    Diffractive Optics and Nanophotonics is devoted to achievements in diffractive optics, focusing on the creation of new nanophotonic components and devices, as well as instrumentation and available information technology. The author describes methods of calculation of diffractive optical elements to solve actual problems of nanophotonics. Coverage includes mathematical methods for calculation of diffraction gratings, calculation of modes of inhomogeneous waveguides, integral methods of calculation of electromagnetic field near the focus, and methods of calculation of diffractive optical elements generating vortex laser beams.

    Introduction.The Fourier modal method and its application in plasmonics and theory of resonant gratings.Photonic-crystal-based components.Tight focusing of light by microoptics components.Focusing of vortex beams and overcoming the diffraction limit.Optical manipulation of micro- and nanoscale objects.
