Executive summary (up to 1 page)

The field of electromagnetic metamaterials is driven by fascinating and far-reaching theoretical visions such as, e.g., perfect lenses, invisibility cloaking, and enhanced nonlinearities. This emerging field has seen spectacular experimental progress in recent years. Yet, two major challenges remained: (i) realizing truly low- loss structures. (ii) Realizing true 3D metamaterial structures that will give negative , n, in different directions. The PHOME project addressed those challenges and created many unique optical metamaterial structures, both planar and 3D, both chiral and non-chiral, bringing optical metamaterials one-step closer to their use in practical applications. Moreover it explored novel properties and possibilities of metamaterials, such as enhanced nonlinearities, repulsive Casimir force, switching possibilities, giant optical activity etc. Regarding the problem of losses, PHOME addressed many possible ways to minimize and overcome losses: These include shape optimization of the structures, evaluation of the performance of different metals, investigation and application of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) ideas, as well as incorporation of active (gain) media into the metamaterial to compensate for the losses. For the study of metamaterials incorporating gain materials we developed a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) scheme, incorporating a set of auxiliary equations (for the description of the gain medium) into the source-free Maxwell equations (describing the field propagation). Using FDTD simulations we studied the compensation of losses in 2D and 3D metamaterials in a self-consistent way. Particular cases treated were a split ring (SRR) array with a gain layer underneath and 3D realistic fishnet structures. Results showed that the magnetic of the 2D split-ring (SRRs) and the fishnet structures can be substantially undamped by the gain material. Hence, the losses of the magnetic susceptibility, μ, are compensated. It was demonstrated also that the gain medium in a metamaterial can give an effective gain much larger than its bulk counterpart, due to the strong local-field enhancement inside the metamaterial designs. Regarding the difficulties in the fabrication of full 3D metamaterials structures, rather than planar metamaterials, the solution that we pursued was the further development of the direct laser writing (DLW) approach (using the concept of stimulated-emission-depletion (STED) known from fluorescence microscopy) and the development of advanced metallization procedures (chemical vapor deposition and electroplating) for the metallization of the DLW-produced structures. Using this approach we fabricated many 3D optical metamaterials, chiral and non-chiral, and we realized and investigated metamaterials that can be used for 3D clocking, employing the carpet-cloaking approach. Moreover we developed helical chiral metamaterials that offer extremely broadband control and have the potential to be used as compact broadband circular polarisers. Besides the DLW approach we also developed further the e-beam lithography approach and we fabricated various planar structures, mainly chiral, demonstrating strong optical activity and giant circular dichroism. Exploring further the novel properties and possibilities of metamaterials, we adapted and applied the transformation approach to nanoscale metallic systems (obtaining various system configurations that resulted to giant field enhancement), we examined the Casimir force between chiral metamaterials (finding possibility for repulsive Casimir force), we demonstrated switchable THz metamaterials employing photo conducting materials, we demonstrated enhanced non-linear properties in metamaterials, like enhanced second harmonic generation, etc.

All these advancements obtained thought PHOME project were widely disseminated, as the project gave 138 publications in refereed journals, more than 200 talks in scientific meetings/conferences, organization of more than 15 conferences on photonic metamaterials or sessions at international conferences, four schools for students, and many appearances in public media (newspapers, radio etc).

