Beaming and enhanced transmission through a subwavelength aperture via epsilon-near-zero media
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)We numerically validate and experimentally realize considerable funneling of electromagnetic energy through a subwavelength aperture that is covered with an epsilon-near-zero metamaterial (ENZ). The epsilon-near-zero ... -
Beaming of electromagnetic waves emitted through a subwavelength annular aperture
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2006)We study the diffraction of electromagnetic waves from subwavelength metallic circular apertures in the microwave spectrum. The theoretical and experimental demonstration of the near- and far-field electromagnetic distributions ... -
Beaming of light and enhanced transmission via surface modes of photonic crystals
(Optical Society of America, 2005-11-15)We report beaming and enhanced transmission of electromagnetic waves by use of surface corrugated photonic crystals. The modes of a finite-size photonic crystal composed of dielectric rods in free space have been analyzed ... -
Bright off-axis directional emission with plasmonic corrugations
(OSA - The Optical Society, 2017)In this work, a new plasmonic bulls-eye structure is introduced to efficiently harvest the emitted light from diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers. We show that the presence of a simple metal sub-layer underneath of a ... -
Cavity formation in split ring resonators
(Elsevier BV, 2008-12)We report that it is possible to obtain a cavity structure by the deformation of a unit cell of an split ring resonator (SRR) structure. We presented the Q-factor of the cavity resonance as 192 for an SRR-based single ... -
Chiral metamaterials with negative refractive index based on four "U" split ring resonators
(American Institute of Physics, 2010-08-23)A uniaxial chiral metamaterial is constructed by double-layered four "U" split ring resonators mutually twisted by 90°. It shows a giant optical activity and circular dichroism. The retrieval results reveal that a negative ... -
Compact size highly directive antennas based on the SRR metamaterial medium
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2005)In this work, we studied the far-field properties of the microwave radiation from sources embedded inside the split-ring resonator (SRR) metamaterial medium. Our results showed that the emitted power near the resonance ... -
Comparison of back and top gating schemes with tunable graphene fractal metasurfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2016)In this work, fractal metasurfaces that consist of periodic gold squares on graphene are used to increase light-graphene interaction. We show by simulations and experiments that higher level fractal structures result in ... -
Composite chiral metamaterials with negative refractive index and high values of the figure of merit
(Optical Society of America, 2012)A composite chiral metamaterial (CCMM) is designed and studied both numerically and experimentally. The CCMM is constructed by the combination of a continuous metallic wires structure and a purely chiral metamaterial (CMM) ... -
Coupling effect between two adjacent chiral structure layers
(Optical Society of America, 2010-03-01)A pair of mutually twisted metallic cross-wires can produce giant optical activity. When this single chiral layer is stacked layer by layer in order to build a thick chiral metamaterial, strong coupling effects are ... -
Coupling enhancement of split ring resonators on graphene
(Pergamon Press, 2014-12)Metallic split ring resonator (SRR) structures are used in nanophotonics applications in order to localize and enhance incident electromagnetic field. Electrically controllable sheet carrier concentration of graphene ... -
Enhanced transmission and beaming via a zero-index photonic crystal
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2016)Certain types of photonic crystals with Dirac cones at the Γ point of their band structure have a zero effective index of refraction at Dirac cone frequency. Here, by an appropriate design of the photonic structure, we ... -
Enhanced transmission and directivity from metallic subwavelength apertures with nonuniform and nonperiodic grooves
(AIP Publishing LLC, 2008)Nonuniform and nonperiodic grooves are used to enhance the transmission and directivity of emissions from a single metallic subwavelength aperture. By using nonuniform and nonperiodic grooves, the amplitude and phase of ... -
Enhanced tunability of V-shaped plasmonic structures using ionic liquid gating and graphene
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)Graphene is a strong candidate for active optoelectronic devices because of its electrostatically tunable optical response. Current substrate back-gating methods are unable to sustain high fields through graphene unless a ... -
Experimental demonstration of labyrinth-based left-handed metamaterials
(Optical Society of America, 2005-12-12)In this present work, we propose and demonstrate a resonant structure that solves two major problems related to the split-ring resonator structure. One of the problems related to the split-ring resonator structure is the ... -
Experimental observation of subwavelength localization using metamaterial-based cavities
