摘要
In this paper, physical concept and performance analysis of all-dielectric metamaterials are presented. Metamaterials with desired material parameters (+/-epsilon,+/-mu) are developed by creating electric and magnetic resonant modes. Dielectric disk and spherical particle resonators are considered as the great candidates for establishing the dipole moments (metamaterial alphabet). A full wave finite difference time domain technique is applied to comprehensively obtain the physical insights of dielectric resonators. Near-field patterns are plotted to illustrate the development of electric and magnetic dipole fields. Geometric-polarization control of the dipole moments allows epsilon and mu to be tailored to the application of interest. All-dielectric double negative metamaterials are designed. Engineering concerns, such as loss reduction and bandwidth enhancement are investigated.
