Metamaterials have been in research limelight for the last few years owing to the exotic electromagnetic features these exhibit. With certain combinational forms of the design, these can be of prudent applications in developing antennas, filters, absorbers, sensors, energy harvesters, and many others. As such, the role of engineered mediums remains greatly important as the frequency region of operation determines the structure (of the medium(s)) to be developed – the fact that is exploited in the on-demand kind of tailoring the electromagnetic response of metamaterials. The relevant R&D investigators show keen interest in the fabrication of varieties of novel miniaturized devices that can be of great potentials in many micro- as well as nanotechnology-oriented applications. With this view point in mind, the Book provides the glimpse of phenomenal growth of research in this direction through covering the topics pivoted to fundamental descriptions, and theoretical and experimental results reported by pioneering scientists. It is expected that the book will be of benefit to novice researchers (such as graduate students) and expert scientists in universities and research laboratories. Some of the contents in the book are centered on industrial applications of metamaterials, thereby making the volume useful to the R&D scientists in certain industries. In summary, the book:Provides a glimpse of the recent developments in metamaterial researchIntroduces new metamaterial designs to be used in the microwave and optical regimes Discusses the usefulness of new designs in developing absorbers and/or sensors Explores the platforms for future technology of embedded systems

The proper selection of mediums in designing certain photonic components plays an important role in achieving on-demand electromagnetic behavior that can be exploited for on-demand applications. Configuring the medium itself significantly impacts the electromagnetic features of the design as a whole. Engineered mediums can be conceptualized by the amalgamation of these features as a highly focused area of research and development over the last decade.Metamaterials are also classified as engineered mediums that have multifarious usages in a variety of technological arenas. A few notable examples of such applications would be in sensing, imaging, beam streaming or filtering, thermal switching, wireless power transmission, electromagnetic heating devices, and solar cells. Engineered Mediums: Overview and Applications focuses on the up-to-date research and developments in this field reported by pioneering scientists from different countries. Topics covered in this volume fall under advanced applications of engineered mediums, primarily in view of the photonics lexicon, along with certain fundamental backgrounds of the rapidly emerging topic and research progress—this ensures the book’s importance to research students and faculty members at academic organizations as well as researchers in the industry. In short, the book provides readers with a solid foundation to grasp the rapidly emerging topic and highlights key insights into the current trends and techniques of engineered mediums and their applications in different technological disciplines.
