特异材料吸收体的透射线模型与场分析：理想的电磁波浓缩器

Arising from the proposed Transmission Line（TL） model for ERR and wire structure, a TL model for a metamaterial absorber is proposed. The S-parameters obtained by this TL model demonstrate the same shapes as the simulation. An investigation of the TL model and average absorption power densities shows that the metamaterial absorber does not simply convert the electromagnetic wave into thermal energy, but concen- trate the electromagnetic wave into a small space where it is finally absorbed. This suggests that the metamaterial absorber can be applied to solar cells for the purpose of light trapping.     

Characteristics of slow light in a magnetized plasma hyperbolic metamaterial waveguide

The characteristics of slow light in a magnetized plasma hyperbolic metamaterial waveguide are analyzed in detail. Compared with a conventional waveguide filled with hyperbolic metamaterial cladded by dielectric or a dielectric waveguide cladded by hyperbolic metamaterial, the characteristics of slow light in a magnetized plasma hyperbolic metamaterial waveguide are actively tunable. The results show that plasma filling factor, dielectric constant of background materials, plasma density, and external magnetized field have significantly changed the characteristics of slow light. Parameter dependence of the effects is examined and discussed.     

Double-resonance plasmon-driven enhancement of nonlinear optical response in a metamaterial with coated nanoparticles

By means of a simple analytical model, we show the possibility of giant double-resonance enhancement of nonlinear cubic optical response of metamaterial containing layered (coated) nanoparticles with nonlinear dielectric core covered by metallic shell. Such nanoparticles support two surface plasmons of dipole type with different eigenfrequencies depending on volume portion of nonlinear dielectric. We demonstrate that giant enhancement of nonlinearity takes place under condition of double resonance when the fundamental frequency of light wave and its third harmonic simultaneously coincide or close to the frequencies of surface plasmons.     

Experimental demonstration of subwavelength focusing of electromagnetic waves by labyrinth-based two-dimensional metamaterials

We studied focusing in a two-dimensional metamaterial that was based on a labyrinth structure. We theoretically showed that the labyrinth-based metamaterial exhibits negative indices of refraction between 6 and 6.4 GHz. We experimentally studied the focusing effect by measuring electric field intensities on the output side of the metamaterial when the source was placed in front of the input side of the metamaterial. Our experimental results showed that it is in fact possible to focus the source field with half-widths as small as wavelength/4 by using the labyrinth-based metamaterial.

The Property of the Horizontal Dipole Radiating in the Presence of a Single Lossless Metamaterial Sphere

The electric field properties of the horizontal dipole radiation in the presence of a lossless metamaterial sphere are investigated. First, the solution of the electromagnetic field of the model could be obtained. Second, the near field properties are investigated according to the electromagnetic and geometrical parameters. It could be seen that in the metamaterial sphere, the focusing phenomenon is obviously observed. It is in consistent with the analysis. Throughout the article, the conventional sphere is utilized as reference. No focus is observed in the conventional material sphere as it does not have the characteristic of negative refraction.     

Terahertz wave modulator based on optically controllable metamaterial

We demonstrated experimentally a terahertz wave modulator based on optically controlled metamaterial. The signal modulation mechanism of the presented terahertz wave modulator was based on the resonance characteristic of metamaterial controlled without or with light excitation. A modulated semiconductor laser with 808 nm wavelength was employed to light the substrate. The interaction between the metamaterial and terahertz wave was strengthened and yielded an appreciable modulation of the terahertz output beam. The modulation speed is 0.1 Kb/s and the modulation depth of the proposed terahertz modulator is about 57% at a frequency of 0.32 THz.     

Permeability retrieval in InP-based waveguide optical device combined with metamaterial

An InP-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer combined with a metamaterial layer consisting of a split-ring resonator array was constructed to measure the complex permeability of the metamaterial. At a wavelength of 1.5 μm, the metamaterial showed non-unity relative permeability induced by magnetic interaction with propagating light in the device. This method of measurement would be useful to determine constitutive parameters in such waveguide-based photonic devices, allowing us to design photonic integrated circuits that make use of metamaterials.     

Extreme control of light in metamaterials: Complete and loss-free stopping of light

We present an overview of recent advances within the field of slow- and stopped-light in metamaterial and plasmonic waveguides. We start by elucidating the mechanisms by which these configurations can enable complete stopping of light. Decoherence mechanisms may destroy the zero-group-velocity condition for real-frequency/complex-wavevector modes, but we show that metamaterial and nanoplasmonic waveguides also support complex-frequency/real-wavevector modes that uphold the light-stopping condition. A further point of focus is how, by using gain, dissipative losses can be overcome in the slow- and stopped-light regimes. To this end, on the basis of full-wave finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations and analytic transfer-matrix calculations, we show that the incorporation of thin layers made of an active medium, placed adjacently to the core layer of a negative-refractive-index waveguide, can fully remove dissipative losses – in a slow- or stopped-light regime where the effective index of the guided lightwave remains negative.
