这本书的主题是新出现的研究领域，称为变换电磁学和相关的超材料技术，用于设计和实现可以控制电磁波（包括光）的行为的设备，这些方式在传统上是不可能的。变换电磁学背后的基本原理已经知道了几十年，但直到2006年才正式确定，随后被确立为微波和光学工程师的强大设计工具。结合过去十年来超材料技术的发展，它允许实现具有非均匀和各向异性参数的实际工程材料，变换电磁学为设计师提供了前所未有的灵活性，在设备的形状和功能。这项技术被认为是许多新颖的设备设计，最著名的是隐形斗篷。在这本书中，一个全面的治疗已经从一组领先的学者和研究人员在世界各地的主题，从基本的理论原则，以应用实例实现使用最先进的超材料技术，涵盖了广泛的电磁频谱。变换电磁学已经导致设计，使新的wavematerial相互作用的性质，如隐形斗篷，平面无像差透镜、芯片上的光子集成系统、低轮廓高度定向天线以及许多其他卓越的设备。在理论方面，将解决以下问题：“变换电磁学从何而来？”从不同类别的坐标变换中导出的一般材料属性是什么？设备实现的局限性和挑战是什么？“，以及“有什么理论工具可以使基于坐标变换的设计更适合使用现有技术制造？”全面的理论治疗是由广泛的设计实例，以及实验测量制造的超材料使能变换电磁器件在各种光谱制度的应用范围从无线电频率，通过太赫兹和红外线，可见波长的补充。这些应用包括隐形斗篷、微波和光学领域的梯度折射率透镜、用于亚波长分辨率聚焦的负折射率超透镜、
The subject of this book is the newly emerging area of research known as transformation electromagnetics and the associated metamaterials technology for designing and realizing devices that can control the behavior of electromagnetic waves (including light) in ways that have not been conventionally possible. The fundamental principle behind transformation electromagnetics has been known for decades, but it was only recently formalized in 2006 and subsequently established as a powerful design tool for microwave and optical engineers. Combined with the development over the past decade of the state of the art in metamaterials technology, which allows for realizing practical engineered materials having inhomogeneous and anisotropic parameters, transformation electromagnetics provides designers with an unprecedented flexibility in device shapes and functionality. The technique is credited with numerous novel device designs, most notably invisibility cloaks. In this book, a comprehensive treatment has been compiled from a group of leading scholars and researchers throughout the world on the subject, from the fundamental theoretical principles to application examples realized using the state of the art in metamaterials technology, encompassing a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum.Transformation electromagnetics has led to designs that enable novel wavematerial interaction properties such as invisibility cloaks, flat aberration-free lenses, photonic integrated systems on a chip, low-profile highly directive antennas, and a host of other remarkable devices. On the theoretical side, the following questions will be addressed:‘‘Where does transformation electromagnetics come from?’’,‘‘What are the general material properties derived from different classes of coordinate transformations?’’,‘‘What are the limitations and challenges of device realizations?’’, and ‘‘What theoretical tools are available to make the coordinate transformation-based designs more amenable to fabrication using currently existing technologies?’’The comprehensive theoretical treatment is complemented by a broad range of design examples as well as experimental measurements of fabricated metamaterial-enabled transformation electromagnetics devices in various spectral regimes with applications ranging from radio frequencies, through the terahertz and infrared, to visible wavelengths. The applications encompass invisibility cloaks, gradient-index lenses in the microwave and optical regimes, negative-index superlenses for sub-wavelength resolution focusing, flat lenses that
