Planar heterogeneous structures for coherent emission of radiation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The coupling of excited surface polaritons with thermal radiation through diffraction by gratings results in coherent thermal emission in a certain frequency range toward well-defined directions for p polarization. A planar coherent source is proposed that uses multilayers of negative permittivity (ϵ) and negative permeability (μ) materials. Owing to the excitation of surface polaritons at the interface between the negative-ϵ and negative-μ layers, coherent emission can be achieved for both s and p polarization. Moreover, one can control the emission frequency and direction by adjusting the layer thicknesses.
