متن کاملLarge spontaneous emission rate enhancement in grating coupled hyperbolic metamaterials
Hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM), a sub-wavelength periodic artificial structure with hyperbolic dispersion, can enhance the spontaneous emission of quantum emitters. Here, we demonstrate the large spontaneous emission rate enhancement of an organic dye placed in a grating coupled hyperbolic metamaterial (GCHMM). A two-dimensional (2D) silver diffraction grating coupled with an Ag/Al2O3 HMM shows ...
متن کاملNonlinear Tamm states in layered metaldielectric metamaterials
Surface modes appear as a special type of waves localized near an interface separating two different media. In optics, linear electromagnetic surface waves are known to exist at an interface separating homogeneous and periodic dielectric media [1] as well as in layered structures containing thin metal films [2–4]. The interest in the study of nonlinear electromagnetic surface waves has been ren...
متن کاملControlling spontaneous emission with metamaterials.
We have observed, in metamaterial with hyperbolic dispersion (an array of silver nanowires in alumina membrane), a sixfold reduction of the emission lifetime of dye deposited onto the metamaterial's surface. This serves as evidence of an anomalously high density of photonic states in hyperbolic metamaterials, demonstrates the feasibility of an earlier-predicted single-photon gun, and paves the ...
متن کاملEnhanced spontaneous emission inside hyperbolic metamaterials.
Hyperbolic metamaterials can enhance spontaneous emission, but the radiation-matter coupling is not optimized if the light source is placed outside such media. We demonstrate a 3-fold improvement of the Purcell factor over its outer value and a significant enlargement in bandwidth by including the emitter within a Si/Ag periodic multilayer metamaterial. To extract the plasmonic modes of the str...
