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 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 ...
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 introduce a novel bottom-up approach to fabricate by self assembly a metamaterial from metallic nanoparticles in a two-step process. In the first step, a metamaterial made of densely packed silver nanoparticles is required. The material dispersion with ...
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 ...
We use the coordinate transformation technique to design metamaterial lenses that can magnify a two-dimensional planar image beyond the diffraction limit. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
This paper will focus on the design, and first measurements of a cascaded in-plane parallel plate snap-in actuator. The actuator is based on a rather simple microfabrication process and can achieve a total displacement of several tenths of microns. Compare ...
