The book's authors present a thorough consideration of dielectric resonances in different environments which is needed to design optical and photonic devices. Dielectric metamaterials and photonic crystals are compared, with their effects analyzed. Design approaches and examples of designs for invisibility cloaks based on artificial media are also included. Current challenge of incorporating artificial materials into transformation optics-based and photonics devices are also covered.
- Presents advanced concepts of utilizing artificial materials for optical and photonic device applications
- Includes design approaches of materials for transformation optics, cloaking, applications and examples of these designs
- Compares photonic crystals and metamaterials, their effects, properties and characteristics
