This book represents the first comprehensive overview over amorphous nano-optical and
nano-photonic systems. Nanophotonics is a burgeoning branch of optics that enables many
applications by steering the mould of light on length scales smaller than the wavelength with
devoted nanostructures. Amorphous nanophotonics exploits self-organization mechanisms based on
bottom-up approaches to fabricate nanooptical systems. The resulting structures presented in
the book are characterized by a deterministic unit cell with tailored geometries but their
spatial arrangement is not controlled. Instead of periodic the structures appear either
amorphous or random. The aim of this book is to discuss all aspects related to observable
effects in amorphous nanophotonic material and aspects related to their design fabrication
characterization and integration into applications. The book has an interdisciplinary nature
with contributions from scientists in physics chemistry and materials sciences and sheds light
on the topic from many directions.
