices. It is intended for
researchers and graduate students inthe fields of photonics,
nanotechnology, optical engineering and ma-terials science.

　　Dr. Limin Tong is a professor at Department of Optical
Engineeringand State Key Laboratory of Modern Optical
Instrumentation ofZhejiang University, China; Dr. Michael Sumetsky
is a researcher atOFS Laboratories, USA.
