This light trapping implied a broad spectrum of solar light concentrated in a subwavelength depth of the semiconductor substrate. In this review paper, we show that our arrays support so-called leaky domino-modes, responsible for the broadband resonant absorption in the substrate. We have thoroughly studied the main properties of these modes, which turned out to be very unusual for the optical frequency range.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"394-396"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83665451","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 idea is to use a fully passive antenna array to mimic the reflection from a ground plane even in presence of an electrically large metallic bump. Here, a triangular bump over a ground plane is cloaked covering both sides by a pair of conventional half-wavelength dipole arrays. Inspired by the Van Atta array configuration, we connect the antenna elements on one side to the other in order to restore the phase fronts as the bump were not present. The performances have been numerically evaluated, showing the ability of the proposed setup to mimic the reflection from a ground plane over the frequency operation band of the antenna elements. Wide angular bandwidth is achieved thanks to the self-adaptive nature of the proposed configuration.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"53 1","pages":"358-360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75676189","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}

Some examples of real systems exhibiting this behavior are given.

Here, we report the concept of micro-structured surfaces with inner resonance in the field of elastodynamics. Such a metasurface can tune the boundary conditions at specific frequencies and achieve the depolarization of mechanical waves without introducing heterogeneities in the medium itself. The principle relies on the anisotropic behaviour of an array of resonators with deep-subwavelength spacing: The localization of Bragg interferences in a boundary layer enables to homogenize the resonant array into an unconventional surface impedance, the frequency-dependence and anisotropy of which lead to depolarization. The concept of elastodynamic metasurfaces is put into practice experimentally and results bear testament to its efficacy and robustness to control the polarization of reflected waves. Such metasurfaces are easily realized, analytically predictable, and very adjustable, opening new possibilities in vibration control and tomography techniques, from nano- to geophysical scale.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"120 1","pages":"316-318"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87896629","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}
