Main description:

All-Dielectric Nanophotonics aims to review the underlying principles, advances and future directions of research in the field. Chapters are written by leading scientists in All-Dielectric Nanophotonics and provide a comprehensive theoretical background to all the core concepts.

In particular, the book reviews the progress in all-dielectric metasurfaces and nanoantennas, new types of excitations, such as magnetic and toroidal modes and associated anapole states. Ultrahigh-Q resonant modes such as bound states in the continuum are covered and the promise of replacing conventional bulky optical elements with nanometer-scale structures with enhanced functionality is discussed.

All-Dielectric Nanophotonics is suitable for new entrants to the field as an overview of this research area. Experienced researchers and professionals in the field may also find this book suitable as a reference.
