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 ...
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 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 ...
We present our recent work on a one-dimensional acoustic negative refractive index metamaterial based on the concept of dual transmission line extensively investigated in microwave engineering. The proposed structure consists of an acoustic waveguide perio ...
The parametric coupling of electromagnetic and mechanical degrees of freedom gives rise to a host of optomechanical phenomena. Examples include quantum-limited displacement measurements, sideband cooling or amplification of mechanical motion. Likewise, thi ...
Metallic nanostructures show interesting optical properties due to their plasmonic resonances, and when arranged in three-dimensional (3D) arrays hold promise for optical metamaterials with negative refractive index. Towards this goal a simple, cheap, and ...
We develop concepts for engineering multi-resonant infrared plasmonic antennas. We utilize these antennas in conjunction with a perfect absorber geometry to simultaneously enhance mid-infrared vibrational resonances separated by 3 mu m in in monolayer poly ...
Cloaking using a volumetric structure composed of stacked two-dimensional transmission-line networks is verified with numerical simulations and measurements. The measurements are done in a waveguide, in which an array of metal cylinders is inserted causing ...
We identify a route towards achieving a negative index of refraction at optical frequencies based on coupling between plasmonic waveguides that support backwards waves. We show how modal symmetry can be exploited in metal-dielectric waveguide pairs to achi ...
