Description
We propose to use metamaterial films to produce flakes for aerosolized obscurants which can have narrow-band transmission windows. We will focus our initial efforts on the visible and SWIR range, but the technique can be extended into out to the LWIR as needed. This effort will proceed with the analytical and computational design of the metamaterial structures which can provide extinction on the order of 4.5 m^2/g for broadband radiation while allowing narrow passbands. We will synthesize a moderate quantity of flakes in Phase I for testing and proof of feasibility.
