书是很新的，出版至今四个月。
所以对同行同好必定是有所帮助的。

为我的翻译做广告来了
书所牵涉的内容今年四月的科学美国人上介绍过，我也不费唇舌。
英语不好的朋友也能通过我的介绍对该书有了解。
英语好的朋友请多提宝贵意见。

全书翻译进行中。

我预期将作者的自序放在这里——这也是接受了白马西北驰兄弟的建议——见三楼。

由于最近想在这个方向上也搞点东西，所以找了这个来看。
理解必定是浅薄的，所以希望同行多拍砖。呵呵

好！

当年也曾雄心勃勃的要翻译McGraw－Hill的几本专业书，无奈，虚度了青春！！！！！

多谢醉兄支持，但是我这种活动要使得不到导师的支持，估计也干不长久
赫赫
要是真的出版了，估计还找导师写个中文序。
再列上９７３的项目号　。。。。

Preface
自序

Plasmonics forms a major part of the fascinating field of nanophotonics, which explores how electromagnetic fields can be confined over dimensions on the order of or smaller than the wavelength. It is based on interaction processes between electromagnetic radiation and conduction electrons at metallic interfaces or in small metallic nanostructures, leading to an enhanced optical near field of sub-wavelength dimension.
等离激子学构成了迷人的纳米光子学的一个主要部分，用于探讨光如何被限制在光波长或小于光波长量级的尺度。学科基于　电磁辐射与金属界面或者微小金属纳米结构上的传导电子之间的相互作用　所导致的亚波长尺度的近场光学增强效应。

Research in this area demonstrates how a distinct and often unexpected behavior can occur (even with for modern optical studies seemingly uninteresting materials such as metals!) if discontinuities or sub-wavelength structure is imposed. Another beauty of this field is that it is firmly grounded in classical physics, so that a solid background knowledge in electromagnetism at undergraduate level is sufficient to understand main aspects of the topic.
这一领域的研究显示，当引入非连续性与亚波长结构时，将会出现一些独特而未曾预见的性质——即便是对于似乎近代光学研究不感兴趣的材料，譬如金属。这一领域另一美好之处在于，它牢固的建立在经典物理的基础上，从而本科水平的牢固的电磁学知识背景就足以理解这一论题的主要方面。

However, history has shown that despite the fact that the two main ingredients of plasmonics - surface plasmon polaritons and localized surface plasmons - have been clearly described as early as 1900, it is often far from trivial to appreciate the interlinked nature of many of the phenomena and applications of this field. This is compounded by the fact that throughout the 20th century, surface plasmon polaritons have been rediscovered in a variety of different contexts.
然而，历史表明：尽管实际上等离激子学的两个主要构成部分——表面等离激子极化子与局域表面等离激子——已经早在20世纪初就被明晰的阐述，但是对于这一领域的许多现象及应用的内在关联性还远远未能充分的理解。事实是，横贯20世纪，表面等离激子极化子为大量不同文献所二次发现。

The mathematical description of these surface waves was established around the turn of the 20th century in the context of radio waves propagating along the surface of a conductor of finite conductivity [Sommerfeld, 1899, Zenneck, 1907]. In the visible domain, the observation of anomalous intensity drops in spectra produced when visible light reflects at metallic gratings [Wood, 1902] was not connected with the earlier theoretical work until mid-century [Fano, 1941]. Around this time, loss phenomena associated with interactions taking place at metallic surfaces were also recorded via the diffraction of electron beams at thin metallic foils [Ritchie, 1957], which was in the 1960s then linked with the original work on diffraction gratings in the optical domain [Ritchie et al., 1968]. By that time, the excitation of Sommerfeld’s surface waves with visible light using prism coupling had been achieved [Kretschmann and Raether, 1968], and a unified description of all these phenomena in the form of surface plasmon polaritons was established.
这类表面波的数学描述最早在19世纪-20世纪之交 由对于有限电导的导体表面射频波传播的 研究而建立起来[Sommerfeld, 1899, Zenneck, 1907]。在可见光波段，金属光栅的可见光反射谱中光强的反常减弱的光测[Wood, 1902]直到20世纪中期才与理论工作联系起来[Fano, 1941]。大约在这一时期，通过电子束在金属薄膜上的衍射，科研人员将金属表面的相互作用与损耗现象联系了起来[Ritchie, 1957]，之后，这一现象又与光学领域衍射光栅的原始文献关联起来[Ritchie et al., 1968]。就在这之前，可见光波段的索末菲表面波已经可以通过棱镜耦合的方式获得 [Kretschmann and Raether, 1968]，而关于这些现象的一个统一的理论已经在表面等离激子极化子的框架下建立起来。

