Electromagnetic metamaterials, artificial media created by subwavelength structuring, are
useful for engineering electromagnetic space and controlling light propagation. Such …

Manmade media (MMMs) consisting of uniaxial photonic crystals with inserts of layers (films)
or cylinders embedded in a periodic way into a dielectric substrate with dielectric …

Transformation optics (TO) can be used to investigate nontrivial spacetime structures with
inhomogeneous materials. However, the extreme curvature and large refractive indices …

Hyperbolic metamaterials were originally introduced to overcome the diffraction limit of
optical imaging. Soon thereafter it was realized that hyperbolic metamaterials demonstrate a …

Propagation of light in a metamaterial medium which mimics curved spacetime and acts like
a black hole is studied. We show that for a particular type of spacetimes and wave …

In this paper we consider a toy model of large scale universe, when one of the dark
components is a generalized holographic DE with a Nojiri-Odintsov cut-off. On the other …

We have demonstrated that the stimulated emission of surface plasmons propagating on top
of multilayered hyperbolic metamaterials coated with dye-doped polymeric films has a much …

In the past, perfect metamaterial absorbers (PMAs) have required nanolithography
patterning to boost broadband absoprtion. Tapered structures, in particular, are shown to …

As a probe to explore the ability of invisibility cloaks to conceal objects in the quantum
mechanics domain, we study the spontaneous emission rate of an excited two-level atom in …

Realizations of celestial objects in the laboratory have been a tantalizing subject for human
beings over centuries. In this paper, we review some of the interesting cases of realizations …
