Nonreciprocal Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Ionized Gaseous Media
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonreciprocal propagation of electromagnetic waves in ionized gaseous media is discussed, and experimental observations are reported in this paper. The classical Faraday experiment in the optics of anisotropic media has suggested an analogous phenomenon at microwave frequencies. The anisotropic behavior of the free electron gas which is immersed in a magnetic field and subjected to an incident electromagnetic wave is determined. Guided microwave experiments were performed which contirm the theoretical predictions of nonreciprocal wave propagation in such ionized gases.

Theoretical Investigation on Propagation and Coupling of Nonreciprocal Electromagnetic Surface Waves
Electromagnetic wave propagation is usually reciprocal. However, in magneto-optical or gyromagnetic media, the propagation can be nonreciprocal. This effect has contributed to many important components in telecommunication systems, such as isolators and circulators. Recently, it has even been demonstrated that on the surface of magneto-optical or gyromagnetic media, electromagnetic waves can pr...
متن کاملNovel nonreciprocal materials based on magnetic photonic crystals
Magnetic photonic crystals are spatially periodic dielectric composites with at least one of the constitutive components being a magnetically polarized material. Magnetic polarization, either spontaneous or induced, is always associated with nonreciprocal circular birefringence (Faraday rotation), which can bring qualitatively new features to the electrodynamics of photonic crystals. If the geo...
متن کاملNonreciprocal Transverse Photonic Spin and Magnetization-Induced Electromagnetic Spin-Orbit Coupling
We present a formulation of electromagnetic spin-orbit coupling in magneto-optic media, and propose an alternative source of spin-orbit coupling to non-paraxial optics vortices. Our treatment puts forth a formulation of nonreciprocal transverse-spin angular-momentum-density shifts for evanescent waves in magneto-optic waveguide media. It shows that magnetization-induced electromagnetic spin-orb...
متن کاملA New Theorem Concerning Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves in Multilayered Metamaterial Spherical Structures
The proposed theorem in this paper is indicative of a kind of duality in the propagation of waves in the dual media of and in the spherical structures. Independent of wave frequency, the number of layers, their thickness, and the type of polarization, this theorem holds true in case of any change in any of these conditions. Theorem: Consider a plane wave incident on a multilayered spheric...
متن کاملOne-way extraordinary optical transmission and nonreciprocal spoof plasmons.
We introduce a concept of a nonreciprocal spoof surface plasmon: an electromagnetic wave supported by a structured conductor embedded in an asymmetric magneto-optical medium and exhibiting a nonreciprocal dispersion. It is demonstrated analytically and by first-principles electromagnetic simulations that, by breaking the time-reversal symmetry, nonreciprocal spoof surface plasmons enable a dram...
