Artificial materials constructed through the periodic arrangement of specially structured unit cells can be employed in a wide variety of application fields. The present work deals with the design and analysis of these so-called metamaterials. The range of structures presented extends from media with a negative refractive index through birefringent materials for the construction of retardation plates to novel modulators. The frequency range for a possible deployment of the applications mentioned extends from microwaves to optics. One focus is the currently highly interesting terahertz range, which is attributed a very high future potential.
