Using the relaxation process of strained semiconductor layers [1] we fabricate microtubes whose wall represent three-dimensional metamaterials consisting of alternating layers of metal (Ag) and semiconductor (AlIn)GaAs. I will present the results of the optical investigations of these microtube metamaterials including our latest findings. Be means of transmission measurements and finite difference time domain simulations we could show that these microtube metamaterials are promising candidates for rolled-up hyperlenses [2]. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the transmission through the metamaterial can be enhanced by integrating an optically active quantum well into the semiconductor [3]. In the next step we embedded a grating into the metamaterial to investigate the interaction of the embedded quantum well and possible surface plasmon polariton excitation on the Ag grating.
