Periodic nanostructures in photonics facilitate a far-reaching control of light propagation and
light–matter interaction. This article reviews the current status of this subject, including both …

A scaling theory of local field fluctuations and optical nonlinearities is developed for random
metal-dielectric composites near a percolation threshold. The theory predicts that in the …

A zero-refractive-index metamaterial is one in which waves do not experience any spatial
phase change, and such a peculiar material has many interesting wave-manipulating …

The main purpose of this chapter is to give a derivation, which is mathematically precise,
physically natural, and conceptually simple, of the quasilinear system of partial differential …

This book presents important recent developments in mathematical and computational
methods used in impedance imaging and the theory of composite materials. By augmenting …

Since the advent of quantum mechanics and the clear demonstration of the existence
of'matter waves', physicists have never failed to take advantage of concepts and theoretical …

Local electromagnetic field fluctuations and related enhancement of nonlinear phenomena
in metal-dielectric composites near the percolation threshold (percolation composites) have …

Transfer-matrix methods adopting a plane-wave basis have been routinely used to calculate
the scattering of electromagnetic waves by general multilayer gratings and photonic crystal …

Photonic technology promises much faster computing, massive parallel processing, and an
evolutionary step in the digital age. The search continues for devices that will enable this …

This book aims to provide expert guidance to researchers experienced in classical
technology, as well as to those new to the field. A variety of perspectives on Photonic Crystal …
