To my lovely wife Mei-Mei, whose unconditional love and support made this book possible. I even learned to appreciate her constant nagging, which drove me up the wall but helped me finish this project.

I would like to dedicate this book to all my university colleagues, students, Photonics Systems Laboratory staff, my assistant Anne and members of institutions and companies all over the world that allowed us, by contributing to or supporting our microphotonics and nanophotonics activities in research and education, to gather the information that made this book possible.
