Recent advances in the analytical modeling of wire media based metamaterials with microwave and terahertz applications

Here, we review our recent progress on the analytical modeling of wire media based metamaterial structures and demonstrate a variety of microwave and terahertz applications. The analysis is based on the homogenization theory of spatially dispersive wire media with additional boundary conditions derived for different interface scenarios. The applications include subwavelength imaging, super lenses, wideband absorbers, artificial impedance surfaces, carbon-based nanomaterials, and many others.
