Nonlinear Optics with Backward Waves: Extraordinary Features, Materials and Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

Extraordinary properties of nonlinear-optical propagation processes are investigated that involve electromagnetic or elastic waves with negative group velocity. Nanostructured materials that support such waves and prospective unique photonic devices are described.
