Dielectric metasurfaces and their applications for optical biosensing

Yasaman Jahani

Over the past century, our understanding of life has been focused on its most fundamental building blocks: molecules. Biological molecules, such as proteins found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues, are excellent guides to identifying a normal or abno ...

Quadrupolar susceptibility modeling of substrated metasurfaces with application to the generalized Brewster effect

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Ville Tuovi Tiukuvaara

We derive generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs) including dipoles and quadrupoles, using generalized functions (distributions). This derivation verifies that the GSTCs are valid for metasurfaces in non-homogeneous environments, such as for practi ...

Effect of mechanical nonlinearity on the electromagnetic response of a microwave tunable metamaterial

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Bakhtiyar Orazbayev, Rayehe Karimi Mahabadi, Taha Goudarzi

Tunable metamaterials functionalities change in response to external stimuli. Mechanical deformation is known to be an efficient approach to tune the electromagnetic response of a deformable metamaterial. However, in the case of large mechanical deformatio ...
