摘要

由于对电磁波强大的调控能力，超材料和超表面吸引了越来越多研究者的关注。本文回顾总结近年来电磁超材料的发展，从最初的新物理现象到现在的新信息系统。首先展示等效媒质超材料的定义和应用，包括隐身衣和超材料透镜等。随后介绍二维超材料，即电磁超表面，对空间波和表面波的调控功能，同时概述表面等离子激元及其在微波段的应用。在此基础上，着重介绍新颖的数字编码超材料和可编程超材料，统称信息超材料。通过将理论层的信息科学与物理层的超材料设计联系在一起，实现一系列新型器件和系统，同时实现信息和电磁波调控。最后，对超材料的未来发展做出展望。

Abstract

Metamaterials and metasurfaces have attracted much attention due to their powerful ability to control electromagnetic (EM) waves. In this paper

we review the recent developments in the field of EM metamaterials

starting from their exotic physics to their applications in novel information systems. First

we show the fundamental understanding on traditional metamaterials based on the effective medium theory and related applications

such as invisibility cloaks and meta-lenses. Second

we review the two-dimensional versions of metamaterials

i.e.

metasurfaces

for controlling spatial waves and surface waves and thereafter present their typical designs. In particular

we briefly introduce spoof surface plasmon polaritons and their applications in microwave frequencies. Following the above approach

we emphatically present the concepts of digital coding metamaterials

programmable metamaterials

and information metamaterials. By extending the principles of information science to metamaterial designs

several functional devices and information systems are presented

which enable digital and EM-wave manipulations simultaneously. Finally

we give a brief summary of the development prospects for microwave metamaterials.
