Title: Scattering of electromagnetic waves by cylinder inside uniaxial hyperbolic medium

Abstract

We study electromagnetic wave scattering inside a hyperbolic medium by a circular cylinder. The hyperbolic medium’s unique properties result in scattering behaviors that differ greatly from scattering by the same cylinder inside a positive isotropic medium. Incident wave polarization is preserved for all angles of incidence and the scattered waves have the same polarization in the far-field region. TM-polarized plane wave scattering is highly anisotropic. At any given frequency, the dielectric cylinder’s scattering properties can vary from the Rayleigh regime, to the resonant regime, to the evanescent regime, by simply changing the angle of incidence. At a given angle, as a function of frequency, the scattering efficiency exhibits narrow resonant features associated with Fano interference. We also show that a magnetic cylinder’s scattering can be suppressed. All of these effects stem from the hyperbolic medium’s properties, as well as point to the interesting opportunities of tailoring scattering properties by controlling the surrounding medium.

Optical properties of transiently-excited semiconductor hyperbolic metamaterials

Journal Article Campione, Salvatore ; Luk, Ting S. ; Liu, Sheng ; ... - Optical Materials Express

Ultrafast optical excitation of photocarriers has the potential to transform undoped semiconductor superlattices into semiconductor hyperbolic metamaterials (SHMs). In this paper, we investigate the optical properties associated with such ultrafast topological transitions. We first show reflectance, transmittance, and absorption under TE and TM plane wave incidence. In the unpumped state, the superlattice exhibits a frequency region with high reflectance (>80%) and a region with low reflectance (<1%) for both TE and TM polarizations over a wide range of incidence angles. In contrast, in the photopumped state, the reflectance for both frequencies and polarizations is very low (<1%) for a similarmore »« less

Modes of a nonlinear planar waveguide with a dielectric layer immersed in a hyperbolic medium

Journal Article Lyashko, E. I. ; Maimistov, A. I. - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The guided waves of a symmetric planar waveguide formed by an isotropic dielectric placed in a hyperbolic medium and having a cubic-nonlinear response are studied theoretically. The optical axis of the hyperbolic medium is directed along the normal to the interfaces between the media. If the permittivity of the waveguide core exceeds the main permittivity for an extraordinary wave in the hyperbolic medium, then each TM mode is characterised by two cut-off frequencies. Dispersion relations for these modes are found in the case of focusing and defocusing core media. The number of the modes possible at a given frequency dependsmore »« less

Plasmonic modes and extinction properties of a random nanocomposite cylinder

Journal Article Moradi, Afshin - Physics of Plasmas

We study the properties of surface plasmon-polariton waves of a random metal-dielectric nanocomposite cylinder, consisting of bulk metal embedded with dielectric nanoparticles. We use the Maxwell-Garnett formulation to model the effective dielectric function of the composite medium and show that there exist two surface mode bands. We investigate the extinction properties of the system, and obtain the dependence of the extinction spectrum on the nanoparticles’ shape and concentration as well as the cylinder radius and the incidence angle for both TE and TM polarization.

Effect of orientation on the directional and hemispherical emissivity of hyperbolic metamaterials

Journal Article Wu, Xiaohu ; Fu, Ceji ; Zhang, Zhuomin M. - International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer

Here, we investigate the spectral directional and hemispherical emissivity of hyperbolic metamaterials with arbitrary orientation of the optic axis. The 4 x 4 matrix method is combined with coordinate rotational transforms to circumvent projection operations. The two hyperbolic bands of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are examined in detail to elucidate the influence of the orientation of the optic axis on the emissivities for both transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) waves. The results show that the orientation of the optic axis can greatly affect the hemispherical emissivity in the two hyperbolic bands of hBN. The directional emissivity varies periodicallymore »« less

Hyperbolic-metamaterial antennas for broadband enhancement of dipole emission to free space

Journal Article Valagiannopoulos, C. A. ; Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Texas at Austin, 1616 Guadalupe St., Texas 78712 ; Mirmoosa, M. S. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Dipole emitters used in nano optics and nanophotonics (e.g., fluorescent molecules or quantum dots) are weak radiators and thus detecting the radiation of a single emitter gets possible only if it is significantly enhanced. For this enhancement, one often utilizes resonant nanoantennas (Purcell's effect); this method, however, requires the exact knowledge of source location and radiation frequency which constitute a significant drawback. One known possibility for broadband location-insensitive radiation enhancement is to use a layer of the so-called hyperbolic metamaterial. However, the enhanced radiated energy is mainly directed into the volume of the lossy medium, where it is lost tomore »« less
