BD01: Recent Advances in Metamaterials

Tuesday, August 19  09:40-12:00,  Room #19

Session Chair: Christophe Caloz

In the last decade, there has been a renewed interest in using fabricated structures at various length scales to develop composite materials that mimic known material responses or that qualitatively have new, physically realizable response functions that do not occur, or may not be readily available, in nature. Researchers have studied the exotic physics associated with these metamaterials and the potential use of their properties for interesting engineering applications, including lenses, cloaking, antennas, small waveguides and cavities, and other devices at microwave, millimeter-terahertz and optical frequencies.
