Manipulating electromagnetic waves with metamaterials：Concept and microwave realizations

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/4/047808

Abstract Our recent efforts in manipulating electromagnetic (EM) waves using metamaterials (MTMs) are reviewed with emphasis on 1) manipulating wave polarization and transporting properties using homogeneous MTMs, 2) manipulating surface-wave properties using plasmonic MTMs, and 3) bridging propagating and surface waves using inhomogeneous meta-surfaces. For all these topics, we first illustrate the physical concepts and then present several typical practical realizations and applications in the microwave regime.

Keywords: metamaterials inhomogeneous meta-surface polarization control light-matter interaction
