Résumé:

A scaling analysis of the extraordinary transmission by subwavelength holes is provided. The structure under study is a lamellar grating. The grating can be described by homogeneous permittivity and permeability tensors. The permeability is dispersive and the peaks of transmission result from a Bragg condition

Résumé:

Quantum metamaterials generalize the concept of metamaterials (artificial optical media) to the case when their optical properties are determined by the interplay of quantum effects in the constituent 'artificial atoms' with the electromagnetic field modes in the system. The theoretical investigation of these structures demonstrated that a number of new effects (such as quantum birefringence, strongly nonclassical states of light, etc) are to be expected, prompting the efforts on their fabrication and experimental investigation. Here we provide a summary of the principal features of quantum metamaterials and review the current state of research in this quickly developing field, which bridges quantum optics, quantum condensed matter theory and quantum information processing.

Résumé:

It is now well established that the homogenization of a periodic array of parallel dielectric fibers with suitably scaled high permittivity can lead to a (possibly) negative frequency-dependent effective permeability. However this result based on a two-dimensional approach holds merely in the case of linearly polarized magnetic fields, reducing thus its applications to infinite cylindrical obstacles. In this paper we consider a dielectric structure placed in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and perform a full 3D asymptotic analysis. The main ingredient is a new averaging method for characterizing the bulk effective magnetic field in the vanishing-period limit. We evidence a vectorial spectral problem on the periodic cell which determines micro-resonances and encodes the oscillating behavior of the magnetic field from which artificial magnetism arises. At a macroscopic level we deduce an effective permeability tensor that we can be make explicit as a function of the frequency. As far as sign-changing permeability are sought after, we may foresee that periodic bulk dielectric inclusions could be an efficient alternative to the very popular metallic split-ring structure proposed by Pendry.

Résumé:

A meta-surface made of a collection of nano-resonators characterized an electric dipole and a magnetic dipole was studied in the regime where the wavelength is large with respect to the size of the resonators. An effective description in terms of an impedance operator was derived.

Résumé:

Due to the existence of open channels, light could theoretically be transmitted through disorderedmedia with 100% efficiency. However, because of the large number of channels to be controlledor measured, this has been never observed experimentally. To avoid this difficulty we considerobservables easier to handle experimentally. By measuring the correlations of the field transmittedthrough a disordered medium, we were able to count the number of channels involved in transmissionand to compare this number with theory. For a sample of transmission 1=25, we get a number ofmodes about 15 times smaller than for free space propagation. This figure is in good agreementwith theoretical prediction.
