Optical Negative Index Metamerials with Low Losses: Nature-Inspired Methods for Optimal Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of an optical negative index metamaterial is optimized by simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, and particle swarm optimization methods. While these methods yield very similar designs, the particle swarm optimization shows the best performance. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (160.3900) Metals; (000.4430) Numerical approximation and analysis

متن کاملImprovement of Optical Properties in Hexagonal Index-guiding Photonic Crystal Fiber for Optical Communications
Waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. Optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. Besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. In this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...
متن کاملUltra low-loss, isotropic optical negative-index metamaterial based on hybrid metal-semiconductor nanowires
Recently, many fascinating properties predicted for metamaterials (negative refraction, superlensing, electromagnetic cloaking,…) were experimentally demonstrated. Unfortunately, the best achievements have no direct translation to the optical domain, without being burdened by technological and conceptual difficulties. Of particular importance within the realm of optical negative-index metamater...
متن کاملOptimal Multi-Objective Placement of UPFC for Planning the Operation of Power Systems Using the Water Cycle Optimization Algorithm
Abstract: Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one of the FACTS devices which plays a crucial role in simultaneous regulating active and reactive power, improving system load, reducing congestion and cost of production. Therefore, determining the optimum location of such equipment in order to improve the performance of the network is significant. In this paper, WCA algorithm is used to locat...
متن کاملDoes Nature Allow Negative Refraction with Low Losses in Optical Region?
From the fundamental requirement of causality, we derive a rigorous criterion of negative refraction (left-handedness). This criterion imposes the lower limits on the electric and magnetic losses in the region of the negative refraction. If these losses are eliminated or significantly reduced by any means, including the compensation by active (gain) media, then the negative refraction will disa...
