Abstract
- Refractive index enhancement is crucial in the field of lithography, imaging, optical communications, solar devices and many more. We present a review of advancements in the process of designing high refractive index metamaterials, starting from quantum coupling and photonic bandgap materials to metamaterials utilizing deep subwavelength coupling to achieve ever-high values of refractive index. A crisp and critical impression of each scheme are presented. The understanding of evolution of material design from intrinsic electronic states manipulation to meta-atoms design is not only fascinating but prerequisite to developing successful devices and applications.
