| A fuzzy logic-based embedded system to characterize materials and metamaterials is presented. Trapezoidal and Gaussian profiles, used as membership functions, allow to classify materials despite variations on light intensity. The results on various materials show the capacity of the system to calculate the refractive index as a complex number, through a fourth order equation. Since all the roots of the equarion, including imaginary ones, the system allow to characterize metamaterials. The embedded character of the systems allows to use it as an external module for most commercial equipments. |
