Photonic crystals (PhCs) influence the propagation of light by their periodic variation in
dielectric contrast or refractive index. This review outlines the attractive optical qualities …

In this paper we outline a new direction in the area of photonic crystals (PCs), or photonic
band gap materials, ie one-, two-, or three-dimensional superstructures with periods that are …

Light bends the wrong way in materials where both ε and μ are negative as was pointed out
in 1968, but the absence of natural materials with this property led to neglect of the subject …

The propagation of light in dispersive media is a subject of fundamental as well as practical
importance. In recent years attention has focused in particular on how refractive index can …

We present here the design of nano-inclusions made of properly arranged collections of
plasmonic metallic nano-particles that may exhibit a resonant magnetic dipole collective …

In this paper, for the first time, a new generation of multi-bit graphene-based bias-encoded
metasurfaces (MGBMs) is proposed for real-time reflected wavefront manipulation at …

The light-slowing effect near band endpoints is frequently exploited in photonic crystals to
enhance the optical transmittance. In a one-dimensional binary photonic crystal (1DPC) …

Following our recent theoretical development of the concepts of nanoinductors,
nanocapacitors, and nanoresistors at optical frequencies and the possibility of synthesizing …

Natural materials exhibit negligible magnetism at optical frequencies, since the direct effects
of the optical magnetic field on matter are much weaker than electric ones. In the last …

We present a quantization scheme for the electromagnetic field interacting with atomic
systems in the presence of dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric media, including left …
