A metamaterial integration for fiber optics, leading to a dual effect of surface plasmon and classical waveguiding, is presented along with experimental potentiality. We theoretically propose a metamaterial fiber in which, depending on the wavelength (from ultraviolet to infrared) and the particular metamaterial composition, one can transmit information through surface plasmon mediated or classical waveguidance. The metamaterial can be used as the core or cladding of a fiber which allows waveguidance through a subwavelength geometry.
一种用于光纤的超材料集成,导致表面等离子体和经典波导的双重效果,以及实验潜力。我们从理论上提出了一种超材料光纤,根据波长(从紫外到红外)和特定的超材料组成,可以通过表面等离子体介导或经典波导来传输信息。超材料可用作光纤的芯或包层,允许通过亚波长几何形状进行波导。
