Toy model for plasmonic metamaterial resonances coupled to two-level system gain
Martin Wegener, Juan Luis Garcia-Pomar, Costas M. Soukoulis +3
We propose, solve, and discuss a simple model for a metamaterial incorporating optical gain: A single bosonic resonance is coupled to a fermionic (inverted) two-level-system resona…
Transmission in the vicinity of the Dirac point in hexagonal Photonic Crystals
Marcus Diem, Thomas Koschny, C. M. Soukoulis
We use a scattering matrix approach to simulate the transmission through a hexagonal Photonic Crystal in the vicinity of the Dirac point. If the crystal is oriented so that the pro…
Wide-angle perfect absorber/thermal emitter in the THz regime
Marcus Diem, Thomas Koschny, Costas M. Soukoulis
We show that a perfect absorber/thermal emitter exhibiting an absorption peak of 99.9% can be achieved in metallic nanostructures that can be easily fabricated. The very high absor…
Strong diamagnetic response of metamaterials
E. N. Economou, Th. Koschny, C. M. Soukoulis
We demonstrate that there is a strong diamagnetic response of metamaterials, consisting of open or closed split ring resonators (SRRs). Detailed numerical work shows that for dense…
An efficient way to reduce losses of left-handed metamaterials
Jiangfeng Zhou, Thomas Koschny, Costas M. Soukoulis
We propose a simple and effective way to reduce the losses in left-handed metamaterials by manipulating the values of the effective parameters R, L, and C. We investigate the role…
Experimental Verification of the Quantized Conductance of Photonic Crystal Waveguides
Weitao Dai, Bingnan Wang, Thomas Koschny +1
We report experiments that demonstrate the quantization of the conductance of photonic crystal waveguides. To obtain a diffusive wave, we have added all the transmitted channels fo…
