Potential Due to a Polarized Object01:29

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

365
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Plane Electromagnetic Waves I

3.6K
The existence of combined electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic (EM) waves is the most significant prediction of Maxwell's equations. As Maxwell's equations hold in free space, the predicted electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for their propagation. An EM wave comprises an electric field, defined as the force per charge on a stationary charge, and a magnetic field, which is the force per charge on a moving charge.
The EM field is assumed...

Consider a plane wavefront traveling in position x-direction with a constant speed. This wavefront can be utilized to obtain the relationship between electric and magnetic fields with the help of Faraday's law.

James Clerk Maxwell formulated a single theory combining all the electric and magnetic effects scientists knew during that time, calling the phenomena his theory predicted “Electromagnetic waves”. He brought together all the work that had been done by brilliant physicists such as Oersted, Coulomb, Gauss, and Faraday and added his own insights to develop the overarching theory of electromagnetism. Maxwell’s equations, combined with the Lorentz force law, encompass all the laws...

Propagation of Waves01:07

Propagation of Waves

2.3K
When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Dielectric Polarization in a Capacitor

4.6K
The presence of a dielectric medium in a capacitor not only changes the voltage and capacitance but also affects the electric field. In general, dielectrics can be of two types: polar and nonpolar. In a polar dielectric, the positive and negative charges in the molecules are separated by a distance and hence have a permanent dipole moment. In contrast, no such charge separation exists in a nonpolar dielectric, however the nonpolar molecules get polarized in the presence of an external electric...

Area of Science:

  • Metamaterials and Nanophotonics
  • Electromagnetics
  • Wavefront Engineering

Background:

  • Independent multitasked wavefront control is crucial for high-capacity optical and radar integration.
  • Existing transmission-reflection metasurfaces struggle to synergize linear polarization (LP) and circular polarization (CP) control.
  • Achieving independent control over multiple polarization states with a single ultrathin plate remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and demonstrate a multichannel full-space coding metasurface for large information capacity.
  • To achieve independent control of both Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) and dynamic phases for CP and LP waves, respectively.
  • To suppress crosstalk and enable complex wavefront manipulation using a single meta-device.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a metasurface with interleaved shared-aperture meta-atoms in a four-layer structure.
  • Engineered triple sub-elements (modes) within each meta-atom.
  • Utilized rotating dual-gap split ring resonators and varying 'L' type structures with electrostatic-analogue shielding to independently control PB and dynamic phases.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated independent realization of PB phase for CP waves and dynamic phase for LP waves.
  • Achieved complete suppression of crosstalk among three modes.
  • Experimentally validated a proof-of-concept metadevice with tri-channel wavefront manipulations, including reflective dual-vortex and Bessel beams (CP waves) and transmissive polarization beam splitting (LP wave).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed metasurface enables unprecedented kaleidoscopic wavefront control by synergizing LP and CP wave manipulation.
  • This polarization-direction multiplexing strategy significantly increases information capacity for integrated electromagnetic devices.
  • The findings are expected to drive interest in electromagnetic integration with novel degrees of freedom.
