Optical metamaterials: fundamentals and applications

Metamaterials—artificially structured materials with engineered electromagnetic properties—have enabled unprecedented flexibility in manipulating electromagnetic waves and producing new functionalities. This book details recent advances in the study of optical metamaterials, ranging from fundamental aspects toup-to-date implementations, in one unified treatment. Important recent developments and applications such as superlens and cloaking devices are also treated in detail and made understandable. The planned monograph can serve as a verytimely book for both newcomers and advanced researchers in this extremely rapid evolving field. Gives a short and snappy entry into the field of optical metamaterials Focuses on the basics which makes it an efficient tutorial Presents an easy-to-understand summary of recent applications in full color Written by the pioneers of the field INDICE: Preface.- Introduction.- Optical Properties of Metal-Dielectric Composites.- Experimental Techniques and Data Treatment.- Electric Metamaterials.- Magnetic Metamaterials.- Negative-Index Metamaterials.- Nonlinear Optics with Metamaterials.- Super Resolution with Meta-Lenses.- Transformation Optics and Electromagnetic Cloak of Invisibility.- References.- Index.
