Dielectric Metamaterials

Abstract

In this program we (a) developed an analytical theory--generalized effective medium--for accurately calculating the effective permittivity and permeability of dielectric metamaterials (MMs) near the Mie resonances ; (b) modeled and designed submicron-thick perfect MM reflectors based on silicon Mie resonators; (c) demonstrated near-perfect reflection in collaboration with Vanderbilt University; and (d) developed an semi-analytical theory (called g-delta method) of both random and controlled disorder in MMs that predicts anisotropic and inter-polarization scattering by submicron-thick MM layers containing all-isotropic constitutive materials.
