Controlling the toroidal excitations in metamaterials for high-Q response


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The excitation of toroidal multipoles in metamaterials was investigated for high-Q response at a subwavelength scale. In this study, we explored the optimization of toroidal excitations in a planar metamaterial comprised of asymmetric split ring resonators (ASRRs). It was found that the scattering power of toroidal dipole can be remarkably strengthened by adjusting the characteristic parameter of ASRRs: asymmetric factor. Interestingly, the improvement in toroidal excitation accompanies increment on the Q-factor of the toroidal metamaterial; it is shown that both the scattering power of toroidal dipole and the Q-factor were increased more than one order by changing the asymmetric factor of ASRRs. The optimization in excitation of toroidal multipole provide opportunity to further increase the Q-factor of metamaterial and boost light-matter interactions at the subwavelength scale for potential applications in low-power nonlinear processing, and sensitive photonic applications.
