Electromagnetic properties of anisotropic plasmonic metamaterials

Elser, Justin Lee (2008-09-25)

In this dissertation we study the electromagnetic properties of plasmonic metamaterials. We develop an analytical description to solve the fundamental problem of free-space scattering in planar plasmonic systems by utili ...
Subwavelength light confinement and quantum chaos in micro- and nano-structured metamaterials

Govyadinov, Alexander A. (2007-10-11)

This dissertation concerns a broad range of unique phenomena related to the light propagation at nano- and micro-scales. To access the nano-domain, we introduce anisotropy-based waveguides with positive- and negative-ind ...
