The Photonic Metamaterials Special Interest Group encompasses a diverse range of topics, devices, and applications centred on the manipulation of light in the visible and infrared at sub-wavelength scales. Applications include optical components, communications, energy harvesting, photocatalysis, imaging and displays, augmented reality, data-storage technologies, metrology, security and sensing devices. Broad functionality is enabled by the diversity in underlying material systems and the technology to fabricate at the nanoscale, including conventional and non-conventional plasmonic metals, dielectrics, phase change or epsilon-near-zero materials, and flexible substrates.
The Group is keen to engage with members from industry and academia interested in collaborating in these areas, and in supporting their development, promotion, and expansion throughout the UK.
Through various engagement events we aim to establish a hub for discussion, networking, showcasing, and skill/capability matching amongst our members.
