“…Although the best known prediction of this theory is an attractive force between two parallel conducting plates [14], the possibility of repulsive Casimir forces [16] has arisen with the consideration of left-handed media (LHM). Furthermore, with regard to the study of spontaneous processes, LHM offer novel opportunities in the tailoring of spontaneous emission by atoms [17,18] as well as phase matching in nonlinear optical processes [19][20][21]. In the absence of such materials in nature, LHM are realised through artificial MM's consisting of structures engineered, for optical wavelengths, on the nanoscale [22].…”

We present a canonical quantization of macroscopic electrodynamics. The results apply to inhomogeneous media with a broad class of linear magneto-electric responses which are consistent with the Kramers-Kronig and Onsager relations. Through its ability to accommodate strong dispersion and loss, our theory provides a rigorous foundation for the study of quantum optical processes in structures incorporating metamaterials, provided these may be modeled as magneto-electric media. Previous canonical treatments of dielectric and magneto-dielectric media have expressed the electromagnetic field operators in either a Green function or mode expansion representation. Here we present our results in the mode expansion picture with a view to applications in guided wave and cavity quantum optics.

“…Usually, refractive index is negative only within a certain wavelength band and remains ordinary, posi tive, beyond the NI frequency domain. Such a property leads to extraordinary features in second (SHG) and third harmonic generation [1][2][3][4][5](and references therein). Here, we report un usual dependence of pulse shape and overall efficiency of SHG on the ratio of input fundamental pulse length and metamaterial slab thickness.…”

Extraordinary properties of short-pulse second harmonic generation in a frequency double-domain positive/negative index meta material are investigated and shown to appear in striking contrasts with those of their counterparts in ordinary materials. A metamaterial made of carbon nanotubes is proposed which supports coexistence of ordinary fundamental and backward second harmonic electromagnetic waves. Unparallel properties of frequency doubling nonlinear-optical metamirror are predicted.

“…Nanostructured metamaterials are expected to play a key role in the development of a new family of photonic devices with unparallel properties. Unlike ordinary, positiveindex (PI) materials, the energy flow and wave vector (phase velocity) are counter-directed in NIMs, which determines their extraordinary linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties (see, e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] and references therein). Significant progress has been achieved recently in the design of bulk, multilayered, negative-index, plasmonic slabs.…”

Extraordinary properties of coherent nonlinearoptical coupling of ordinary and backward electromagnetic waves in negative-index metamaterials are reviewed such as second harmonic generation, frequency-mixing and optical parametric amplification. Striking contrast with the properties of the counterparts in ordinary materials is shown. The possibilities for compensating strong losses inherent to plasmonic metamaterials, which present major obstacle for their numerous exciting applications, and possibilities for creation of unique ultracompact photonic devices such as data processing chips and sensor are proposed. Similar three-wave mixing processes in crystals based on optical phonons with negative dispersion are discussed.
