Metasurfaces and Metamaterials
We have introduced the concept of
nonperiodic metamaterials and
metasurfaces with controlled variations
along an axis of choice, providing new
degrees of freedom for light manipulation at
the nanoscale.
Cloaking and Invisibility
One of the most exciting applications of metamaterials:
our group has pioneered the
use of plasmonic and mantle
cloaks for drastic scattering
suppression of radio-waves,
infrared, matter, sound and light waves.
Plenary talk at SPIE Optics & Photonics (2016)
Metamaterial Devices and Components
Our group has proposed several exciting
concepts to apply metamaterials and
plasmonics for novel devices to manipulate,
process and tailor radio-waves, THz,
infrared, optical and sound signals.
Optical Nanoantennas and Nanocircuits
We have put forward several innovative
concepts to tailor emission, radiation,
scattering, absorption and optical signal
processing at the nanoscale, inspired to
established concepts of RF antennas and
circuits. Our MURI effort on this topic.
