  • Abstract
    In this paper we introduce the first mechanically reconfigurable photonic metamaterials with tunable transmission and reflection characteristics provided by nanoscale movements of the components of the metamaterial structure. In the past control of electromagnetic response of metamaterials has only been possible in the terahertz part of the spectrum through micro-electro-mechanically activated motion.
