Gain-Driven Discrete Breathers in -Symmetric Nonlinear Metamaterials

N Lazarides, GP Tsironis - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We introduce a one-dimensional parity-time-(PT-) symmetric nonlinear magnetic
metamaterial consisting of split-ring dimers having both gain and loss. When nonlinearity is …

Micromachined tunable metamaterials: a review

AQ Liu, WM Zhu, DP Tsai, NI Zheludev - Journal of Optics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper reviews micromachined tunable metamaterials, whereby the tuning capabilities
are based on the mechanical reconfiguration of the lattice and/or the metamaterial element …

Structural tunability in metamaterials

M Lapine, D Powell, M Gorkunov, I Shadrivov… - Applied Physics …, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
We propose an efficient approach for tuning the transmission characteristics of
metamaterials through a continuous adjustment of the lattice structure and confirm it …
