“…In this work and [28] we utilize the reciprocity method for systematically studying the dipole radiation above an anisotropic half-space, which is potentially an ENZ medium. We expand the theory to solve for dipoles immersed inside an ENZ medium.…”

Abstract-We investigate radiation of a dipole at or below the interface of (an)isotropic Epsilon Near Zero (ENZ) media, akin to the classic problem of a dipole above a dielectric half-space. To this end, the radiation patterns of dipoles at the interface of air and a general anisotropic medium (or immersed inside the medium) are derived using the Lorentz reciprocity method. By using an ENZ half-space, air takes on the role of the denser medium. Thus we obtain shaped radiation patterns in air which were only previously attainable inside the dielectric half-space. We then follow the early work of Collin on anisotropic artificial dielectrics which readily enables the implementation of practical anisotropic ENZs by simply stacking sub-wavelength periodic bi-layers of metal and dielectric at optical frequencies. We show that when such a realistic anisotropic ENZ has a low longitudinal permittivity, the desired shaped radiation patterns are achieved in air. In such cases the radiation is also much stronger in air than in the ENZ media, as air is the denser medium. Moreover, we investigate the subtle differences of the dipolar patterns when the anisotropic ENZ dispersion is either elliptic or hyperbolic.

“…In this work and our related work [28] however, we aim to systematically study the radiation pattern of a dipole at the interface of an air-metamaterial (MTM), in which the metamaterial is a homogenized medium with an effective permittivity lower than free space, < 0 . Such materials would be classified as Epsilon Near Zero (ENZ) media.…”
