   [Book review in Contemporary Physics]

   
   With full color throughout, this unique text provides an accessible yet rigorous introduction to the basic principles, technology, and applications of nanophotonics. It explains key physical concepts such as quantum confinement in semiconductors, light confinement in metal and dielectric nanostructures, and wave coupling in nanostructures, and describes how they can be applied in lighting sources, lasers, photonic circuitry, and photovoltaic systems. Readers will gain an intuitive insight into the commercial implementation of nanophotonic components, in both current and potential future devices, as well as challenges facing the field. The fundamentals of semiconductor optics, optical material properties, and light propagation are included, and new and emerging fields such as colloidal photonics, Si-based photonics, nanoplasmonics, and bioinspired photonics are all discussed. This is the 'go-to' guide for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering who are interested in nanophotonics, and students taking nanophotonics courses.

10. Color Science and Photometry for Lighting with LEDs and Semiconductor Nanocrystals
    Series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology
    Subseries: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
    Authors: Talha Erdem and Hilmi Volkan Demir

    [Highlighted in Nature Photonics | VOL 13 | APRIL 2019 | 223]

    
    This book reviews the application of semiconductor nanocrystals also known as colloidal quantum dots (QDs) to LED lighting for indoors and outdoors as well as LED backlighting in displays, summarizing the color science of QDs for lighting and displays and presenting recent developments in QD-integrated LEDs and display research. By employing QDs in color-conversion LEDs, it is possible to simultaneously accomplish successful color rendition of the illuminated objects and a good spectral overlap between the emission spectrum of the light source and the sensitivity of the human eye at a warm white color temperature – something that is fundamentally challenging to achieve with conventional sources, such as incandescent and fluorescent lamps, and phosphor-based LEDs.

12. Understanding and Modeling Förster-type Energy Transfer
    FRET from Single Donor to Single Acceptor and Assemblies of Acceptors, Vol. 2
    Series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology
    Subseries: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
    Authors: Pedro Ludwig Hernández-Martínez, Alexander Govorov, Hilmi Volkan Demir
    This Brief presents a complete study of the generalized theory of Förster-type energy transfer in nanostructures with mixed dimensionality. Here the aim is to obtain a generalized theory of FRET including a comprehensive set of analytical equations for all combinations and configurations of nanostructures and deriving generic expressions for the dimensionality involved. In this brief, the modification of FRET mechanism with respect to the nanostructure serving as the donor vs. the acceptor will be included, focusing on the rate’s distance dependency and the role of the effective dielectric function in FRET, which will be a unique, useful source for those who study and model FRET.

13. Understanding and Modeling Förster-type Energy Transfer
    FRET-Applications, Vol. 3
    Series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology
    Subseries: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
    Authors: Hilmi Volkan Demir, Pedro Ludwig Hernández-Martínez, Alexander Govorov
    This Brief will focus on the functional uses and applications of FRET, starting with the derivation of FRET in the assemblies of nanostructures and subsequently giving application cases for biologists, physicists, chemists, material scientists, engineers, and those in many other fields whoever would like to FRET as a tool. The goal of this part is therefore to show both specialist and non-specialist how to use and analyze FRET in a wide range of applications.

    Series Title: NATO Science for Peace and Security Series B: Physics and Biophysics
    Editors: Di Bartolo, B., Silvestri, L., Cesaria, M., Collins, J.
    Chapter Author: Hilmi Volkan Demir
    This book brings together more closely researchers working in the two fields of quantum optics and nano-optics and provides a general overview of the main topics of interest in applied and fundamental research. The contributions cover, for example, single-photon emitters and emitters of entangled photon pairs based on epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots, nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond as single-photon emitters, coupled quantum bits based on trapped ions, integrated waveguide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, quantum nano-plasmonics, nanosensing, quantum aspects of biophotonics and quantum metamaterials. The articles span the bridge from pedagogical introductions on the fundamental principles to the current state-of-the-art, and are authored by pioneers and leaders in the field. Numerical simulations are presented as a powerful tool to gain insight into the physical behavior of nanophotonic systems and provide a critical complement to experimental investigations and design of devices.
