The unprecedented ability of nanometallic (that is, plasmonic) structures to concentrate light
into deep-subwavelength volumes has propelled their use in a vast array of nanophotonics …

Underpinned by the advent of metamaterials, transformation optics offers great versatility for
controlling electromagnetic waves to create materials with specially designed properties …

Optical Metamaterials begins with a brief introduction stuffed with ample references; the
remaining chapters extensively cover selected topics: optical properties of metal–dielectric …

In this review, we give a brief introduction to the application of the new technique of
transformation acoustics, which draws on a correspondence between coordinate …

Invariant transformation for quantum mechanical systems is proposed. A cloaking of matter
wave can be realized at given energy by designing the potential and effective mass of the …

Plasmonic cloaking is a scattering-cancellation technique based on the local negative
polarizability of metamaterials. Here we report its first experimental realization and …

Invisibility and negative refraction are both applications of transformation optics where the
material of a device performs a coordinate transformation for electromagnetic fields. The …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the geometry of light and the concepts of
transformation optics. Transformation optics is beginning to transform optics. The chapter …

Localization of optical excitations within subwavelength areas of a random metal-dielectric
film is observed using near-field scanning optical microscopy. This effect is attributed to …

Theoretical and semiempirical studies of two-dimensional (2D) metal nanoparticle arrays
under periodic boundary conditions yield quantitative estimates of their electromagnetic …
