Double - period zero - order metal gratings as effective selective absorbers
نویسنده
چکیده
The electromagnetic response of a zero-order metal grating having a primary deep short-period component and a shallow long-period component is modeled. It is found that such a metal grating has an unusual surface-plasmon-polariton band structure and exhibits strong selective absorption of incident radiation. This opens up potential for designing metal surfaces with specific optical response features.

Mystery of the double limit in homogenization of finitely or perfectly conducting periodic structures.
We show that the difference in the effective medium properties of perfectly or finitely conducting short-period gratings is because for finitely conducting gratings it is possible to completely homogenize the electromagnetic field vector components, contrary to perfectly conducting gratings. As a consequence, for aluminum in the microwave domain, two possible effective media can be found, depen...
متن کاملEfficient Thermal-Light Interconversions Based on Optical Topological Transition in the Metal-Dielectric Multilayered Metamaterials.
Metal-dielectric multilayered metamaterials are proposed to work as wideband spectral-selective emitters/absorbers due to the topological change in isofrequency contour around the epsilon-near-zero point. By setting the transition at the border between the visible and IR ranges, the metal-dielectric multilayered metamaterials become good absorbers/emitters for visible light and good reflectors ...
متن کاملEffective grating theory for resonance domain surface-relief diffraction gratings.
An effective grating model, which generalizes effective-medium theory to the case of resonance domain surface-relief gratings, is presented. In addition to the zero order, it takes into account the first diffraction order, which obeys the Bragg condition. Modeling the surface-relief grating as an effective grating with two diffraction orders provides closed-form analytical relationships between...
متن کاملSecond-order motion discrimination by feature-tracking
When a plaid pattern (the sum of two high spatial frequency gratings oriented +/- 84 degrees from vertical) jumps horizontally by 3/8 of its spatial period its contrast envelope, a second-order pattern, moves in the opposite direction to its luminance waveform. Observers report that the pattern moves in the direction of the contrast envelope when the jumps are repeated at intervals of more than...
متن کاملSurface emitting terahertz quantum cascade laser with a double-metal waveguide.
We investigate the implementation of surface emission via a second order grating in terahertz quantum cascade lasers with double-metal waveguides. Absorbing edge structures are designed to enforce anti-reflecting boundary conditions, which ensure distributed feedback in the cavity. The grating duty cycle is chosen in order to maximize slope efficiency. Fabricated devices demonstrate surface emi...
