Dielectric Metamaterials: Fundamentals, Designs, and Applications

by Igal Brener (Editor), Sheng Liu (Editor), Isabelle Staude (Editor), Jason Valentine (Editor), Christopher L. Holloway (Editor)

Overview

Dielectric Metamaterials: Fundamentals, Designs, and Applications links fundamental Mie scattering theory with the latest dielectric metamaterial research, providing a valuable reference for new and experienced researchers in the field. The book begins with a historical, evolving overview of Mie scattering theory. Next, the authors describe how to apply Mie theory to analytically solve the scattering of electromagnetic waves by subwavelength particles. Later chapters focus on Mie resonator-based metamaterials, starting with microwaves where particles are much smaller than the free space wavelengths.

In addition, several chapters focus on wave-front engineering using dielectric metasurfaces and the nonlinear optical effects, spontaneous emission manipulation, active devices, and 3D effective media using dielectric metamaterials.

• Highlights a crucial link in fundamental Mie scattering theory with the latest dielectric metamaterial research spanning materials, design and applications
• Includes coverage of wave-front engineering and 3D metamaterials
• Provides computational codes for calculating and simulating Mie resonances

Editorial Reviews

"This book provides very good technical depth and as such would be useful for someone wanting to learn not only some of the latest research in metamaterials but to gain an understanding of the fundamentals. Undergraduates and graduate students or working professionals studying metamaterials would find this book valuable especially for the extensive reference lists provided at the end of each chjapter. It covers a new topic in electromagnetic technology but since it uses a great deal of electromagnetic theory, the reader would need a firm understanding of Maxwell's equations and electronmagnetic wave propogation in order to fully appreciate this book, however, the many illustration and drawings do greatly help to explain the theory." —IEEE
