Abstract :
In this contribution we show how special artificial materials can be used as complex dielectrics in the design of optical circuits and nanofilters. Starting from the up-to-date papers on the use of plasmonic and non-plasmonic nanoparticles as nanoinductors and nanocapacitors in the infrared and optical domains, we present new design formulas to synthesize filtering nanostructures at optical frequencies, using collections of 3D nanoparticles acting as lumped nanocircuit elements.
