Negative refraction observed in a metallic ferromagnet in the gigahertz frequency range

It is generally believed that nature does not provide materials with negative refraction. Here we demonstrate experimentally that such materials do exist at least at GHz frequencies: ferromagnetic metals reveal a negative refraction index close to the frequency of the ferromagnetic resonance. The experimental realization utilizes a colossal magnetoresistance manganite La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO(3) as an example. In this material the negative refractive index can be achieved even at room temperature using external magnetic fields.     

Negative refraction in ferromagnetic materials under external magnetic field: a theoretical analysis

We present a detailed theoretical analysis on the possibilities and conditions for negative permeability and negative refraction occuring in the magnetic materials with both pronounced magnetic and dielectric responses to electromagnetic waves. The results indicate that the permeability is always positive for $\de=(2q+0.5)\pi$ ($\de$ is the initial phase difference of magnetic components $h_{x}$ and $h_{y }$ of incident electromagnetic wave, $q$ is integer), which means that it is difficult to realize negative refraction. However, for $\de=2q\pi, \de=(2q+1)\pi$, or $\de=(2q-0.5)\pi$, the negative permeability occurs at some range of free procession frequency, which means that the refraction can become negative under certain conditions. Further analysis reveals that for general positive permittivity there are various opportunities for realizing the negative refraction provided that some requirements are met. One concludes also that the refractive index for $\de=2q\pi$ case is similar to $\de=(2q+1)\pi$. The only difference between two cases of $\de=2q\pi$ and $\de=(2q+1)\pi$ is that the $x$-direction for $\de=2q\pi$ corresponds to the $y$-direction for $\de=(2q+1)\pi$, and the $y$-direction for $\de=2q\pi$ corresponds to the $x$-direction for $\de=(2q+1)\pi$. The results are valuable for designing and analysing the complex negative refraction of magnetic materials.

Negative refractive index, perfect lenses and checkerboards: Trapping and imaging effects in folded optical spaces

Newly discovered metamaterials have opened new vistas for better control of light via negative refraction, whereby light refracts in the “wrong” manner. These are dielectric and metallic composite materials structured at subwavelength lengthscales. Their building blocks consist of local resonators such as conducting thin bars and split rings driving the material parameters such as the dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability to negative (complex) values. Combined together, these structural elements can bring about a (complex valued) negative effective refractive index for the Snell–Descartes law and result in negative refraction of radiation. Negative refractive index materials can support a host of surface plasmon states for both polarizations of light. This makes possible unique effects such as imaging with subwavelength image resolution through the Pendry–Veselago slab lens. Other geometries have also been investigated, such as cylindrical or spherical lenses that enable a magnification of images with subwavelength resolution. Superlenses of three-fold (equilateral triangle), four-fold (square) and six-fold (hexagonal) geometry allow for multiple images, respectively two, three, and five. Generalization to rectangular and triangular checkerboards consisting of alternating cells of positive and negative refractive index represents a very singular situation in which the density of modes diverges at the corners, with an infinity of images. Sine-cosecant anisotropic heterogeneous square and triangular checkerboards can be respectively mapped onto three-dimensional cubic and icosahedral corner lenses consisting of alternating positive and negative refractive regions. All such systems with corners between negative and positive refractive media display very singular behavior with the local density of states becoming infinitely large at the corner, in the limit of no dissipation. We investigate all of these, using the unifying viewpoint of transformation optics. To cite this article: S. Guenneau, S.A. Ramakrishna, C. R. Physique 10 (2009).     

Experiment of Doppler shift of diffraction beam

Optical heterodyne interfering is used to measure the Doppler shift of diffraction beam of moving plane grating. By introducing Doppler shift in reference beam and contrasting the final beat frequency, the Doppler shift is measured to be normal when incident light and diffraction light are in the same side of the normal of periodic plane grating, which shows that abnormal Doppler shift can not occur on the material with “negative refraction phenomenon” caused by periodicity. Periodic two-dimensional photonic crystal with the property of abnormal Doppler shift has equivalent negative refractive index, and the abnormal properties of left-handed materials are not only caused by periodicity.

