Devoted to the presentation of recent results in nanoplasmonic technology, this informative account contains theoretical and experimental analysis of the plasmonic properties of nanoparticles of different shapes and materials. Dealing with the oscillation of conduction electrons in nanoparticles and nanostructures, calculation recipes, the latest applications of nanoplasmonics--such as passive and active components of nano-opto-epectronics, nanobiosensos, nanolasers, plasmonic metamaterials, and "perfect" lenses and "invisible cloaks"--this valuable resource is an important reference for students and professionals alike.
