Summary
Plasmonics and metamaterials have received an increasing amount of interest because of the possibility of confining and controlling light. By utilizing plasmonic effects and metamaterials, researchers in academia and industry have been able to manipulate light by concentrating it in desired regions, controlling its propagation in confined regions, and redirecting it in anomalous ways. Due to the extremely short length scales involved, this work heavily relies on numerical simulation to design devices and properly understand their behavior. Applications include the routing of optical signals, negative-index of refraction, frequency-dependent manipulation, and imaging below the distraction limit. In this webinar we will cover the basics of plasmonics and metamaterials and demonstrate that they can be simulated using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.
