Abstract

We present an introduction to metamaterials, some of their optical prop-erties, and examples of their uses. We develop an efficient theory for thecalculation of the macroscopic permittivity of binary systems and systemswith more components, in the non-retarded case and in the general case, andwe present its implementation in a computational package and illustrate itsuse. We discuss some applications regarding the design of optimized nanos-tructured optical devices and we discuss the linear and non-linear properties obtained.
