Research project

Understanding the Remarkable Optical Properties of Nanostructured Twisted Planar Meta-Materials

Project overview

We propose what is essentially a collaborative project between the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ and Kharkov groups in the burgeoning filed of optical meta-materials, where added value will be achieved by combining the expertise of the two groups.In this project we envisage that the needs of the experimental research programme in ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓÆµ will provide the drive for theoretical work and numerical modelling within the project, and this in turn will generate ideas for more experiments.In our research programme we will deploy a number of numerical and analytical techniques and will concentrate on the following research directions:Optimizing planar chiral polarization phenomena in metallic nanoastructures Study of the role of plasmon effectsDevelopment of loss-less planar chiral structures Development of practical nonreciprocal devices Understanding the relation between geometrical and optical properties of planar chiral structures Study of polarization manipulation in the near-field
