  1. DALHM Development and Analysis of Left Handed Materials FORTH, Crete, Greece Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey Imperial College, London, England 2nd year Meeting July 29-30, 2004 Crete, Greece

Markos • Finite-difference-time-domain-method (FDTD) M. Kafesaki, R. Moussa, & S. Foteinopoulou • Effective medium theories E. N. Economou, Th. Koschny • Microwave studio T.O.Gundogdu, R. Penciu, M. Kafesaki & Lei Zhang

  3. Transfer matrix method to compute scattering amplitudes

  4. New discretization scheme: Symmetry is preserved This new symmetric material discretization completely eliminates the problem of the off-diagonal terms in the transfer matrix approach for sufficiently accurate computation. So we have successfully implemented a new discretization scheme that gives no off-diagonal terms.

  5. continuum Homogeneous Effective Medium inversion

  6. Generic LH related Metamaterials

  7. Typical LHM behavior Resonance and anti-resonance

  8. Analytic model for the electric and magnetic response of SRRs

  10. Electric response of wires Electric response of cut wires Electric and magnetic response of SRR Electric response of LHM E and M response of LHM

  28. Electric and Magnetic Response of SRRs and LHMs • Electric and Magnetic Response are independent. • One can change the magnetic response without changing • the electric response. • GHz and THz magnetic response in artificial structures! • The SRR has strong electric response. It’s cut-wire like. • Effective electric response of LHM is the sum of wire and SRR. • Effective wp of the LHM is much lower than wp of the wires. • There are “phony” LH peaks when wp < wm PRL (accepted, 2004)

  34. 4 cases of different propagation and polarization for single ring cell = 2.5mm gap azimuthal = 0.3mm ring outer side length = 2.2mm ring width = 0.2mm sub thickness =0.25mm

  35. Transmission and retrieved parameters k in the plane gives a negative  region, otherwise  remains positive even though a gap appears in the transmission spectra when E field is along the ring gap.

  36. Opposed ring can get rid of the effect of electric coupling

  37. Sub thickness dependence the closer the separated opposed rings are, the weaker the electric coupling is.Here are shown transmission spectra and  when the thickness are chosen to be 0.25mm, 0.125mm and 0.075mm

  38. cell = 2.5mm in X/Y/Z ring side length = 2.2mm wire width = 0.2mm ring width = 0.2mm opposed ring separation = 0.2mm this structure is symmetric in 3D and also behaves almost the same for different polarizations see black and red curve below. 3D Rings & Wires

  39. Retrieved Z, n

  40. n and   there are multiple negative index regions from the retrieval code

  41. e) b) c) d) a) Going to multi-gap structures (1) Reason: requirement for higher symmetry, for use in 3D LH structures • better than (b) (wider SRR dip); (c) better than (d) (stronger dip); (e) like the conventional SRR but weaker dip (for large separation) • Problem: Increase of m (m close to0 ) • Gaps act like capacitors in series: m2(n gaps)~ n m2(1 gap)

  42. Going to multi-gap structures (2) Solution: Make the gaps smaller or change the design Up to a point Improvements?   Only the left one

  43. a) c) b) Promising multi-gap structures from 1D study (a): Detailed study on progress (in 1D) (b): Not studied in detail yet (c): Good LH T 3D structures a) b) c) Best combination: (b)+(c)
