The book presents several physical effects and properties of materials used in lasers and electro-optics, applications of lasers and electro-optics in three different areas are presented.

Rapid advances in chemical synthesis and fabrication techniques have led to novel nano-sized materials that exhibit original and often unforeseen properties. One of the greatest advantages of these nano-systems is that their electronic and optical properties can be controlled, not only by the material's inherent features, but also by the sample's size, shape, and topology. This flexibility makes them ideal for applications in several fields, ranging from electronics and optoelectronics to biology and medicine.
