Why nano-optics?
• The energy scale of our interest corresponds to about 1 µm wavelength
• The length scales of scientific and technological interest are approaching the atomic scale Read Feynman’s talk “There is plenty of room at the bottom.”
We need to control electromagnetic fields and their interaction with matter at sub-λ scales.
