Floquet metamaterials

Abstract Recent progress in nanophotonics and material science has inspired a strong interest optically-induced dynamics, opening new research directions the distinct fields of Floquet matter time metamaterials. phenomena are historically rooted condensed community, as they exploit periodic temporal drives to unveil novel phases matter, unavailable systems at equilibrium. In parallel, field metamaterials been offering platform for exotic wave based on tailored materials nanoscale, recently enhanced by incorporating variations switching degrees freedom. this Perspective, we connect these areas describe exciting opportunities emerging from their synergy, hinging giant wave-matter interactions enabled dynamics parametric phenomena. We envision which nontrivial modulation interplay with dispersion properties such anisotropy, non-Hermiticity nonreciprocity, introduce plethora manipulation control.
