In this review, we describe dielectric properties of biological tissues and liquids in the
context of terahertz (THz) biophotonics. We discuss a model of the THz dielectric permittivity …

In this overview paper the trends in the modern literature concerning the characterization of
linear electromagnetic properties of nanostructured metamaterials are briefly discussed …

For classical waves such as light or sound, diffraction sets a natural limit on how finely the
details of an object can be recorded on its image. Recently, various optical superlenses …

The first general textbook to offer a complete overview of metamaterial theory and its
microwave applications Metamaterials with Negative Parameters represents the only unified …

Metamaterials is a young subject born in the 21st century. It is concerned with artificial
materials which can have electrical and magnetic properties difficult or impossible to find in …

The ability to control wave propagation is of fundamental interest in many areas of physics.
Photonic crystals proved very useful for this purpose but, because they are based on Bragg …

Second half of the XX century was marked by a rapid development of sapphire shaped
crystal growth technologies, driven by the demands for fast, low-cost, and technologically …

We develop a homogenization model to characterize textured surfaces formed by a periodic
arrangement of thin metallic pins attached to a conducting ground plane: the ldquoFakir's …

Using conventional materials, the resolution of focusing and imaging devices is limited by
diffraction to about half the wavelength of light, as high spatial frequencies do not propagate …

We show that tapered arrays of thin metallic wires can manipulate electromagnetic fields on
the subwavelength spatial scale. Two types of nanoscale imaging applications using …
