Plasmonics is a research area merging the fields of optics and nanoelectronics by confining
light with relatively large free‐space wavelength to the nanometer scale‐thereby enabling a …

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

We present the design for an absorbing metamaterial (MM) with near unity absorbance A
(ω). Our structure consists of two MM resonators that couple separately to electric and …

Spherical silicon nanoparticles with sizes of a few hundreds of nanometers represent a
unique optical system. According to theoretical predictions based on Mie theory they can …

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 …

The imaging resolution of conventional lenses is limited by diffraction. Artificially engineered
metamaterials now offer the possibility of building a superlens that overcomes this limit. We …

A new type of cloak is discussed: one that gives all cloaked objects the appearance of a flat
conducting sheet. It has the advantage that none of the parameters of the cloak is singular …

We present a metamaterial that acts as a strongly resonant absorber at terahertz
frequencies. Our design consists of a bilayer unit cell which allows for maximization of the …

A form of optical circuitry is overviewed in which a tapestry of subwavelength nanometer-
scale metamaterial structures and nanoparticles may provide a mechanism for tailoring …

Increasing attention on metamaterials has been paid due to their exciting physical behaviors
and potential applications. While most of such artificial material structures developed so far …
