Periodic nanostructures in photonics facilitate a far-reaching control of light propagation and
light–matter interaction. This article reviews the current status of this subject, including both …

A lot of recent interest has been focused on a new class of materials, the so‐called left‐
handed materials (LHMs) or negative‐index materials, which exhibit highly unusual …

This textbook offers the first unified treatment of wave propagation in electronic and
electromagnetic systems and introduces readers to the essentials of the transfer matrix …

Ever since the first experimental demonstration was reported in 2000, the interest in
metamaterials and left-handed media that exhibit a negative refractive index has increased …

Optical birefringence and dichroism are classical and important effects originating from two
independent polarizations of optical waves in anisotropic crystals. Furthermore, the distinct …

We design three-dimensional (3D) metallic nanowire media with different structures and
numerically demonstrate that they can be homogeneous effective indefinite anisotropic …

We design, simulate, and experimentally characterize a reconfigurable elastic metamaterial
with beyond-nearest-neighbor (BNN) coupling. The structure is composed from the popular …

The anomalous diffraction effects arising in the intrinsically isotropic photonic crystal gratings
with different periods of the front-side and back-side interfaces are studied with the …

We show that optical beams propagating in path-averaged zero-index photonic crystal
superlattices can have zero phase delay. The nanofabricated superlattices consist of …

We report on a phononic crystal (PC) consisting of a square array of cylindrical
polyvinylchloride inclusions in air that exhibits positive, negative, or zero refraction …
