Negative Index · Perfect Absorber · Engineered EM Response
Overview
Metamaterial simulation enables the design of artificially structured materials with customised electromagnetic and optical properties — including negative-index media, perfect absorbers, super-lenses, and cloaking structures. Periodic Bloch-Floquet analysis extracts effective medium parameters (ε, μ, n) from unit cell geometry, while fabrication tolerance studies quantify the sensitivity of resonance frequency to manufacturing variation — informing lithography and deposition tolerances for reliable large-area fabrication.

Key Aspects
Designing the resonant element geometry (split-ring resonators, fishnet structures, patches) and extracting effective medium parameters (ε, μ, n) using Bloch-Floquet analysis.
Computing the S21, S11, and absorption spectra of the metamaterial slab — verifying that the designed resonance and absorption band are at the target frequency.
Engineering multi-layer or patterned structures to achieve near-unity absorption at a specific frequency — for selective thermal emitters, sensors, and stealth applications.
Evaluating how manufacturing variation in feature size, layer thickness, and material properties shifts the resonance frequency — informing lithography and deposition tolerances.
