Multilayer System of Lorentz/Drude Type Metamaterials With Dielectric Slabs and Its Application to Electromagnetic Filters

Abstract

Abstract-In this work, frequency behavior of the multilayer structure comprised of double-negative (DNG) and dielectric slabs is presented in detail. The multilayer structure consists of N pieces DNG and dielectric slabs with different material properties and thicknesses. The incident electric field is assumed to be a monochromatic plane wave with any arbitrary polarization. The DNG layers are realized using the parameters of Lorentz/Drude type metamaterials. Transfer matrix method is used in the analysis to find the characteristics of the reflected and transmitted powers. Finally, the computations of the powers for two structures are demonstrated in numerical results for the application to design efficient filters at the microwave, millimeter wave, and optical frequency regions.

Polarization Angle Independent Perfect Metamaterial Absorbers for Solar Cell Applications in the Microwave, Infrared, and Visible Regime

“…Recent studies show that MTMs provide improvement in light collection for solar cells [5][6][7]. MTMs are artificial structures [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and they can be specifically constructed for many desired physical properties and applications which cannot be obtained from the conventional materials such as negative refractive index [24], cloaking [25], super lens [26], absorber [27], and so on. Therefore, MTMs have gained a great deal of interest due to their large applicability in the development of efficient devices.…”

Transmission Tunneling Through the Multilayer Double-Negative and Double-Positive Slabs

“…Note that the real part of the complex wave number has to be negative for DNG slab which is a common information known in the literature [15]. The DNG slabs are defined using frequency dispersive Lorenz [12] and Drude [13] models in which they can provide simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability at a certain frequency band. The permittivity and permeability of a DNG slab can be represented by Drude and Lorentz media parameters as [2-5, 12, 13]:…”

“…In the mentioned models, the constitutive parameters can be arranged to be simultaneously negative below the electric and/or magnetic plasma frequency. Accordingly, these models can theoretically be used to designate a metamaterial (MTM) system (including multilayer MTM structure) for creating/realizing new functional devices [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Additionally, the Lorentz and Drude models as MTMs have been utilized in many studies in which one of them is the multilayer MTM system with the application of EM filters [12].…”

Dual-band tunable negative refractive index metamaterial with F-Shape structure

“…The desired physical properties, such as negative permeability, negative permittivity and negative refractive index, were accomplished with the construction of this class of materials [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Smith et al [4] and Shelby et al [9] were reported the successful experimental validation of the first metamaterial which exhibits simultaneous negative permittivity and negative permeability by constructing two-dimensional periodic structure unit cells of SRRs with copper strips.…”
