Negative Refractive Index And Metamaterial :Current Scientific Progress and Applications -Shiv Ashish Kumar
Outline • Introduction of Metamaterial and NIM. • Concepts to reality • Structure for NIM • Application Shiv Ashish Kumar
Metamaterial • Meta means Beyond in greek • Meta material literally means beyond conventional material. • They are typically man made material . • Having a properties not found in nature. Shiv Ashish Kumar
Negativerefractive index In naturally exiting substances permittivity and permiability are positve (except the cases of noble metals like gold silver etc where permitivitty is negative for certain range of frequency). Nowletsconsiderthat: Shiv Ashish Kumar
Negativerefractive index • So we see that a negative refractive index can be obtained in principle if both permittivity and permeability are negative simultaneously. • This makes the left hand material. • Why we want negative refractive index ?? Shiv Ashish Kumar
Snell`s Law Negative Refractive index Shiv Ashish Kumar
Negative refractive index • Snell`s law is still valid Shiv Ashish Kumar
Concept • The first theoritical study was performed by V.G VESELAGO and • it took nearly 30 years for experimental verification. Shiv Ashish Kumar
Concepts to reality D.R Smith has shown for the first time simultaneously negative Permeability and Permittivity Shiv Ashish Kumar
Concepts to reality Sir J.B Pendry has given the concept of perfect lens using negative refractive index. This is one of the great break though work in the world of meta material. Shiv Ashish Kumar
Concepts to reality Till 2007, shortest Wavelength 725nm at which Shiv Ashish Kumar
Different structures used for designingNIM. • The famous SRR(split ring resonator suggested by Sir Pendry) • First Realized by D.R Smith group in 2001. Shiv Ashish Kumar
Structure for NIM Shiv Ashish Kumar
Structure for NIM Shiv Ashish Kumar
Negative Refractive index in optics Shiv Ashish Kumar
Application Shiv Ashish Kumar
Applications Cloaking Shiv Ashish Kumar
Applications Watching your back !! Shiv Ashish Kumar
Problems High Dissipative losses is a big problem and limits the application . We are still far from having a practical device. Shiv Ashish Kumar
The famous people in the world of meta material • V.G Veselago • Sir John Brian Pendry , imperial college ,London. • Professor David R. Smith ,Duke University • Vladimir M. Shalaev , Perdue university. • Xiang Zhang , University of California ,Berkeley. Shiv Ashish Kumar
