The behavior of light in small scale optics or nano/micro optical devices has shown promising results‎,‎ which can be used for basic and applied research‎,‎ especially in nanoelectronics‎.‎ Small Scale Optics presents the use of optical nonlinear behaviors for spins‎,‎ antennae‎,‎ and whispering gallery modes within micro/nano devices and circuits‎,‎ which can be used in many applications‎.‎ This book proposes a new design for a small scale optical device‎-a microring resonator device‎.‎ Most chapters are based on the proposed device‎,‎ which uses a configuration know as a PANDA ring resonator‎.‎ Analytical and numerical methods demonstrate that many applications can be exploited using this device‎,‎ in particular when it is coated with metallic material‎.‎ The book begins with the background and description of the PANDA ring resonator‎.‎ The authors examine optical bistability in microring resonators and test the analytical results with those predicted by the OptiFDTD software package‎.‎ They then describe their new design for a microring resonator device‎,‎ which can be used to generate four forms of light on a chip‎,‎ while also allowing the storing and harvesting of trapped atoms/molecules‎.‎The four behaviors of light‎,‎ for instance‎,‎ fast‎,‎ slow‎,‎ stopping‎,‎ and storing‎,‎ can be manipulated and seen simultaneously by using the PANDA ring planar waveguide‎,‎ which can be fabricated and tested on‎-chip‎.‎ Chapters examine optical spin‎,‎ nano‎-antennas‎,‎ optical mesh networks‎,‎ micro‎-optical gyroscopes‎,‎ and spin transport networks‎.‎ They also address applications for optical devices‎,‎ including molecular motors for drug discovery‎,‎ short pulse lasers for treatment of cancer‎,‎ microsurgery‎,‎ nano‎-antenna use in radiotherapy‎,‎ and neuron cell communications‎.‎ There are many other possibilities of applications for the PANDA ring resonator‎,‎ such as quantum coding‎,‎ optical tweezers‎,‎ and stopping light‎,‎ which will play an important role in future optical devices‎.‎
