In this paper, we demonstrate six types of metamaterial absorbers (MMAs) by measuring their absorptivities in an X-band (8 12 GHz) rectangular waveguide. Some of the MMAs have been demonstrated previously by using the free space measurement method, and the others are proposed firstly in this paper. The measured results show that all of the six MMAs exhibit high absorptivities above 98%, which have similar absorbing characteristics to those measured in the free space. The numerically obtained surface current densities for each MMA show that the absorbing mechanism is the same as that under the free space conditions. Such a demonstration method is superior to the conventional free space measurement method due to the small-scale test samples required, the simple measure device, and its low cost. Most importantly, the proposed method opens a way to enable MMAs to be used in microwave applications such as matched terminations.

Scattering of fully coherent light from nano objects is a very matured field with plethora of applications. However, due to various fundamental and operational reasons, fluctuations in various characteristic features of interacting light fields cannot be fully suppressed. Such light fields with random fluctuating features are known as partially coherent light. When partially coherent light interact with nano-objects (i.e. solids or voids), new characteristics emerge (e.g. coherence vortex, fully-incoherent point-pairs) that are absent in fully coherent scattered fields. In this paper, we review the fundamental metrics for characterising partially coherent light and how such metrics can be used to reveal some of the hidden features of partially coherent light interacting with nano-objects.

The research of metamaterial is one of most important global activity that promises to change the lives in many different ways. Flexibly controlling the properties of metamaterials by tunable designs makes metamaterials more colorful and thus enables a family of new electromagnetic devices. In this paper, the use of ferrites on design of tunable metamaterials has been reviewed. Owing to the novel properties of ferrites, including broadband negative permeability and tunability of permeability, a great many researchers have focused on investigating ferrites based metamaterials and the relevant applications. This paper reviews the design, theoretical analysis, numerical and experimental demonstrations, and the potential applications of the ferrite based metamaterials.

We present a tunable triple-band μ-negative metamaterial composed of loop resonator and ferrite. The tunable triple-band-stop transmission spectrum of such metamaterial is investigated numerically by full wave simulations. Moreover, the corresponding effective parameters are retrieved to illustrate the tunable μ-negative characteristic.

This paper presents an alternative approach, based on the transmission line theory, for determination of the attenuation constant (α), phase constant (β), characteristic impedance (Zo), refractive index (n), effective permittivity (ε) and effective permeability (μ) for active transmission line (TL) metamaterial. When active elements are introduced into the lossy TL meta-material, the gain acquired from the active elements should be evaluated quantitatively against the attenuation due to the loss in order to avoid ambiguities in determining the signs of the effective constitutive parameters. In stead of directly determining the characteristic impedance from S-parameters, we introduce the reflection coefficient as an intermediate quantity to assist solving the characteristic impedance. This paper shows demonstration of this method with an example of active TL metamaterial.

Fluorescence has become a widely used technique for applications in noninvasive diagnostic tissue spectroscopy. The standard model used for characterizing fluorescence photon transport in biological tissue is based on the diffusion approximation. On the premise that the total energy of excitation and fluorescent photon flows must be conserved, we derive the widely used diffusion equations in fluorescence spectroscopy and show that there must be an additional term to account for the transport of fluorescent photons. The significance of this additional term in modeling fluorescence spectroscopy in biological tissue is assessed.

Introduce the basic concept of best rational approximation and constructing procedure of the best rational approximation function in Laplace domain. By an illustrative example the design method of FOC based on best rational approximation is discussed. The performance comparison of transfer functions between the FOC obtained by best rational approximation method and conventional PID shows that it is effective to apply the method in design of FOC, which can guarantee maximum absolute error of amplitude frequency characteristic of approximation function in a given error tolerance.

Propagation characteristics of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) in linear chains of metallic nanospheres (LCMNs) can be found from a dispersion equation, by assuming that either frequency or wave number of a SPP is real. In this paper, we present a comparative study of SPP modes corresponding to the two types of complex solutions for an infinitely long LCMN embedded in a gain medium. We show that even though gain predominantly affects the SPP dispersion obtained with real frequency, both solutions result in the same dispersion and attenuation of SPP modes, when Ohmic losses are almost compensated by gain. In this regime, an analytic expression for the propagation length of SPPs exists, and the SPPs’ dispersion is determined by a real equation. We also demonstrate that for a given amount of gain (below the amplification limit of ~1000 cm−1), transversely polarized SPPs attenuate slower than longitudinally polarized SPPs and are, therefore, preferable for the purpose of energy transfer in gain-supplied LCMNs. The transmission windows for SPP modes of different polarizations do not overlap each other, which facilitates realization of LCMN-based plasmonic filters. Our results may prove useful in design optimization of all-optical chips for power-efficient optical supercomputers.
