It is found that the incident angle dependent phase delay and coupling conditions of neighboring split-ring resonator （SRR） units play important roles and greatly change both the transmission and reflection spectra for the resonant feature of linear charge oscillations. Our results show that the SRR structure-supported magne- toelectric couplings at oblique excitation are trivial and can be ignored. A highly symmetric response is found in the cross-polarization effects, which may manifest the bianisotropic properties of the SRR system but this needs further study.展开更多

In the present study, each resonator is made up of two concentric circular copper rings patterned on a substrate of kapton, with slits diametrically opposite each other and with the line of the splits along the longitudinal direction of the periodic array containing seven split rings evenly spaced. The experiments consist in inserting the metamaterial slab into a square waveguide of side length 6 mm, corresponding to a cutoff frequency of 25 GHz. Transmission bands due to magnetic and electrical responses are identified for slits with aperture widths of 1 mm and 2 mm, centered at 5.67 and 6.12 GHz frequencies, respectively, values well below the 25 GHz frequency cutoff, so characterizing a medium with negative permeability and permittivity.展开更多

Linear and nonlinear media are used in the resonator respectively. By varying the refractive index of the linear medium, the transmission properties can be changed obviously, and the effect caused by changing the incident intensity with a nonlinear medium is similar. Several resonant modes that are applicable can be enhanced by changing the position of the gap of the split ring. Thus, the transmission properties can be modulated by adjusting the size of the gap, varying the refractive index, and changing the incident intensity of the input light. These methods may play significant roles in applications of optical integrated circuits and nanostructural devices.展开更多

We present two types of MSPCA, which contain split-ring resonators(SRRs) and dipole photoconductive antennas(D-PCAs). The experimental results reveal that when the femtosecond laser is pumping onto the split position of the SRR, the maximum THz radiation power is enhanced by 92 times compared to pumping at the electrode edge of the D-PCA. Two π phase shifts occur as the pumping laser propagates from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. Analysis shows that photoinduced carrier charges move within the split position of the SRR.展开更多

By investigating the influence of the asymmetrical arm width in typical SSRRs, we find that the variation of the arm width enables a blue shift of the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and a red shift of the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave. Thus, the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave will be identical by asymmetrically adjusting the arm width of the SSRR. Two modified, split-ring resonators（MSRRs） that are insensitive to the polarization with asymmetrical arm widths are designed, fabricated, and tested. Excellent agreement between the simulations and experiments for the MSRRs demonstrates the polarization insensitivity with asymmetrical arm widths. This work opens new opportunities for the investigation of polarization-insensitive, split-ring resonator metamaterials and will broaden the applications of split-ring resonators in various terahertz devices.展开更多

Their energy gap(D), critical temperature(T_(c)),and quasiparticle density of states(QDOS) distribution, however, deviate from the classical BCS theory due to the disorder effects. The Usadel equation, which takes account of elastic scattering, non-elastic scattering, and electro–phonon coupling,can be applied to explain and describe these deviations. This paper presents numerical simulations of the disorder effects based on the Usadel equation to investigate their effects on the △, Tc, QDOS distribution, and complex conductivity of the NbTiN film. Furthermore, NbTiN superconducting resonators with coplanar waveguide(CPW) structures are fabricated and characterized at different temperatures to validate our numerical simulations. The pair-breaking parameter α and the critical temperature in the pure state T_(c)^(P) of our NbTiN film are determined from the experimental results and numerical simulations. This study has significant implications for the development of low-temperature detectors made of disordered superconducting materials.展开更多

文摘This Letter proposes a novel method for enhancing terahertz(THz) radiation from microstructure photoconductive antennas(MSPCA). We present two types of MSPCA, which contain split-ring resonators(SRRs) and dipole photoconductive antennas(D-PCAs). The experimental results reveal that when the femtosecond laser is pumping onto the split position of the SRR, the maximum THz radiation power is enhanced by 92 times compared to pumping at the electrode edge of the D-PCA. Two π phase shifts occur as the pumping laser propagates from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. Analysis shows that photoinduced carrier charges move within the split position of the SRR.

文摘To enhance the quality factor and sensitivity of refractive index sensors,a feedback waveguide slot grating micro-ring resonator was proposed.An air-hole grating structure was introduced based on the slot micro-ring,utilizing the reflection of the grating to achieve the electromagnetic-like induced transparency effect at different wavelengths.The high slope characteristics of the EIT-like effect enabled a higher quality factor and sensitivity.The transmission principle of the structure was analyzed using the transmission matrix method,and the transmission spectrum and mode field distribution were simulated using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)method,and the device structure parameters were adjusted for optimization.Simulation results show that the proposed structure achieves an EIT-like effect with a quality factor of 59267.5.In the analysis of refractive index sensing characteristics,the structure exhibits a sensitivity of 408.57 nm/RIU and a detection limit of 6.23×10^(-5) RIU.Therefore,the proposed structure achieved both a high quality factor and refractive index sensitivity,demonstrating excellent sensing performance for applications in environmental monitoring,biomedical fields,and other areas with broad market potential.

