Lecture 01 - Introduction

This document provides an introduction to the lecture on Nanophotonics. The lecture will cover the interaction of light with matter at the nanoscale, including electromagnetic properties of nanostructures, photonic crystals, metamaterials, plasmonic nano-sensors, and optical detectors at the nanoscale. Students will be evaluated through quizzes, assignments, projects, midterm and final exams. Important textbooks are referenced that provide further information on topics like silicon photonics, metamaterials, plasmonics, and photonic crystals. The applications of nano-photonics will also be discussed.