A summary description of project context and objectives (not exceeding 4 pages). Complete control of an electromagnetic (EM) wave requires both the ability to directly manipulate its electric and its magnetic vector component. For decades if not centuries, however, this level of control has not been possible because natural materials have essentially zero magnetic response at beyond the regime. Thus, at least one half of optics & has been missing, obviously limiting the opportunities regarding fundamental optical sciences as well as photonic components and devices. This opportunity seems to be available now by using metamaterials. Metamaterials are tailored man-made materials composed of sub- metallic building blocks of proper shapes (“photonic ”) that are densely packed into an effective material. In this fashion, optical properties become possible that simply do not occur in natural substances, and these properties depend mainly on the geometry and shape of the photonic atoms, and can be engineered at the stage of fabrication. A particularly important example of such a photonic is the split-ring resonator (SRR), essentially a tiny electromagnet, which allows for artificial at elevated frequencies, enabling the formerly missing control of the magnetic component of the light wave. The negative magnetic response (i.e., µ<0) above the SRR eigenfrequency combined with a more usual negative electric response from metal wires (i.e., <0) can lead to a negative index of refraction. Following the original theoretical proposal by Pendry et al. in 1999, negative refractive index metamaterials (NIM) have been realized at microwave frequencies in 2000 and have entered the optical regime (few micrometers wavelength to the visible) in 2004. In 2007, negative-index metamaterials finally reached the red end of the visible by using variations of the SRR scheme. In the following, we shall refer to metamaterials that operate at optical frequencies as “photonic metamaterials (PMM)”. The fabrication of their sub-wavelength building blocks requires advanced nanofabrication approaches and poses severe challenges regarding quantitative calculations with predictive power. Although the first negative index optical PMMs were already available when the project started, many serious obstacles had to be overcome before the impressive possibilities of such metamaterials could become real applications. Probably the most serious among them is the question of losses, which needed to be reduced significantly (e.g., by introducing gain media). Furthermore, truly three-dimensional (3D), ideally isotropic PMM rather than just planar monolayer of photonic atoms needed to be addressed. One of the main challenges concerns the fabrication of the 3D nm-scale components required. Addressing the issues of losses and nanofabrication of 3D structures, then a practical material with negative index of refraction at optical frequencies and the associated fascinating long-term dream of the “perfect lens” allowing for sub-wavelength imaging would be within reach. In addition to this ambitious goal, other directions, possibly with more near- term impact on real-world applications were: (a) development of chiral PMM with ultimate target the development of thin-film optical isolators without the need for a static , (b) study and exploitation of optical non-linearities (e.g., second-harmonic generation) and optical switching in PMMs, taking advantage of resonances and large local-field enhancements in such media, and targeting applications such as tuneable filtering, electro-optic modulation etc. It should be clear that addressing these challenges required a creative design process, in which experts from theoretical and experimental as well as electrical engineers collaborate closely. Some of the objectives we had set forth were inherently risky because they transcend the state-of-the-art by a large margin. However, this risk was mitigated by the fact that we had assembled a team with some of the best experts in this field. In what follows we describe the objectives of the proposal, as well the proposed ways/approaches to achieve these objectives. Main objectives of the proposed effort: (a) Design and realization of 3d photonic metamaterials. (b) Design and fabrication of chiral photonic metamaterials. (c) Realization of active optical materials with incorporation of gain and nonlinearity into photonic metamaterials. Understanding and reducing the losses in photonic metamaterials. (d) Achievement of electro-optic modulation via photonic metamaterials , and explore other potential applications of optical metamaterials. Achievement of the above objectives required challenging fabrication processes, as well as challenging theoretical and characterization efforts. For that, the proposed work was divided into three scientific work packages, each of which was managed by a partner, plus a fourth work package (WP4) devoted to dissemination of the project results and a fifth work package (WP5), run by the prime contractor, devoted to the consortium management.

The three scientific work packages are: WP1: Modelling and the theoretical issues in photonic metamaterials (PMM) WP2: Fabrication of photonic metamaterials (GHz to THz) WP3: Optical characterization and testing of PMMs),

