Development of Leaky-Wave Antenna Applications with Acoustics Metamaterials: from the Acoustic Dispersive Prism to Sound Direction Finding with a Single Microphone
Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR) gratings or waveguide-mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these resonant diffractive elements benefit from lateral leaky guided modes and can operate from UV t ...
We investigate the invisibility via anomalous localized resonance of a general source in anisotropic media for electromagnetic waves. To this end, we first introduce the concept of doubly complementary media in the electromagnetic setting. These are media ...
We report broadband spectroscopy and numerical analysis by which we explore propagating spin waves in a magnetic bilayer consisting of a 23-nm thick permalloy film deposited on 130-nm thick Y_3Fe_5O_12. In the bilayer, we observe a characteristic mode that ...
High index optical waveguide devices such as slab waveguides, strip waveguides and fibers play extremely important roles in a wide range of modern applications including telecommunications, sensing, lasing, interferometry, and resonant amplification. Yet, ...
We present an exact mathematical framework for electromagnetic wave propagation in periodically time-modulated media, in which the permittivity is homogenous and modulated in a step-varying fashion. By using Hill’s equation theory, we show that this proble ...
This thesis deals with electromagnetic inspired acoustic metamaterials, enabling sound-matter interactions in different wave scenarios that include propagation, guided-waves, radiation, refraction, reflection and transmission. To this end, a particular emp ...
