Metamaterials are fascinating new man-made structures that can manipulate beams of light in surprising ways; eg. metamaterials are being studied as 'cloaking devices' to render objects invisible. Our proposal aims for fundamental studies and improvement of metamaterials operating in the terahertz (T-ray) frequency regime. The outcome will be the exploitation of new metamaterial devices for high performance molecular sensors and electromagnetic filters operating at terahertz frequencies. Socioeconomic benefits to Australia include: (i) increased knowledge-base in metamaterials operating in the terahertz range; (ii) the underpinning of applications in biophotonics and communications; and (iii) commercialisation of novel terahertz devices.

超材料是令人着迷的新型人造结构，可以以令人惊讶的方式操纵光束。例如。超材料正在被研究作为“隐形装置”，使物体变得不可见。我们的提案旨在对太赫兹（T 射线）频率范围内运行的超材料进行基础研究和改进。结果将是开发用于高性能分子传感器和太赫兹频率电磁滤波器的新型超材料器件。澳大利亚的社会经济效益包括：(i) 增加太赫兹范围内超材料的知识基础； (ii) 生物光子学和通信应用的基础； (iii)新型太赫兹设备的商业化。
