Introduction

This reference informs readers about nanoscale design and synthesis of different nanomaterials. Chapters of the book account for variable nanoarchitecture, while explaining concepts which are central to the field of nanotechnology. It explains how nanodevices and microdevices can be used for nanophotonics, biophotonics and drug delivery applications. Advanced biochemical techniques ranging from fluorescence, plasmonics, enhanced plasmonics (EP) to metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) from colloidal dispersion to single luminescent nanoplatforms and nanospectroscopy, microfluidics, nanofluidics, silica wave-guiding, lasers, nanolasers and photonic circuits for enhanced signal detections are also presented. In addition, proof of concept ideas of microdevices and nanodevices to real applications within other allied disciplines such as genomics, biochemistry, drug delivery and clinical chemistry (based on advanced optical detection and imaging) are highlighted. The book is an informative reference for readers studying biochemistry, pharmacology, biomedical engineering and related subjects at all levels, as well as general readers who want to learn about advanced applications in optics and photonics.

Preface

The aim of this book was to review central concepts of nanoscale by designing and synthesizing different nanomaterials with variable nanoarchitecture, and developing nanodevices and microdevices for nanophotonics, biophotonics and drug delivery applications. Topics ranging from Fluorescence, Plasmonics, Enhanced Plasmonics (EP) to Metal Enhanced Fluorescence (MEF) from colloidal dispersion to single luminescent nanoplatforms and nano-spectroscopy were discussed.

In addition, proof of concepts of microdevices and nanodevices to real applications within genomics, biochemistry, drug delivery and clinical chemistry based on advanced optical detection and imaging were shown, as well as microfluidics, nanofluidics, silica wave-guiding, lasers, nanolasers and photonic circuits for enhanced signal detections.

Latest Nobel-prize awarded developments in Physics and Chemistry on Advanced Laser Instrumentation and applications, Single Molecule detection (SMD) and Biochemistry were also included.
