Experimental verification of reversed Cherenkov radiation in left-handed metamaterial.

چکیده
By using a phased electromagnetic dipole array to model a moving charged particle, we experimentally verified a reversed Cherenkov radiation in the left-handed media in the frequency range from 8.1 to 9.5 GHz. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of new types of particle detectors and radiation generators.

Observation of the reversed Cherenkov radiation
Reversed Cherenkov radiation is the exotic electromagnetic radiation that is emitted in the opposite direction of moving charged particles in a left-handed material. Reversed Cherenkov radiation has not previously been observed, mainly due to the absence of both suitable all-metal left-handed materials for beam transport and suitable couplers for extracting the reversed Cherenkov radiation sign...

متن کاملReversed Cherenkov emission of terahertz waves from an ultrashort laser pulse in a sandwich structure with nonlinear core and left-handed cladding.
We propose a scheme for an experimental verification of the reversed Cherenkov effect in left-handed media. The scheme uses optical-to-terahertz conversion in a planar sandwichlike structure that consists of a nonlinear core cladded with a material that exhibits left-handedness at terahertz frequencies. The focused into a line femtosecond laser pulse propagates in the core and emits Cherenkov w...
متن کاملCoherent Cherenkov-Cyclotron Radiation Excited by an Electron Beam in a Metamaterial Waveguide.
An electron beam passing through a metamaterial structure is predicted to generate reversed Cherenkov radiation, an unusual and potentially very useful property. We present an experimental test of this phenomenon using an intense electron beam passing through a metamaterial loaded waveguide. Power levels of up to 5 MW are observed in backward wave modes at a frequency of 2.40 GHz using a one mi...
متن کاملFlipping Photons Backward: Reversed Cherenkov Radiation Inspired by Metamaterials
Charged particles traveling through a conventional medium at a speed greater than the speed of light in the medium produce Cherenkov radiation in the forward directions, which is useful for particle identification and counting. Newly designed metamaterial, with their negative index of refraction, flips the radiated photons backward and thus readily separates the radiation from the emitting part...
