Photonic doping of epsilon-near-zero media

Abstract

Doping semiconductor materials with impurity atoms enables control of the optoelectronic properties that enhance functionality. Liberal et al. describe numerically and experimentally an analogous doping effect for a group of photonic materials. They introduced a dielectric into an otherwise nonmagnetic material, which produced a magnetic response. The generality of the method should allow the design of photonic materials with enhanced and controlled electromagnetic response.
