Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended resources for students interested in metamaterial research, particularly in the context of nano-optics and microfabrication. A first-year college student is seeking guidance on foundational knowledge and literature, specifically mentioning the book "Optics" by Hetcht. The student is encouraged to utilize Google for additional resources, which leads to a search for textbooks on metamaterials and microfabrication techniques.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of nano-optics principles
  • Familiarity with microfabrication techniques
  • Knowledge of metamaterials and their applications
  • Research skills for sourcing academic literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "Optics" by Hetcht for foundational knowledge in optics
  • Explore textbooks specifically focused on metamaterials
  • Research microfabrication methods used in nano-optics
  • Investigate current trends and advancements in metamaterial applications
USEFUL FOR

First-year college students, graduate students in nano-optics, researchers in metamaterials, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of microfabrication techniques.

I'm a first year student in college and I've started shadowing under a grad student, who's in a nano-optics research group (http://www.nanoscience.ucf.edu/chanda/), in order to learn about microfabrication. I'd like to start conducting my own research soon; however, i don't know exactly what it is I'd need to know to start. I was planning on reading Optics by Hetcht, beyond that I don't know.
