Sharp trapped-mode resonances in planar metamaterials with a broken structural symmetry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report that a resonance response with a very high quality factor can be achieved in a planar metamaterial by introducing symmetry breaking in the shape of its structural elements, which enables excitation of trapped modes, i.e., modes that are weakly coupled to free space.

Simultaneous excitation of extremely high-Q-factor trapped and octupolar modes in terahertz metamaterials.
Achieving high-Q-factor resonances allows dramatic enhancement of performance of many plasmonic devices. However, the excitation of high-Q-factor resonance, especially multiple high-Q-factor resonances, has been a big challenge in traditional metamaterials due to the ohmic and radiation losses. Here, we experimentally demonstrate simultaneous excitation of double extremely sharp resonances in a...
متن کاملSharp Fano resonances in THz metamaterials.
We report on the occurrence of sharp Fano resonances in planar terahertz metamaterials by introducing a weak asymmetry in a two gap split ring resonator. As the structural symmetry of the metamaterial is broken a Fano resonance evolves in the low-frequency flank of the symmetric fundamental dipole mode resonance. This Fano resonance can have much higher Q factors than that known from single gap...

We show for the first time that a classical analogue of EIT can be realized in “zero thickness” planar metamaterials (meta-surfaces) resulting in substantial delay of propagating electromagnetic pulses. @2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3918) Metamaterials; (260.2030) Dispersion Here we demonstrate that a classical analogue of EIT can be implemented by appropriately patterning o...
متن کاملMagnetic Fano resonances by design in symmetry broken THz meta-foils
Magnetic Fano resonances in there-dimensional symmetry broken meta-foils at THz frequencies are theoretically and experimentally studied. Sharp Fano resonances occur due to the interference between different resonances and can be designed by choosing geometric parameters of the meta-foil. At the Fano resonances, the meta-foil supports antisymmetric modes, whereas, at the main resonance, only a ...
متن کاملLow-loss ultra-high-Q dark mode plasmonic Fano metamaterials.
We experimentally demonstrate a planar terahertz Fano metamaterial with an ultrahigh quality (Q) factor of 227. This is achieved by the excitation of the nonradiative dark modes by introducing a tiny asymmetry in the metamaterial structure. The extremely sharp quadrupole and Fano resonances are excited at normal incidence for orthogonal polarizations of the electric field. In order to capture t...
