Microphotonics in Biology, Materials Engineering and Information Technology is a focused review of the synergism between recent advances in biology, information technology, and materials engineering, and of the role that microphotonics has played in this development. The scale of the microphotonic interactions considered ranges from atomic dimensions to the mesoscopic and microscopic regimes. The book addresses an audience of professionals having expertise in one, but not all areas of science and engineering covered in the book. One of the objectives of the book is to help such readers to adjust to today's continually expanding demands for multidisciplinary research and to overcome barriers to collaborations that can be traced back to differences in discipline-specific language and culture. This book provides an overview of the materials chemistry and engineering basis of microphotonics. It aims at providing professionals with essential information from this rapidly evolving area of multidisciplinary research.
