Dispersion properties of slab waveguides with double negative material guiding layer and nonlinear substrate

Abstract

The dispersion properties of transverse electric nonlinear waves in a three-layer slab waveguide which consists of a double negative material (DNM) guiding layer sandwiched between an intensity-dependent refractive index substrate and semi-infinite linear dielectric cover are investigated. The dispersion properties for self-focusing and self-defocusing substrate nonlinearity are presented. The effects of the negative parameters of the DNM on the dispersion characteristics are investigated.

Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves in Slab Waveguide Structure Consisting of Chiral Nihility Claddings and Negative-Index Material Core Layer

“…We can calculate the propagation constants numerically from the dispersion relations (13), (14), (18), and (19), then the electromagnetic fields and the energy flow distribution can be calculated. In this section, we use numerical values for the parameters in the core and cladding as 1 …”

Slab waveguide with air core layer and anisotropic left-handed material claddings as a sensor

“…It was reported in the literature that the guided mode TE 0 cannot be found for any frequency in LHM guiding layer surrounded by linear dielectric media. If one of the surrounding materials has a kerr−type nonlinear refractive index, the fundamental guided mode was found to exist [13]. The dispersion curves of the first oscillating guided mode are plotted in Fig.…”

“…The first demonstra− tion of LHMs was achieved by Smith and his co−workers in 2000 [4]. Since then an increasing interest [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] on the LHMs properties and possible applications has been exhib− ited by scientists because of their unconventional electro− magnetic properties including reversal of Doppler effect and Cherenkov radiation, negative index of refraction, and unu− sual nonlinearities.…”

Characteristics of Symmetric Left-Handed Material Slab Waveguide

“…Left-handed materials (LHMs) have received an increasing interest because of their potential applications in future optical technology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Veselago predicted a number of remarkable properties of electromagnetic waves propagating in a material with simultaneously negative permittivity ε and permeability µ [10].…”
