Cantor dielectric resonators for microwave waveguide applicators

Abstract

Dielectric resonators are structures consisting of a stack of two (or more) different dielectric materials arranged in a certain sequence. The present paper is focused on Cantor dielectric resonators\ud whose construction is determined according to the fractal Cantor scheme. Cantor microwave applicators can be realized by inserting a Cantor resonator in a metallic rectangular waveguide. This applicator can be useful for processing low loss materials due to the field localization occurring in the Cantor resonator. Investigations for different dielectric materials constituting the resonator have been done. Experimental results obtained using a prototype of the Cantor applicator show a good agreement between measured and theoretically calculated field amplitude profiles

Broadband reflectors with a disordered layered structure: statistical properties of high performing configurations selected via genetic algorithm

“…They can be used both at optical and lower frequencies for various purposes. Filtering devices [2][3][4][5], high reflective [6][7][8][9] and low reflective coatings [10], field concentrators [11,12] can be realized by using dielectric multilayers.…”

“…1,2 At the opposite, such structures can be designed to increase reflectivity and can be used as optical mirrors to achieve high reflectivity either at a fixed wavelength 3 or in a broad frequency range. 4 Various other applications are possible, for example, as beam splitters, 5,6 filters that transmit (or reflect) parts of the spectrum, [7][8][9][10] polarizers, 11 plasmonic devices, 12 to improve Raman spectroscopy, 13 to localize field, [14][15][16] and so on.…”
