A broadband cylindrical invisibility cloak in free space is designed based on scattering cancellation (the approach of previous plasmonic cloaking), and implemented with anisotropic metamaterials (a unique property of previous transformation-optics cloaking). Particularly, non-superluminal speed of light in the cloak, a superior advantage of non-Euclidian conformal mapping cloaks, is inherited in this design, and thus is the reason of its relatively broad bandwidth. This demonstration provides a possibility for future practical implementation of cloaking devices at large scales.","PeriodicalId":315697,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Workshop on Metamaterials (Meta)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130198531","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}

Both simulational and experimental results with a typical metamaterial absorber structure show that the thickness of the absorber decreases from ~8 μm to ~4 μm by increasing the width of the cross-resonator from 10 μm to 40 μm. The results can be well explained with the interference theory which shows that the near-unity absorption is due to a destructive interference of the multiple reflections in the metamaterial absorber.","PeriodicalId":315697,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Workshop on Metamaterials (Meta)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115516379","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}

Many studies was focused on different type FSS, such as unit shape, dielectric loading, layers of FSS. And it is of popular consideration that double dielectric loading on both sides of FSS be an ideal configuration. In this paper, the type of single side loading, which is more similar to the practical configuration, was studied with the numerical method. And it is found that both the thickness of thick loading layer and the constant of the thin substrate play key roles to the properties of FSS.","PeriodicalId":315697,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Workshop on Metamaterials (Meta)","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116056809","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}

Different from the conventional numerical methods, which make discretizations within the problem space and use interpolating or iterative technique to obtain the corresponding electromagnetic fields, the DME method is strict in the discretization procedure without any numerical error. The average permittivity and permeability have been used in the DME method, where the spatial dispersion has been considered in details. This method could use very sparse grids in the simulation, which is much more efficient than the conventional numerical methods where 1/10 wavelength for each grid is required. We show that the DME method is particularly valid to the analysis of one-dimensional multi-layered metamaterial structures, where each layer is composed of resonant or nonresonant unit cells. The DME method can greatly reduce the CPU time cost in the multi-layered metamaterial structures, which will find great applications in the microwave and optical metamaterial designs.","PeriodicalId":315697,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Workshop on Metamaterials (Meta)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130445923","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 this approach, the powder for the solid under investigation is mixed with the oil at a specific volume fraction. By measuring the oil and the mixture, the permittivity of the inclusion, i.e. the solid, can be accurately derived from the Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory. With this method, the strict requirements for the solid shape and surface flatness in the conventional measuring configurations can be waved off, and meanwhile the broadband permittivity can be obtained. The demonstrations on alumina and glucose show this approach is valid and robust.","PeriodicalId":315697,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Workshop on Metamaterials (Meta)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126844964","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}
