Bloch oscillations in chirped layered structures with metamaterials.
We analyze the Bloch oscillations of electromagnetic waves in chirped layered structures with alternating layers of negative-index metamaterial and conventional dielectric under the condition of the zero average refractive index. We consider the case when the chirp is introduced by varying the thickness of the layers linearly across the structure. We demonstrate that such structures can support...
متن کاملBeam oscillations and curling in chirped periodic structures with metamaterials
We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in one-dimensional chirped periodic structures composed of alternating layers of negative-index or left-handed metamaterial and conventional dielectric, under the condition of the zero average refractive index. We consider the case when the periodic structure has a linear chirp, and the chirp is introduced by varying linearly the thickness of th...
متن کاملPlasmonic Bloch oscillations in chirped metal-dielectric structures
We study the propagation of plasmon polaritons in one-dimensional chirped metal-dielectric layered structures. We find an optical Wannier–Stark ladder in the mode spectrum and analyze Bloch oscillations associated with the coupling of surface plasmons localized at the metal-dielectric interfaces. For long structures, we find that the energy flow may dramatically change its direction, thus provi...
متن کاملTunable terahertz Bloch oscillations in chirped photonic crystals
We report simulations showing tunable terahertz oscillations of the electromagnetic field provided by the Bloch oscillations of a short photonic wave packet in a tilted band structure. The structure consists in a finite one-dimensional photonic crystal inhomogeneously chirped by a slowly-varying refractive index gradient. Tunability is obtained by relocating the Bloch oscillations center in reg...
متن کاملDynamics of Bloch oscillations
We study the dynamics of Bloch oscillations in a one-dimensional periodic potential plus a (relatively weak) static force. The tight-binding and single-band approximations are analysed in detail, and also in a classicalized version. A number of numerically exact results obtained from wavepacket propagation are analysed and interpreted in terms of the tight-binding and single-band model, both in...
