Modal interactions in resonant metamaterial slabs with losses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modal phenomena in planar metamaterial structures modeled by simple scalar frequency-dependent constitutive parameters are investigated. Modal interactions and modal transformations are found in frequency ranges close to the medium resonances when material losses are introduced and their level is continuously varied through certain critical values. Numerical results for TE and TM modes of a grounded metamaterial slab are reported in the form of dispersion curves and pole loci in the complex wavenumber plane for both surfaceand leaky-wave propagation regimes. Useful insights into the reported results are provided through the identification of the branch-point singularities in the complex frequency plane that govern the modal interactions. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

Parity-time symmetric nonlocal metasurfaces: Focusing and imaging through balanced loss and gain
Light focusing and imaging represent some of the oldest applications of optics. Despite centuries of developments, however, conventional optical systems still suffer from aberrations of different types and are limited to plane-to-plane imaging, issues that are inherent to the conventional laws of reflection and refraction [1]. Metamaterials and metasurfaces have offered a route to partially ove...
متن کاملGeneral Class of Metamaterial Transformation Slabs
In this paper, we apply transformation-based optics to the derivation of a general class of transparent metamaterial slabs. By means of analytical and numerical full-wave studies, we explore their imagedisplacement/ formation capabilities, and establish intriguing connections with configurations already known in the literature. Starting from these revisitations, we develop a number of nontrivia...
متن کاملA New Circular Polarization Metamaterial Ferrite Phase Shifter
In this paper, a new X band Metamaterial (MTM) based ferrite phase shifter is presented. The phase shifter is excited by circular polarized wave base on combination of TE10 and TE01 modes in a square waveguide. In order to synthesize negative refractive index metamaterial (NIM), negative permeability of ferrite slabs in extraordinary mode is mixed with the negative permitivity of printed period...
متن کاملQ-based design equations for resonant metamaterials and experimental validation
Practical design parameters of resonant metamaterials, such as loss tangent, are derived in terms of the quality factor Q of the resonant effective medium permeability or permittivity. Through electromagnetic simulations of loopbased resonant particles, it is also shown that the Q of the effective medium response is essentially equal to the Q of an individual resonant particle. Thus, by measuri...
متن کاملDynamic behaviour of concrete containing aggregate resonant frequency
The need to design blast resistant civilian structures has arisen due to aggressor attacks on many civilian structures around the world. Achieving vibration and wave attenuation with locally resonant metamaterials has attracted a great deal of consideration due to their frequency dependent negative effective mass density. In this paper, metaconcrete, a new material with exceptional properties i...
