Engineering the point spread function of layered metamaterials
Layered metal-dielectric metamaterials have filtering properties both in the frequency domain and in the spatial frequency domain. Engineering their spatial filtering response is a way of designing structures with specific diffraction properties for such applications as sub-diffraction imaging, supercollimation, or optical signal processing at the nanoscale. In this paper we review the recent p...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional chalcogenide nanoplates as tunable metamaterials via chemical intercalation.
New plasmonic materials with tunable properties are in great need for nanophotonics and metamaterials applications. Here we present two-dimensional layered, metal chalcogenides as tunable metamaterials that feature both dielectric photonic and plasmonic modes across a wide spectral range from the infrared to ultraviolet. The anisotropic layered structure allows intercalation of organic molecule...
متن کاملThe effect of gain and absorption on surface plasmons in metal nanoparticles
The compensation of loss in metal by gain in interfacing dielectric has been demonstrated in a mixture of aggregated silver nanoparticles and rhodamine 6G dye. An increase of the quality factor of surface plasmon (SP) resonance was evidenced by the sixfold enhancement of Rayleigh scattering. The compensation of plasmonic losses with gain enables a host of new applications for metallic nanostruc...
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 کاملCoupling effect of magnetic polariton in perforated metal/dielectric layered metamaterials and its influence on negative refraction transmission.
The optical propagation properties and magnetic polariton behaviors in perforated metal/dielectric layered structures are numerically investigated at near-IR region. A developed three-metal-layer (TML) structure is specially inspected as a simple case. Strong coupling effect of magnetic polariton is discovered in this system, which explains why TML structure reveals better negative-refraction p...
