Quantum Left-handed metamaterial with superconducting quantum interference devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
A scheme of left-handed metamaterial (LHM) composed of superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) and conducting wires is proposed. The permeability of a probe field can be smoothly tuned over a wide range with another electromagnetic (coupling) field due to quantum interference effect. Similar to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of atomic systems, the absorption of the probe field can be strongly suppressed even in the case of negative permeability. There are two passbands of negative refractive index with low loss, which can be tuned with the coupling field.

متن کاملActive terahertz quantum-cascade composite right/left-handed metamaterial
We report the demonstration of a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial waveguide for terahertz quantum-cascade (QC) lasers. By incorporating gap capacitors ( 250 nm) in the top metallization of a metal-metal waveguide operating in a higher order lateral mode, we have realized a CRLH transmission line that supports traveling modes with negative effective phase indices (i.e., left-hande...

(SQUIDs) Joey Lambert December 8, 2008 Josephson junctions are interesting devices that provide a great deal of physics to research, both experimental and theoretical. The device was first proposed by Brian Josephson in short concise paper in 1962 [1], which predicts a resistance-less supercurrent that passes through the very thin insulating layer in between two macroscopic size superconductors...
متن کاملTamm states in one dimensional photonic crystals containing left - handed materials
We present a theoretical study of electromagnetic surface waves localized at an interface separating a conventional uniform medium and a semi-infinite 1-D photonic crystal made of alternate left-handed metamaterial and right-handed material which we refer to as left-handed photonic crystal. We find novel type of surface mode’s structure, the so-called surface Tamm states and demonstrate that th...
