Near-infrared surface plasmon polariton dispersion control with hyperbolic metamaterials.
We demonstrate experimentally signatures and dispersion control of surface plasmon polaritons from 1 to 1.8 µm using periodic multilayer metallo-dielectric hyperbolic metamaterials. The fabricated structures are comprised of smooth films with very low metal filling factor. The measured dispersion properties of these hyperbolic metamaterials agree well with calculations using transfer matrix, fi...
متن کاملGuided mode caused by silicon nanopillar array for light emission enhancement in color-converting LED.
Plasmonic metallic nanostructures have been demonstrated an effective way to enhance the light emission efficiency in LEDs. Here, we propose a design of white LEDs that combining dielectric silicon nanopillar array in the color-converting layer. By investigating theoretically the guided mode caused by the nanopillar array-waveguide system, we demonstrate that the silicon nanopillar arrays enabl...
متن کاملOptical field enhancement in nanoscale slot waveguides of hyperbolic metamaterials.
Nanoscale slot waveguides of hyperbolic metamaterials are proposed and demonstrated for achieving large optical field enhancement. The dependence of the enhanced electric field within the air slot on waveguide mode coupling and permittivity tensors of hyperbolic metamaterials is analyzed both numerically and analytically. Optical intensity in the metamaterial slot waveguide can be more than 25 ...
متن کاملMetamaterials and Transformation Optics for Single-photon Emitters
We have experimentally demonstrated the broadband enhancement of single-photon emission from nanodiamond NV centers coupled to planar multilayer metamaterial with hyperbolic dispersion. A tapered metamaterial waveguide for efficient outcoupling of high-k metamaterial modes has been numerically studied and fabricated. Introduction: The major thrust of research in quantum photonics is to build qu...
متن کاملEffects of local fields on spontaneous emission in dielectric media
The local-field renormalization of the spontaneous emission rate in a dielectric is explicitly obtained from a fully microscopic quantum-electrodynamical, many-body derivation of Langevin-Bloch operator equations for two-level atoms embedded in an absorptive and dispersive, linear dielectric host. We find that the dielectric local-field enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate is smaller th...
