Nonlinear phenomena of left-handed nonlinear split-ring resonators

We theoretically analyze a two-dimensional periodic structure consisting of period nonlinear split-ring resonators (SRRs) with varactor diode. The diode is loaded into the slit of the SRRs. Then, we demonstrate nonlinear phenomena of left-handed nonlinear SRRs. This paper introduces nonlinear SRRs based on left-handed (LH) media and simulates self-tuning mechanisms, bistable effects in the microwave frequency range. In addition, with the increase of input power, the nonlinear response of the SRRs becomes multi-valued, paving a way for creating bistable tunable metamaterials.     

Symmetric and antisymmetric modes of electromagnetic resonators

In this paper, we numerically study a new type of infrared resonator structure, whose unit cell consists of paired split-ring resonators (SRRs). At different resonant frequencies, the magnetic dipoles induced from the two SRRs within one unit cell can be parallel or antiparallel, which are defined as symmetric and antisymmetic modes, respectively. Detailed simulation indicates that the symmetric mode is due to magnetic coupling to resonators, in which the effective permeability could be negative. However, the antisymmetric mode originating from strong electric coupling may contribute to negative effective permittivity. Our new electromagnetic resonators with pronounced magnetic as well as electric responses could provide a new pathway to design negative index materials (NIMs) in the optical region.

Effective medium theory of left-handed materials

We analyze the transmission and reflection data obtained through transfer matrix calculations on metamaterials of finite lengths, to determine their effective permittivity epsilon and permeability micro. Our study concerns metamaterial structures composed of periodic arrangements of wires, cut wires, split ring resonators (SRRs), closed SRRs, and both wires and SRRs. We find that the SRRs have a strong electric response, equivalent to that of cut wires, which dominates the behavior of left-handed materials (LHM). Analytical expressions for the effective parameters of the different structures are given, which can be used to explain the transmission characteristics of LHMs. Of particular relevance is the criterion introduced by our studies to identify if an experimental transmission peak is left or right handed.     

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.

Experimental observation of true left-handed transmission peaks in metamaterials

We report true left-handed (LH) behavior in a composite metamaterial consisting of a periodically arranged split ring resonator (SRR) and wire structures. We demonstrate the magnetic resonance of the SRR structure by comparing the transmission spectra of SRRs with those of closed SRRs. We have confirmed experimentally that the effective plasma frequency of the LH material composed of SRRs and wires is lower than the plasma frequency of the wires. A well-defined LH transmission band with a peak value of -1.2 dB (-0.3 dB/cm) was obtained. The experimental results agree extremely well with the theoretical calculations.     

Compact dielectric particles as a building block for low-loss magnetic metamaterials

We characterize experimentally a compact dielectric particle that can be used to design very low-loss artificial electromagnetic materials (metamaterials). Focusing on magnetic media, we show that the particle can behave almost identically to the well-known split-ring resonators (SRRs) widely used in present designs, without suffering from the Ohmic losses that can limit the applicability of SRRs especially at high frequencies. We experimentally compare qualitatively and quantitatively the dielectric particle with a typical split-ring resonator of the same size built on a low-loss dielectric substrate and show that at GHz frequencies the quality factor of the dielectric particle is more than 3 times bigger than that of its metallic counterpart. Low-loss and simple geometry are significant advantages compared to conventional metal SRRs.

Experimental analysis of true left-handed behaviour and transmission properties of composite metamaterials

We report the true left-handed transmission of a composite metamaterial (CMM) consisting of periodically stacked split-ring resonator (SRR) and wire elements. The negative permeability (μ < 0) gap is demonstrated explicitly by comparing SRR and closed-ring resonator structures. We confirm experimentally that the plasma cut-off frequency of the CMM is determined by the combined dielectric response of SRR and wire elements, and it is much lower than that of the wire-only medium. This is crucial to identify the left-handed transmission bands of the CMM. We further investigate the effect of intralayer and interlayer disorder on the transmission spectrum of CMM arising from misaligned fabrication and stacking of the SRR layers. We found that the intralayer disorder affects the μ < 0 gap of SRRs and the left-handed transmission band of CMM significantly, whereas the SRR transmission is rather immune to interlayer disorder.

Complete Polarization Conversion Characteristics of Dielectric Grating Composed of Left-Handed Materials

The TE/TM polarization conversion characteristics of dielectric grating composed of left-handed materials for the case of plane wave oblique incidence are carefully investigated by a method which combines the multimode network theory with the rigorous mode matching method. It is indicated that complete polarization conversion between TE and TM modes can be realized using left-handed gratings. This can hardly achieve in the conventional right-handed gratings. Comparisons of polarization conversion properties between right-handed gratings and left-handed gratings are given with physical explanations. This unique merit of left-handed periodic structure is of important significance for accurate design of new millimeter wave TE/TM polarization converters.
