Structured Surfaces as Optical Metamaterials

Alexei A. Maradudin is a Research Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, the University of California, Irvine. His research interests have included lattice dynamics of perfect and imperfect crystals; surface excitations on perfect and imperfect elastic, dielectric and magnetic media; and the scattering of light from elementary excitations in solids.

"This book brings together a number of experts from the United States and Europe who have contributed to both theoretical and experimental studies of a range of interesting phenomena including extraordinary transmission through subwavelength apertures and negative refraction in both periodically corrugated surfaces and plasmonic structures. The book is very well produced and includes several striking color illustrations." K. Alan Shore, Bangor University School of Electronic Engineering, Wales, United Kingdom, Optics & Photonics News
