We present a numerical study on an enhanced periodic auxetic metamaterial. Rotating squares mechanism allied to precompression induced buckling give these elastic structures exotic properties. The static properties of the reference structure and the enhanced ones are first compared. After numerical analysis to ascertain the differences between several band calculation methods, we demonstrate the effect of precompression issued stress field on the dispersion diagram of the metamaterial. An optimization study is then performed to assess the potential vibration isolation improvement obtained with the new design. As a result, the bandgaps widths and range are found to be greatly increased by the geometric modifications proposed.

An intelligent radome utilizing composite metamaterial structures is presented and investigated in this article, which can realize energy isolation and asymmetric propagation of electromagnetic (EM) wave self-adaptively by controlling states of PIN d iodes. The whole structure mainly consists of a broadband polarization-sensitive polarization converter (PC) and an active frequency selective rasorber (AFSR) switching between a transmission mode and absorption mode which is used as an energy-selective surface (ESS). Among them, the function of the PC is to make the EM waves transmit asymmetrically, and the purpose of AFSR is to make the high-power waves be reflected or absorbed, which depends on the polarization type of the wave. Thus, the radome can realize both asymmetric propagations of EM wave and electromagnetic shielding. The equivalent circuit models (ECM) and parametric studies are considered to explain the physical operating mechanism of PC and AFSR. The fabricated structure with 7*7 unit cells is experimentally demonstrated and the measured results agree with simulated results well. Considering the distinctive characteristic of self-actuation, the presented concept has the potential application in electromagnetic stealth and HPEMWs shielding to protect communication devices.
We experimentally demonstrate the active control of a plasmonic metamaterial operating in the quantum regime. A two-dimensional metamaterial consisting of unit cells made from gold nanorods is investigated. Using an external laser we control the temp erature of the metamaterial and carry out quantum process tomography on single-photon polarization-encoded qubits sent through, characterizing the metamaterial as a variable quantum channel. The overall polarization response can be tuned by up to 33% for particular nanorod dimensions. To explain the results, we develop a theoretical model and find that the experimental results match the predicted behavior well. This work goes beyond the use of simple passive quantum plasmonic systems and shows that external control of plasmonic elements enables a flexible device that can be used for quantum state engineering.
Using a network of seismometers and sets of optimal filters, we implemented a feed-forward control technique to minimize the seismic contribution to multiple interferometric degrees of freedom of the LIGO interferometers. The filters are constructed by using the Levinson-Durbin recursion relation to approximate the optimal Wiener filter. By reducing the RMS of the interferometer feedback signals below sim10 Hz, we have improved the stability and duty cycle of the joint network of gravitational wave detectors. By suppressing the large control forces and mirror motions, we have dramatically reduced the rate of non-Gaussian transients in the gravitational wave signal stream.

A vibration isolation system called Type-Bp system used for power recycling mirrors has been developed for KAGRA, the interferometric gravitational-wave observatory in Japan. A suspension of the Type-Bp system passively isolates an optic from seismic vibration using three main pendulum stages equipped with two vertical vibration isolation systems. A compact reaction mass around each of the main stages allows for achieving sufficient damping performance with a simple feedback as well as vibration isolation ratio. Three Type-Bp systems were installed in KAGRA, and were proved to satisfy the requirements on the damping performance, and also on estimated residual displacement of the optics.
The model of ideal fluid flow around a cylindrical obstacle exhibits a long-established physical picture where originally straight streamlines will be deflected over the whole space by the obstacle. As inspired by transformation optics and metamateri als, recent theories have proposed the concept of fluid cloaking able to recover the straight streamlines as if the obstacle does not exist. However, such a cloak, similar to all previous transformation-optics-based devices, relies on complex metamaterials, being difficult to implement. Here we deploy the theory of scattering cancellation and report on the experimental realization of a fluid-flow cloak without metamaterials. This cloak is realized by engineering the geometry of the fluid channel, which effectively cancels the dipole-like scattering of the obstacle. The cloaking effect is demonstrated via direct observation of the recovered straight streamlines in the fluid flow with injected dyes. Our work sheds new light on conventional fluid control and may find applications in microfluidic devices.
