Nonlinear Optics of Photonic Crystals and Meta-Materials

This is a brief introduction to the ideas and phenomena that occur in the nonlinear optics of photonic crystals and meta-materials. These are illustrated within the context of simple models that provide an easy understanding of the physical phenomena that are important in these two rapidly developing areas of nano-photonic technology.

An introduction and discussion of some of the basic principles of linear and nonlinear optical nano-systems are given. The focus is on engineered optical syst...
