Product Description
The industrial demand for smaller structures required for the manufacture of quantum devices and high density recording media have resulted in the need for fabrication technology at the nanometer scale. It is shown in this text that laser/microstructure interaction can break the diffraction limit, creating nanoscale surface modifications in both localized and parallel fashions. Two fundamental problems required for predictive optical nanolithography are addressed here: the electrodynamic response of laser energy in the vicinity of micro/nanostructures, and the resulting energy transport through a target material. Three-dimensional electromagnetic fields are resolved in the near-field of irradiated microstructures using advanced numerical techniques. Energy transport through the substrate is subsequently modeled using conventional conduction formulae and ultrafast electron density evolution. The combined electrodynamic/heat transfer solutions generate final lithographic predictions which are referenced to experiment. This work then investigates the interaction between lasers and optically dispersive nanostructures for photonic and plasmonic applications. |

A Plasmonic Masterpiece by A. M. Griffin (New York, NY)  5 Stars
July 09, 2009
Rare in the field of plasmonics has a text so richly re-defined Laser/Microstructure Interaction. This text is to Laser/Microstructure Interaction and Ultrafast Heat Transfer what Sour Cream and Chives are to Mashed Potatoes. The text is to Optical Nanolithography and Plasmonics what barbecue sauce is to hamhocks.
Dr. Heltzel's use of simple language to tell the story of Laser/Microstructure Interaction and Ultrafast Heat Transfer is downright Dickensian.
Talent like Dr. Heltzel's comes along once in a generation and I hesitate not for one moment when I confidently say Dr. Heltzel is the Lebron James of Laser/Microstructure Interaction and Ultrafast Heat Transfer. I've reconsidered my concept of God, and it just might be Dr. Alexander J. Heltzel.

*THE* Definitive Resource on Optical Nanolithography and Plasmonics by R. K. Wicker (Santa Monica, CA) 5 Stars
July 02, 2009
I was fortunate enough to study alongside Dr. Heltzel for four years. I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most brilliant minds in his field. I was thrilled to see that he had published a book of his research, and it definitely did not disappoint.
Students of laser energy and members of the scientific research community alike will find value in this comprehensive text.