Work package 1 (WP1) was devoted to new design concepts and their simulations; these designs should lead, among other goals, to optimized low-loss, broad bandwidth PMMs to be fabricated in WP2 and characterized in WP3. Development of new software and methods to model 3D chiral metamaterials was also part of the WP1 efforts. In addition, development of a self-consistent theory of incorporating gain or nonlinearity in PMMs was among the aims of this WP. Furthermore, blueprints for 3D metamaterials had to be developed that acknowledge the conceptual boundary conditions of the novel corresponding fabrication approaches pursued in WP2. Work package 2 (WP2) was devoted to a systematic study of materials and processing methods to optimize the of micro- and nanofabricated PMMs. This was planned through optimization of the current state of the art approaches, including electron- and focused-ion-beam (FIB) lithography. Furthermore, the exploration of new fabrication approaches for the creation of 3D structures was among the objectives of this WP. Such an approach is the direct laser writing (DLW) approach with subsequent metallization, which is the most promising approach for the fabrication of 3D structures. As PMMs are scaled to higher frequencies, the quality of materials and fabrication becomes of increasing importance. Because PMMs are based on resonant micro and nanostructured conductors, fabrication tolerance and surface quality are crucial. We aimed to perform a careful and exhaustive study of the various figures-of-merit of NIM prototypes as a function of fabrication conditions, including material deposition conditions, annealing and surface smoothness, and quality as characterized by atomic-force microscopy. Correlating NIM performance with the physical characteristics of the underlying “microscopic” structure offers a path to NIM optimization. Work package 3 (WP3) was devoted to the characterization of the metamaterial structures designed by WP1 and fabricated in WP2, and to the demonstration thus of the fascinating optical properties and potential in applications of those structures. The PMM characterization requires innovative approaches regarding the retrieval of optical constants from experimentally accessible parameters. The available techniques (which should be adapted to the study of metamaterials) include THz time-domain , optical transmittance and reflectance spectroscopy, laser based interferometry, near-field optical spectroscopy, as well as nonlinear optical spectroscopy. With the combined efforts of Work packages 1-3, photonic metamaterials aim to make the step from lossy sub-wavelength-thickness films towards truly 3d materials, which is an important step towards many ICT relevant devices and demonstrators, e.g. “poor man’s” optical isolators, optical switching, and electro-optic modulators. Work package 4 (WP4) was devoted to the dissemination of the project results. It coordinated the dissemination of knowledge gained and the scientific and technological results obtained in the work packages WP1-WP3, as well as the actions for the use and exploitation of those results. Work package 5 (WP5) was devoted to the consortium management. The management activities together with the financial issues of the project and coordination of WP1-WP3 were the major tasks of WP5. The above work packages, while having well-defined objectives of their own, were quite interrelated: WP1 defined theoretically desirable parameter sets for the fabrication of PMMs and negative index materials (NIMs) in WP2. The experimental verification of these sample properties, actually achieved during the fabrication of the structures in WP2, belonged to WP3. The knowledge gained during experimental fabrication and characterization of the PMMs and NIMs in WP2 and WP3 guided WP1 towards better designs and allowed for the verification of the numerical tools employed.

A description of the main S&T results/foregrounds (not exceeding 25 pages),

Below we describe the main steps for accomplishing the project objectives and the main achievements of the PHOME project. The description is divided in the results of the different scientific work packages.

WP1: Theory and Simulation of photonic metamaterials (PMMs)

1. We developed a retrieval procedure for chiral metamaterials, to extract the effective parameters (, ε, permeability, μ, chirality, κ, and refractive indices) for structures placed on a substrate, and without substrate. 2. Many different novel chiral metamaterial designs have been devised and tested theoretically, which gave large circular dichroism and strong optical activity in GHz, THz and IR regimes, as well as negative index of refraction in GHz and THz [see Deliverable 3]. 3. We made a thorough analysis of the Casimir force between chiral metamaterials, and we demonstrated for the first time, theoretically and numerically, that the Casimir force between chiral metamaterials can be repulsive if the chirality is sufficiently strong. This can have revolutionary impact in MEM systems. 4. Losses in metamaterials render the applications of such exotic materials less practical unless an efficient way of reducing them is found. We developed two different techniques to reduce ohmic losses at both lower and higher frequencies, based on geometric tailoring of the individual magnetic constituents. We showed that an increased radius of curvature, in general, leads to the least losses in metamaterials. Particularly at higher THz frequencies, bulky structures outperform the planar structures. 5. Working further on the loss issue, we tried to examine the potential of active materials to compensate losses in metamaterials. For that, we have developed a self-consistent method to treat active materials in dispersive media, like quantum dots in metamaterials. [see Deliverable 5]. The method is based on the FDTD technique, where the gain material has been introduced as a four-level system, with rate equations coupled to the standard FDTD equations. The method has been applied so far in 2D and 3D structures, where it demonstrated the potential of the gain material to compensate losses at the magnetic [see Deliverable 8]. The application of the method to a split ring resonator (SRR) array with a gain layer underneath gave results in good agreement with our experiments. Calculations of 3D realistic fishnet structures have been also reported. 6. We have proposed and analyzed new bulk (non-planar) metamaterial designs that possess negative index of refraction at telecom frequencies and are easy to fabricate with direct laser writing, which is the most promising technique for the fabrication of truly 3D large scale optical metamaterials [see Deliverable 3]. 7. We were able to mimic the quantum electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in classical systems as coupled SRRs. We have introduced novel metamaterial designs that can support full dark resonant state upon interaction with an EM beam and we present results of their -dependent effective permeability and permittivity. These results, showing a transparency window with extremely low absorption and strong dispersion, can be used to reduce the losses in metamaterials and also can be used to slow light with many applications, including pulse reshaping. 8. Using , various plasmonic structures have been designed and studied analytically, whereas, until now, only numerical tools were available for the study of such plasmonic structures. These nanostructures exhibit considerable nanofocusing capabilities: our theory predicts a field enhancement that can go beyond a factor of 104 over a broadband spectrum. 9. Novel physical insights have been provided regarding the resonant behavior and the nanofocusing properties that can be expected with dimers. We analyzed 2D wedge-like structures, tapered wave guides, open nanocrescents or overlapping cylinders than can be able to exhibit a singularity, which may give rise to a divergence of the , even in presence of dissipation losses. This singular behavior had not been pointed out in the past and can be of great interest for single detection 10. Based on conformal transformation, a general strategy is proposed to design plasmonic structures capable of an efficient harvesting of light over a broadband spectrum.

