Download or read book Artificial Materials written by Olivier Vanbésien and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-12-17 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses artificial materials including photonic crystals (PC) and metamaterials (MM). The first part is devoted to design concepts: negative permeability and permittivity for negative refraction, periodic structures, transformation optics. The second part concerns PC and MM in stop band regime: from cavities, guides to high impedance surfaces. Abnormal refraction, less than one and negative, in PC and MM are studied in a third part, addressing super-focusing and cloaking. Applications for telecommunications, lasers and imaging systems are also explored.
