Artificial Dielectrics Having Refractive Indices Less than Unity
نویسنده
چکیده
Two types of artificial dielectric are examined; the first consists of an array of conducting rods and the second of a set of parallel conducting plates having perforations in the form of circular holes. Both these media are designed to operate for an incident electromagnetic wave, which is polarized so that its electric field is parallel to the conducting elements. It is found that the effective refractive index of such media is less than unity. An analysis of the propagation within these media gives results from which the effective refractive index may be calculated. The reflection which occurs at the interface between the medium and free space is also investigated.

Digest of an Institution Monograph Artificial Dielectrics Having Refractive Indices Less than Unity
The term "artificial dielectric" is conveniently applied to any arrangement of conducting obstacles which affects the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a way similar to a solid dielectric. The essential property of a solid dielectric from the point of view of propagation is that the phase velocity within the dielectric is different from the free-space value. A quantitative indication of t...
متن کاملTerahertz Artificial Dielectric Lens
We have designed, fabricated, and experimentally characterized a lens for the THz regime based on artificial dielectrics. These are man-made media that mimic properties of naturally occurring dielectric media, or even manifest properties that cannot generally occur in nature. For example, the well-known dielectric property, the refractive index, which usually has a value greater than unity, can...

In this paper photonic band gaps of 1D photonic crystal are compared by using transfer matrix method and Fresnel coefficients method. In Fresnel coefficients method, the refractive indices of each layer and incidence light angle to the surface are used for calculating Fresnel coefficients, and then the necessary and sufficient condition for a 100% reflection from the surface of double layer die...
متن کاملMultifaceted terahertz applications of parallel-plate waveguide: TE1 mode
Presented is a review of recent work by the authors in which the lowestorder transverse-electric (TE1) mode of a parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) is used for terahertz (THz) applications. This work adds a new dimension to the multitude of diverse THz applications made possible by PPWGs. Using the TE1 mode, demonstration is presented of an ultra-low loss THz waveguide, a highly sensitive microflu...
متن کاملEffective optical constants in stratified metal-dielectric metameterial.
Effective optical constants of stratified metal-dielectric metameterial are presented. The effective constants are determined by the two-complex reflectivity method (TCRM). The TCRM reveals the full components of the effective permittivity and permeability tensors and indicates the remarkable anisotropy of metallic and dielectric components below the effective plasma frequency. On the other han...
