Giant electric field enhancement in split ring resonators featuring nanometer-sized gaps.

ABSTRACT: Today's pulsed THz sources enable us to excite, probe, and coherently control the vibrational or rotational dynamics of organic and inorganic materials on ultrafast time scales. Driven by standard laser sources THz electric field strengths of up to several MVm(-1) have been reported and in order to reach even higher electric field strengths the use of dedicated electric field enhancement structures has been proposed. Here, we demonstrate resonant electric field enhancement structures, which concentrate the incident electric field in sub-diffraction size volumes and show an electric field enhancement as high as ~14,000 at 50 GHz. These values have been confirmed through a combination of near-field imaging experiments and electromagnetic simulations.

Near-Field Spectroscopy of Individual Asymmetric Split-Ring Terahertz Resonators.

Project description:Metamaterial resonators have become an efficient and versatile platform in the terahertz frequency range, finding applications in integrated optical devices, such as active modulators and detectors, and in fundamental research, e.g., ultrastrong light-matter investigations. Despite their growing use, characterization of modes supported by these subwavelength elements has proven to be challenging and it still relies on indirect observation of the collective far-field transmission/reflection properties of resonator arrays. Here, we present a broadband time-domain spectroscopic investigation of individual metamaterial resonators via a THz aperture scanning near-field microscope (a-SNOM). The time-domain a-SNOM allows the mapping and quantitative analysis of strongly confined modes supported by the resonators. In particular, a cross-polarized configuration presented here allows an investigation of weakly radiative modes. These results hold great potential to advance future metamaterial-based optoelectronic platforms for fundamental research in THz photonics.

Directional coupling of surface plasmon polaritons at complementary split-ring resonators.

Project description:We propose a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) for a directional coupling of surface plasmon polaritons. An air-slot split-ring in a gold film is investigated using the finite-difference time-domain method. The normally incident light couples to either a monopole or a dipole SPP depending on the polarization of light. Adjusting the angle of the linear polarization of the incident light enables a one-way propagation of SPPs on the gold film. Theoretical analysis based on the propagation of cylindrical waves from the SPP point source is provided with Hankel function. The propagated power in one direction is obtained to be 30 times higher than the opposite direction with a coupling efficiency of 18.2% from the simulation for an array of the CSRRs. This approach to the directional coupling of SPPs will be advantageous for miniaturizing photonic and plasmonic circuits and devices.

Plasmon-Induced Transparency by Hybridizing Concentric-Twisted Double Split Ring Resonators.

Project description:As a classical analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency, plasmon induced transparency (PIT) has attracted great attention by mitigating otherwise cumbersome experimental implementation constraints. Here, through theoretical design, simulation and experimental validation, we present a novel approach to achieve and control PIT by hybridizing two double split ring resonators (DSRRs) on flexible polyimide substrates. In the design, the large rings in the DSRRs are stationary and mirror images of each other, while the small SRRs rotate about their center axes. Counter-directional rotation (twisting) of the small SRRs is shown to lead to resonance shifts, while co-directional rotation results in splitting of the lower frequency resonance and emergence of a PIT window. We develop an equivalent circuit model and introduce a mutual inductance parameter M whose sign is shown to characterize the existence or absence of PIT response from the structure. This model attempts to provide a quantitative measure of the physical mechanisms underlying the observed PIT phenomenon. As such, our findings can support the design of several applications such as optical buffers, delay lines, and ultra-sensitive sensors.

Split ring resonator based THz-driven electron streak camera featuring femtosecond resolution.

Project description:Through combined three-dimensional electromagnetic and particle tracking simulations we demonstrate a THz driven electron streak camera featuring a temporal resolution on the order of a femtosecond. The ultrafast streaking field is generated in a resonant THz sub-wavelength antenna which is illuminated by an intense single-cycle THz pulse. Since electron bunches and THz pulses are generated with parts of the same laser system, synchronization between the two is inherently guaranteed.

Manipulation on radiation angles via spatially organized multipoles with vertical split-ring resonators.

Project description:Herein, the radiation patterns of single-split ring resonators (SSRRs) and double-split ring resonators (DSRRs) in the vertical direction are tailored by reconfiguring the resonator geometries. To design unequal arm lengths for controlling the floating split angle of the resonators and changing their electromagnetic multipole compositions, vertical metamaterials were fabricated using the metal-stress-driven self-folding method. The simulation results well agree with the experimental transmittance and reflectance results and demonstrate the geometry-dependent angle variation of the far-field radiation. Symmetric SSRRs and DSRRs radiate in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively. With increasing pad shift, the radiation angle of the asymmetric SSRR completely rotates toward the horizontal direction along the ring plane, but the DSRRs can rotate only from 0° to 45° to the horizontal plane. Furthermore, by decomposing the multipoles into their constituents, we show that the directional scattering performance can be verified by manipulating the horizontal and vertical components of the electric dipoles. This novel combination of SSRRs and DSRRs can effectively and efficiently reconfigure the radiation direction in the infrared (IR) region, paving the way for color routers, metasurfaces, and directive IR emitters in compact optical metadevices.