文摘A polarization-insensitive, square split-ring resonator（SSRR） is simulated and experimented. By investigating the influence of the asymmetrical arm width in typical SSRRs, we find that the variation of the arm width enables a blue shift of the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and a red shift of the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave. Thus, the resonance frequency for the 0° polarized wave and the resonance frequency for the 90° polarized wave will be identical by asymmetrically adjusting the arm width of the SSRR. Two modified, split-ring resonators（MSRRs） that are insensitive to the polarization with asymmetrical arm widths are designed, fabricated, and tested. Excellent agreement between the simulations and experiments for the MSRRs demonstrates the polarization insensitivity with asymmetrical arm widths. This work opens new opportunities for the investigation of polarization-insensitive, split-ring resonator metamaterials and will broaden the applications of split-ring resonators in various terahertz devices.
文摘In this work,a new configuration of an all-optical nonlinear de-multiplexer gate based on two-dimensional(2D)photonic crystals(Ph C)is proposed.The gate is considered in the double-ring resonator shaped structure of silicon rods.In order to have a more functional structure,some defect rods made of nonlinear materials were positioned in the structure.Considering the functionality of the structure,photonic band gap(PBG),field distribution and transmitted power spectra are investigated.Plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain(FDTD)methods are utilized for extracting the PBG and field distribution diagrams.The remarkable dimension,bit rate,maximum intensity and contrast ratio of 116.64μm2,3.125 Tbit/s,97%and 40.2 dB are obtained,respectively,which make the gate an appropriate candidate for utilization in optical integrated circuits.

文摘Superconducting microwave resonators play a pivotal role in superconducting quantum circuits.The ability to finetune their resonant frequencies provides enhanced control and flexibility.Here,we introduce a frequency-tunable superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator.By applying electrical currents through specifically designed ground wires,we achieve the generation and control of a localized magnetic field on the central line of the resonator,enabling continuous tuning of its resonant frequency.We demonstrate a frequency tuning range of 54.85 MHz in a 6.21-GHz resonator.This integrated and tunable resonator holds great potential as a dynamically tunable filter and as a key component of communication buses and memory elements in superconducting quantum computing.

文摘Combining periodic layered structure with three-dimensional cylindrical local resonators,a hybrid metastructure with improved wave isolation ability was designed and investigated through theoretical and numerical approaches.The metastructure is composed of periodic rubber layers and concrete layers embedded with three-dimensional resonators,which can be freely designed with multi local resonant frequencies to attenuate vibrations at required frequencies and widen the attenuation bandgap.The metastructure can also effectively attenuate seismic responses.Compared with layered rubber-based structures,the metastructure has more excellent wave attenuation effects with greater attenuation and wider bandgap.

文摘To use the single split-ring resonator （SRR） as a basic unit cell for small antenna with multi-band frequency response is proposed. The structure of antenna is consisted of a single spilt-ring resonator and a coupled microstrip line. The designed antenna is numerically optimized with CST Microwave Studio. The radiation properties of the antenna show that there are three frequency bands among which two bands are 1.3 GHz and 2.1 GHz ultra-widehand （UWB）, respectively, where Sll is less than - 10 dB. The gain at every frequency for the multi-hand antenna is above 2.6 dBi, and it increases monotonously with the frequency in the two UWB.

文摘Disordered superconducting materials like NbTiN possess a high kinetic inductance fraction and an adjustable critical temperature, making them a good choice for low-temperature detectors. Their energy gap(D), critical temperature(T_(c)),and quasiparticle density of states(QDOS) distribution, however, deviate from the classical BCS theory due to the disorder effects. The Usadel equation, which takes account of elastic scattering, non-elastic scattering, and electro–phonon coupling,can be applied to explain and describe these deviations. This paper presents numerical simulations of the disorder effects based on the Usadel equation to investigate their effects on the △, Tc, QDOS distribution, and complex conductivity of the NbTiN film. Furthermore, NbTiN superconducting resonators with coplanar waveguide(CPW) structures are fabricated and characterized at different temperatures to validate our numerical simulations. The pair-breaking parameter α and the critical temperature in the pure state T_(c)^(P) of our NbTiN film are determined from the experimental results and numerical simulations. This study has significant implications for the development of low-temperature detectors made of disordered superconducting materials.

文摘Helmholtz resonators are widely used to control low frequency noise propagating in pipes.In this paper,the elastic bottom plate of Helmholtz resonator is simplified as a single degree of freedom(SDOF)vibration system with acoustic excitation,and a one-dimensional lumped-parameter analytical model was developed to accurately characterize the structure-acoustic coupling and sound transmission loss(STL)of a Helmholtz resonator with an elastic bottom plate.The effect of dynamical parameters of elastic bottom plate on STL is analyzed by utilizing the model.A design criterion to circumvent the effect of wall elasticity of Helmholtz resonators is proposed,i.e.,the structural natural frequency of the wall should be greater than three times the resonant frequency of the resonator to avoid the adverse effects of wall elasticity.This study can provide guidance for the rapid and effective design of Helmholtz resonators.
