Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook bridges the gap between university courses on electrodynamics and the knowledge needed to successfully address the problem of electrodynamics of metamaterials. It appeals to both experimentalists and theoreticians who are interested in the physical basics of metamaterials and plasmonics. Focusing on qualitative fundamental treatment as opposed to quantitative numerical treatment, it covers the phenomena of artificial magnetization at high frequencies, and discusses homogenization procedures and the basics of quantum dynamics in detail. By considering different phenomena it creates a self-consistent qualitative picture to explain most observable phenomena. This allows readers to develop a better understanding of the concepts, and helps to create a conceptual approach, which is especially important in educational contexts. This clearly written book includes problems and solutions for each chapter, which can be used for seminars and homework, as well as qualitative models that are helpful to students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical information processing of the future is associated with a new generation of compact nanoscale optical devices operating entirely with light. Moreover, adaptive features such as self-guiding, reconfiguration and switching become more and more important. Nonlinear devices offer an enormous potential for these applications. Consequently, innovative concepts for all-optical communication and information technologies based on nonlinear effects in photonic-crystal physics and nanoscale devices as metamaterials are of high interest. This book focuses on nonlinear optical phenomena in periodic media, such as photonic crystals, optically-induced, adaptive lattices, atomic lattices or metamaterials. The main purpose is to describe and overview new physical phenomena that result from the interplay between nonlinearities and structural periodicities and is a guide to actual and future developments for the expert reader in optical information processing, as well as in the physics of cold atoms in optical lattices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyperbolic metamaterials were originally introduced to overcome the diffraction limit of optical imaging. Soon thereafter it was realized that hyperbolic metamaterials demonstrate a number of novel phenomena resulting from the broadband singular behavior of their density of photonic states. These novel phenomena and applications include super resolution imaging, new stealth technologies, enhanced quantum-electrodynamic effects, thermal hyperconductivity, superconductivity, and interesting gravitation theory analogs. Here I review typical material systems, which exhibit hyperbolic behavior and outline important new applications of hyperbolic metamaterials, such as imaging experiments with plasmonic hyperbolic metamaterials and novel VCSEL geometries, in which the Bragg mirrors may be engineered in such a way that they exhibit hyperbolic properties in the long wavelength infrared range, so that they may be used to efficiently remove excess heat from the laser cavity. I will also discuss potential applications of self-assembled photonic hypercrystals. This system bypasses 3D nanofabrication issues, which typically limit hyperbolic metamaterial applications. Photonic hypercrystals combine the most interesting features of hyperbolic metamaterials and photonic crystals.

This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical metamaterials are an exciting new field in optical science. A rapidly developing class of these metamaterials are those that allow the manipulation of volume and surface electromagnetic waves in desirable ways by suitably structuring the surfaces they interact with. They have applications in a variety of fields, such as materials science, photovoltaic technology, imaging and lensing, beam shaping and lasing. Describing techniques and applications, this book is ideal for researchers and professionals working in metamaterials and plasmonics, as well as those just entering this exciting new field. It surveys different types of structured surfaces, their design and fabrication, their unusual optical properties, recent experimental observations and their applications. Each chapter is written by an expert in that area, giving the reader an up-to-date overview of the subject. Both the experimental and theoretical aspects of each topic are presented.

Book excerpt: Learn about the revolutionary new technology of negative-refractionmetamaterials Negative-Refraction Metamaterials: Fundamental Principles andApplications introduces artificial materials that support theunusual electromagnetic property of negative refraction. Readerswill discover several classes of negative-refraction materialsalong with their exciting, groundbreaking applications, such aslenses and antennas, imaging with super-resolution, microwavedevices, dispersion-compensating interconnects, radar, anddefense. The book begins with a chapter describing the fundamentals ofisotropic metamaterials in which a negative index of refraction isdefined. In the following chapters, the text builds on thefundamentals by describing a range of useful microwave devices andantennas. Next, a broad spectrum of exciting new research andemerging applications is examined, including: * Theory and experiments behind a super-resolving,negative-refractive-index transmission-line lens * 3-D transmission-line metamaterials with a negative refractiveindex * Numerical simulation studies of negative refraction of Gaussianbeams and associated focusing phenomena * Unique advantages and theory of shaped lenses made ofnegative-refractive-index metamaterials * A new type of transmission-line metamaterial that is anisotropicand supports the formation of sharp steerable beams (resonancecones) * Implementations of negative-refraction metamaterials at opticalfrequencies * Unusual propagation phenomena in metallic waveguides partiallyfilled with negative-refractive-index metamaterials * Metamaterials in which the refractive index and the underlyinggroup velocity are both negative This work brings together the best minds in this cutting-edgefield. It is fascinating reading for scientists, engineers, andgraduate-level students in physics, chemistry, materials science,photonics, and electrical engineering.

Book excerpt: Complex-mediums electromagnetics (CME) describes the study of electromagnetic fields in materials with complicated response properties. This truly multidisciplinary field commands the attentions of scientists from physics and optics to electrical and electronic engineering, from chemistry to materials science, to applied mathematics, biophysics, and nanotechnology. This book is a collection of essays to explain complex mediums for optical and electromagnetic applications. All contributors were requested to write with two aims: first, to educate; second, to provide a state-of-the-art review of a particular subtopic. The vast scope of CME exemplified by the actual materials covered in the essays should provide a plethora of opportunities to the novice and the initiated alike.
