Title: Vertically oriented metamaterial broadband linear polariser

Abstract

Control and manipulation of polarization is an important topic for imaging and light matter interactions. In the infrared regime, the large wavelengths make wire grid polarizers a viable option, as it is possible to create periodic arrays of metallic wires at that scale. The recent advent of metamaterials has spurred an increase in non-traditional polarizer motifs centred around more complicated repeat units, which potentially provide more functionality. In this paper we explore the use of two-dimensional (2D) arrays of single and back-to-back vertically oriented cross dipoles arranged in a cubic in-plane silicon matrix. Here, we show that both single and back-to-back versions have higher rejection ratios and larger bandwidths than either wire grid polarizers or 2D arrays of linear dipoles.

Broadband electrically tunable VO ₂ ‑Metamaterial terahertz switch with suppressed reflection

Journal Article Schalch, Jacob S. ; Chi, Yaojia ; He, Yulian ; ... - Microwave and Optical Technology Letters

Abstract Devices designed to dynamically control the transmission, reflection, and absorption of terahertz (THz) radiation are essential for the development of a broad range of THz technologies. A viable approach utilizes materials which undergo an insulator‐to‐metal transition (IMT), switching from transmissive to reflective upon becoming metallic. However, for many applications, it is undesirable to have spurious reflections that can scatter incident light and induce noise to the system. We present an electrically actuated, broadband THz switch which transitions from a transparent state with low reflectivity, to an absorptive state for which both the reflectivity and transmission are strongly suppressed.

Three-dimensional cut wire pair behavior and controllable bianisotropic response in vertically oriented meta-atoms

Journal Article Burckel, D. Bruce ; Adomanis, Bryan M. ; Sinclair, Michael B. ; ... - Optics Express

This paper investigates three-dimensional cut wire pair (CWP) behavior in vertically oriented meta-atoms. We first analyze CWP metamaterial inclusions using full-wave electromagnetic simulations. The scattering behavior of the vertical CWP differs substantially from that of the planar version of the same structure. In particular, we show that the vertical CWP supports a magnetic resonance that is solely excited by the incident magnetic field. This is in stark contrast to the bianisotropic resonant excitation of in-plane CWPs. We further show that this CWP behavior can occur in other vertical metamaterial resonators, such as back-to-back linear dipoles and back-to-back split ring resonatorsmore »« less

Broadband Metamaterial Absorbers

Journal Article Yu, Peng ; Besteiro, Lucas V. ; Huang, Yongjun ; ... - Advanced Optical Materials

Abstract The recent rise of metamaterials opens new opportunities for absorbers due to their designed electrodynamic properties and effects, allowing the creation of materials with effective values of permittivity and permeability that are not available in naturally occurring materials. Since their first experimental demonstration in 2008, recent literature has offered great advances in metamaterial perfect absorbers (MMPAs) operating at frequencies from radio to optical. Broadband absorbers are indispensable in thermophotovoltaics, photodetection, bolometry, and manipulation of mechanical resonances. Although it is easy to obtain MMPAs with single band or multiband, achieving broadband MMPA (BMMPA) remains a challenge due to the intrinsicallymore »« less

Nonlinear terahertz devices utilizing semiconducting plasmonic metamaterials

Journal Article Seren, Huseyin R. ; Zhang, Jingdi ; Keiser, George R. ; ... - Light, Science & Applications

The development of responsive metamaterials has enabled the realization of compact tunable photonic devices capable of manipulating the amplitude, polarization, wave vector and frequency of light. Integration of semiconductors into the active regions of metallic resonators is a proven approach for creating nonlinear metamaterials through optoelectronic control of the semiconductor carrier density. Metal-free subwavelength resonant semiconductor structures offer an alternative approach to create dynamic metamaterials. We present InAs plasmonic disk arrays as a viable resonant metamaterial at terahertz frequencies. Importantly, InAs plasmonic disks exhibit a strong nonlinear response arising from electric field-induced intervalley scattering, resulting in a reduced carrier mobilitymore »« less

Ultrathin triple-band polarization-insensitive wide-angle compact metamaterial absorber

Journal Article Shang, Shuai ; Yang, Shizhong ; Tao, Lu ; ... - AIP Advances

In this study, the design, realization, and characterization of an ultrathin triple-band polarization-insensitive wide-angle metamaterial absorber are reported. The metamaterial absorber comprises a periodic array of modified six-fold symmetric snowflake-shaped resonators with strip spiral line load, which is printed on a dielectric substrate backed by a metal ground plane. It is shown that the absorber exhibits three distinct near-unity absorption peaks, which are distributed across C, X, Ku bands, respectively. Owing to the six-fold symmetry, the absorber is insensitive to the polarization of the incident radiation. In addition, the absorber shows excellent absorption performance over wide oblique incident angles formore »« less
