<p>Plasmonics is entering the curriculum of many universities, either as a stand alone subject, or as part of some course or courses. Nanotechnology institutes have been, and are being, established in universities, in which plasmonics is a significant topic of research.</p> <p><i>Modern Plasmonics</i> book offers a comprehensive presentation of the properties of surface plasmon polaritons, in systems of different structures and various natures, e.g. active, nonlinear, graded, theoretical/computational and experimental techniques for studying them, and their use in a variety of applications.</p><ul><li>Contains material not found in existing books on plasmonics, including basic properties of these surface waves, theoretical/computational and experimental approaches, and new applications of them.</li><li>Each chapter is written by an expert in the subject to which it is devoted.</li><li>Emphasis on applications of plasmonics that have been realized, not just predicted or proposed. </li></ul>
