Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

In this chapter, the basic principles of electromagnetic metamaterials, plasmonics and transformation optics are introduced. The properties of 3D and 2D (plasmonic) hyperbolic metamaterials are briefly reviewed, which will be used in the following chapters. It is shown how electromagnetic metamaterials may be used to engineer unusual ‘optical spaces’. A particular example of electromagnetic invisibility cloak will be considered in some detail.
