Beam shaping by a periodic structure with negative refraction
We analyze transmission of a layered photonic structure ~a one-dimensional photonic crystal! consisting of alternating slabs of two materials with positive and negative refractive index. For the periodic structure with zero averaged refractive index, we demonstrate a number of unique properties of the beam transmission observed in strong beam modification and reshaping. © 2003 American Institut...
متن کاملNegative refraction, subwavelength focusing and beam formation by photonic crystals
We present a review of our experimental and numerical studies on the negative refraction related phenomena in two-dimensional dielectric photonic crystals (PCs). By employing photonic bands with appropriate dispersion, the propagation of the electromagnetic wave through a PC can be controlled to a large extent, and diverse and completely novel electromagnetic phenomena can be generated. We perf...
متن کاملTheory of negative refraction in periodic stratified metamaterials.
We present a general theory of negative refraction in periodic stratified heterostructures with an arbitrary number of homogeneous, isotropic, nonmagnetic layers in a unit cell. With a 4×4-matrix technique, we derive analytic expressions for the normal modes of such a heterostructure slab, introduce the average refraction angles of the energy flow and wavevector for the TE- and TM-polarized pla...
متن کاملNegative refraction by quantum vacuum
The phase velocity of light is co–parallel to the direction of energy flow in classical vacuum. However, in certain uncommon materials, these two vectors can be oppositely directed, in which case the phase velocity is termed ‘negative’. This negative phase velocity (NPV) gives rise to many exotic phenomenons, such as negative refraction, inverse Doppler shift and inverse C̆erenkov radiation, and...
متن کاملSome problems with negative refraction.
Some Problems with Negative Refraction* by John Michael Williams P. O. Box 2697, Redwood City, CA 94064 [email protected] Abstract J. B. Pendry's "Negative Refraction Makes a Perfect Lens" is analyzed. It appears that several statements may be understood in terms of lens design but not in terms of fundamental behavior of light. In a recent Letter, "Negative Refraction Makes a Perfect Lens" (P...
