This book offers a clear and interdisciplinary introduction to the structural and scattering properties of complex photonic media, focusing on deterministic aperiodic structures and their conceptual roots in geometry and number theory. It integrates important results and recent developments into a coherent and physically consistent story, balanced between mathematical designs, scattering and optical theories, and engineering device applications. The book includes discussions of emerging device applications in metamaterials and nano-optics technology. Both academia and industry will find the book of interest as it develops the underlying physical and mathematical background in partnership with engineering applications, providing a perspective on both fundamental optical sciences and photonic device technology. Emphasizing the comprehension of physical concepts and their engineering implications over the more formal developments, this is an essential introduction to the stimulating and fast-growing field of aperiodic optics and complex photonics.

'This book is a modern and comprehensive account of light propagation in aperiodic media. It provides a solid, unified description of the basic theoretical tools and methods, and presents the unique optical properties and applications of aperiodic media, which usually cannot be achieved in traditional periodic and/or random photonic systems. It is an ideal introduction to this interdisciplinary, fascinating research field for graduate students and researchers in physics, electrical engineering, and applied physics.' Felipe Pinheiro, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro
