Introduction to Nonlinear Optics of Photonic Crystals and Metamaterials, Second Edition presents concise examples illustrating the basic principles of the field, embedding a discussion of current and future device applications in a theoretical account of the non-linear behaviour of light at nanoscale to produce an informative and authoritative introduction to the subject for students trying to advance rapidly amongst the vanguard of modern applied physics and engineering. Pitched at an accessible level, this survey of some of the most important fundamentals of the field is ideal for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as self-taught students looking to expand their field of interest. Key features:

• Provides reference to the current research literature to facilitate the reader with pursuing topics within the field.
• Suitable for self-study students.
• Includes concise presentations which focuses on the essential basic principle of the field.
• Discusses a review of current device applications.
• Presents the principles of photonic crystals and metamaterials and their applications at a basic level.

This book is devoted to some recent and exciting developments in our understanding of photonic crystals and metamaterials. The second edition presents illustrative examples of the basic principles of the field and discusses current and future device applications in a theoretical account of the nonlinear behavior of light at the nanoscale. At the same time, enough mathematical detail and the essential derivations are given in a way that is both comprehensive and easy to follow.
The book is accessible to a large audience, including graduate and undergraduate students. It should be a good starting point for a more detailed study of the rapidly developing literature on this subject. Christian Brosseau. 12 May 2022, Optica
