Resonant coupling to a dipole absorber inside a metamaterial: Anticrossing of the negative index response

Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology B

Smolev, Svyatoslav; Ku, Zahyun; Brueck, S.R.J.; Brener, Igal B.; Sinclair, Michael B.; Ten Eyck, Gregory A.; Langston, William L.; Basilio, Lorena I.

The authors experimentally demonstrate a resonant hybridization between the magnetic dipole structural resonance in the permeability of a fishnet metamaterial and an electric dipole material resonance in the permittivity of the dielectric spacer layer. The hybrid resonances in the permeability and the negative index response exhibit an anticrossing behavior. A simple analytic model and numerical simulations using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis are in excellent qualitative agreement with the experiment. © 2010 American Vacuum Society.

Transmissive infrared frequency selective surfaces and infrared antennas : final report for LDRD 105749

Davids, Paul D.; Cruz-Cabrera, A.A.; Basilio, Lorena I.; Wendt, J.R.; Kemme, S.A.; Johnson, William Arthur.; Loui, Hung L.

Plasmonic structures open up new opportunities in photonic devices, sometimes offering an alternate method to perform a function and sometimes offering capabilities not possible with standard optics. In this LDRD we successfully demonstrated metal coatings on optical surfaces that do not adversely affect the transmission of those surfaces at the design frequency. This technology could be applied as an RF noise blocking layer across an optical aperture or as a method to apply an electric field to an active electro-optic device without affecting optical performance. We also demonstrated thin optical absorbers using similar patterned surfaces. These infrared optical antennas show promise as a method to improve performance in mercury cadmium telluride detectors. Furthermore, these structures could be coupled with other components to lead to direct rectification of infrared radiation. This possibility leads to a new method for infrared detection and energy harvesting of infrared radiation.

Analysis of electromagnetic scattering by nearly periodic structures: an LDRD report

Jorgenson, Roy E.; Basilio, Lorena I.; Johnson, William Arthur.; Warne, Larry K.; Peters, D.W.

In this LDRD we examine techniques to analyze the electromagnetic scattering from structures that are nearly periodic. Nearly periodic could mean that one of the structure's unit cells is different from all the others--a defect. It could also mean that the structure is truncated, or butted up against another periodic structure to form a seam. Straightforward electromagnetic analysis of these nearly periodic structures requires us to grid the entire structure, which would overwhelm today's computers and the computers in the foreseeable future. In this report we will examine various approximations that allow us to continue to exploit some aspects of the structure's periodicity and thereby reduce the number of unknowns required for analysis. We will use the Green's Function Interpolation with a Fast Fourier Transform (GIFFT) to examine isolated defects both in the form of a source dipole over a meta-material slab and as a rotated dipole in a finite array of dipoles. We will look at the numerically exact solution of a one-dimensional seam. In order to solve a two-dimensional seam, we formulate an efficient way to calculate the Green's function of a 1d array of point sources. We next formulate ways of calculating the far-field due to a seam and due to array truncation based on both array theory and high-frequency asymptotic methods. We compare the high-frequency and GIFFT results. Finally, we use GIFFT to solve a simple, two-dimensional seam problem.

Capacitance and effective area of flush monopole probes

Basilio, Lorena I.; Warne, Larry K.; Johnson, William Arthur.; Higgins, Matthew B.; Lehr, J.M.

Approximate formulas are constructed and numerical simulations are carried out for electric field derivative probes that have the form of flush mounted monopoles. Effects such as rounded edges are included. A method is introduced to make results from two-dimensional conformal mapping analyses accurately apply to the three-dimensional axisymmetric probe geometry
