Strong Light-Matter Interactions in Extreme Plasmonic and Mie-Resonant Systems

Collective excitations in matter, either in the form of plasmons in metals or Mie resonances in high-index dielectrics, constitute fundamental building blocks for photonic applications, including optical and quantum communications, biosensing, and polaritonic chemistry. Motivated by these prospects, this book explores excitations sustained in metallic and dielectric nanocavities and their interaction with light, quantum emitters, and swift electrons.
The book presents analytic methods for d...
