O autorze

Kazuaki Sakoda completed his BE, ME, and PhD degrees at the University of Tokyo. After working as an Associate Professor at Hokkaido University, he joined the National Institute for Materials Science, Japan. He was the Director of the Quantum Dot Research Center and Photonic Materials Unit, while also serving as a Professor at the Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba. He served as a Program Officer in the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and as a Director in the Physical Society of Japan. He was also the Head Investigator of the research project “Electromagnetic Metamaterials” organized by MEXT, Japan. His main research area is the optical properties of matter. He has been engaged in the theoretical study of photonic crystals and metamaterials for many years, and has published more than 200 research papers and three books, including Optical Properties of Photonic Crystals (Springer, 2004).

Blurb

This book presents novel and fundamental aspects of metamaterials, which have been overlooked in most previous publications, including chirality, non-reciprocity, and the Dirac-cone formation. It also describes the cutting-edge achievements of experimental studies in the last several years: the development of high-regularity metasurfaces in optical frequencies, high-performance components in the terahertz range, and active, chiral, nonlinear and non-reciprocal metamaterials in the microwave range. Presented here are unique features such as tunable metamaterials based on the discharge plasma, selective thermal emission from plasmonic metasurfaces, and the classical analogue of the electromagnetically induced transparency. These most advanced research achievements are explained in understandable terms by experts in each topic. The descriptions with many practical examples facilitate learning, and not only researchers and experts in this field but also graduate students can read the book without difficulty. The reader finds how these new concepts and new developments are being utilized for practical applications.
