Metamaterials Pioneer to Receive IEEE Award

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
George V. Eleftheriades, PhD, will receive the 2008 Kiyo Tomiyasu Award for his research into negative refractive index metamaterials, IEEE announced today. Metamaterials have had a profound impact on a variety of technologies including high-speed digital circuits, medical imaging, radar and wireless telecommunications. Eleftheriades, professor and Canada Research Chair in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Toronto, introduced transmission-line "left-handed" metamaterials, which have unusual properties including a negative index of refraction over wide...Read full article

    microwave
    An electromagnetic wave lying within the region of the frequency spectrum that is between about 1000 MHz (1 GHz) and 100,000 MHz (100 GHz). This is equivalent to the wavelength spectrum that is between one millimeter and one meter, and is also referred to as the infrared and short wave spectrum.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
