Light collimation and focusing by a thin flat metallic slab.
We present experimental and theoretical work showing that a flat metallic slab can collimate and focus light impinging on the slab from a point source. The effect is optimized when the radiation is around the bulk, not at the surface, plasma frequency. Also, the smaller the imaginary part of the permittivity is, the better the collimation. Experiments for Ag in the visible as well as calculatio...
متن کاملLight extraction from optically pumped light-emitting diode by thin-slab photonic crystals
We describe a promising thin-slab light-emitting diode ~LED! design, which uses a highly efficient coherent external scattering of trapped light by a two-dimensional ~2D! photonic crystal. The light generation region was an unpatterned heterostructure surrounded by the light extraction region, a thin film patterned as a 2D photonic crystal. A six-fold photoluminescence enhancement was observed ...
متن کاملSystematic effects induced by a flat isotropic dielectric slab.
The instrumental polarization induced by a flat isotropic dielectric slab in microwave frequencies is discussed. We find that, in spite of its isotropic nature, such a dielectric can produce spurious polarization either by transmitting incoming anisotropic diffuse radiation or emitting when it is thermally inhomogeneous. We present evaluations of instrumental polarization generated by materials...
متن کاملThin anisotropic metasurfaces for simultaneous light focusing and polarization manipulation
The possibility of integration of two important categories of optical components, i.e., circular polarizer and lens, into a thin plasmonic metasurface is examined, for the realistic case when metal losses cannot be neglected, for example when operating in the visible spectrum, or at infrared when non-noble metals are used. We introduce a metasurface made of nanoantennas that offer enough degree...
متن کاملFlat Focusing Mirror
The control of spatial propagation properties of narrow light beams such as divergence, focusing or imaging are main objectives in optics and photonics. In this letter, we propose and demonstrate experimentally a flat focusing mirror, based on an especially designed dielectric structure without any optical axis. More generally, it also enables imaging any light pattern in reflection. The flat f...