WP2: Metamaterial fabrication

1. We have fabricated a bilayered metamaterial based on pairs of mutually twisted planar metal patterns in parallel planes, which showed a negative index of refraction due to three-dimensional chirality as well as exceptionally strong optical activity and circular dichroism [see Deliverable 10]. 2. Following our theoretical suggestions and microwave experiments, we fabricated photonic metamaterials composed of pairs of twisted crosses and 4-U’s structures, using two successive electron-beam- lithography steps and intermediate planarization via a spin-on [see Deliverable 10] 3. We have fabricated a nonlinear photonic metamaterial by adding a nonlinear material (GaAs) to a split- ring-resonator array, and demonstrated its nonlinear response. 4. We have studied arrays of split-ring resonators operating at around 1.5-μm wavelength coupled to an MBE-grown single 12.7-nm thin InGaAs quantum well separated only 4.8 nm from the wafer surface. The samples were held at liquid-helium temperature and were pumped by intense femtosecond optical pulses at 0.81-μm centre wavelength in a pump-probe geometry. We observed much larger relative transmittance changes (up to about 8%) on the split-ring-resonator arrays as compared to the bare quantum well (not more than 1-2%). We also observed a much more rapid temporal decay component of the differential transmittance signal of 15 ps for the case of split-ring resonators coupled to the quantum well compared to the case of the bare quantum well, where we found about 0.7 ns. 5. We have fabricated photonic metamaterials incorporating properly semiconducting photoconductive materials aimed to give dynamic metamaterial response at the THz regime. The achieved structures produced blue-shift tunability, dual-band switch and broadband phase modulation. 6. Direct laser writing (DLW) can be viewed as the three-dimensional analogue of electron-beam lithography. Fabrication of polymer structures by this approach is standard. In fact, we are using a commercial instrument from Nanoscribe GmbH (a collaboration with Carl Zeiss) that has emerged out of previous Karlsruhe work. Recently, we improved the spatial resolution of the DLW in all three dimensions by combining it with the concept of stimulated-emission-depletion (STED) known from fluorescence microscopy. 7. Infilling or coating the polymeric structures produced by the DLW with metal is not standard at all. We have pursued chemical-vapor deposition of silver and silver shadow evaporation, with great success in the fabrication of 2D metamaterial structures. 8. We fabricated for the first time a three-dimensional gold-helix photonic metamaterial - via direct laser writing into a positive-tone photoresist and subsequent infilling with gold via electroplating [see Deliverable 10]. 9. Finally, reaching beyond the original goals of PHOME, first 3D invisibility cloaking structures have been realized – another striking demonstration of the future possibilities of our direct laser writing approach for making 3D metamaterials at optical frequencies.