From then on, research in this field was so firmly grounded in the visible region of the spectrum, that several rediscoveries in the microwave and the terahertz domain took place at the turn of the 21st century, closing the circle with the original work from 100 years earlier. The history of localized surface plasmons in metal nanostructures is less turbulent, with the application of metallic nanoparticles for the staining of glass dating back to Roman times. Here, the clear mathematical foundation was also established around 1900 [Mie, 1908].
从此以后，这一领域的研究坚实的基于可见光波段，一些微波段和T赫兹波段的二次发现发生在上个世纪与这个世纪之交，为100年前的原始文献提供了新的补充。金属纳米结构中的局域表面等离激子的历史则没有这么多纷扰，虽则它的应用历史可以追溯到罗马时期利用金属纳米颗粒为玻璃着色（译者注：参看sciam今年4月份的介绍彩图）；而它的清晰理论描述也在大约1900年时建立起来[Mie, 1908]。

It is with this rich history of the field in mind that this book is written. It is aimed both at students with a basic undergraduate knowledge in electromagnetism or applied optics that want to start exploring the field, and at researchers as a hopefully valuable desk reference. Naturally, this necessitates an extensive reference section. Throughout the book, the original studies described and cited were selected either because they provided to the author’s knowledge the first description of a particular effect or application, or due to their didactic suitability at the point in question. In many cases, it is clear that also different articles could have been chosen, and in some sections of the book only a small number of studies taken from a pool of qualitatively similar work had to be selected.
成书的过程中作者一直牢记这一领域如此丰富的历史。它的读者对象包括具有本科段电磁学基础知识的学生，以及需要一本有用参考的研究人员。自然的，本书必需一个扩展的参考文献章节。本书通篇对于原始文献的描述和引用要么是因为他们提供了对于特定效应和应用的最早描述，要么是因为它非常适合于在当今对该问题的讨论。在许多情况下，明显的有许多文献可以被选择；而在本书的某些环节，仅从必要的角度选取了大量相似著作中的少量研究。

The first part of this text should provide a solid introduction into the field, starting with an elementary description of classic electromagnetism, with particular focus on the description of conductive materials. Subsequent chapters describe both surface plasmon polaritons and localized plasmons in the visible domain, and electromagnetic surface modes at lower frequencies. In the second part, this knowledge is applied to a number of different applications, such as plasmon waveguides, aperture arrays for enhanced light transmission, and various geometries for surface-enhanced sensing. The book closes with a short description of metallic metamaterials.
本书的第一部分为这一领域提供了一个坚实的导引，它以经典电磁学的基本描述打头，突出重点地描述了导体材料。接着的章节描述了可见光波段的表面等离激子极化子和局域等离激子，以及低频段的电磁表面模式。在本书的第二部分，讲述了这些知识在不同领域中的应用，譬如等离激子波导、增强光透射的缝阵列，以及表面增强传感的不同位形（译者注：稍后将回到这里，传感不是我所在的学科组做的工作，这个要等我通读完之后再来确定。有知道的朋友还望赐教）。本书以对金属转型材料的简短描述作为结尾。

I hope this text will serve its purpose and provide a useful tool for both current and future participants in this area, and will strengthen a feeling of community between the different sub-fields. Comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.
我希望本书能够达成它的预期目标，并且成为这一领域的参与者地有用工具，同时期望它能增强各个子领域之间的共同感。感谢来自各方的评论与建议。
