Bi-anisotropy of multiple-layer fishnet negative-index metamaterials due to angled sidewalls.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulation results of near infrared (100- to 200-THz) fishnet-structure negative-index metamaterials (NIMs) with single and multiple functional layers exhibit bi-anisotropy - inhomogeneous asymmetry - due to the presence of a sidewall-angle. The influence of sidewall-angle resulting from realistic fabrication processes is investigated through the retrieved effective parameters by both a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and a rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA).

Experimental demonstration of sidewall angle induced bianisotropy in multiple layer negative index metamaterials
The effect of a nonzero sidewall angle on the performance of multiple layer fishnet-structure one to three functional layers negative index metamaterials is evaluated experimentally. The fabrication-induced sidewall angle results in a bianisotropy inhomogeneous asymmetry that is significant at optical frequencies. Good agreement is obtained between the experimental transmission and reflectance ...
متن کاملInfluence of the substrate on negative index fishnet metamaterials
Article history: Received 7 April 2010 Received in revised form 28 June 2010 Accepted 30 June 2010 We analyze numerically the influence of the dielectric substrate on the optical response and effective macroscopic parameters of fishnet metamaterials. We show that the substrate can suppress the region of the negative refractive index due to the weakening of the gap plasmon associated with the ma...
متن کاملTheory of fishnet negative-index optical metamaterials.
We theoretically study fishnet metamaterials at optical frequencies. In contrast with earlier works, we provide a microscopic description by tracking the transversal and longitudinal flows of energy through the fishnet mesh composed of intersecting subwavelength plasmonic waveguides. The analysis is supported by a semianalytical model based on surface-plasmon coupled-mode equations, which provi...

متن کاملBianisotropic negative-index metamaterial embedded in a symmetric medium
In order to more clearly observe the bianisotropic effects due to fabrication-induced structural asymmetries in negative-index metamaterials based on a fishnet structure, it is necessary to measure the optical properties with symmetric substrate and superstrate bounding layers. This is accomplished in this report using an indexmatching fluid and identical substrate and superstrate glass materia...
