About The Author

Lukas Novotny

Lukas Novotny is a Professor of Photonics at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich. From 1999 to 2012 he was a faculty member of the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, where he started one of the first research programs in Nano-Optics. The first edition of ‘Principles of Nano-Optics’ evolved from the lectures he taught at the Institute. Novotny is a Fellow of Optica and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Bert Hecht is a Full Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Würzburg. In his early career he worked in near-field optical microscopy and plasmonics at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory (Rüschlikon). After receiving his Ph.D. in 1996, he joined the Physical Chemistry Laboratory of ETH Zürich, studying the combination of single-molecule spectroscopy with scanning probe techniques. He was awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation research professorship at the University of Basel in 2001 and has been a recipient of DFG Reinhart-Koselleck funding.
