Abstract :
We demonstrate an approach for creating reconfigurable plasmonic and metamaterial devices. As an example, this allows for dramatic changes in the transmission properties through subwavelength apertures and split ring resonators. We accomplish this by using a liquid metal that can be injected into or withdrawn from channels in an elastomeric mold.
