英文摘要：

We consider Fabry-Perot cavity resonance in periodic stacks of anisotropic layers with misaligned in-plane anisotropy at the frequency close to a photonic band edge. We show that in-plane dielectric anisotropy can result in a dramatic increase in field intensity and group delay associated with the transmission resonance. The field enhancement appears to be proportional to forth degree of the number N of layers in the stack. By contrast, in common periodic stacks of isotropic layers, those effects are much weaker and proportional to N^2. Thus, the anisotropy allows to drastically reduce the size of the resonance cavity with similar performance. The key characteristic of the periodic arrays with the gigantic transmission resonance is that the dispersion curve omega(k)at the photonic band edge has the degenerate form Delta(omega) ~ Delta(k)^4, rather than the regular form Delta(omega) ~ Delta(k)^2. This can be realized in specially arranged stacks of misaligned anisotropic layers. The degenerate band edge cavity resonance with similar outstanding properties can also be realized in a waveguide environment, as well as in a linear array of coupled multimode resonators, provided that certain symmetry conditions are in place.

Frozen light in periodic stacks of anisotropic layers

We consider a plane electromagnetic wave incident on a periodic stack of dielectric layers. One of the alternating layers has an anisotropic refractive index with an oblique orientation of the principal axis relative to the normal to the layers. It was shown recently (A. Figotin and I. Vitebskiy, Phys. Rev. E68, 036609 2003) that an obliquely incident light, upon entering such a periodic stack, can be converted into an abnormal axially frozen mode with drastically enhanced amplitude and zero normal component of the group velocity. The stack reflectivity at this point can be very low, implying …

Slow wave resonance in periodic stacks of anisotropic layers

We consider transmission band edge resonance in periodic layered structures involving birefringent layers. Previously we have shown that the presence of birefringent layers with misaligned in-plane anisotropy can dramatically enhance the performance of the photonic-crystal Fabry-Perot resonator. It allows to reduce its size by an order of magnitude without compromising on its performance. The key characteristic of the enhanced photonic-crystal cavity is that its Bloch dispersion relation displays a degenerate photonic band edge, rather than only regular ones. This can be realized in specially …

Ultrathin Ultra-broadband Electro-Absorption Modulator based on Few-layer Graphene based Anisotropic Metamaterial

In this article, a few-layered graphene-dielectric multilayer (metamaterial) electro-optic modulator has been proposed in the mid and far infrared range that works on electro-absorption mechanism. Graphene, both mono layer and few layer, is an actively tunable optical material that allows control of inter-band and intra-band transition by tuning its chemical potential. Utilizing this unique feature of graphene, we propose a multilayer graphene dielectric stack where few layer graphene is preferred over mono layer graphene. Although the total thickness of the stack still remains in the nanomete…

Strongly Resonant Transmission of Electromagnetic Radiation in Periodic Anisotropic Layered Media

The electromagnetic dispersion in periodic layered media can be tailored and their resonant properties can be considerably improved by utilizing anisotropic materials. Periodic structures with a photonic band edge split into two parts, or so-called split band edge, exhibit superior resonant properties including exceptionally high Q-values of transmission resonances and nearly perfect impedance matching at the boundaries, even when the number of unit cells N is not large. A microwave transmission resonance with Q~220 is demonstrated in a periodic stack of form-birefringent layers with N=12 real…

Metamaterial Broadband Angular Selectivity

We demonstrate how broadband angular selectivity can be achieved with stacks of one-dimensionally periodic photonic crystals, each consisting of alternating isotropic layers and effective anisotropic layers, where each effective anisotropic layer is constructed from a multilayered metamaterial. We show that by simply changing the structure of the metamaterials, the selective angle can be tuned to a broad range of angles; and, by increasing the number of stacks, the angular transmission window can be made as narrow as desired. As a proof of principle, we realize the idea experimentally in the m…

Equivalence of reflection paths of light and Feynman paths in stacked metasurfaces

We show the existence of virtual polarization states during the interaction of modes in metasurface stacks. In support of our findings we experimentally realize a metasurface stack, consisting of an isotropic layer of nano-patches and an anisotropic layer of nano-wires. Utilizing an analogy to the interaction of electrons at junctions in mesoscopic electron transport via Feynman paths, we present a semi-analytical description of the modal interaction inside this stack. We then derive a series of all possible reflection paths light can take inside the metasurface stack.

Resonant Combinatorial Frequency Generation Induced by a PT-symmetric Periodic Layered Stack

The nonlinear interaction of waves in PT-symmetric periodic stacks with an embedded nonlinear anisotropic dielectric layer illuminated by plane waves of two tones is examined. The three-wave interaction technique is applied to study the nonlinear processes. It is shown that the intensity of the three-wave mixing process can be significantly enhanced in resonant cavities based on PT-symmetric periodic structures, especially as the pumping wave frequency is near the coherent perfect absorber-lasing resonances. The main mechanisms and properties of the combinatorial frequency generation and emiss…

Anisotropic optical response of arthopods's cuticle

The structure of the cuticle of arthropods consists of layers of microfilamentary chitin particles. The layers are stacked one on top of the other realizing a helical (Bouligand helix) pattern. This structure generates optical phenomena such as structural colors and birefringence that produce a metalic or iridescent appearance, polarization upon reflection and optical activity. We model the anisotropic optical responses of the cuticle of arthropods using the Photonic package to obtain the macroscopic dielectric tensor of a constitutive layer in the Bouligand helix. We find that its anisotropy …

ENZ materials and Anisotropy: Enhancing Nonlinear Optical Interactions at the Nanoscale in Metal/Conducting-Oxide Multilayer Stacks

Epsilon-near-zero materials are exceptional candidates for studying electrodynamics and nonlinear optical processes at the nanoscale. We demonstrate that by alternating a metal and a highly doped conducting-oxide, the epsilon-near-zero regime may be accessed resulting in an anisotropic, composite nanostructure that significantly enhances nonlinear interactions. Using two independent and different computation techniques we show that the structure can enhance the local field intensity by nearly two orders of magnitudes, in large part due to the onset of the effective anisotropy. The investigatio…

Hidden-symmetry-enforced nexus points of nodal lines in layer-stacked dielectric photonic crystals

It was recently demonstrated that the connectivities of bands emerging from zero frequency in dielectric photonic crystals are distinct from their electronic counterparts with the same space groups. We discover that, in an AB-layer-stacked photonic crystal composed of anisotropic dielectrics, the unique photonic band connectivity leads to a new kind of symmetry-enforced triply degenerate points at the nexuses of two nodal rings and a Kramers-like nodal line. The emergence and intersection of the line nodes are guaranteed by a generalized 1/4-period screw rotation symmetry of Maxwell's equation…
