ABSTRACT
Within the last decades the electrodynamics of inhomogeneous media has experienced rapid development. Advances in experimental and applied electrodynamics are connected with the rising potential of modern fabrication techniques, allowing creation of tiny structures with characteristic lengths (periodicity) comparable or even smaller than the wavelength of light. And development of theory is caused by translation (or “mapping”) of wave phenomena from quantum theory of solids into electrodynamics. This mapping led
