Superluminal and stopped light due to mode coupling in confined hyperbolic metamaterial waveguides
Anisotropic metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion can be used to design waveguides with unusual properties. We show that, in contrast to planar waveguides, geometric confinement leads to coupling of ordinary (forward) and extraordinary (backward) modes and formation of hybrid waveguided modes, which near the crossing point may exhibit slow, stopped or superluminal behavior accompanied by ver...
متن کاملFinite-width plasmonic waveguides with hyperbolic multilayer cladding.
Engineering plasmonic metamaterials with anisotropic optical dispersion enables us to tailor the properties of metamaterial-based waveguides. We investigate plasmonic waveguides with dielectric cores and multilayer metal-dielectric claddings with hyperbolic dispersion. Without using any homogenization, we calculate the resonant eigenmodes of the finite-width cladding layers, and find agreement ...
متن کاملTerahertz composite right-left handed transmission-line metamaterial waveguides
We report terahertz metamaterial waveguides based on the concept of composite right/left-handed transmission-lines. The waveguides are implemented in a metal-insulator-metal geometry fabricated with spin-coated Benzocyclobutene and contact photolithography. Angle-resolved reflection spectroscopy shows strong resonant absorption features corresponding to both right-handed and left-handed (backwa...
متن کاملPlasmonic waveguides cladded by hyperbolic metamaterials.
Strongly anisotropic media with hyperbolic dispersion can be used for claddings of plasmonic waveguides (PWs). In order to analyze the fundamental properties of such waveguides, we analytically study 1D waveguides arranged from a hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) in a HMM-Insulator-HMM (HIH) structure. We show that HMM claddings give flexibility in designing the properties of HIH waveguides. Our co...
متن کاملElectric-field-coupled resonators as metamaterial loadings for waveguide miniaturization
We show that a rectangular metallic waveguide loaded with metamaterial elements consisting of electric-field-coupled (ELC) resonators placed at the sidewalls can operate well below the cutoff frequency of the respective unloaded waveguide. For the example considered of a waveguide with square cross-section and original TE-mode cut-off frequency at 16.67 GHz (under no loading), a TE-mode passban...
