Zusammenfassung

The field of optics and photonics on the nanoscale offers intellectually fascinating questions and potentially interesting applications. However, the theoretical description of nanometric systems is currently limited by the way material properties are considered in optics and photonics. Frequently, these properties are extracted from measurements. Alternatively, phenomenological models are evoked. While sufficient for long time, both approaches are insufficient as the field aims to understand phenomena at the nanoscale. Instead, methods are needed that can accommodate all observable p...
