Control of electromagnetic waves in metamaterials: From microwaves to optics

Over the last decade metamaterials became a paradigm for engineering electromagnetic space and controlling propagation of waves. This rapid progress has shifted the research agenda towards the development of novel metamaterial applications and metadevices [1] with tunable, switchable, and nonlinear functionalities. This talk will review our recent theoretical and experimental progress in the control of electromagnetic waves with metamaterials and plasmonic structures.
