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.

超材料是一种令人着迷的新型人造结构，它可以以令人惊讶的方式操纵光束。超材料正被研究为使物体隐形的“隐形装置”。我们的提案旨在对在太赫兹（T射线）频率范围内工作的超材料进行基础研究和改进。其结果将是开发新的超材料设备，用于高性能分子传感器和在太赫兹频率下工作的电磁滤波器。澳大利亚的社会经济效益包括：㈠增加在太赫兹范围内工作的超材料的知识基础; ㈡生物光子学和通信应用的基础; ㈢新型太赫兹器件的商业化。
