A tunable beam steering is achieved by changing the chemical potential of each graphene layer and, therefore, the effective refractive index of the metamaterial. Three different beam steerer concepts with a wide range of output angles (up to approximately 70°) are discussed. The proposed graphene-based tunable beam steering can be used in tunable transmitter/receiver modules for infrared imaging and sensing.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"253-255"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90409178","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}

The diffraction is suppressed for light propagating along the normal to the metamaterial surface and formed of TM-polarized plane-wave components. The effect is demonstrated by an example of divergence-free propagation of a radially polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beam. We also show that arbitrary optical images can be transferred through the material without distortion, if they are originally circularly polarized or unpolarized. Upon propagation, the images lose their TE-polarized components, but their shapes remain intact. Hence, the material acts as a new type of an optical polarizer.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"140 1","pages":"184-186"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75660465","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 fact, UV irradiation of metal nanoclusters covered with thin layer of Spirooxazine doped polystyrene split the resonance dip in transmission spectra in which the wavelengths difference between the photo-induced divided dips can reach up to 80nm. The origin of the observation attributed to the coupling of the activated molecule resonance with that of the localized plasmon of the nanoparticles.

It realizes conjugate matching with free space for every possible mode including, most importantly, all evanescent modes.
