Classic analogue of Autler–Townes-splitting transparency using a single magneto-optical ring resonator

We show that an optical transparency can be obtained by using only one single magneto-optical ring resonator. This effect is based on the splitting of counterclockwise and clockwise modes in the ring resonator. Within a proposed resonator-waveguide configuration the superposition between the two degeneracy broken modes produces a transparency window,which can be closed, open, and modified by tuning the applied magnetic field. This phenomenon is an analogue of Autler–Townes splitting, and the magnetic field is equivalent to the strong external pump field. We provide a theoretic analysis on the induced transparency, and numerically demonstrate the effect using full-wave simulation. Feasible implication of this effect and its potential applications are also discussed.

Origin of strain-induced resonances in flexible terahertz metamaterials

Two types of flexible terahertz metamaterials were fabricated on polyethylene naphthalate（PEN） substrates. The unit cell of one type consists of two identical split-ring resonators（SRRs） that are arranged face-to-face（i.e., Flex Meta F）; the unit cell of the other type has nothing different but is arranged back-to-back（i.e., Flex Meta B）. Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B illustrate the similar transmission dips under zero strain because the excitation of fundamental inductive–capacitive（LC）resonance is mainly dependent on the geometric structure of individual SRR. However, if a gradually variant strain is applied to bend Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B, the new resonant peaks appear： in the case of Flex Meta F, the peaks are located at the lower frequencies; in the case of Flex Meta B, the peaks appear at the frequencies adjacent to the LC resonance. The origin and evolution of strain-induced resonances are studied. The origin is ascribed to the detuning effect and the different responses to strain from Flex Meta F and Flex Meta B are associated with the coupling effect. These findings may improve the understanding on flexible terahertz metamaterials and benefit their applications in flexible or curved devices.

Design of sextuple-mode triple-ring HTS UWB filter using two-round interpolation

A single-stage ring resonator capable of introducing six modes within the ultra-wideband(UWB)passband is presented.The sextuple-mode resonator consists of three rings and three sets of stepped-impedance open stubs.Based on this sextuple-mode resonator,a UWB filter fed by the interdigital-coupling line(ICL)is designed.And we propose a two-round interpolation method to obtain the filter's initial dimensions.The designed filter is fabricated on a double-sided YBCO/MgO/YBCO high-temperature superconducting(HTS)thin film for demonstration.The experimental results show that this UWB filter produces eight resonances in the passband eventually,which effectively improves the in-band reflection and the band-edge steepness.Moreover,the upper stopband performance is enhanced due to the transmission zeros(TZs)generated by the stepped-impedance open stubs and the ICL structure.The measured good performance verifies the practicability of the two-round interpolation approach,which can also be extended to other odd-even-mode filter designs.

Design and analysis of multi-channel drop filter using dual L defected hexagonal photonic crystal ring resonator

In this paper,dual L defected hexagonal Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator(PCRR)using Channel Drop Filter(CDF)is designed for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing(CWDM)systems.In this structure,the external rods of the ring resonator are arranged in a hexagon and the internal rods are removed in L arrangement for introducing defects.Scatter rods are used to prevent leakage.By using the L defected hexagonal resonator,a multi-channel CDF is designed,which exhibits multiple wavelengths of CWDM(1500 nm–1600 nm)region.In addition,the selection of rod size and the position of rods in the proposed multi-channel CDF are validated by varying the radius of coupling and scattering rods,as well as the position of resonators,respectively.By using plane wave expansion and opti Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD)method,the electromagnetic wave propagation and the photonic band gap are obtained.

Electric and magnetic dipole couplings in split ring resonator metamaterials

In this paper, the electric and the magnetic dipole couplings between the outer and the inner rings of a single split ring resonator （SRR） are investigated. We numerically demonstrate that the magnetic resonance frequency can be substantially modified by changing the couplings of the electric and magnetic dipoles, and give a theoretical expression of the magnetic resonance frequency. The results in this work are expected to be conducive to a deeper understanding of the SRR and other similar metamaterials, and provide new guidance for complex metamaterials design with a tailored electromagnetic response.

Terahertz Transmission Properties of Split Ring Resonator Arrays

The transmission properties of double-ring split ring resonator(SRR) arrays and closed ring resonator arrays are measured using terahertz(THz) time-domain spectroscopy. This technique allows for the simultaneous measurement of the amplitude and phase of the transmission coefficient as a function of frequency. The ability to directly measure the phase spectrum is expected to be important in characterizing potential negative index media. In the employed experimental geometry, THz pulses are normally incident on the arrays. Thus, the magnetic field lies in the plane of the arrays and cannot contribute to the magnetic resonance of the SRR. However, it is found that the electric field, when appropriately polarized, can couple to the magnetic resonance. Shifts in the resonance properties with changes in the SRR dimensions and the substrate medium are measured, the results of which are consistent with theory.

Miniaturized multi-band antenna using deformed splot ring resonator

A 48 mm x 60 mm x 1 mm miniaturized multi band antenna based on deformed split ring re sonators was presented. The antenna was consisted of a micro strip line and a deformed split square ring. Its/S11/parameters were determined through numerical simulation and experimental measure ment within three working bands of 2.6 GHz to 3. 0 GHz, 3. 9 GHz to 4. 4 GHz and 5.2 GHz to 5. 8 GHz and the results showed that the parameters within all the bands were less than 10 dB. The gain at every frequency for the antenna was above 2.2 dB and it increased monotonously with the frequency from 5. 5 GHz to 7. 0 GHz.

