Synopsis
Invited lectures and contributed talks from a June 2002 workshop examine theory and applications in the field, with emphasis on emerging areas such as random laser, left-handed materials, photonic materials, and optics with cold atoms, and on applications such as remote sensing, imaging, optics of liquid crystals, and seismology. Papers are in sections on waves in complex media, mesoscopic physics and localization, acoustic time reversal, waves in metamaterials, radiative transfer, optics of soft condensed matter, wave scattering in natural media, and communication in a disordered world. Specific subjects include light scattering in a disperse layer, 3D phononic crystals, and negative index complex metamaterials. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
