"Nanostructures with dimensions in the range of the wavelength of light have gained enormous interest in the past years. This has driven materials research and enabled the development of novel nanostructuring techniques. Applications include ultracompact devices based on total internal reflection (classical integrated optics) as well as on Bragg reflection (photonic crystals). Initially, only dielectric nanostructures had been considered ..."
