ECE 695s Lecture 10: Surface Plasmon Excitation

&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the &lt;strong&gt;ECE 695S&lt;/strong&gt; lectures&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The course will cover nanoscale processes and devices and their applications for 
manipulating light on the nanoscale.  The following topics will be covered:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fundamentals, Maxwell’s equations, light-matter interaction, dispersion, EM properties 
of nanostructures, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Photonic crystals&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Photonic crystal fibers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Photonic nanocircuits&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Metal optics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manipulating light with plasmonic nanostructures&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Plasmonic nano-sensors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Near-field optics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Metamaterials, negative refractive index and super-resolution&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
