Voltage-Controlled Negative Refractive Index in Vertically Coupled Quantum Dot Systems
We demonstrate that voltage-controlled negative refractive index can be obtained in self-organized InAs quantum dot systems. As the bias voltage is changed, the refractive index can be adjusted and controlled continuously from negative to positive and simultaneously the loss of light in the system will be small. The single-negative index materials and the double-negative index materials can be ...
متن کامل. cl as s - ph ] 2 A ug 2 00 2 Spectral response of Cantor multilayers made of materials with negative refractive index
Whereas Cantor multilayers made of an isotropic dielectric–magnetic material with positive refractive index will show power–law characteristics, low–order Cantor multilayers made of materials with negative refractive index will not exhibit the power– law nature. A reason for this anomalous behavior is presented.
متن کاملPhysics of negative refractive index materials
In the past few years, new developments in structured electromagnetic materials have given rise to negative refractive index materials which have both negative dielectric permittivity and negative magnetic permeability in some frequency ranges. The idea of a negative refractive index opens up new conceptual frontiers in photonics. One much-debated example is the concept of a perfect lens that e...
متن کاملOptical negative refraction by four-wave mixing in thin metallic nanostructures.
The law of refraction first derived by Snellius and later introduced as the Huygens-Fermat principle, states that the incidence and refracted angles of a light wave at the interface of two different materials are related to the ratio of the refractive indices in each medium. Whereas all natural materials have a positive refractive index and therefore exhibit refraction in the positive direction...
متن کاملA single-layer wide-angle negative-index metamaterial at visible frequencies.
Metamaterials are materials with artificial electromagnetic properties defined by their sub-wavelength structure rather than their chemical composition. Negative-index materials (NIMs) are a special class of metamaterials characterized by an effective negative index that gives rise to such unusual wave behaviour as backwards phase propagation and negative refraction. These extraordinary propert...
متن کاملSign of the refractive index in a gain medium with negative permittivity and permeability
We show how the sign of the refractive index in any medium may be derived using a rigorous analysis based on Einstein causality. In particular, we consider left-handed materials, i.e., media that have negative permittivities and permeabilities at the frequency of interest. We find that the consideration of gain in such media can give rise to a positive refractive index. © 2006 Optical Society o...