WP3: Metamaterials characterization

1. We have studied in detail the transmission properties of the bilayered form of chiral metamaterials, like twisted-crosses and 4-U structures, for left-handed (LCP) and right-handed (RCP) circular polarizations. The structures showed exceptionally strong circular dichroism and strong rotation angle. Pure optical activity, i.e., polarization azimuth rotation without any change of ellipticity, was achieved between resonances, where the absolute rotation was about 800° per wavelength (6 GHz) and about 400° per wavelength (105 THz) for 4-U’s and about 60° per wavelength (220 THz) for twisted-crosses. For the GHz and few THz chiral structures negative refractive index was also observed. 2. Characterizing and analyzing split-ring resonator (SRR) structures on crystalline GaAs semiconductor substrates, we found strong coupling between the electromagnetic near-fields of the split rings and the underlying GaAs substrate, resulting in measured second-harmonic generation (SHG) that is about 25 times stronger than that we have previously found for split-ring-resonator arrays on glass substrate. 3. Strong interaction between the SRRs and the underlying semiconductor is also crucial for compensating metamaterial losses by introducing gain. In our corresponding design studies, we have considered SRRs on top of a thin gain layer. Various gain layers were used, i.e., single quantum wells, three quantum wells, layers of quantum dots, or thin bulk films. A dedicated low-temperature femtosecond pump/probe experiment has been assembled. In this setup, pulses centered around 800-nm wavelength derived from a Ti:sapphire laser are used as the optical pump. Average powers around 100 mW focused to spots on the sample with diameters around 20-30 µm enable extremely strong pumping conditions, for which quantum well (QW) gain is expected. Fortunately, under these intense, essentially continuous-wave, pumping conditions, no sample deterioration has been observed. The probe pulses are derived from an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that is tunable at around 1500-nm wavelength. The setup allows for detecting pump-induced changes in transmittance. The samples were cooled in a He-flow cryostat to increase the anticipated material gain. However, under conditions of intense pumping and at low temperatures, we have so far not found any “SPASING” action, which would be a clear-cut proof of complete compensation of metamaterial losses by the gain. 4. THz time-domain spectroscopy of metamaterials incorporating photoconducting media (which were fabricated within the PHOME), using synchronized femtosecond near- laser pulses, revealed blushift tunability of the metamaterials, broadband phase modulation and dual band switching capabilities. 5. Finally, metamaterial-based enhanced transmission through sub-wavelength apertures has also demonstrated.

Potential impact of the project

Electromagnetic waves play a critical role in almost any aspect of our lives. From every-day life-aspects, such as lightning and heating, to communications, imaging and sensing for health-care and biological applications, security etc. All the advances in the above mentioned aspects (like, e.g. mobile communications, MRI Imaging, satellite communications etc.) exploit the interaction of the electromagnetic radiation with the , and the current limitations in the related technologies result to a large extend from limitations in the electromagnetic response of the materials involved. To this end metamaterials, which are structured materials offering electromagnetic properties beyond those of natural materials, promise one step further in almost all the issues and technologies related to the wave-matter interaction. Metamaterial properties like backwards phase advance, and the potential to obtain superlensing, as well as extreme material parameters (e.g. extreme chirality), offer the potential to revolutionize applications such as , imaging and sensing, security and health-care, etc. PHOME project offered great advancement in the current research on metamaterials. It demonstrated the potential to achieve high quality optical metamaterials, reducing losses in such metamaterials, to achieve non-planar three—dimensional metamaterials, to achieve chiral metamaterials offering extraordinary optical activity and circular dichroism, to achieve active metamaterials, metamaterials with enhanced nonlinearities, switcable metamaterials, etc. It also explored and demonstrated novel phenomena and possibilities with metamaterials, like repulsive casimir force and 3D optical cloaking. All these advancements bring metamaterials, especially optical metamaterials, one step closer to their exploitation in practical applications, such as telecommunications and optical communications, imaging and security, sensing, MEMs, etc. with great impact in those applications. For example, even meta-surfaces can approach perfect absorbers, i.e., structures that neither transmit nor reflect light in a certain frequency regime and for a broad range of angles. Such compact perfect absorbers might prove useful for detectors or energy converters. We have explored field-enhancement effects for improving the performance of solar cells. Yet others employ the (sharp) metamaterial resonances for sensing applications via their dependence on environment or investigate nonlinear frequency conversion. The magnetic response is also a prerequisite for huge chiral optical effects in three-dimensional metamaterials, e.g., enabling compact broadband circular polarizers. To achieve the advancements produced by the PHOME project it required the development of both complex analytical and numerical methods as well as fabrication and characterization approaches, which on one hand can be exploited in a variety of other research and technology areas (like, e.g. nanophotonics and plasmonics), and on the other hand contribute to a large extent to the current scientific awareness, as well as to the social awareness. All the knowledge gained throughout the project has been widely disseminated, both in specialized conferences and publications, as well as in events involving less specialized audience and the general public. For example the work of the Karlsruhe group was reported in The New York Times: “Strides in Materials, but No Invisibility Cloak”, November 9th, 2010 and in The International Herald Tribune: “Dreaming Up Uses for a Giant Invisibility Machine”, November 29th, 2010. The work of the FORTH group was reported in many Greek newspapers, like Kathimerini, Eleftherotypia, Enthos and Patris. In another recent instance, Pendry, Imperial College, delivered a series of lectures in Sydney Australia to the Harry Messel School. Exceptionally bright school children from all over the world are invited to Sydney to participate in 2 weeks of science. During their stay they are presented with a book containing write ups of the lectures that they hear, an enduring memento of their experiences. The book of lectures for the 36th Professor Harry Messel International School 2011, “Light and Matter”, is available from their web site at: http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/foundation.old/index_iss.html As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the implementation of PHOME required the development of advanced theoretical and numerical techniques which can be used in other branches of science and technology. For example the application of transformation optics in plasmonics, which was implemented throughout PHOME, can have great impact in nanophotonics and related applications, such as optical circuitry, sensing, energy harvesting and generation systems, absorbers etc. Moreover, the implementation of the FDTD method incorporating active media can find great application in nanophotonics-related studies, such as control and enhancement of light emission and harvesting, impacting optical sources, photovoltaic technologies etc. Regarding fabrication approaches, the realization of the optical metamaterials through PHOME required the optimization and advancement of e-beam lithography, as well as the development and advancement of metallization procedures for metallization of the DLW-produced structures. These techniques can also be used in all nanophotonics-related studies and applications. The maximum possible exploitation of the project results is ensured from the many dissemination activities of the project. PHOME generated 138 publications in scientific journals, while its members gave more than 200 talks and seminars at conferences and institutions. Moreover, PHOME members organized a large number of sessions on photonic metamaterials at international conferences, as well as four schools on this topic [see Deliverable 16]. The project dissemination activities are described in detail in the next section.

