The book describes recent progress of near-field optical science and technology. The title of the book implies capabilities of optical near-field not only for imaging/microscopy but also for fabrication/manipulation/processing in nanometric scale. The authors introduce the differences between near-field optics and far-field optics from both an experimental and theoretical perspective. The book touches on a wide range of topics in near-field optics, and can be used both by the novice and experienced researcher already familiar with the subject, to connect the experimental with the theoretical aspects of near-field optics.

This book focuses on a novel phenomenon named photon breeding. After presenting physical pictures of dressed photons and dressed-photon phonons, the principle of light emission by using dressed-photon phonons is reviewed.

Coauthored by the developer of nanophotonics, this book outlines physically intuitive concepts of the subject using a theoretical framework that differs from conventional wave optics. It presents a theoretical model to describe the interactions among nanometric material systems via optical near-fields.
