Short description:




  • Metamaterials are artificially created engineered structures with electromagnetic properties unattainable in nature that enable a variety of unusual phenomena and applications



  • Photonic metamaterials are becoming a part of advanced graduate courses (on nanophotonics, plasmonics, etc.

Long description:
Filling a real need for a book that can be used both as a textbook as well as a contemporary reference, this monograph is unique in its focus on the basic theory of linear and nonlinear light?matter interactions in metamaterials. As such, it covers various modern approaches to their design and fabrication, as well as a variety of novel applications enabled by these unusual materials.

Written with a broad audience in mind, ranging from graduate students specializing in physics, optics and electrical engineering, to scientists and engineers conducting active research in nanophotonics or developing novel applications of metamaterials.
