All-optically transformable broad-band transparency and amplification in negative-index films
Negative-index metamaterials (NIMs) exhibit highly unusual optical properties and promise a great variety of unprecedented applications. However, strong optical absorption inherent to such materials imposes severe limitation on such applications. The possibility to overcome this obstacle was proposed based on the coherent energy transfer from the control field to the signal through three-wavemi...
متن کاملTailoring transparency of negative-index metamaterials with parametric amplification
The possibility of compensating losses in negative-index metatamterials doped by resonant four-level centers is shown based on quantum interference and extraordinary properties of parametric amplification of counterpropagating electromagnetic waves. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (1904410) Nonlinear optics, parametric processes, (270.1670) Coherent optical effects
متن کاملCompensating losses in negative-index metamaterials by optical parametric amplification.
Optical parametric amplification controlled by the auxiliary electromagnetic field enables transparency, amplification, and oscillation with no cavity in strongly absorbing negative-index metamaterials. The opposite directions of the wave vector and the Poynting vector in such materials result in extraordinary optical properties, including "backward" phase matching and the generation of entangl...
متن کاملDual-band negative index metamaterial: double negative at 813 nm and single negative at 772 nm.
This work is concerned with the experimental demonstration of a dual-band negative index metamaterial. The sample is double negative (showing both a negative effective permeability and a negative effective permittivity) for linearly polarized light with a wavelength between 799 and 818 nm, and the real part of its refractive index is approximately -1.0 at 813 nm. The ratio of -Re(n)/Im(n) is cl...
متن کاملNear-infrared metamaterials with dual-band negative-index characteristics.
Dual-band negative-index metamaterial designs in the near-infrared frequency range are presented and their performance is analyzed using a full-wave numerical electromagnetic scattering method. Negative effective permittivity is provided by a thin layer of metallic film. Negative effective permeabilities are supplied in two distinct frequency bands by magnetic resonators of different dimensions...
