With the advent of femtosecond lasers in the early 1990s, ultrafast laser processing has
proven to be an imperative tool for micro/nano machining. Two-photon lithography (TPL) is …

In the wake of intense research on metamaterials the two-dimensional analogue, known as
metasurfaces, has attracted progressively increasing attention in recent years due to the …

Metasurfaces composed of planar arrays of subwavelength artificial structures show promise
for extraordinary light manipulation. They have yielded novel ultrathin optical components …

One-dimensional wires are the most common building blocks in metamaterials. In this study,
zero-dimensional nanoparticles connected by tunneling networks were used to construct …

The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
since ancient times. The ruby red of stained glass windows arises from gold nanoparticles …

Photonic metamaterials are man-made structures composed of tailored micro-or
nanostructured metallodielectric subwavelength building blocks. This deceptively simple yet …

Efficient and tunable absorption is essential for a variety of applications, such as designing
controlled-emissivity surfaces for thermophotovoltaic devices, tailoring an infrared spectrum …

We present a new type of dual-band terahertz metamaterial absorber formed by a patterned
metallic strip and a dielectric layer on top of a metallic ground plane. It is found that besides …

In this work, we investigate the response of epsilon-near-zero metamaterials and plasmonic
materials to electromagnetic source excitation. The use of these media for tailoring the …

We provide an overview of the way in which different approaches to nanostructuring metals
can lead to a wealth of interesting optical properties and functionality through manipulation …
