The dependence of TE-mode wave-tilt on frequency and altitude of measurement, and the resistivity and dielectric constants of the ground have been investigated. Computational results showing the influence of these parameters on the amplitude and phase of the wave-tilt over a homogeneous half-space earth model have been presented. In contrast to TM-mode waves, the wave-tilt effects for TE-mode are stronger in the lower frequency region. In the lower frequency range, the amplitude decreases with the increase in resistivity of the ground, whereas it increases for an increase in dielectric constant value. When the displacement currents are ignored, the magnitude of amplitude of wave-tilt is reduced considerably. The altitude of measurement has minimal effect on the amplitude, but the phase changes appreciably in some cases.

Theoretical studies on the influence of magnetic permeability on the amplitude and phase of electric and magnetic wave-tilt have been carried out in the frequency range 102–106 Hz over a homogeneous half-space Earth model. Computational results show a pronounced effect of magnetic permeability on the amplitude of wave-tilt measurements.

AbstractThe investigation on metalenses have been rapidly developing, aiming to bring compact optical devices with superior properties to the market. Realizing miniature optics at the UV frequency range in particular has been challenging as the available transparent materials have limited range of dielectric constants. In this work we introduce a low absorption loss and low refractive index dielectric material magnesium oxide, MgO, as an ideal candidate for metalenses operating at UV frequencies. We theoretically investigate metalens designs capable of efficient focusing over a broad UV frequency range (200–400 nm). The presented metalenses are composed of sub-wavelength MgO nanoblocks, and characterized according to the geometric Pancharatnam–Berry phase method using FDTD method. The presented broadband metalenses can focus the incident UV light on tight focal spots (182 nm) with high numerical aperture ($$\hbox {NA}\approx 0.8$$ NA ≈ 0.8 ). The polarization conversion efficiency of the metalens unit cell and focusing efficiency of the total metalens are calculated to be as high as 94%, the best value reported in UV range so far. In addition, the metalens unit cell can be hybridized to enable lensing at multiple polarization states. The presented highly efficient MgO metalenses can play a vital role in the development of UV nanophotonic systems and could pave the way towards the world of miniaturization.

AbstractHeterostructures of a Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) waveguide/(Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 (PLZT) system buffer layer were grown on a Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:ST) substrate by solid-phase epitaxy. The propagation loss in the PLZT heterostructure waveguides was on the order of I dB/cm. An electro-optic beam deflection device with an ITO prism electrode on the surface of the PLZT heterostructure waveguide presented efficient deflection of the coupled laser beam by applying a voltage between the electrode and the substrate. A beam deflection greater than 10 mrad at 5 V and frequency response as fast as 13 MHz were observed. An apparent electro-optic coefficient as large as 39 pmJV was estimated from the deflection characteristics for the TE mode and TM mode suggesting the polarization independent nature of the PZT waveguide. For integrating the electrooptic PLZT heterostructure waveguides, channel waveguides were fabricated in the PZT waveguides using a simple wet-etching process. Based on a low-voltage drive structure, lowloss waveguide process, and fine patterning process, a fabricated digital matrix switch showed a – 10 dB cross-talk at a voltage as low as 7.5 V.

A new instrument designed for frequency‐domain sounding in the depth range 0–10 m uses short coil spacings of 5 m or less and a frequency range of 300 kHz to 30 MHz. In this frequency range, both conduction currents (controlled by electrical conductivity) and displacement currents (controlled by dielectric permittivity) are important. Several surface electromagnetic survey systems commonly used (generally with frequencies less than 60 kHz) are unsuitable for detailed investigation of the upper 5 m of the earth or, as with ground‐penetrating radar, are most effective in relatively resistive environments. Most computer programs written for interpretation of data acquired with the low‐frequency systems neglect displacement currents, and are thus unsuited for accurate high‐frequency modeling and interpretation. New forward and inverse computer programs are described that include displacement currents in layered‐earth models. The computer programs and this new instrument are used to evaluate the effectiveness of shallow high‐frequency soundings based on measurement of the tilt angle and the ellipticity of magnetic fields. Forward model studies indicate that the influence of dielectric permittivity provides the ability to resolve thin layers, especially if the instrument frequency range can be extended to 50 MHz. Field tests of the instrument and the inversion program demonstrate the potential for detailed shallow mapping wherein both the resistivity and the dielectric permittivity of layers are determined. Although data collection and inversion are much slower than for low‐frequency methods, additional information is obtained inasmuch as there usually is a permittivity contrast as well as a resistivity contrast at boundaries between different materials. Determination of dielectric permittivity is particularly important for hazardous waste site characterization because the presence of some contaminants may have little effect on observed resistivity but a large effect on observed permittivity.

Abstract Theory of five kinds of layered structure THz waveguides is presented. In these waveguides, the modified and hybrid THz surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) are researched in detail. On these modes, the effects of material in each layer are discussed. The anti-resonant reflecting mechanism is also discussed in these waveguides. The mode characteristics of both TM mode and TE mode are analyzed for guiding TM mode with low loss and TE modes with huge loss in one waveguide: the TE modes filter application is put forward. The mode characteristics for one waveguide have useful sensor applications: for TE1 mode, we find that the low cut-off frequency has a sensitivity (S) to the refractive index of the dielectric slab. The highest S can be 666.7 GHz/RIU when n2 = 1.5, w = 0 and t = 0.1 mm. We believe these results are very useful for designing practical THz devices for SPPs, filter and sensor applications.

The complete time-domain fields due to a vertical magnetic dipole on the surface of a two-layered earth model are derived in an analytical form using the natural-frequency concept. In these expressions, the displacement currents in the earth's layers are taken into consideration. The step responses of the induced voltage in a horizontal receiving loop is found to have definite diagnostic features for the ground beneath. These features are demonstrated by numerical results and shown by figures. The clear distinction between the step response of the homogeneous and the two-layered ground suggests that this response can be used for the detection of the stratification.

The design of an apparatus suitable for the measurement of dielectric constants at frequencies up to 106 Mc./sec. is shown. The apparatus was used to measure changes in capacitance with volume adsorbed for the system sulphur dioxide – rutile at about 3.5 °C. and for frequencies of 13, 36, and 106 Mc./sec. The results failed to reveal any dispersion due to the adsorbed matter in this frequency range. The dielectric behavior observed is the same, within experimental error of a few per cent, as that found by Channen and McIntosh for the same system at 3.7 Mc./sec.

Internal friction (IF) and dynamic modulus measurements on a high nitrogen (0.8 wt%) austenitic steel in the temperature range from room temperature to 800 °C have been carried out by using a vibrating reed technique with electrostatic excitation and frequency modulation detection of flexural vibrations in the frequency range of kHz. The IF spectrum of the as-prepared material shows a broad peak superimposed to an exponentially increasing background. The discontinuous precipitation of Cr2N phase changes the characteristics of the peak. The results have been discussed by considering interstitial-substitutional (i-s) interactions.
