Bending Back Light the Science of Negative Index Materials
Bending Back Light The Science of Negative Index Materials Costas M. Soukoulis Using the right type of man-made materials, light can be made to bend, or refract, backwards. After years of painstakingly developing and testing the necessary materials, hen light enters specially engineered materials scientists are now called metamaterials, it takes a sharp turn to the looking to translate W left—a negative turn—bending in the opposite direction of light going through natural materials.

NEMS-Based Infrared Metamaterial Via Tuning Nanocantilevers Within Complementary Split Ring Resonators Qiugu Wang, Depeng Mao, Peng Liu, Thomas Koschny, Costas M
1 NEMS-based Infrared Metamaterial via Tuning Nanocantilevers within Complementary Split Ring Resonators Qiugu Wang, Depeng Mao, Peng Liu, Thomas Koschny, Costas M. Soukoulis, and Liang Dong Abstract— Dynamic control of the electromagnetic properties of metamaterials requires wide modulation bandwidth. Tunable metamaterials with large tunability and fast speed are thus highly desirable. Due to the small dimensions, subwavelength meta- atoms or resonant elements that constitute a metamaterial in the mid-to-near-infrared (IR) wavelength range are often not easy to be tuned at a high rate of several tens of megahertz (MHz). Here, we report on a nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS)- based tunable IR metamaterial realized by unique embedding of nanocantilevers into complementary split ring resonators (c- SRRs) suspended over individual wells. The optical field confined in the air gap of the c-SRR is strongly influenced by electro- statically induced mechanical deflection of the nanocantilever, thus modulating the reflection spectrum of the metamaterial. With the easy-to-implement tunable meta-atom design, the IR metamaterial with 800 nm-long cantilevers provides an ultrahigh mechanical modulation frequency of 32.26 MHz for optical signal modulation at a wavelength of 2.1 µm and is rather easy to manufacture and operate. We envision a compact, efficient, and high-speed electro-optic modulation platform in the IR region using this NEMS tunable metamaterial technology. Fig. 1. Schematic of the NEMS-enabled tunable metamaterial operating in the near-to-mid-IR wavelength region. Index Terms— NEMS, metamaterial, nanocantilever, electro- optic modulation. the complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabri- cation process to enable flexible control with integrated circuits I. -
Negative-Index Materials: New Frontiers in Optics**
REVIEW DOI: 10.1002/adma.200600106 Negative-Index Materials: New Frontiers in Optics** By Costas M. Soukoulis,* Maria Kafesaki, and Eleftherios N. Economou A lot of recent interest has been focused on a new class of materials, the so-called left-handed materials (LHMs) or negative-index materials, which exhibit highly unusual electromagnetic properties and hold prom- ise for new device applications. These materials do not exist in nature and can only be fabricated artificially; for this reason, they are called meta- materials. Their unique properties are not determined by the fundamental physical properties of their constituents, but rather by the shape and distribution of the specific patterns included in them. Metamaterials can be designed to exhibit both electric and magnetic resonances that can be separately tuned to occur in frequency bands from megahertz to terahertz frequencies, and hope- fully to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This article presents a short history of the field, describes the underlying physics, and reviews the experimental and theoretical status of the field at present. Many interesting questions on how to fabricate more isotropic LHMs, on how to push the operational frequency to optical wavelengths, how to reduce the losses, and how to incorporate active or nonlinear materials in LHMs remain to be explored further. – 1.

SPPM2021 Online International Conference
ONLINE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ORGANISERS On behalf of the Organising Committee we take great pleasure in welcoming you for the 1st edition of the “SPPM2021” Online Conference (Spintronics, Photonics, Phononics & Magneto- Optics): June 10, 2021. The SPPM2021 Online conference will present the most recent advances in fundamental research and related applications in Photonics, Phononics, Spintronics or Magneto-Optics. This online event aim is to bring together top researchers and future leaders encouraging interactions between students, young speakers, and senior figures in the field. The topics will cover the experimental and theoretical aspects of light interaction with nanoscale objects and nanostructured materials. SPPM2021 will also explore different cutting edge research topics where phonons play a central role such as quantum photonics, nanoscale thermal transport, topological phononics, nanophononics and optomechanics. We are indebted to IFIMAC/UAM (Spain) for their help and financial support. We also would like to thank all the speakers and participants that join us this year. Hope to see you in-person in Bilbao (Spain) for the 3PM2021 International Conference organised within Imaginenano2021 (www.imaginenano.com/2021/PPM2021.php). rganising ommittee 2021 International Online Conference 2 Organising Committee Antonio Correia (Phantoms Foundation, Spain) - Chairperson Francisco José García Vidal (UAM / IFIMAC, Spain) Alejandro Martinez (Nanophotonics Technology Center, Spain) Lluis F.
