This book merges theoretical and experimental works initiated in 1997 from consideration of
periodical artificial dielectric structures comprising magneto-optical materials. Modern
advances in magnetophotonics are discussed giving theoretical analyses and demonstrations of
the consequences of light interaction with non-reciprocal media of various designs. This first
collection of foundational works is devoted to light-to-artificial magnetic matter phenomena
and related applications. The subject covers the physical background and the continuing
research in the field of magnetophotonics.