The nonlinear refraction sign turned to reverse by intercalating cresyl violent dye into layered titanate nanosheets

Solid-state dye-doped materials are an attractive alternative to conventional liquid dye solution. In this study, the spectral characteristics of dye cresyl violet before and after intercalating into layered titanate nanosheets and forming a nanohybrid thin film were investigated by measuring absorption and fluorescence spectra. In addition, their nonlinear optical properties were studied using single beam z-scan technique under irradiation of low power continuous wave (CW) produced by DPSS laser with a wavelength of 532 nm. The nonlinear studying results reveal that the dye cresyl violet in solution has a negative nonlinear refractive index, but it reverses to positive after the dye is intercalated into layered titanate nanosheets with a negative nonlinear refractive index forming CV/HTO nanohybrid thin film. This method can provide a way to turn to reverse nonlinear refraction sign of the materials.

光学马格努斯效应中的横向角移分析

从平面角谱理论出发,建立了光束在空气和玻璃界面折射的传输模型.基于这一模型,揭示了光学马格努斯效应中的横向角移现象.对于特定的线偏振和椭圆偏振光束,其折射场重心出现了横向角移,而当入射光束为圆偏振时,横向角移则会消失.在正负折射率界面,光束的横向角移产生了反转现象,这是由于光束在左手材料中发生了负衍射.超高折射率可明显地减少横向角移,而超低折射率则可显著地增强横向角移.这些发现将为如何调控和增强光学马格努斯效应提供理论依据. 关键词： 光学马格努斯效应 横向角移 圆偏振     

A liquid refractive index detect method based on negative refraction phenomenon in 2D photonic crystal structure

This paper is mainly concerned with the investigation of negative refraction phenomenon dependent on the background refractive index in 2D photonic crystal, which consists of a hexagonal lattice of circular dielectric rods with Si. The paper presents the relationship between background refractive index and negative refraction. The relationship is investigated by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method on software RSoft. The results point out that the output power is added with the increase of the background refractive index. With the research, a new fluid refractive index detection method is proposed. Compared with other normal liquid refractive index analyzer reported, this detector has advantages of faster detection, less stray light interference and miniaturization.     

Coherent control of negative refraction based on local-field enhancement and dynamically induced chirality

This paper studies the electromagnetic response of a coherently driven dense atomic ensemble to a weak probe.It finds that negative refraction with little absorption may be achieved in the presence of local-field enhanced interaction and dynamically induced chirality.The complex refractive index governing the probe refraction and absorption depends critically on the atomic density,the steady population distribution,the coherence dephasings,and the frequency detunings,and is also sensitive to the phase of the driving field because the photonic transition paths form a close loop.Thus,it can periodically tune the refractive index at a fixed frequency from negative to positive values and vice versa just by modulating the driving phase.Moreover,the optimal negative refraction is found to be near the probe magnetic resonance,which then requires the electric fields of the probe and the drive being on two-photon resonance due to the dipole synchronisation.     

Study of group velocity in the negative refractive index region in three level closed Λ system via spontaneously generated coherence

A new approach is suggested to realize simultaneous negative permittivity and permeability in a three level closed system with incoherent pumping via spontaneously generated coherence (SGC). In this system the negativity of the real part of magnetic permeability can be achieved in the presence of SGC whereas in the absence of SGC it is positive. Thus the SGC makes the system a negative index medium (NIM) in a band of frequency range. The position and the band of the frequency region of negative refraction can be manipulated by controlling the incoherent pump rate. We achieve FOM?=?7.91165. We have studied the group index in the negative refractive index region and have shown that the group velocity switches from superluminal to subluminal mode in this region of negative refraction. We have shown that the negative refractive index can be realized in a heteronuclear molecule.     

Kramers-Kronig relations and sum rules of negative refractive index media

Negative refractive index media have become a hot topic in physics due to their proposed revolutionary properties, which would have drastic consequences in design of novel optical devices. We show that Kramers-Kronig relations connecting the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of absorbing media are valid even though the real refractive index may take negative value at some spectral range. In addition universal sum rules for linear optical constants of negative index media are also valid. This means that negative refractive index media are not fundamentally different from regular media. Hence, any spectrum measured from negative refractive index media can be analyzed using dispersion relations and sum rules, which have so far provided information on the optical properties of materials.Received: 13 May 2004, Published online: 30 September 2004PACS: 77.

利用量子力学中的密度矩阵算符理论和迭代方法,导出莫尔斯（Morse）势阱中线性和三阶非线性光折射率改变的解析表达式,并以典型的GaAs／AlGaAs Morse势阱为例进行数值计算。数值结果表明,随着入射光强度增强,总的折射率改变将减少;随着势阱参数a的增大,总的折射率改变将减小;而随着载流子浓度的增加,总的折射率改变将增加。结果表明要获得较大的折射率改变,则需选取较小的入射光强度,较小的参数a,较大的载流子浓度,从而为实验研究提供理论依据。
