Nature Research Highlights: Device bends light from all angles

MATERIALS
Device bends light from all angles

A material can distort the refraction of infrared light from almost any angle, paving the way for new kinds of optical device. Such metamaterials are made up of tiny structures that tune electromagnetic waves in ways that would be impossible in a natural material. But they work only for long wavelengths, or with light coming from certain directions. To create the structure, Takuo Tanaka at the RIKEN Metamaterials Laboratory in Saitama, Japan, and his colleagues first built a flat template out of an etched polymer, silicon and metal strips. When exposed to air, stresses in the strips caused them to curl into three-dimensional rings, a structure that unnaturally bent light coming from almost any angle. The authors say that the approach could eventually be used in devices such as superlenses, which allow scientists to see beyond the limit of conventional lenses.

Uniaxial-isotropic Metamaterials by Three-Dimensional Split-Ring Resonators

A uniaxial-isotropic IR metamaterial consisting of fourfold-symmetric 3D split-ring resonators (SRRs) formed by a metal stress-driven self-folding method is fabricated and characterized. Unambiguous isotropic characteristics are demonstrated for any lateral rotation, polarization, and incident angle up to 40°. The corresponding numerical simulations reveal that the interplay of electric and magnetic interactions of the 3D SRR plays a crucial role in the bi-anisotropic responses.

Spinning CDs to Clean Sewage Water

Audio CDs, all the rage in the '90s, seem increasingly obsolete in a world of MP3 files and iPods, leaving many music lovers with the question of what to do with their extensive compact disk collections. While you could turn your old disks into a work of avant-garde art, researchers in Taiwan have come up with a more practical application: breaking down sewage. The team will present its new wastewater treatment device at the Optical Society's (OSA) Annual Meeting, Frontiers in Optics (FiO) 2013, being held Oct. 6-10 in Orlando, Fla.
