Abstract
An apparatus includes an array of metal nanowires embedded in a matrix of optically tunable material providing a tunable hyperbolic metamaterial, and a control circuit including (i) a current source coupled to first ends of the array of metal nanowires and (ii) a ground voltage coupled to second ends of the array of metal nanowires. The control circuit is configured to modify a state of the optically tunable material utilizing current supplied between the first and second ends of the array of metal nanowires to dynamically reconfigure optical properties of the tunable hyperbolic metamaterial.
