By using an elegant response function theory, which does not require matching of the messy boundary conditions, we investigate the surface plasmon excitations in the multicoaxial cylindrical cables made up of negative-index metamaterials. The multicoaxial cables with {em dispersive} metamaterial components exhibit rather richer (and complex) plasmon spectrum with each interface supporting two modes: one TM and the other TE for (the integer order of the Bessel function) $m e 0$. The cables with {em nondispersive} metamaterial components bear a different tale: they do not support simultaneously both TM and TE modes over the whole range of propagation vector. The computed local and total density of states enable us to substantiate spatial positions of the modes in the spectrum. Such quasi-one dimensional systems as studied here should prove to be the milestones of the emerging optoelectronics and telecommunications systems.

Thanks to Victor Veselago for his hypothesis of negative index of refraction, metamaterials -- engineered composites -- can be designed to have properties difficult or impossible to find in nature: they can have both electrical permitivity ($epsilon$
) and magnetic permeability ($mu$) simultaneously negative. The metamaterials -- henceforth negative-index materials (NIMs) -- owe their properties to subwavelength structure rather than to their chemical composition. The tailored electromagnetic response of the NIMs has had a dramatic impact on the classical optics: they are becoming known to have changed many basic notions related with the electromagnetism. The present article is focused on gathering and reviewing the fundamental characteristics of plasmon propagation in the coaxial cables fabricated of the right-handed medium (RHM) [with $epsilon>0$, $mu>0$] and the left-handed medium (LHM) [with $epsilon<0$, $mu<0$] in alternate shells starting from the innermost cable. Such structures as conceived here may pave the way to some interesting effects in relation to, e.g., the optical science exploiting the cylindrical symmetry of the coaxial waveguides that make it possible to perform all major functions of an optical fiber communication system in which the light is born, manipulated, and transmitted without ever leaving the fiber environment, with precise control over the polarization rotation and pulse broadening. The review also covers briefly the nomenclature, classification, potential applications, and the limitations (related, e.g., to the inherent losses) of the NIMs and their impact on the classical electrodynamics, in general, and in designing the cloaking devices, in particular. Recent surge in efforts on invisibility and the cloaking devices seems to have spoiled the researchers worldwide:
We demonstrate numerically and experimentally a conjugated gammadion chiral metamaterial that uniaxially exhibits huge optical activity and circular dichroism, and gives a negative refractive index. This chiral design provides smaller unit cell size
and larger chirality compared with other published planar designs. Experiments are performed at GHz frequencies (around 6GHz) and in good agreement with the numerical simulations.
Aiming at the promising superlensing for the medical ultrasonic and detection, the double-negative metamaterials which possess the negative mass density and elastic modulus simultaneously can be acted as the ideal superlens for breaking the diffracti
on limit. In this paper, we use topology optimization to design the two-dimensional single-phase anisotropic elastic metamaterials with broadband double-negative indices and numerically demonstrate the superlensing at the deep-subwavelength scale. We also discuss the impact of several parameters adopted in the objective function and constraints on the optimized results. Unlike all previous reported mechanisms, our optimized structures exhibit the new quadrupolar or multipolar resonances for the negative mass density, negative longitudinal and shear moduli. In addition, we observe the negative refraction of transverse waves in a single-phase material. Most structures can serve as the anisotropic zero-index metamaterials for the longitudinal or transverse wave at a certain frequency. The cloaking effect is demonstrated for both the longitudinal and transverse waves. Moreover, with the particular constraints in optimization, we design a super-anisotropic metamaterial exhibiting the double-negative and hyperbolic dispersions along two principal directions, respectively. Our optimization work provides a robust computational approach to negative index engineering in elastic metamaterials and guides design of other kinds of metamaterials, including the electromagnetic and acoustic metamaterials. The unusual properties of our optimized structures are likely to inspire new ideas and novel applications including the low-frequency vibration attenuation, flat lens and ultrasonography for elastic waves in the future.
Metamaterials are patterned metallic structures which permit access to a novel electromagnetic response, negative index of refraction, impossible to achieve with naturally occurring materials. Using the Babinet principle, the complementary split ring
resonator (SRR) is etched in a metallic plate to provide negative epsilon, with perpendicular direction. Here we propose a new design, etched in a metallic plate to provide negative magnetic permeability mu, with perpendicular direction. The combined electromagnetic response of this planar metamaterial, where the negative mu comes from the aperture and the negative epsilon from the remainder of the continuous metallic plate, allows achievement of a double negative index metamaterial (NIM) with only one metasurface and strong transmission. These designs can be used to fabricate NIMs at microwave and optical wavelengths and three-dimensional metamaterials.
We report on the theoretical investigation of the plasmonic wave propagation in the coaxial cylindrical cables fabricated of both right-handed medium (RHM) [with $epsilon >0$, $mu >0$] and left-handed medium (LHM) [with $epsilon(omega) <0$, $mu(omega
) <0$], using a Green-function (or response function) theory in the absence of an applied magnetic field. The Green-function theory generalized to be applicable to such quasi-one dimensional systems enables us to derive explicit expressions for the corresponding response functions (associated with the EM fields), which can in turn be used to derive various physical properties of the system. The confined plasmonic wave excitations in such multi-interface structures are characterized by the electromagnetic fields that are localized at and decay exponentially away from the interfaces. A rigorous analytical diagnosis of the general results in diverse situations leads us to reproduce exactly the previously well-known results in other geometries, obtained within the different theoretical frameworks. As an application, we present several illustrative examples on the dispersion characteristics of the confined (and extended) plasmonic waves in single- and double-interface structures made up of dispersive metamaterials interlaced with conventional dielectrics. These dispersive modes are also substantiated through the computation of local as well as total density of states. It is observed that the dispersive components enable the system to support the simultaneous existence of s- and p-polarization modes in the system. Such effects as this one are solely attributed to the negative-index metamaterials and are otherwise impossible...
