MSE 595 Metasurfaces

Metasurfaces are artificial structures engineered to mimic the effect on waves of 2-dimensional interfaces separating different media. They are designed and constructed to be much thinner that the wavelengths to be processed, so that the structures appear effectively 2-dimensional to the waves. Metasurfaces are generally engineered to feature properties that affect waves in ways not attainable with ordinary interfaces, thus leading to novel phenomena and unprecedented energy transport capabilities. The course covers electromagnetic, optical, acoustic, and thermal metasurfaces, presenting both the state-of-the-art and prospective new developments in various areas of this transformative technology.
