Hyperbolic metamaterials use the concept of controlling the propagative modes through the engineering of the dispersion relation, and are considered highly promising to reach different meta-properties. Spectroscopic Mueller Matrix Ellipsometry with variable angle of incidence and full azimuthal rotation of the sample is a powerful optical technique to characterize both anisotropic and bi-anisotropic materials. We here discuss the experimentally extracted uniaxial and biaxial optical properties of two self-assembled plasmonic systems that appear to have the appropriate meta-dispersion relations. The metasurface was produced by oblique incidence angle ion beam sputtering of glass followed by shadow deposition of Au [1]. The second bulk metamaterial was a block-copolymer based self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterial of nanocomposites based on metal nanoparticles embedded in a self-assembled anisotropic polymer host, presenting a strong spectrally selective optical anisotropy [2]. The extracted effective dielectric functions and the resulting dispersion relations are presented.

A parallel plate plasmonic waveguide is proposed in order to emulate the performance of a permittivity-near-zero metamaterial (ENZ) at optical wavelengths by working near the cut-off of the TE1 mode. It is shown that the ENZ region can be tuned by simply modifying the electrical width of the dielectric spacer of the plasmonic waveguide. Also, a graded index (GRIN) epsilon-near-zero lens working at λ0 = 474.9nm is designed by stacking 51 non-uniform plasmonic parallel plates, demonstrating numerically that this structure may be used to focus optical waves.

It is shown that the dynamic relative permeability in a thin ferromagnetic film with in-plane magnetization in the presence of intrinsic dissipation exhibits negative values for the range of microwave frequencies belonging to those of backward volume spin-wave modes. This is accomplished according to the linearization of the equation of motion in the magnetostatic limit. By studying the coupling of backward volume spin waves with electromagnetic waves in the range of negative permeability the ferromagnetic film can be considered as a magnetic metamaterial.

Extending the `flat optics' paradigm to the nonlinear optics faces important challenges, since, for any practical situation, we are required to simultaneously achieve sub-diffraction phase control and efficient frequency conversion in metasurfaces of sub-wavelength thickness. Here, we experimentally demonstrate giant nonlinear response and continuous phase control of the giant nonlinear response in metasurfaces based on plasmonic nanoresonators coupled to intersubband transitions in semiconductor multi-quantum wells. Over 0.075% of second-harmonic power conversion efficiency is achieved experimentally in a 400-nm-thick metasurface using 10 microns wavelength pump with 20 kW/cm2 intensity.

The Dicke subradiance and superradiance resulting from the interaction between surface plasmons of nanospheres and an ensemble of quantum emitters have been investigated by using a Green's function approach. Based on such an investigation, we propose a scheme for a deterministic multi-qubit quantum phase gate. The case of single sphere has been compared with nanosphere cluster which possesses hot spots. The potential application of present phenomena to the quantum-information processing is anticipated.

This paper presents an ultra-wideband monopole antenna integrated with a new configuration of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure. The operating frequency band of the ultra-wideband antenna is 3.1 GHz-10.6 GHz whereas the dual rejected centre frequencies are 5.2 GHz and 5.8 GHz. These two notched bands are to eliminate interference with wireless local area networks. The new proposed EBG structure is composed of a double inversed U-shape slotted patch and edge-located via. By using this new EBG structure, a high notching selectivity can be achieved for both bands. Compared to conventional mushroom-like EBG structure, the proposed configuration of the EBG structure can reject dual band instead of single band and it is 73 % smaller. The detailed theoretical explanations supported by electromagnetic full-wave simulations and confirmed by experimental measurements are introduced.

We propose a reconfigurable magnonic metamaterial based on an array of dipolarly-coupled magnetic nano-pillars having perpendicular shape anisotropy. The static magnetic ground state of such a metamaterial is antiferromagnetic (AFM), and a linear defect in the form of ferromagnetically (FM) ordered chain of nano-pillars can act as a waveguide supporting a strongly localized spin wave on the linear defect whose frequency is well-separated from the bulk spin wave spectrum of the metamaterial. The phase of this localized SW can be controlled by placing an additional point defect (a pillar with inverted magnetization direction) near the waveguide. In our case the phase shift is close to π radians, which corresponds to the operation of the phase inverter working without an external bias magnetic field. Since the phase shift is achieved by changing the orientation of magnetization of a single pillar, it is possible to dynamically control this phase shift. Also, by changing the orientation of the pillars placed further from the waveguide it is possible to vary the magnitude of the phase shift without significant changes in the spin wave amplitude.

A class of optical nanoantennas utilized as photoinduced magnetic nanoprobes is studied for enhancing magnetic near-field in a magnetic-dominant region with vanishing electric field. We examine the illumination of such magnetic nanoprobes that guarantees selective excitation of magnetic resonances, such as azimuthally electric polarized beams (APBs) which possess a strong longitudinal magnetic field on the beam axis where the electric field is ideally null. Magnetic nanoprobes whose magnetic resonances are selectively excited show a large magnetic near-field enhancement and large magnetic-to-electric-field contrast ratio. Such nanoprobes are the basis for the development of future magnetic-base spectroscopy and macroscopy systems.

The tunable dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystals is used to design a metasurface that acts as a phase-tunable reflector. An equivalent circuit is developed for the metasurface which closely models its simulation performance. The design and fabrication procedure for the metasurface is discussed. An experimental prototype is shown to exhibit 186° of phase swing.
