Nonlinear optical effects in artificial materials
arXiv:nlin/0702023 · doi:10.1140/epjst/e2007-00213-9
Abstract
We consider some nonlinear phenomena in metamaterials with negative refractive index properties. Our consideration includes a survey of previously known results as well as identification of the phenomena that are important for applications of this new field. We focus on optical behavior of thin films as well as multi-wave interactions.
