This monograph is a detailed introduction to the nascent and ever-evolving fields of metamaterials and nanophotonics, with key techniques and applications needed for a comprehensive understanding of these fields all detailed. These include the 'standard' and high-accuracy 'nonstandard' FDTD techniques, finite-difference frequency-domain mode solvers, the transfer matrix method, analytic calculations for dielectric and plasmonic waveguides, dispersion, Maxwell-Bloch and density functional theory, as well as design methods for constructing metamaterials and nanolasers, and quantum plasmonics. The book is intended for final-year undergraduates, as well as postgraduates or active researchers who wish to understand and enter these fields in a 'user-friendly' manner, and who have a basic understanding of and familiarity with electromagnetic theory.
Contents:
- Vectorial Field Theory and Modelling of 3D Dielectric Waveguides
- Conventional and Nonstandard Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method
- Light Propagation in Negative-Refractive-Index Metamaterials and Waveguides
- Plasmonic and Metamaterial Waveguides
- Design Methods for Constructing Metamaterials
- 'Trapped Rainbow': Stopping of Light in Metamaterials
- Passive Stopped-Light Waveguides
- Impact of Surface Roughness on Stopped-Light
- Maxwell–Bloch Theory and Gain
- Summary of Surface Plasmons and Active Plasmonics
- Quantum Plasmonics
- Nanolasers
Readership: Graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and active researchers in: nanoscale physics, nanophotonics, optics, condensed matter physics.
Key Features:
- The subjects of metamaterials and nanophotonics are areas of active research
- The book provides a timely update to the topics discussed
- Many topics in the book are unique: high-accuracy numerical modelling techniques, complex-frequency and complex-wavevector modes in dielectric and plasmonic waveguides, finite-difference frequency-domain mode solvers, the impact of surface roughness on the performance of solid-state slow-light schemes, as well as aspects of quantum plasmonics
