We analyze the propagation of an incident electromagnetic wave in a purely-time modulated medium. Precisely, we assume that the permeability is unchanged while the permittivity has a multiple-step profile in time and uniformly constant in…
Time-varying metamaterials are artificial materials whose electromagnetic properties change over time. Similar to a spatial medium discontinuity, a sudden change in time of the metamaterial refractive index induces the generation of a…

The characteristic impedance of a microwave transmission line is typically constrained to a value $Z_0$ = 50 $ \Omega$, in-part because of the low impedance of free space and the limited range of permittivity and permeability realizable…

Photonic devices rarely provide both elaborate spatial control and sharp spectral control over an incoming wavefront. In optical metasurfaces, for example, the localized modes of individual meta-units govern the wavefront shape over a broad…
