Metamaterials, Part 2: Negative-Index, Nonlinear Optics and Super/Hyper-Lenses
Online Presentations | 01 May 2008 | Contributor(s):: Vladimir M. Shalaev
Part 2/3. Metamaterials are expected to open a gateway to unprecedented electromagnetic properties and functionality unattainable from naturally occurring materials, thus enabling a family of new “meta-devices”. In these three lectures, we review this new emerging field and significant progress...

Plasmonic Metamaterials: Unusual Optics and Applications
Online Presentations | 28 Feb 2008 | Contributor(s):: Igor Smolyaninov
Surface plasmon-polaritons (or plasmons) are collective excitations of the conduction electrons and the electromagnetic field on the surface of such good metals as gold and silver. Near the frequency of surface plasmon resonance plasmons may perceive regular dielectrics as negative index...

Routing Light with Nematicons: Light Localization and Steering in Liquid Crystals
Online Presentations | 10 Oct 2007 | Contributor(s):: Gaetano Assanto
Nematic liquid crystals support optical spatial solitons via light-induced molecular reorientation. Such all-optical waveguides can channel a signal towards a destination, hence permitting signal routing. Owing to the inherent anisotropy of nematic liquid crystals, molecular orientation and...
