Electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) is obtained in a symmetric U-shaped metamaterial,which is attributed to the simultaneously excited dual modes in a single resonator under lateral incidence.A large group index accompanied with a sharp EIT-like transparency window offers potential applications for slowing down light and sensing.
Giant resonance enhancement is demonstrated to be due to the Fano interference in a grating waveguide composed of gain-assisted silicon slabs. The Fano mode is characterized by its ultra-narrow asymmetric spectrum, different from that of a pure electric or magnetic dipole. The simulation indicates that a sharp Fano-interfered lineshape is responsible for the giant resonance enhancement featuring the small-gain requirements.
CoNiFe patterned films with rectangular elements, all 600-nm wide but of different lengths, were fabricated and investigated by ferromagnetic resonance experiment and micromagnetic simulation. An in-plane magnetic uniaxial anisotropy was exhibited, and its value increases with the increase of the aspect ratio of the elements, which was fitted by the model, including a quasi-ellipsoid demagnetizing field and a non-uniform demagnetizing field. The relative importance of the nonuniform demagnetizing field decreased from 0.26 to 0.16 with the increase of the length-width aspect ratio of the patterned element from 1.5 to 10. The demagnetizing factors in the three principal axes were determined from the experimental data of ferromagnetic resonance, which agreed reasonably well with the values calculated by micromagnetic simulation. The calculation also indicated that the interaction between elements could be neglected when the edge-to-edge spacing between neighboring elements was larger than 3 μm in our patterned films.
