In this paper, a novel design concept for active self-adaptive metamaterial (ASAMM) plates is proposed based on an active self-adaptive (ASA) control strategy guided by the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. The ASAMM plates consist of an elastic base plate and two periodic arrays of piezoelectric patches. The periodic piezoelectric patches place on the bottom plate surface act as sensors, while the other ones attached on the top plate surfaces act as actuators. A simplified plate model is established by the Hamilton principle. By assuming a uniform or constant plate thickness, the plane wave expansion (PWE) method is adopted to calculate the band structures. The finite element method (FEM) using 2D plate and 3D solid elements is also used to calculate the band structures and the transmission spectra or frequency responses. The conventional displacement, velocity and acceleration feedback control methods are introduced and analyzed. Then, a novel ASA control strategy based on combining the displacement and acceleration feedback control methods and guided by the PSO technique is developed. Numerical results will be presented and discussed to show that the proposed ASAMM plates can automatically and intelligently evolve different feedback control schemes to adapt to different stimulations on demand. Compared to the conventional metamaterial (MM) plates, the proposed ASAMM plates exhibit improved and enhanced band-gap characteristics and suppression performance for flexural waves at frequencies outside the band-gaps

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.
Coordinate-transformation-inspired optical devices have been mostly examined in the continuous-wave regime: the performance of an invisibility cloak, which has been demonstrated for monochromatic excitation, %would inevitably is likely to deteriorate
for short pulses. Here we investigate pulse dynamics of flexural waves propagating in transformed plates. We propose a practical realization of a waveshifter and a rotator for flexural waves based on the coordinate transformation method. Time-resolved measurements reveal how the waveshifter deviates a short pulse from its initial trajectory, with no reflection at the bend and no spatial and temporal distortion of the pulse. Extending our strategy to cylindrical coordinates, we design a wave rotator. We demonstrate experimentally how a pulsed plane wave is twisted inside the rotator, while its wavefront is recovered behind the rotator and the pulse shape is preserved, with no extra time delay. We propose the realization of the dynamical mirage effect, where an obstacle appears oriented in a deceptive direction.
CONTEXT.Large field-of-view imaging/polarimetry instruments operating at millimeter and submm wavelengths are fundamental tools to understand the role of magnetic fields (MF) in channeling filament material into prestellar cores providing a unique in
sight in the physics of galactic star-forming regions. Among other topics, at extra-galactic scales, polarization observations of AGNs will allow us to constrain the possible physical conditions of the emitting plasma from the jets and/or exploring the physics of dust inside supernova remnants. The kilo-pixel NIKA2 camera, installed at the IRAM 30-m telescope, represents today one of the best tools available to the astronomers to produce simultaneous intensity/polarimetry maps over large fields at 260 GHz (1.15 mm). AIMS.The polarization measurement, in NIKA and NIKA2, is achieved by rapidly modulating the total incoming polarization. This allows in the end to safely isolate the small science signal from the large, un-polarized and strongly variable, atmospheric background. METHODS.The polarization modulation is achieved by inserting a fast rotating Half-Wave Plate (HWP) in the optical beam. In order to allow wide field-of-view observations, the plate has to be large, with a diameter exceeding 250 mm. The modulation of the polarized signal, at 12 Hz, requires also the waveplate to be sufficiently light. In addition, this key optical element has to exhibit optimal electromagnetic characteristics in terms of transmission and differential phase-shift. For this purpose, three metamaterial HWPs have been developed using the mesh-filter technology. The knowledge acquired in developing the first two single-band HWPs was used to achieve the more challenging performance requirements of the last dual-band HWP. The first and the third waveplates met the requirements for both the NIKA and NIKA2 instruments. RESULTS.(abridged)
As 2D materials with subwavelength structures, elastic metasurfaces show remarkable abilities to manipulate elastic waves at will through artificial boundary conditions. However, the application prospects of current metasurfaces may be restricted by
their phase-only modulating boundaries. Herein, we present the next generation of elastic metasurfaces by additionally incorporating amplitude-shift modulation. A general theory for target wave fields steered by metasurfaces is proposed by modifying the Huygens-Fresnel principle. As examples, two amplitude-shift metasurfaces concerning flexural waves in thin plates are carried out: one is to transform a cylindrical wave into a Gaussian beam by elaborating both amplitude and phase shifts, and the other one is to focus the incidence by amplitude modulations only. These examples coincide well over theoretical calculations, numerical simulations and experimental tests. This work may underlie the design of metasurfaces with complete control over guided elastic waves, and may extend to more sophisticated applications, such as analog signal processing and holographic imaging.
A quantum metamaterial can be implemented as a quantum coherent 1D array of qubits placed in a transmission line. The properties of quantum metamaterials are determined by the local quantum state of the system. Here we show that a spatially-periodic
quantum state of such a system can be realized without direct control of the constituent qubits, by their interaction with the initializing (priming) pulses sent through the system in opposite directions. The properties of the resulting quantum photonic crystal are determined by the choice of the priming pulses. This proposal can be readily generalized to other implementations of quantum metamaterials.
