Mid-Infrared waveguides and negative refraction with anisotropic metamaterials

We propose two metamaterial waveguides, operating in the mid-IR, which would display negative refraction. The first waveguide is a metallic strip incorporating quantum wells, whereas the second is a dielectric waveguide which incorporates quantum wells. The negative refraction of both waveguides occurs around the intersubband transition (ISBT) of the quantum wells and is dependent upon the 2D concentration of electron within the wells; these materials could be grown by conventional semiconductor technology (MBE) and the electron concentration within the wells controlled externally by electric …

Three-Dimensional Nanotransmission Lines at Optical Frequencies: A Recipe for Broadband Negative-Refraction Optical Metamaterials

Here we apply the optical nanocircuit concepts to design and analyze in detail a three-dimensional (3-D) plasmonic nanotransmission line network that may act as a negative-refraction broadband metamaterial at infrared and optical frequencies. After discussing the heuristic concepts at the basis of our theory, we show full-wave analytical results of the expected behavior of such materials, which show increased bandwidth and relative robustness to losses. The possibility and constraints of getting a 3-D fully isotropic response is also explored and conditions for minimal losses and increased ban…

Group theoretical description of artificial magnetic metamaterials utilized for negative index of refraction

Group theoretical methods are used to determine the electromagnetic properties of artificial magnetic meta-materials, based solely upon the symmetries of the underlying constituent particles. Point groups for such materials are determined. From the transformation properties of an electromagnetic (EM) basis under symmetries of the particles, it is possible to determine, (i) the EM modes of the particles, (ii) the form of constitutive relations (iii) magneto-optical response of a meta-material or lack thereof. These methods are shown to be useful for determination of the isotropic or bi-anisotro…

Ultra low-loss, isotropic 2D optical negative-index metamaterial based on hybrid metal-semiconductor nanowires

In the past few years, many of the fascinating and previously almost unconceivable properties predicted for those novel, artificial, man-made materials, so called metamaterials, were demonstrated to be not only a tangible reality, but a very useful one. However, plenty of the best achievements in that newly discovered field are far from having a direct translation to the, in many aspects more interesting, high frequency range, without being burdened not only by technological difficulties, but also conceptual ones. Of particular importance within the realm of optical metamaterials having a nega…

Metallo-dielectric core-shell nanospheres as building blocks for optical 3D isotropic negative-index metamaterials

Materials showing electromagnetic properties that are not attainable in naturally occurring media, the so called metamaterials, have been lately, and still are, among the most active fields in optical and materials physics and engineering. Among those properties, one of the most attractive is the sub-diffraction resolving capability predicted for media having index of refraction of -1. Here we propose a fully 3D, isotropic metamaterial with strong electric and magnetic responses in the optical regime, based on spherical metallo-dielectric core-shell nanospheres. The magnetic response stems fro…

Does Optical Anisotropy Lead to Negative Refraction at an Interface?

This is a comment inspired by recently published results [Y. Zhang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 157404 (2003)] that introduced the name "amphoteric refraction" for the fact that at the interface with an optically anisotropic material there can be a range of incidence angles for which the component of the Poynting vector parallel to the interface changes sign upon refraction. The latter effect is a well-known consequence of optical anisotropy, but it was described as a new negative refraction phenomenon that can be put in the same class as the negative refraction observed at an interface with a…
