Flexibility in engineering holey structures and controlling the wave guiding properties in
photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) has enabled a wide variety of PCF-based plasmonic …

One of the most important causes of bridge failure is the design and structural deficiencies of
bridge bearings. Recently, typical bridge bearings with the reinforcement of steel or fibre …

We discuss the topics of metamaterials—electromagnetic composites offering simultaneous
control of electric and magnetic fields through structuring on a fine scale compared with the …

The ability to achieve simultaneous control over the various electromagnetic properties of
dielectric waveguides, including mode confinement, polarization, scattering signature, and …

We present a novel method for producing drawn metamaterials containing slotted metallic
cylinder resonators, possessing strong magnetic resonances in the terahertz range. The …

Plasmonic metamaterials are composites containing metal structures imbedded within a
dielectric matrix. Their nanoscale structure gives them optical properties that can be …

We develop a general theoretical approach to describing the interaction of metamaterials
with optical beams. The metamaterials are allowed to be anisotropic, chiral …

In this paper we present a method for the selective blocking and subsequent filling of metals
into photonic crystal fibers. We derive a model which can predict the necessary duration of …

Metallic nanowires (NW) coated with a high permittivity dielectric are proposed as means to
strongly reduce the light scattering of the conducting NW, rendering them transparent at …

An alternative, field-based formulation of transformation optics is proposed. Field
transformations are expressed in the language of boundary conditions for the …
