Group Velocities

In the transfer matrix framework of electromagnetic transport, we calculate the group velocities in a one-dimensional photonic crystal composed of a biaxially anisotropic chiral material and dielectric material. According to the isofrequency curves, it is unravelled that two polarized waves possess negative group velocities. As a result, negative refraction can be achieved in the present configuration. In addition, the chirality has a significant influence on the group velocities in the biaxially anisotropic chiral photonic crystal, which even causes the group velocities to change from positive to negative. Our investigations may have potential applications in the chiral-based negative refraction devices.

AbstractWe propose a novel subwavelength terahertz (THz) waveguide using the magnetic plasmon polariton (MPP) mode guided by a narrow gap in a negative permeability metamaterial. Deep subwavelength wave-guiding (< λ/10) with a modest propagation loss (2.5 dB/λ) and group velocities down to c/21.8 is demonstrated in a straight waveguide, a 90-degree bend, and a splitter. The distinctive dispersions of the guided mode with positive and negative group velocities are explained analytically by considering the dispersive effective optical constants of the metamaterial. The proposed waveguiding system inherently has no cutoff for any core width and height, paving the way toward the deep subwavelength transport of THz waves for integrated THz device applications.
