Electromagnetic waves in absorbing uniaxial metamaterials

Abstract

Features of the polarization, energy fluxes of proper inhomogeneous electromagnetic waves in a layer of absorbing uniaxial negative index metamaterial, and an exact solution of the corresponding boundary problem are investigated. A comparative analysis and modeling of optical properties of anisotropic conventional media and metamaterials is carried out. Conditions and possible advantages of a controlled transformation of the radiation characteristics by the metamaterial are analyzed.

Wide-range frequency tunable absorber based on cross-groove metamaterials and graphene-sheet

“…Metamaterial is a form of artificial periodic electromagnetic structure with a variety of electromagnetic characteristics [1], which can be used to manipulate electromagnetic waves or devices [2]. Metamaterial-based absorbers have great potential applications in imaging and sensing.…”

Propagation and tunneling of electromagnetic waves through uniaxial metamaterials at arbitrary orientations of the optical axis

“…(13) exists only at non-singular matrix M ( 0 ) det( ≠ M ). The case of the singular analogical matrix was considered for conventional nonmagnetic anisotropic media (see, e.g., [18][19] and references in these works), and it leads to special PW forms (not FPW) requiring an additional analysis for magnetic media (including case of MM).…”
