Optical Time Reversal from Time-Dependent Epsilon-Near-Zero Media

Photonic doping of epsilon-near-zero media.

Doping a semiconductor with foreign atoms enables the control of its electrical and optical properties. We transplant the concept of doping to macroscopic photonics, demonstrating that two-dimensional dielectric particles immersed in a two-dimensional epsilon-near-zero medium act as dopants that modify the medium's effective permeability while keeping its effective permittivity near zero, indep...

Optical isolation with epsilon-near-zero metamaterials.

We suggest a principle for isolation of circularly polarized waves in magnetically active extreme-parameter metamaterials. Using theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we show that metamaterials with extreme parameters, such as epsilon-near-zero materials (ENZ), when merged with magneto-optical materials, become transparent for forward circularly polarized waves of a given handedness a...

Time reversal for waves in time-dependent random media

s : Regularization through stochastic forcing and its impact on nonlinear time-reversal A. Nachbin IMPA, Est. D. Castorina, 110, J. Botanico, CEP 22460-320, Rio, RJ, Brasil A large amount of mathematical theory has been developed for the time-reversal of linear waves in random media. This work concerns the extension to one-dimensional, weakly nonlinear water waves. Weakly dispersive water waves...

Loss-compensated broadband epsilon-near-zero metamaterials with gain media

Eutectic epsilon-near-zero metamaterial terahertz waveguides.

We present and analyze the unique phenomena of enhanced THz transmission through a subwavelength LiF dielectric rod lattice embedded in an epsilon-near-zero KCl host. Our experimental results in combination with theoretical calculations show that subwavelength waveguiding of terahertz radiation is achieved within an alkali-halide eutectic metamaterial as result of the coupling of Mie-resonance ...
