Electromagnetic Waves in Nonlinear Metamaterials: Gyrotropic, Plasmonic and Layered Media

The purpose is to give a wide, tutorial-driven, presentation of the theory of wave processes occurring in layered nonlinear metamaterials (MM), gyrotropic and plasma media; to determine the regularities of electromagnetic wave propagation and formation of wave structures; to investigate the new wave structures (solitons etc.) and effects in MM, gyrotropic and plasma media with bulk, surface, resonant, moderate, strong nonlinearities; to study the effective methods of control of wave processes due to the use of inhomogeneous and non-stationary external fields.

This book is aimed at graduates and postgraduates studying physical science and engineering, and can be used for training courses for specialists in meta- and nanophotonics and nanoelectronics.
