The transformation media concept based on the form-invariant Maxwells equations under coordinate transformations has opened up new possibilities to manipulate the electromagnetic fields. In this paper we report on applying the finite-embedded coordinate transformation method to design electromagnetic beam modulating devices both in the Cartesian coordinates and in the cylindrical coordinates. By designing the material constitutive tensors of the transformation optical structures through different kinds of coordinate transformations, either the beam width of an incident Gaussian plane wave could be modulated by a slab, or the wave propagating direction of an omni-directional source could be modulated through a cylindrical shell. We present the design procedures and the full wave electromagnetic simulations that clearly confirm the performance of the proposed beam modulating devices.

One-dimensional (1D) subwavelength corrugated metal structures has been described to support spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Here we demonstrate that a modulated 1D subwavelength corrugated metal structure can convert spoof SPPs to propagati ng waves. The structure is fed at the center through a slit with a connected waveguide on the input side. The subwavelength corrugated metal structure on the output surface is regarded as metasurface and modulated periodically to realize the leaky-wave radiation at the broadside. The surface impedance of the corrugated metal structure is modulated by using cosine function and triangle-wave function, respectively, to reach the radiation effect. Full wave simulations and measuremental results are presented to validate the proposed design.
The coordinate transformation on the space that contains electromagnetic sources is studied. We find that, not only the permittivity and permeability tensors of the media, but also the sources inside the media will take another form in order to behav e equivalently as the original case. It is demonstrated that, a source of arbitrary shape and position in the free space can be replaced by an appropriately designed metamaterial coating with current distributed on the inner surface and would not be detected by outer observers, because the emission of the source can be controlled at will in this way. As examples, we show how to design conformal antennas by covering the sources with transformation media. The method proposed in this letter provides a completely new approach to develop novel active EM devices.
Based on the relation between a plane phased array and plane waves we show that a spherical current layer or a current sphere proportional to a multipole electric field and situated in a uniform medium generates the same multipole field in all space. We calculate TE and TM multipoles inside and outside the spherical layer. The $l=1$ TM multipoles are localized at the origin with a focal spot with full width at half maximum of $0.4lambda$ in the lateral axes and $0.58lambda$ in the vertical axis. The multipole fields near the origin are prescriptions for the current distributions required to generate those multipole fields. A spherical layer can couple to a multipole source since the oscillation of the electrons in the layer due to the multipole field generates the multipole field in all space, which in turn can drive the multipole currents. Exciting a multipole in a polarizable sphere or spherical layer can couple it to another polarizable sphere or spherical layer.
We delineate the four principal surface plasmon polariton coupling and interaction mechanisms in subwavelength gratings, and demonstrate their significant roles in shaping the optical response of plasmonic gratings. Within the framework of width-grad ed metal-insulator-metal nano-gratings, mode confinement and wave guiding result in multiwavelength light localization provided conditions of adiabatic mode transformation are satisfied. The field is enhanced further through fine tuning of the groove-width (w), groove-depth (L) and groove-to-groove-separation (d). By juxtaposing the resonance modes of width-graded and non-graded gratings and defining the adiabaticity condition, we demonstrate the criticality of w and d in achieving adiabatic mode transformation among the grooves. We observe that the resonant wavelength of a graded grating corresponds to the properties of a single groove when the grooves are adiabatically coupled. We show that L plays an important function in defining the span of localized wavelengths. We show that multiwavelength resonant modes with intensity enhancement exceeding 3 orders of magnitude are possible with w < 30nm and 300nm < d < 900nm for a range of fixed values of L. This study presents a novel paradigm of deep-subwavelength adiabatically-coupled width-graded gratings - illustrating its versatility in design, hence its viability for applications ranging from surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy to multispectral imaging.
In this paper, we study the interactions of electromagnetic waves with a non-dispersive dynamic medium that is temporally dependent. Electromagnetic fields under material time-modulation conserve their momentum but not their energy. We assume a time- variation of the permittivity, permeability and conductivity and derive the appropriate time-domain solutions based on the causality state at a past observation time. We formulate a time-transitioning state matrix and connect the unusual energy transitions of electromagnetic fields in time-varying media with the exceptional point theory. This state-matrix approach allows us to analyze further the electromagnetic waves in terms of parity and time-reversal symmetries and signify parity-time symmetric wave-states without the presence of a spatially symmetric distribution of gain and loss, or any inhomogeneities and material periodicity. This paper provides a useful arsenal to study electromagnetic wave phenomena under time-varying media and points out novel physical insights connecting the resulting energy transitions and electromagnetic modes with exceptional point physics and operator symmetries.
