Metamaterials are composed of periodic subwavelength metal/dielectric structures that
resonantly couple to the electric and/or magnetic components of the incident …

We review the basic physics and applications of a special class of planar metamaterials,
often called metasurfaces, which are composed of optically thin and densely packed planar …

Optical metasurfaces are thin‐layer subwavelength‐patterned structures that interact
strongly with light. Metasurfaces have become the subject of several rapidly growing areas …

We demonstrate optically thin quarter-wave plates built with metasurfaces that generate high-
quality circularly polarized light over a broad wavelength range for arbitrary orientation of the …

Polarization is one of the basic properties of electromagnetic waves conveying valuable
information in signal transmission and sensitive measurements. Conventional methods for …

Metamaterials open up various exotic means to control electromagnetic waves and among
them polarization manipulations with metamaterials have attracted intense attention. As of …

Conventional optical components rely on the propagation effect to control the phase and
polarization of light beams. One can instead exploit abrupt phase and polarization changes …

We have wrapped metallic cylinders with strongly absorbing metamaterials. These resonant
structures, which are patterned on flexible substrates, smoothly coat the cylinder and give it …

We demonstrate reconfigurable anisotropic metamaterials at terahertz frequencies where
artificial “atoms” reorient within unit cells in response to an external stimulus. This is …

Metamaterials offer exciting opportunities that enable precise control of light propagation, its
intensity and phase by designing an artificial medium of choice. Inducing birefringence via …
