Coherent metamaterials from "optical ferromagnetism" to the lasing spaser

We introduce a new class of coherent metamaterials where regular ensembles of meta-molecules show collective, coherent narrow-band response leading to unusual electromagnetic properties and potential applications in the lasing spaser.
