Description
Summary:In recent years a wide interest has been spurred by the inverse design of artificial materials for nano-biophotonic applications. In particular, the extreme optical properties of artificial hyperbolic dispersion nanomaterials allowed to access new physical effects and mechanisms. The unbound isofrequency surfaces of hyperbolic metamaterials and metasurfaces allow to access virtually infinite photonic density of states, ultrahigh confinement of electromagnetic fields and anomalous wave propagation. Here, we report the most relevant physical properties of different hyperbolic dispersion material geometries and how they allow to control light-matter interaction at the single nanometer scale, in biological matter.
