Optical magnetic response in three-dimensional metamaterial of upright plasmonic meta-molecules.

چکیده
We report the first three-dimensional photonic metamaterial, an array of erected U-shape plasmonic gold meta-molecules, that exhibits a profound response to the magnetic field of light incident normal to the array. The metamaterial was fabricated using a double exposure e-beam lithographic process. It was investigated by optical measurements and finite-element simulations, and showed that the magnetic field solely depends on the plasmonic resonance mode showing either enhanced in the centre of the erected U-shape meta-molecule (16 times enhancement) or enhanced around two prongs of erected U-shape meta-molecule (4 times enhancement).

Optical Chirality Enhancement in Twisted Arrays of Plasmonic Nano-rods
An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...
متن کاملNear-infrared trapped mode magnetic resonance in an all-dielectric metamaterial.
Optical responses in conventional metamaterials based on plasmonic metal nanostructures are inevitably accompanied by Joule losses, which obstruct practical applications by limiting resonance quality factors and compromising the efficiency of metamaterial devices. Here we experimentally demonstrate a fully-dielectric metamaterial that exhibits a 'trapped mode' resonance at optical frequencies, ...

We apply the optical nanocircuit concepts to design and analyze in detail a three-dimensional (3D) plasmonic nanotransmission line network that may act as a relatively broadband negative-refraction metamaterial at infrared and optical frequencies. After discussing the heuristic concepts in our theory, we show full-wave analytical results of the expected behavior of such materials, which show in...

In the past ten years, advances in (planar) nanofabrication schemes have opened up the path for photonic nanostructures that offer unique light-manipulation functionalities. On one hand, the opportunity of using metamaterials to realize novel effects like a magnetic response at optical frequencies, a negative refractive index, and sub-wavelength imaging have led to the development of novel nano...
متن کاملMagnetic plasmon induced transparency in three-dimensional metamolecules
In a laser-driven atomic quantum system, a continuous state couples to a discrete state resulting in quantum interference that provides a transmission peak within a broad absorption profi le the so-called electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). In the fi eld of plasmonic metamaterials, the subwavelength metallic structures play a role similar to atoms in nature. The interference of thei...
