8 Outline Background of metamaterials Manipulate light polarizations by metamaterials Slow-wave meta-surfaces to enhance light-matter interactions Conclusions

9 Conventional methods to manipulate polarization Wire-Grid Polarizer Problems: Energy loss issue Size issue Wave plate Our motivations: Ultra-thin MTM (much thinner than ) 100% efficiency Birefringent crystals

10 Our Previous attempt :Control polarization with MTM reflector Polarizations completely converted (TE to TM), 100% efficiency Any polarization (linear, circular, elliptical) is realizable Good agreements between theory & experiment Physics: PEC for one polarization and PMC for another PRL 99, (2007); PRB 77, (2008) ;PRA 80, (2009)

11 Problems & Solutions Interference issues in reflection configuration Previous attempts for transmission geometry: T. Li et. al., APL (2008) J. Y. Chin, et. al., APL (2008) no perfect transmission! Our motivation a transparent ultra-thin MTM Phase Plate!

12 Designed MTM structure A B A a b Z Y f X e E a 2a g p (a) l, h d 2h A layer B layer (b) (c) Anisotropic electric MTM Metallic mesh a 12 mm, b 10 mm, g 21.3 mm, e 9 mm, p 11 mm, l 1 mm, h 0.6mm

18 Polarization manipulation effects Flexible control of polarization in transmission configuration (nearly) lossless, 100% efficiency System is only thick Good agreement between theory and expt. Ultra-thin microwave phase plate Sun. et. al, OL, accepted (2011)

19 Outline Background of metamaterials Manipulate light polarizations by metamaterials Slow-wave meta-surfaces to enhance light-matter interactions Conclusions

20 Why do we need slow light? Faster is not always better Using light smartly rather than simply relying on its speed offers many opportunities. Slow light promotes stronger lightmatter interaction. T. F. Krauss et al, Nature Photon. 2, (2008)

21 Recent approaches to achieve slow waves EIT Photonic Band Gap L. V.Hau et al, Nature. 397, (1999) T. Baba et al, Nature. 2, (2008)

22 Available mechanisms to realize slow waves v g d dk RESONENCE BAND GAP atom L. V.Hau et al, Nature. 397, (1999) T. F. Krauss et al, Nature Photon. 2, (2008) BULK EFFECT

23 Motivation Find an ultra-thin system to support slowwaves along all directions? No Bragg scanning, no F-P effect, how to slow down the wave with Meta-surface?

24 Our slow-wave meta-surface (C) Demo input Fast Light output Fast Light Metallic plate with fractallike shaped slits metal h1 Slow Light h2 air Fast light Slow light a 20 mm, l 10mm l l l 5 mm, w 2mm h 2 mm, h 2mm 1 2

25 Group velocities (theory ~ expt.) propagating wave (z direction) surface wave (x-y plane)

26 Group velocity can be further reduced! Counter intuitive --- the smaller w, the more metal! The thickness is ultrathin ~ /19

27 Physical mechanism for slow wave Prop. wave Dispersion Group velocity d 0 dk z Waveguide cutoff mode is a slow-wave mode, independent of h z direction Surf. wave 0 Waveguide Cut-off d dk x 0 SPP facilitates perfect coupling of fast light to slow light: deep subwavelength & high Q factor In xy plane

28 Applications Slow light promotes stronger light matter interaction Absorption Nonlinear optics 00

29 Slow-wave meta-surface to enhance light-matter interaction Slowing wave compresses wave-packet longitudinally Squeezing into apertures laterally h1 h2 Slow Light Strong local field 20 air Faster Light High Intensity Faster Light matter 0 Strongly enhance light-matter interaction

30 Example 1: Perfect absorber (A)2D geometry a 20 mm, l 10mm (B) 3D view 1 l l l 5 mm, w 2mm h 2 mm, h 2mm 1 2 metal lossy materials FR4 PBC

31 Basic Results (Expt. ~ Theory) ~19 h Perfect absorption for both TE and TM polarizations

32 Omnidirectional/polarization insensitive Perfect agreements between Theory & Expt.

33 Example 2: Slow-wave enhances nonlinear effect a 700 nm w h h 70 nm 1 2 l 2l 2l 2l 350 nm Ag p p i s 12 1 s 15 1 InSb (Kerr nonlinearity) Infra-red regime Theoretical prediction nlinear 4, 2 10 erg/ cm (3) 6 3

34 Enhanced THG by MTM (FDTD simulation) Working wavelength: 10 m 4-5 orders in magnitude enhancements can be easily obtained

35 Conclusions Ultra-thin metamaterial phase plate to control light polarizations efficiently with perfect transmittance Slow-wave meta-surfaces to enhance lightmatter interactions - perfect absorption and enhanced nonlinear response W.
