This book discusses the recent advances in the area of near-field Raman scattering, mainly focusing on tip-enhanced and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Some of the key features covered here are the optical structuring and manipulations, single molecule sensitivity, analysis of single-walled carbon nanotubes, and analytic applications in chemistry, biology and material sciences. This book also discusses the plasmonic materials for better enhancement, and optical antennas. Further, near-field microscopy based on second harmonic generation is also discussed. Chapters have been written by some of the leading scientists in this field, who present some of their recent work in this field.

?Near-field Raman scattering
?Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
?Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
?Nano-photonics
?Nanoanalysis of Physical, chemical and biological materials beyond the diffraction limits
?Single molecule detection
