Dyakonov surface wave resonant transmission.

چکیده
The role of Dyakonov surface waves in the transmission through structures composed of birefringent media is theoretically explored. In the case of structures using prisms, unexpected high transmission above the critical angle due to resonant excitation of Dyakonov surface waves is predicted. This transmission is produced only when TE polarized incident wave reaches the interface supporting the surface waves within a narrow interval of angles, for both the angle of incidence and the angle with respect to the optic axis of the birefringent media. As a result, over 90% transmission for a single and isolated peak confined in the two transversal directions, with hybrid TE and TM polarization, can be obtained.

Observation of the Dyakonov-Tamm wave.
A surface electromagnetic wave called the Dyakonov-Tamm wave has been theoretically predicted to exist at the interface of two dielectric materials at least one of which is both anisotropic and periodically nonhomogeneous. For experimental confirmation, a prism-coupled configuration was used to excite Dyakonov-Tamm waves guided by the interface of a dense thin film of magnesium fluoride and a c...
متن کاملOn Widening the Angular Existence Domain for Dyakonov Surface Waves Using the Pockels Effect
The propagation of Dyakonov surface waves (DSWs) at the planar interface between an isotropic material and a linear electro-optic birefringent material can be dynamically controlled using the Pockels effect. The range of directions for DSW propagation has been previously found to be rather narrow. By careful choice of various parameters, this range of directions can be increased by more than an...
متن کاملDyakonov–Tamm wave at the planar interface of a chiral sculptured thin film and an isotropic dielectric material
Surface waves, named here as Dyakonov–Tamm waves, can exist at the planar interface of an isotropic dielectric material and a chiral sculptured thin film (STF). Due to the periodic nonhomogeneity of a chiral STF, the range of the refractive index of the isotropic material is smaller but the range of the propagation direction in the interface plane is much larger, in comparison to those for the ...
متن کاملResonant Modes and Resonant Transmission in Multi-layer Structures
Resonant modes of multi-layer structures which contain the regions of negative epsilon material (such as a metal in the visible range) are analyzed. Existence of two separate classes of resonant modes is demonstrated. One is related to the excitation of the surface mode at the interface of the regions with opposite signs of the dielectric constant and involve energy transport by evanescent mode...
متن کاملOptical Tunneling Effect of Surface Plasmon Polaritons: A Simulation Study Using Particles Method
The phenomenon of resonant tunneling through thin metal films with periodic narrow grooves is attributed to excitation of surface plasmon (SP) via the periodic structure coupler at the metal surface. In this paper, we will use the particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulation method to study the SP-mediated optical tunneling. The PIC method is a time-domain scheme to calculate self-consistently the ...
