Title: Dispersion Engineering of Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons

Abstract:
Spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPP) are lower-frequency analogue of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) at optical frequencies, with similar physical properties to the latter. SSPP exhibits rich dispersion properties, which can be tailored for engineering applications, including achromatic lens, polarization converter, wideband absorber, novel antenna and others. In this presentation, recent progresses of our group on dispersion engineering of SSPP are reviewed and some application examples are given.
