Plasmonics / Metamaterials

Invited

Willie J. Padilla (Boston College), Xianliang Liu (Boston College) Since the first experimental demonstration of negative index, research into metamaterials has grown enormously. The ability of metamaterial to achieve nearly any electromagnetic response in nearly any frequency band suggest many exotic applications including invisible cloaks and perfect lenses. One recent field of research...

9. Active Terahertz Metamaterials

Plasmonics / Metamaterials

Invited

Hou-Tong Chen, Abul K. Azad, Ranjan Singh, Matthew T. Reiten, Dibakar Roy Chowdhury, Suchitra Ramani Quanxi Jia, Stuart A. Trugman and Antoinette J. Taylor Los Alamos National Laboratory In recent years terahertz (THz) technology has become an optimistic candidate for numerous sensing, imaging, and diagnostic applications. Yet, THz technology still suffers from a deficiency in sources,...

10. Tunable and Nonlinear Metamaterial Composites

David R. Smith (Duke University)

26/07/2012, 15:00

Plasmonics / Metamaterials

Invited

David R. Smith, Duke University After spending more than a decade showing the promise of artificially structured metamaterials that are mostly passive and linear, the community is now putting forth significant efforts into active, tunable and nonlinear metamaterials. These functional metamaterials connect the electronic and other fundamental properties of a material with the metamaterial...
