The combination of the diffraction modes generated by the grating and the intrinsic dispersion of the stacked hole arrays (SHA) structure leads to exotic propagation regimes which include unidirectional propagation with sign-switchable refraction and deflection. Several coupling scenarios will be analyzed and then numerical simulations will be presented as well as experimental results in the V band of millimeter waves.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123277340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, a compact polarization-independent isolator is proposed based on metasurfaces with modulated periodicity, which may provide similar functionality as conventional polarizing beam-splitters (PBSs) based on uniaxial crystals but with dimensions many orders of magnitude smaller. Furthermore, direction-selective non-reciprocal devices, such as isolators and Faraday rotators, are introduced by placing magneto-optical (MO) slabs in between epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials. Finally, a new class of sub-wavelength nonlinear magnetic-free isolators is proposed, consisting of a non-linear band-stop metasurface and a linear bandpass one at the opposite sides of a quarter-wavelength slab.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122480479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that our results are valid both in the case of a single sphere and clusters made of such spheres, suggesting that the conclusions of our study could be applied to a broad array of applications relying on angular momentum dependent light interaction with ensembles of nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":151955,"journal":{"name":"2014 8th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128044795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
