Boston Chapter of the IEEE Photonics Society

Abstract:  Metamaterials are expected to open a gateway to unprecedented electromagnetic properties and functionality unattainable from naturally occurring materials. We review this new emerging field and recent progress in demonstrating metamaterials in the optical range.
