The recently proposed concept of metamaterials has opened exciting venues to control wave-matter interactions in unprecedented ways. Here, we demonstrate the relevance of metamaterials for inducing acoustic birefringence, a phenomenon which has already fou ...
Locally-resonant metamaterial crystals are artificial materials built from small spatially-local resonant inclusions arranged periodically at subwavelength scale. Unlike conventional continuous metamaterials, for which spatial dispersion originates mostly ...
Cloaking a source via anomalous localized resonance (ALR) was discovered by Milton and Nicorovici in [15]. A general setting in which cloaking a source via ALR takes place is the setting of doubly complementary media. This was introduced and studied in [20 ...
Initially proposed to achieve strong noise isolation levels beyond the mass-density law, acoustic metamaterials (AMMs) have now overturned the conventional views in all aspects of sound propagation and manipulation. In fact, within the last two decades, th ...
Funneling acoustic waves through largely mismatched channels is of fundamental importance to tailor and transmit sound for a variety of applications. In electromagnetics, zero-permittivity metamaterials have been used to enhance the coupling of energy in a ...
Fano resonances in metamaterials can be explained by the coupling between different modes sustained by the meta-atom. While the associated spectral features are usually quite easy to identify for top-down metamaterials, thanks to the deterministic arrangem ...
Nonlinear processes are important in many fields of photonics ranging from biomedical imaging to ultrashort pulse generation. Progress in nanophotonics and metamaterials has created a growing demand for nanoscale nonlinear optical components. However, it i ...
