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 to up-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 very timely book
for both newcomers and advanced researchers in this extremely rapid
evolving field.
