Tunable transmission and bistability in left-handed band-gap structures
We study the defect-induced nonlinear transmission of a periodic structure created by alternating slabs of two materials with positive and negative refractive index. We demonstrate bistable switching and tunable nonlinear transmission in an unconventional band gap that corresponds to the vanishing average refractive index, and compare the observed effects for two different types of band gaps. ©...
متن کاملOptical Bistability in Periodic Nonlinear Structures Containing Left Handed Materials
We study the transmission properties of a nonlinear periodic structure containing alternating slabs of a nonlinear right-handed material and a linear left-handed material. We find that the transmission associated with the zero-averaged refractive-index gap exhibits a bistable characteristic that is relatively insensitive to incident angles. This is in contrast to the nonlinear behavior of the u...
متن کاملComplete band gaps in one-dimensional left-handed periodic structures.
Artificially fabricated structures with periodically modulated parameters such as photonic crystals offer novel ways of controlling the flow of light due to the existence of a range of forbidden frequencies associated with a photonic band gap. It is believed that modulation of the refractive index in all three spatial dimensions is required to open a complete band gap and prevent the propagatio...
متن کاملDefect modes and transmission properties of left-handed bandgap structures.
We analyze transmission of electromagnetic waves through a one-dimensional periodic layered structure consisting of slabs of a left-handed metamaterial and air. We derive the effective parameters of the metamaterial from a microscopic structure of wires and split-ring resonators possessing the left-handed characteristics in the microwave frequency range, and then study, by means of the transfer...
متن کاملMagnetically Tunable Ferrite-Dielectric Left-Handed Metamaterial
In this paper, a magnetically tunable metamaterial is proposed and studied. The metamaterial is based on the combination of ferrite sheets and dielectric rods. The tunable property is originated from the ferromagnetic resonance and electric response of dielectric rods. The retrieved electromagnetic parameters and transmission characteristic showed that by simultaneously inspiring the ferromagne...
