Negative refraction in three-dimensional point-dipolelike polaritonic crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose two practical realizations of the point-dipole crystal, shown previously to be capable of negative refraction and other metamaterial and plasmonic properties. These are: an array of highly polarizable spheres, and the complementary array of spherical cavities in a highly polarizable medium. We study light propagation through these polaritonic crystals and show that they are capable of negative refraction, and can be constructed from available materials for experimental demonstrations at both microwave and optical frequencies. © 2010 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3500323

Investigation tow of negative refraction characters in the three different 2D phononic crystals
In this paper, a two-dimensional phononic crystal comprising of steel rod in water is investigated. Three cross- sections for this rod are considered using finite element method (EFM). We plot the equifrequency surface of the first band, because of equifrequency surface convex around the edge of the first Brillouin Zone, we guess the negative effective phononic mass and so negative refraction. ...
متن کاملNegative Refraction Angular Characterization in One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
BACKGROUND Photonic crystals are artificial structures that have periodic dielectric components with different refractive indices. Under certain conditions, they abnormally refract the light, a phenomenon called negative refraction. Here we experimentally characterize negative refraction in a one dimensional photonic crystal structure; near the low frequency edge of the fourth photonic bandgap....
متن کاملNegative refraction and left-handed behavior in two-dimensional photonic crystals
We systematically examine the conditions of obtaining left-handed ~LH! behavior in photonic crystals. Detailed studies of the phase and group velocities as well as the phase np and group ng refractive indices are given. The existence of negative refraction does not guarantee the existence of negative index of refraction and so LH behavior. A wedge type of experiment is suggested, which can unam...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach to Photonic Crystal Based Metamaterial Design
Photonic crystal design procedure for negative refraction has so far been based on trial and error. In this paper, for the first time, a novel and systematic design procedure based on physical and mathematical properties of photonic crystals is proposed to design crystal equi-frequency contours (EFCs) to produce negative refraction. The EFC design is performed by the help of rectangular stair-c...
متن کاملObservation of Negative Refraction and Focusing in Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate the negative refraction and focusing of electromagnetic (EM) waves by twodimensional photonic crystal slabs at microwave frequencies. The negative refraction is observed both for transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) polarized incident EM waves. Gaussian beam shifting method is used to verify the negative refractive index. The Subw...
