چکیده
We review recent progress in optical metamaterials and demonstrate our sample with negative index behavior at the shortest wavelength so far (710 nm). We discuss the impact of fabrication limitations on the performance of metamaterials. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3918) Metamaterials; (160.4236) Nanomaterials; (160.4670) Optical materials.

Ultralow-power and ultrafast all-optical tunable plasmon-induced transparency in metamaterials at optical communication range
Actively all-optical tunable plasmon-induced transparency in metamaterials paves the way for achieving ultrahigh-speed quantum information processing chips. Unfortunately, up to now, very small experimental progress has been made for all-optical tunable plasmon-induced transparency in metamaterials in the visible and near-infrared range because of small third-order optical nonlinearity of conve...
متن کاملChiral metamaterials: enhancement and control of optical activity and circular dichroism
The control of the optical activity and ellipticity of a medium has drawn considerable attention due to the recent developments in metamaterial design techniques and a deeper understanding of the light matter interaction in composite metallic structures. Indeed, recently proposed designs of metaatoms have enabled the realisation of materials with unprecedented chiral optical properties e.g. str...
متن کاملElectrically driven optical metamaterials
The advent of metamaterials more than 15 years ago has offered extraordinary new ways of manipulating electromagnetic waves. Yet, progress in this field has been unequal across the electromagnetic spectrum, especially when it comes to finding applications for such artificial media. Optical metamaterials, in particular, are less compatible with active functionalities than their counterparts deve...
متن کاملScalable variable-index elasto-optic metamaterials for macroscopic optical components and devices
Optical metamaterials with an artificial subwavelength structure offer new approaches to implement advanced optical devices. However, some of the biggest challenges associated with the development of metamaterials in the visible spectrum are the high costs and slow production speeds of the nanofabrication processes. Here, we demonstrate a macroscale (>35 mm) transformation-optics wave bender (2...
