Anomalous Propagation in Low Index Contrast Metamaterials: Assessment of the Beam Collimation Condition

Self-collimation and beam splitting in low-index photonic crystals

We study self-collimation and beam splitting in low-refractive-index photonic crystals created within chalcogenide glass. We propose a beam splitter structure that allows direct experimental verification of photonic-crystal effects at optical wavelengths in a straightforward and definitive manner. The beam splitter provides angular separation of 90 using a highly compact spatial footprint, thus...

assessment of the park- ang damage index for performance levels of rc moment resisting frames

چکیده هدف اصلی از طراحی لرزه ای تامین ایمنی جانی در هنگام وقوع زلزله و تعمیر پذیر بودن سازه خسارت دیده، پس از وقوع زلزله است. تجربه زلزله های اخیر نشان داده است که ساختمان های طراحی شده با آیین نامه های مبتنی بر نیرو از نظر محدود نمودن خسارت وارده بر سازه دقت لازم را ندارند. این امر سبب پیدایش نسل جدید آیین نامه های مبتنی بر عملکرد شده است. در این آیین نامه ها بر اساس تغییرشکل های غیرارتجاعی ...

Deep subwavelength beam propagation in extremely loss-anisotropic metamaterials

Metal–dielectric multilayer metamaterials with extreme loss-anisotropy, in which the longitudinal component of the permittivity tensor has an ultra-large imaginary part, are proposed and designed. Diffraction-free deep subwavelength beam propagation and manipulation, due to the nearly flat iso-frequency contour, is demonstrated in such loss-anisotropic metamaterials. It is also shown that deep ...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
