This book introduces readers to the cutting-edge topic of nanophotonic photochemical reactions and their applications. From among the various innovations in optical technology achieved by means of the non-uniform optical near field, it focuses on photochemical reactions at the n…
The trend towards many-core systems continues to grow. Scaling single chip systems with higher core counts however leads to increasing fabrication costs and low process yields. Multichip systems can alleviate these concerns but require substantial chip-to-chip bandwidth to provi…
This dissertation addresses photonic devices enabled by the guided-mode resonance (GMR) effect. As periodic phototonic structures can become highly reflective or transmissive at resonance, this effect has been utilized to design suites of optical elements including reflection fi…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous interest since the study of graphene in the early 21st century. With their thickness in the angstrom-to-nanometer range, 2D materials, including graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, phosphorene, silicene, and other …
