Vladimir Shalaev: The Exciting Science of Light with Metamaterials
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 28 Αυγ 2012
Plenary presentation from SPIE Optics + Photonics 2012 - http://spie.org/op
Recent
progress in the development of optical metamaterials allows
unprecedented control over the flow of light at both the nano- and
macroscopic scales.
Metamaterials (MMs) are rationally designed
artificial materials with versatile properties that can be tailored to
fit almost any practical need and thus go well beyond what can be
obtained with "natural" materials. We review the exciting field of
optical metamaterials and discuss the recent progress in developing
tunable and active MMs, nanolasers, artificial optical magnetism,
semiconductor-based and loss-free negative-index MMs, and a new means
for engineering the photonic density of states with MMs. A powerful
paradigm of shaping space for light with transformation optics, which
can enable a family of new applications ranging from a flat magnifying
hyperlens to an invisibility cloak, will be also discussed. Finally, we
review a new approach for broadband light bending by using
meta-interfaces with plasmonic nanoantennas. The challenges and future
directions for the field will be outlined.
Vladimir (Vlad) M.
Shalaev, Scientific Director for Nanophotonics in the Birck
Nanotechnology Center and Distinguished Professor of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at Purdue University, specializes in nanophotonics,
plasmonics, and optical metamaterials. He is a Fellow of SPIE, OSA,
APS, and IEEE. He is the author of three books, 21 book chapters and
over 300 research publications.
