This project is to develop meta-materials for visible frequencies and explore their application in high resolution/magnification imaging, enhancement of photonic device and cloaking. The COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5 programme is use for designing the various filling ratio and period of metal + dielectric of meta-materials. Using this programme, Power Flow and FWHM values can extract from various designs. The chosen value of Power Flow and FWHM will be useful for fabricating nano-scale metal and dielectric materials using sputtering machine. Lastly, ellipsometer is also use to investigate the dielectric properties of thin films in comparison with the simulation result using COMSOL programme.
