Optical Response of Nanostructures (Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences): Microscopic Nonlocal Theory

Book Description
OPTICAL RESPONSE OF NANOSTRUCTURES gives a theoretical description of linear and nonlinear optical responses of matter with special emphasis on the microscopic and "nonlocal" nature of resonant response. The response field and induced polarization are determined self-consistently in terms of simultaneous linear or nonlinear polynomial equations. This scheme is a general one situated between QED (quantum electrodynamics) and macroscopic response theory, but is most appropriate for determining the dependence of optical signals on the size, shape, and internal structure of a nanostructure sample. As a highlight of the scheme, the multi-resonant enhancement of the DFWM (degenerate four wave mixing) signal is described together with its experimental verification.
