This Colloquium presents an overview of the research on nonlinear electromagnetic
metamaterials. The developed theoretical approaches and experimental designs are …

When we form a structure of plasmas distributed in a certain space in which electromagnetic
waves propagate, such a plasma structure serves as a different medium from a …

A status report on optical negative-index-metamaterial fabrication is given. The advantages,
drawbacks and challenges of different fabrication techniques including electron-beam …

During retrovirus maturation, cleavage of the precursor structural Gag polyprotein by the
viral protease induces architectural rearrangement of the virus particle from an immature into …

From science fiction to science laboratories Discover the State of the Art in Photonic
Metamaterials Metamaterials—composite media with unusual optical properties—have …

We propose a modified Kretschmann-Raether configuration to realize the low threshold
optical bistable devices at the terahertz frequencies. The metal layer is replaced by the …

We analyze the properties of a nonlinear metamaterial formed by integrating nonlinear
components or materials into the capacitive regions of metamaterial elements. A …

Abstract Families of coupled solitons of PT PT-symmetric physical models with gain and loss
in fractional dimension and in settings with and without cross-interactions modulation (CIM) …

In this work, we explore the intriguing phenomena of bistability and multistability in a cavity
comprising two coupled quantum wells via electron tunneling. The cavity is driven by …

We have investigated modulation instability (MI) in metamaterials (MM) with both cubic and
quintic nonlinearities, based on a model appropriate for pulse propagation in MM with cubic …
