Optoelectronic apparatus enabled by dielectric metamaterials

Title: Optoelectronic apparatus enabled by dielectric metamaterials

An array of dielectric resonators is formed on the substrate of an optoelectronic device. Each resonator includes an active medium having an optical transition that is operative in a process of photodetection or photoemission. The dielectric resonators in the array are each dimensioned to provide a resonance that lies substantially at the frequency of the optical transition.

Resonant dielectric metamaterials

Patent Loui, Hung ; Carroll, James ; Clem, Paul G ; Sinclair, Michael B

A resonant dielectric metamaterial comprises a first and a second set of dielectric scattering particles (e.g., spheres) having different permittivities arranged in a cubic array. The array can be an ordered or randomized array of particles. The resonant dielectric metamaterials are low-loss 3D isotropic materials with negative permittivity and permeability. Such isotropic double negative materials offer polarization and direction independent electromagnetic wave propagation.

Metal-dielectric hybrid surfaces as integrated optoelectronic interfaces

Patent Narasimhan, Vijay K. ; Hymel, Thomas M. ; Lai, Ruby A. ; Cui, Yi

An optoelectronic device has a hybrid metal-dielectric optoelectronic interface including an array of nanoscale dielectric resonant elements (e.g., nanopillars), and a metal film disposed between the dielectric resonant elements and below a top surface of the resonant elements such that the dielectric resonant elements protrude through the metal film. The device may also include an anti-reflection coating. The device may further include a metal film layer on each of the dielectric resonant elements.
