Enhanced spontaneous emission inside hyperbolic metamaterials.
Hyperbolic metamaterials can enhance spontaneous emission, but the radiation-matter coupling is not optimized if the light source is placed outside such media. We demonstrate a 3-fold improvement of the Purcell factor over its outer value and a significant enlargement in bandwidth by including the emitter within a Si/Ag periodic multilayer metamaterial. To extract the plasmonic modes of the str...
متن کاملAsymmetrically Curved Hyperbolic Metamaterial Structure with Gradient Thicknesses for Enhanced Directional Spontaneous Emission.
We demonstrate hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) on a curved surface for an efficient outcoupling of nonradiative modes, which lead to an enhanced spontaneous emission. Those high-wavevector plasmonic modes can propagate along the curved structure and emit into the far field, realizing a directional light emission with maximal fluorescent intensity. Detailed simulations disclose a high Purcell fa...
متن کاملSpontaneous emission in waveguide free-electron masers near waveguide cutoff
In this work spontaneous emission is investigated in a waveguide free-electron maser, taking into account previously untreated interaction effects in the vicinity of the waveguide cutoff frequency. Our study is based on the exact waveguide excitation equations, formulated in the frequency domain for a single electron moving in a planar magnetostatic wiggler. An analytical solution of the amplit...
متن کاملBroadband Acoustic Hyperbolic Metamaterial.
In this Letter, we report on the design and experimental characterization of a broadband acoustic hyperbolic metamaterial. The proposed metamaterial consists of multiple arrays of clamped thin plates facing the y direction and is shown to yield opposite signs of effective density in the x and y directions below a certain cutoff frequency, therefore, yielding a hyperbolic dispersion. Partial foc...
متن کاملA metamaterial for directive emission.
In this paper we present the first results on emission in metamaterial. We show how the specific properties of metallic composite material can modify the emission of an embedded source. We show that under proper conditions the energy radiated by a source embedded in a slab of metamaterial will be concentrated in a narrow cone in the surrounding media. An experimental demonstration of this effec...