Orbital Angular Momentum Generation Using Circular Ring Resonators in Radio Frequency

Electromagnetic field generators based on circular ring resonators, whose perimeters are integer times of equivalent wavelength, are well known to have attractive potential for producing radio vortexes carrying orbital angular momentum （OAM）. We study the radiation characteristics of the generators based on radiation vector and antenna array theory. The behaviors of radiation patterns, field intensity and phase distribution are investigated in detail, and show classical features of OAM beams. The evolution of the generators performance versus the OAM state is also analyzed. The proposed generators can be realized by all kinds of microwave transmission lines, verified by two different prototypes. The discussions and conclusions drawn in this study are useful and meaningful for the radio OAM generator design.

Polarization Insensitivity in Double-Split Ring and Triple-Split Ring Terahertz Resonators

A modified double-split ring resonator and a modified triple-split ring resonator, which offer polarization-insensitive performance, are investigated, designed and fabricated. By displacing the two gaps of the conventional double- split ring resonator away from the center, the second resonant frequency for the 0° polarized wave and the resonant frequency for the 90° polarized wave become increasingly close to each other until they are finally identical. Theoretical and experimental results show that the modified double-split ring resonator and the modified triple-split ring resonator are insensitive to different polarized waves and show strong resonant frequency dips near 433 and 444OHz, respectively. The results of this work suggest new opportunities for the investigation and design of polarization-dependent terahertz devices based on split ring resonators.

A compact patch antenna is designed, which is with structures of cross-shape slot, Complementary Split Ring Resonator(CSRR), and loaded transmission line. To implement the compactness in size, these structures are etched on the ground plane, then the input impedance has been improved. The CSRR is employed to improve impedance matching between the source and radiation patch, and the cross-shape slot on the radiation patch is utilized to increase the bandwidth. The design is validated by comparison of realistic field simulation with measurement results of an antenna prototype. The presented antenna is much smaller in size than conventional antennas with CSRR, showing good performances at the resonant frequency. The experimental results accord well with simulated results.

Metamaterial-Based Compact Antenna with Defected Ground Structure for 5G and Beyond

In this paper,a unit cell of a single-negative metamaterial structure loaded with a meander line and defected ground structure(DGS)is investigated as the principle radiating element of an antenna.The unit cell antenna causes even or odd mode resonances similar to the unit cell structure depending on the orientation of the microstrip feed used to excite the unit cell.However,the orientation which gives low-frequency resonance is considered here.The unit cell antenna is then loaded with a meander line which is parallel to the split bearing side and connects the other two sides orthogonal to the split bearing side.This modified structure excites another mode of resonance at high frequency when a meander line defect is loaded on the metallic ground plane.Specific parameters of the meander line structure,the DGS shape,and the unit cell are optimized to place these two resonances at different frequencies with proper frequency intervals to enhance the bandwidth.Finally,the feed is placed in an offset position for better impedance matching without affecting the bandwidth The compact dimension of the antenna is 0.25λL×0.23λL×0.02λL,whereλL is the free space wavelength with respect to the center frequency of the impedance bandwidth.The proposed antenna is fabricated and measured.Experimental results reveal that the modified design gives monopole like radiation patterns which achieves a fractional operating bandwidth of 26.6%,from 3.26 to 4.26 GHz for|S11|<−10 dB and a pick gain of 1.26 dBi is realized.In addition,the simulated and measured crosspolarization levels are both less than−15 dB in the horizontal plane.

Harmonic dissipative soliton resonance pulses in a fiber ring laser at different values of anomalous dispersion

The pulse dynamics of harmonic mode-locking in a dissipative soliton resonance(DSR) region in an erbiumdoped fiber ring laser is investigated at different values of anomalous dispersion. The fiber laser is mode-locked by a nonlinear polarization rotation technique. By inserting 0–200 m anomalous dispersion single-mode fiber in the laser cavity, the cavity length is changed from 17.3 to 217.3 m, and the corresponding dispersion of the cavity ranges from -0.27 to-4.67 ps^2. The observed results show that the tuning range of repetition rate under a harmonic DSR condition is highly influenced by the cavity dispersion. Furthermore, it is found that, by automatically adjusting their harmonic orders, the lasers can work at certain values of repetition rate, which are independent of the cavity length and dispersion. The pulses at the same repetition rate in different laser configurations have similar properties, demonstrating that each achievable repetition rate represents an operation regime of harmonic DSR lasers.

Using Inductance as a Tuning Parameter for RF Meta-atoms

The resonant frequency of metamaterials structured with split ring resonator(SRR) meta-atoms is determined primarily through the capacitance and inductance of the individual meta-atoms. Two designs that vary inductance incrementally were modeled, simulated, fabricated, and tested to investigate the role inductance plays in metamaterial designs. The designs consisted of strategically adding sections to the SRR to increase the inductance, but in a manner that minimized capacitance variations. Each design showed a shift in resonant frequency that was proportional to the length of the added section. As the length of each section was increased, the resonant frequency shifted from 2.78 GHz to 2.18 GHz.
