Chains of Metamaterials for Guiding and Antenna Applications

Abstract

Final report contains results produced within the effort sponsored by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory with Contract No. FA8718-09-C-0061. Focus was on the most relevant aspects of our findings, which was fully addressed during the effort: guided propagation and leaky-wave radiation along linear arrays of nanoparticles, also considering and modeling the realistic presence of technological disorder, comparison of the guidance properties along linear and planar arrays of nanoparticles and nanovoids in different realistic geometries, guided and leaky modes along parallel arrays of nanoparticles, propagation along periodic arrays of nanoparticles and their rigorous homogenization as metamaterials for a variety of applications of interest to the U.S. Air Force.
