Simulating Electromagnetic Metamaterials in COMSOL Multiphysics®
Electromagnetic metamaterials are a growing area of research interest interest due to the unique way they can manipulate light. The structures of metamaterials are formed from tiny repeating structures that are smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves with which they interact. Metamaterials have properties not found in nature, which allows electromagnetic waves to be controlled beyond the limits of natural materials. This enables novel applications such as a negative refraction index, subwavelength imaging, and perfect absorption.
In this archived webinar, get an overview of the capabilities of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for modeling metamaterials, including the features that simplify the representation of these systems. We demonstrate the ability to control boundaries and conditions in periodic structures, material models, conductive geometries, and port data. The webinar concludes with a demonstration of how to simulate a metamaterial in the software using a metasurface beam deflector example.
