BACKGROUND, PROBLEMS
  • Materials with regularly arranged voids in the
    high-refractive-index matrix are known to stop or
    confine photons (Eli Yablonovitch, Sajeev John).
    Our approach is based on somewhat opposite idea
    of electric or/and magnetic dipoles suspended in
    low refraction-index medium.  As suggested by J.
    Pendry, a pair of antisymmetric coaxial split
    rings (of copper, gold) mimics pure magnetic
    dipole, whereas a post presents an electric
    dipole contributing on the negative refraction of
    the 'left-hand materials', these ideas have
    tremendous impact on the RD activity in US, East
    Asia, and Europe.
  • In order to avoid complications related to the
    double-ring-and-post system, we have examined
    single-split-ring resonators. Owing to the open
    ring and slit, these act both as the electric and
    magnetic dipoles (or multipoles). The size of
    dipoles is small compared to the photon
    wavelength, and, as such, they are conveniently
    modeled in GHz range on single elements, e.g.,
    electrically conductive split rings or ordered
    ring arrays.
  • Forbidden bands for photons have been observed in
    photonic crystals composed of single split rings.
    However, the frequency of split-ring
    microresonators, as well as the stop-band of
    photonic crystals composed thereof are not
    electrically tunable. The tunability problem
    solution requires links to semiconductor,
    photosensitive and magnetic-field-sensitive
    material physics and technology.
  • Sensitive material elements implanted in the
    microresonators would ensure metamaterial
    controllability with the use of external electric
    and magnetic fields, as well as light beams.
    Spatial disorder of the photonic element
    distribution presents an additional set of
    unsolved problems (near- and far-field
    distributions, reflectivity, etc.).

Shape Memory
  • The world first "Shape Memory Textile Centre" is
    funded by the Innovation and Technology Fund
    (ITF), the Hong Kong Government with 8 millions
    under the strong support of leading companies
    including Bondex International Ltd, Hong Kong
    Hi-Tec Enterprises, Lai Tak Holdings Limited and
    TAL Apparel Ltd. Including other sources, the
    centre has secured around 14 millions in
    developing smart textiles, namely, shape memory
    textiles that can recover to their original
    shapes when washed in hot water. The tailor-made
    shape memory polymers can be used for textile
    finishing, fiber and film making, which offer
    great opportunities for smart products and have
    significant impact on the textile/garment and
    other industries.

BENEFITS
Romuald Brazis. Metamaterials for microwave
photonicsPresentation at the COST 288 Zaragoza
Meeting, 15-16 October 2007
  • Metamaterials based on microresonators with
    magnetically, electrically or optically tunable
    elements would be basic for the construction of
    crossroads between optical and microwave (incl.
    THz) information beams.
  • As the microresonators ensure electric field
    amplitude enhancement by many orders of
    magnitude, the potentials of such metamaterials
    include not only passive modulation/demodulation
    but also nonlinear conversion, triggered
    generation, and amplification. 
  • On the other hand, the knowledge of spatial
    disorder effects is beneficial for emerging
    directions of wearable electronics and photonics.

OBJECTIVES, DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTED
SCIENTIFIC IMPACT
Romuald Brazis. Metamaterials for microwave
photonicsPresentation at the COST 288 Zaragoza
Meeting, 15-16 October 2007
  • The joint research and development action needs
    involving experts in
  • Microwave/THz and optical spectroscopy of single
    passive or/and light-emitting elements (rings,
    magnetic and electric dots, fibres) and
    metamaterials composed thereof, including regular
    arrangements and disordered structures
  • Calculation of the near- and far-fields
    surrounding a single photonic element (magnetic
    or electric, or both), and those related to
    ordered arrangements of such elements
  • Theory of electromagnetic wave interaction with
    condensed matter, polaritons and antipolaritons
    in ordered and disordered structures
  • Technology of the light-emitting solid-state
    elements
  • Elaboration of new fibrous materials (including
    nanomaterials) and new fibrous constructions of
    various geometry and required mechanical,
    electrical and magnetic properties and materials
    based on smart (for example shape memory)
    textiles.
  • Split-ring (and similar) microresonators with
    implanted electrically, magnetically and
    optically tunable elements, and metamaterials
    composed thereof are to be manufactured on the
    basis of developed theoretical models and
    numerical simulation. The output of theoretical
    research will be targeted on designing optimum
    metamaterials for the crossroads of existing
    bands of microwave and optical communications.
    Smart textile technology is to be developed for
    the specific requirements of wearing electronics
    and photonics, and human protection against
    undesirable radiation.
  • The network is expected to impact general EU
    capacity building, and specific activities
    requiring interdisciplinary integration
    (nanotechnology, biomedicine, etc.),

ORGANISATION
Romuald Brazis. Metamaterials for microwave
photonicsPresentation at the COST 288 Zaragoza
Meeting, 15-16 October 2007
  • According to the general goal of improving the
    global competitiveness of EU, this direction of
    research and development is to be organized as
    the network involving RD groups from at least
    five EU countries.
  • The delegates of EU-member states (as well as
    COST-member states) participating in MMP research
    network are expected to cluster in task-oriented
    working-groups and round-robin activities.
  • The groups will meet together on managing
    meetings at least once a year for summing up
    progress and refining further goals managing
    meetings and conferences will include invited
    representatives of innovative institutions.
  • Representatives of non-EU-member states are to be
    invited to present their results on such
    meetings.
  • It is supposed that the research will be financed
    by the states participating in the network,
    whereas managing meetings, STSM's, and joint
    reports are to be financed in the framework of
    COST programme.
