对称型单负交替一维光子晶体的能带结构

构造了(AB)^N(BA)^N对称型两种单负材料交替一维光子晶体,利用传输矩阵法进行数值模拟.结果表明：这种单负交替对称型一维光子晶体具有一种特殊带隙结构,该带隙不敏感于入射角和晶格的无序性.在该带隙内出现了两个隧穿模,该隧穿模不敏感于入射角的改变和晶格的无序性,但能带及带隙内的隧穿模却敏感于晶格标度和周期数的变化;随着入射角的改变,带隙两侧的隧穿模趋于简并.这些特性对在利用此结构光子晶体设计双重超窄带滤波器时,具有一定的参考价值. 关键词： 光子晶体 单负材料 光子带隙

含单负介质层受阻全内反射结构的光子隧穿现象研究

利用稳定相位理论得到了光子穿越含单负介质层受阻全内反射结构的隧穿时间以及光子穿透光学势垒后产生的横向位移.分析结果表明，当势垒为单负介质时，光子隧穿可能表现出负的隧穿时间和负的横向位移.隧穿时间和横向位移存在Hartman效应，使得光子隧穿过程具有超光速性质.此外，基于TM波和TE波通过负介电常数介质和负磁导率介质势垒产生的横向位移的方向正好相反，得到了一种有效的区分两类单负介质的方法. 关键词： 光子隧穿 负折射 单负介质 超光速

First experimental evidence for chaos-assisted tunneling in a microwave annular billiard

We report on first experimental signatures for chaos-assisted tunneling in a two-dimensional annular billiard. Measurements of microwave spectra from a superconducting cavity with high frequency resolution are combined with electromagnetic field distributions experimentally determined from a normal conducting twin cavity with high spatial resolution to resolve eigenmodes with properly identified quantum numbers. Distributions of quasidoublet splittings serve as basic observables for the tunneling between whispering gallery-type modes localized to congruent, but distinct tori which are coupled weakly to irregular eigenstates associated with the chaotic region in phase space.     

Lamellar model of the left-handed metamaterials composed of metallic split-ring resonators and wires

Left-handed materials composed of split ring resonators (SRRs) and wires are investigated in the viewpoint of lamellar composite with epsilon-negative (ENG) and mu-negative (MNG) materials staked alternatively. Several configurations of the SRR-wire metamaterial are numerically simulated to confirm its left-handed response as an analogy to the ENG-MNG lamellar model.     

On Virtual Phonons,Photons, and Electrons

A macroscopic realization of the peculiar virtual particles is presented. The classical Helmholtz and the Schrödinger equations are differential equations of the same mathematical structure. The solutions with an imaginary wave number are called evanescent modes in the case of elastic and electromagnetic fields. In the case of non-relativistic quantum mechanical fields they are called tunneling solutions. The imaginary wave numbers point to strange consequences: The waves are non-local, they are not observable, and they are described as virtual particles. During the last two decades QED calculations of the solutions with an imaginary wave number have been experimentally confirmed for phonons, photons, and electrons. The experimental proofs of the predictions of non-relativistic quantum mechanics and the Wigner phase time approach for the elastic, electromagnetic and Schrödinger fields will be presented in this article. The results are zero time in the barrier and an interaction time (i.e. a phase shift) at the barrier interfaces. The measured tunneling time scales approximately inversely with the particle energy. Actually, the tunneling time is given only by the barrier boundary interaction time, as zero time is spent inside a barrier.     

Tamm plasmon polaritons in composite structures composed of the metal film and truncated photonic crystals

Tamm plasmon polaritons (TPPs) are studied theoretically and experimentally in heterostructures and sandwiched structures with the metallic film and truncated photonic crystals. Different from conventional surface plasmon polaritons, TPPs can be realized in both the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations, and they can be excited from a free space. Because of nonreciprocal electromagnetic field distributions of TPPs, the structures possess strongly nonreciprocal absorption and reflection. Moreover, two tunneling peaks or a narrow transmission band can be realized in sandwiched structures for both polarizations due to the coupling effect between two TPPs.     

Time-domain investigation of the tunneling modes in photonic heterostructure containing single-negative materials

We present a theoretical investigation into the energy transport and transient wave propagation in metamaterial tunneling structures consisting of ??-negative (ENG) and ??-negative (MNG) materials. It is proved that a conjugated matched ENG/MNG bilayer and a (zero-index-material doped) photonic crystal heterostructure can work as a sub-wavelength resonator at tunneling frequency. The tunneling modes need a certain time to achieve the steady state and the charge up characteristic time increases (nearly) exponentially with the thickness of the structures. Under the steady state, the wave in the single-negative-material structures is not evanescent, but a hybrid of a traveling wave and a reactive standing wave. The phase difference between the electric field and the magnetic field varies with the position and time. The investigation of transient wave propagation in the metamaterial tunneling structures will help us to understand the interaction process between wave and metamaterial and to design special functional apparatus.     

The effect of the surface enhanced polariton field on the tunneling current of a STM

The influence of surface polaritons (SPs), excited on the external (fast mode) and internal (slow mode) surfaces of a gold film, on the tunneling current of a STM is investigated. The role of the surface polaritons is directly demonstrated by the angular excitation spectra of the induced tunneling current. Possible mechanisms which might give rise to the SP induced change in the tunneling current are discussed. An electromagnetic field of SPs within a tunneling gap is estimated to be surface enhanced in order to explain the value of the induced tunneling current. Images of the polariton induced signal distribution over the sample surface taken by means of different SP modes are compared in order to obtain information on the structure of the internal surface of the film.     

Spatial dynamics of hybrid electromagnetic spin waves in a lateral multiferroic microwaveguide

Regimes of the formation of spatial structures at the propagation of hybrid electromagnetic spin waves in a system of laterally coupled multiferroics, which consist of parallel ferromagnetic microwaveguides with a ferroelectric layer, are studied experimentally and theoretically. Brillouin spectroscopy measurements at frequencies near the ferromagnetic resonance by the method of selection of mode patterns reveal a sharp increase in the spatial scales of transfer of power between microwaveguides. The calculations of the characteristics of propagation of electromagnetic spin wave in a lateral multiferroic structure with a finite width show that energy exchange between films is due to the features of intermodal coupling between waves. Higher transverse modes and electric-field-induced transformation of spectra of the electromagnetic spin waves in the adjacent multiferroics are studied experimentally and numerically.     

Electromagnetic properties of open and closed overmoded slow-waveresonators for interaction with relativistic electron beams

Specific slow wave structures are needed in order to produce coherent Cherenkov radiation in overmoded relativistic generators. The electromagnetic characteristics of such slow wave, resonant, finite length structures commonly used in relativistic backward wave oscillators have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. In experiments, perturbation techniques were used to study both the fundamental and higher order symmetric transverse magnetic (TM) modes. Finite length effects lead to end reflections and quantization of the wave number. The effects of end reflections in open slow wave structures were found from the spectral broadening of the discrete resonances of the different axial modes. The measured axial and radial field distributions are in excellent agreement with the results of a 2-D code developed for the calculation of the fields in these structures
