Optics of Nanostructured Materials

Some of the most exciting developments in the optics and processing of nanostructured materials can be found in applied science and engineering. The topics covered in this book are at the cutting edge of research.Optik und optische Prozesse in Nanostrukturen: Ein hochaktuelles Thema, das hier aus interdisziplinärer Sicht angesprochen wird.
