Coupled plasmonic resonators have become the subject of significant research interest in recent years as they provide a route to dramatically enhanced light-matter interactions. Often, the design of these coupled mode systems draws intuition and inspiratio ...
We describe the possibility of drastically boosting the spontaneous emission of a collection of two-level quantum emitters by embedding them in an epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) environment, consisting of a plasmonic waveguide operated at cutoff. This phenomenon ...
Metamaterials today are often realized as complex structured metasurfaces. Their functionality is based on combination of plasmonic resonances in metallic nanostructures and interferences. Novel concepts of bottom up fabrication using liquid crystal self-o ...
We discuss here potential venues for applications and exotic features of quantum metamaterials. We explore the coupling of conventional electromagnetic metamaterials with quantum emitters and the wave properties of quantum metamaterials obtained by tailori ...
In recent years, an increasing number of pioneering studies have been carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials, following the path of electromagnetic metamaterials. These artificial engineered materials are designed in such a way so as to achieve ...
We demonstrate parallel transduction of thermally driven mechanical motion of an array of gold-coated silicon nitride nanomechanical beams, by using near-field confinement in plasmonic metal-insulator metal resonators supported in the gap between the gold ...
Recent theoretical and experimental work has demonstrated that acoustic wave tunneling and energy squeezing can be achieved using density- near-zero (DNZ) metamaterial channels [Fleury et al, J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 132(3), 1956 (2012)]. These channels are di ...
We explore the possibility of strongly influencing the plasmon damping time in nanostructures for efficient second harmonic generation, by taking advantage of the tunability of the narrow linewidth feature in the extinction cross-section exhibited by plasm ...
We present an approach for rational design and optimization of plasmonic arrays for ultrasensitive surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy of specific protein analytes. Motivated by our previous work that demonstrated sub-attomole detecti ...
This paper reviews some of our contributions to reconfigurable metamaterials, where dynamic control is enabled by microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. First, we show reconfigurable composite right-/left-handed transmission lines (CRLH-TLs) hav ...