Highly tunable hybrid metamaterials employing split-ring resonators strongly coupled to graphene surface plasmons.

Project description:Metamaterials and plasmonics are powerful tools for unconventional manipulation and harnessing of light. Metamaterials can be engineered to possess intriguing properties lacking in natural materials, such as negative refractive index. Plasmonics offers capabilities of confining light in subwavelength dimensions and enhancing light-matter interactions. Recently, the technological potential of graphene-based plasmonics has been recognized as the latter features large tunability, higher field-confinement and lower loss compared with metal-based plasmonics. Here, we introduce hybrid structures comprising graphene plasmonic resonators coupled to conventional split-ring resonators, thus demonstrating a type of highly tunable metamaterial, where the interaction between the two resonances reaches the strong-coupling regime. Such hybrid metamaterials are employed as high-speed THz modulators, exhibiting ∼60% transmission modulation and operating speed in excess of 40 MHz. This device concept also provides a platform for exploring cavity-enhanced light-matter interactions and optical processes in graphene plasmonic structures for applications including sensing, photo-detection and nonlinear frequency generation.

Fabrication of mm-Scale Complementary Split Ring Resonators, for Potential Application as Water Pollution Sensors.

Project description:Rectangular, millimeter-scale complementary split ring resonators were fabricated, employing the so-called Computer Numerical Control method, combined with a home-built mechanical engraver. Their electromagnetic performance was thoroughly investigated with respect to their dimensions in the frequency regime between 2 and 9 GHz via combining experiments and corresponding theoretical simulations, wherein a considerably effective consistency was obtained. Moreover, their sensing response was extensively investigated against various aqueous solutions enriched with typical fertilizers used in agriculture, as well as detergents commonly used in every-day life. Corresponding experimental results evidently establish the capability of the studied metasurfaces as potential sensors against water pollution.

Terahertz near-field microscopy of metallic circular split ring resonators with graphene in the gap.

Project description:Optical resonators are fundamental building blocks of photonic systems, enabling meta-surfaces, sensors, and transmission filters to be developed for a range of applications. Sub-wavelength size (< λ/10) resonators, including planar split-ring resonators, are at the forefront of research owing to their potential for light manipulation, sensing applications and for exploring fundamental light-matter coupling phenomena. Near-field microscopy has emerged as a valuable tool for mode imaging in sub-wavelength size terahertz (THz) frequency resonators, essential for emerging THz devices (e.g. negative index materials, magnetic mirrors, filters) and enhanced light-matter interaction phenomena. Here, we probe coherently the localized field supported by circular split ring resonators with single layer graphene (SLG) embedded in the resonator gap, by means of scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM), using either a single-mode or a frequency comb THz quantum cascade laser (QCL), in a detectorless configuration, via self-mixing interferometry. We demonstrate deep sub-wavelength mapping of the field distribution associated with in-plane resonator modes resolving both amplitude and phase of the supported modes, and unveiling resonant electric field enhancement in SLG, key for high harmonic generation.

3D Bulk Metamaterials with Engineered Optical Dispersion at Terahertz Frequencies Utilizing Amorphous Multilayered Split-Ring Resonators.

Project description:A 3D bulk metamaterial (MM) containing amorphous multilayered split-ring resonators is proposed, fabricated, and evaluated. Experimentally, the effective refractive index is engineered via the 3D bulk MM, with a contrast of 0.118 across the frequency span from 0.315 to 0.366 THz and the index changing at a slope of 2.314 per THz within this frequency range. Additionally, the 3D bulk MM exhibits optical isotropy with respect to polarization. Moreover, the peak transmission and optical dispersion are tailored by adjusting the density of the split-ring resonators. Compared to reported conventional approaches for constructing bulk MMs, this approach offers advantages in terms of the potential for large-scale manufacturing, the ability to adopt any shape, optical isotropy, and rapid optical dispersion. These features hold promise for dispersive optical devices operating at THz frequencies, such as high-dispersive prisms for high-resolution spectroscopy.

Self-assembled pagoda-like nanostructure-induced vertically stacked split-ring resonators for polarization-sensitive dichroic responses.

Project description:Stacked split-ring resonators (SSRR) arrays exhibiting polarization-sensitive dichroic responses in both visible and near-infrared wavelengths are realized over a centimeter-scale large area. The SSRR arrays are derived from pagoda-like nanorods fabricated from the self-assembly of a lamellae-forming polystyrene-b-poly (methyl methacrylate) copolymer (PS-b-PMMA) confined in cylindrical pores of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template. Along the nanorod direction, PS and PMMA nanodomains were alternately stacked with the same distance. Silver crescents and semi-hemispherical covers, which are essential for SSRR with the polarization sensitivity, were obliquely deposited on the single side of the nanorod after removing the AAO template and reactive-ion etching treatment. These sophisticated nanoscale architectures made by bottom-up fabrication can be applied to structural color, optical anti-counterfeiting, and commercial optical components in a large area.