4.2 Use and dissemination of foreground

PHOME participants participated in significant meetings and conferences to collaborate and exchange information with other European research groups throughout the course of PHOME project. Furthermore during the project, several PHOME members delivered popular lectures to general audiences, including activities for reaching out to young students, drawing interest to and raising recognition for photonic metamaterial research in general. PHOME participants disseminated results mainly via over 220 presentations/talks/lectures at international conferences and over 130 publications in renowned journals. These publications appeared in top prestige journals. Over the course of PHOME project, our team members published 3 Science, 2 Nature Photonics, 4 Nano Letters, Nature Materials papers, along with numerous PRB and PRL papers. Moreover, among the presentations mentioned above, there is a wide range of plenary and invited talks. Aforementione talks were given at renowned conferences such as 21st Congress of the International Commission for Optics (M. Wegener, Karlsruhe, plenary talk), IEEE-LEOS 2008 (M. Wegener, Karlsruhe, plenary talk), 8th International Conference on “Electrical, Transport and Optical Properties of Inhomogeneous Media” ETOPIM (M. Wegener, Karlsruhe, plenary talk), Photonics Global (J.B. Pendry, Imperial College, plenary talk), PECS VIII (J.B. Pendry, Imperial College, invited talk), Meta’10 2nd International Conference on Metamaterials, Photonic Crystals and Plasmonics (C. M. Soukoulis, FORTH, plenary talk), IEEE Photonics Society Annual Meeting 2009 (E. Ozbay, BILKENT, plenary talk). Besides these dissemination activities, PHOME partners organized four schools for students on photonic metamaterials, three of them in the framework of Metamorphose European Doctoral Programme on Metamaterials (see Deliverable 16). The 17th European Doctoral School, which was organized by FORTH and was devoted to the electromagnetic characterization of metamaterials, including photonic metamaterials, was the first school of the Programme in which students had the chance to perform real experiments and analyze their experimental data. An international symposium, WAVE-PRO, was organized and supported by PHOME at the end of the project, devoted to wave propagation in photonic and electromagnetic crystals, metamaterials and plasmonic materials. In this symposium, which gathered the most prominent in the area of metamaterials worldwide, PHOME project was advertised and its achievements were widely disseminated.

Information about the project objectives and results, related publications of the PHOME team and news about the related conferences, workshops and PhD schools were announced from the PHOME website (http://esperia.iesl.forth.gr/~ppm/PHOME/).

All the above results aim to make a step towards realization of functional optical metamaterials - by reducing losses and advance the fabrication capabilities for the fabrication of the required structures -, as well as to explore further the potential of optical metamaterials and metamaterials in general.

All the results mentioned have been already published in scientific journals and all the knowledge gained is available to the scientific community for further development/improvement, and to the interested enterprises (for results marked with “commercial exploitation”) for evaluation, comparison with current approaches and exploitation, if the foreground will be considered as ready for industrialization. For most of the results we believe that further research is necessary before going to larger-scale use or industrialization. 4.3 Report on societal implications
