Content: Over the last few decades, the quantum aspects of light have been explored and major progress has been made in understanding the specific quantum aspects of the interaction between light and matter. The domain of classical optics has recently seen many exciting new developments, especially in the areas of nano-optics, nano-antennas, metamaterials, and optical cloaking. Approaches based on single-molecule detection and plasmonics have provided new avenues for exploring light-matter interaction at the nanometre scale. All these topics have in common a trend to consider and use smaller and smaller objects, down to the micrometre, nanometre, and even atomic range. The summer school held in Les Houches in July 2013 treated all these subjects lying at the frontier between nanophotonics and quantum optics, in a series of lectures given by world experts.

Content: Nanomaterials, with their unique size-dependent physical and chemical properties, have shown promising advantages as drug and gene delivery vehicles, ultra-sensitive intracellular detectors and novel therapeutic drugs. Nanopharmaceutics is one of the disciplines that will benefit the most from this technology. Nanotechnology will have a revolutionary impact on cancer diagnosis and therapy due to the exceptional characteristics of nanopharmaceutics. This book provides an overview of some tools, methods, and materials of nanotechnology that offer potential applications in pharmaceutics, followed by a series of examples showing applications that are already in development. It may very well inspire researchers to develop a new generation of pharmaceutics with inventive non-traditional approach and employ nanoscale science for the benefit of the patient.

Content: This unique book provides an overview of the principle and applications of lasers enriched with numerous illustrations. Being over fifty years old, lasers continue to amaze us. Their performance characteristics are constantly reaching new limits, and the scope of their applications continues to expand. Yet, it took years of effort by teams of physicists to transform the fundamental notions of Einstein into the first experimental beam of laser light. And history is still going on as fundamental research is now triggered by its remarkable properties. This book addresses every aspects of laser li

Content: Plus de cinquante ans après leur invention, les lasers continuent à nous étonner. Leurs performances sont toujours plus extraordinaires et le champ de leurs applications ne cesse de s’étendre. Ils sont omniprésents dans notre vie "idienne pour les lecteurs de CD, de DVD et de codes-barres et comme ingrédients essentiels des autoroutes de l’information. Ils sont devenus irremplaçables dans l’industrie et les hôpitaux. Ils permettent aussi des avancées spectaculaires de la recherche fondamentale : optique quantique, horloges ultra précises, lasers à atomes, tests de la relativité générale. Ce livre préfacé par Charles Townes, prix Nobel et inventeur du laser, a été écrit par les meilleurs spécialistes français du domaine. Après un bref rappel des principes, cet ouvrage offre un panorama des différents types de lasers, des plus petits aux plus puissants. Il effectue un vaste tour d’horizon de leurs applications et donne un aperçu des développements les plus récents. Cette seconde édition a été enrichie et mise à jour afin de couvrir certains aspects les plus récents de l’optique quantique, de la métrologie, et de la physique des atomes froids et des molécules froides. La première édition de ce livre a obtenu le prix Prix Arnulf-Françon 2011 de la Société Française d'Optique. Ce prix récompense la réalisation de supports pédagogiques destinés à l'enseignement de l'Optique dans l'enseignement supérieur.
