Coordinate transformation based design of confined metamaterial structures

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

A Systematic Approach to Photonic Crystal Based Metamaterial Design

Photonic crystal design procedure for negative refraction has so far been based on trial and error. In this paper, for the first time, a novel and systematic design procedure based on physical and mathematical properties of photonic crystals is proposed to design crystal equi-frequency contours (EFCs) to produce negative refraction. The EFC design is performed by the help of rectangular stair-c...

3D isotropic metamaterial design using smart transformation optics

We introduce new design method for 3D isotropic transformation optics device using smart transformation optics. In 2 dimension smart transformation optics, elastic deformation satisfied quasi-conformal transformation with negative Poisson’s ratio -1. We extended smart transformation optics to 3 dimension and demonstrated 3D isotropic metamaterials waveguide. This 3D waveguide is arbitrary benda...
