Overview
This book is a collection of essays to explain complex mediums for optical and electromagnetic applications. The genesis of this book lies in a series of conferences organized at the successive Annual Meetings of SPIE from 1999 to 2002. The scope of Conference 3790, Engineered Nanostructural Thin Films and Materials, was not fully explained by its title. Subsequently, Conference 4097 was entitled Complex Mediums. Further explication being needed, Conference 4467 was named Complex Mediums II: Beyond Linear Isotropic Dielectrics and was followed by Conference 4806 Complex Mediums III: Beyond Linear Isotropic Dielectrics. All four were organized by me, very ably assisted by Werner S. Weiglhofer, Russell F. Messier, Ian J. Hodgkinson, Martin W. McCall, and Graeme Dewar. A multitude of CME researchers participated wholeheartedly.
