Bianisotropic negative-index metamaterial embedded in a symmetric medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 materials. © 2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 160.3918, 220.4241, 350.3618, 350.4238.

Negative-index bianisotropic photonic metamaterial fabricated by direct laser writing and silver shadow evaporation.
We present the blueprint for a novel negative-index metamaterial. This structure is fabricated via three-dimensional two-photon direct laser writing and silver shadow evaporation. The comparison of measured linear optical spectra with theory shows good agreement and reveals a negative real part of the refractive index at around 3.85 microm wavelength -- despite the fact that the metamaterial st...
متن کاملNegative refraction, negative phase velocity, and counterposition in bianisotropic metamaterials with chirality
The planewave response of bianisotropic materials generally cannot be characterized by a single scalar index, as directionality of energy flow and multiple wavevectors need to be considered. This is especially significant for bianisotropic metamaterials which support negative refraction, negative phase velocity, and counterposition. By means of a numerical example based on a commonly–studied bi...
متن کاملDetermination of the effective constitutive parameters of bianisotropic metamaterials from reflection and transmission coefficients.
We propose a method to retrieve the effective constitutive parameters of a slab of bianisotropic metamaterial from reflection and transmission coefficients (or scattering parameters). In our retrieval method, only the scattering parameters in one propagation direction are used. Analytical inversion equations are derived in order to retrieve the effective parameters of the permittivity, permeabi...
متن کاملRefraction at the Interface of a Lossy Metamaterial
The refraction phenomenon at the interface of an ordinary material and a lossy metamaterial has been investigated. For oblique incidence on the lossy metamaterial, the planes of constant amplitude of the refracted wave are parallel to the interface and the plane of constant phases make a real angle with the interface (real refraction angle). The real refraction angle and hence, the real refract...
متن کاملTightly coupled tripole conductor pairs as constituents for a planar 2D-isotropic negative refractive index metamaterial.
A metamaterial, arranged by stacking layers of planar constituents suitably shaped to be responsive to arbitrarily linearly polarized incident waves is here shown to exhibit 2D-isotropic effective negative refractive index (NRI). The general concept underlying this metamaterial design consists of closely pairing two metallic particles to accomplish, as a result of their tight coupling, both sym...
