Photonic metamaterials are man-made structures composed of tailored micro-or
nanostructured metallodielectric subwavelength building blocks. This deceptively simple yet …

We experimentally demonstrate a perfect plasmonic absorber at λ= 1.6 μm. Its polarization-
independent absorbance is 99% at normal incidence and remains very high over a wide …

Abstract 2D optics is gradually emerging as a frontier in modern optics. Plasmons in
graphene provide a prominent platform for 2D optics in which the light is squeezed into …

A review of nanoplasmonics is given. This includes fundamentals, nanolocalization of
optical energy and hot spots, ultrafast nanoplasmonics and control of the spatiotemporal …

In the past centuries, the scale of engineering optics has evolved toward two opposite
directions: one is represented by giant telescopes with apertures larger than tens of meters …

Metamaterials are artificial media structured on a size scale smaller than the wavelength of
external stimuli. Whereas conventional materials derive their electromagnetic characteristics …

The recently emerged fields of metamaterials and transformation optics promise a family of
exciting applications such as invisibility, optical imaging with deeply subwavelength …

We report on the occurrence of sharp Fano resonances in planar terahertz metamaterials by
introducing a weak asymmetry in a two gap split ring resonator. As the structural symmetry of …

Nanoplasmonics has recently experienced explosive development with many novel ideas
and dramatic achievements in both fundamentals and applications. The spaser has been …
