"Multipole Nonlinearity of Metamaterials"

On the nonlinear optical response of meta-materials evoked by first and second order multipoles. The analytical ground on which the approach bases permits for new insights into the functionality of meta-materials. For the sake of clarity we focus here on the split-ring resonator, although the introduced formalism can be applied to arbitrary structures. We derive the equations that describe linear and nonlinear light propagation where special emphasis is put on second harmonic generation. This contribution basically aims at stretching versatile and exist-ing concepts to describe light propagation in nonlinear media towards the realm of meta-materials.
