Infos

This is a brief introduction to the ideas and phenomena that occur in the nonlinear optics of photonic crystals and metamaterials. 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.
