In this paper we develop homogenization theory for spatiotemporally modulated wire medium. We first solve for the modal waves that are supported by this composite medium, we show peculiar properties such as extraordinary waves that propagate at frequencies below the cut-off frequency of the corresponding stationary medium. We explain how these unique solutions give rise to an extreme Fresnel drag that exists already with weak and slow spatiotemporal modulation. Next, we turn to derive the effective material permittivity that corresponds to each of the first few supported modes, and write the average fields and Poyntings vector. Nonlocality, nonreciprocity, and anisotropy due to the spatiotemporal modulation direction, are three inherent properties of this medium, and are clearly seen in the effective material parameters. As a figure of merit, we also derive the effective permittivity of a plasma medium with spatiotemporally modulated plasma frequency. This comparison is interesting since the plasma medium can be considered as the effective medium that is obtained by a stationary wire medium. We validate that homogenization and spatiotemporal variation are not necessarily interchangeable operations. And indeed, in certain parameter regimes the homogenization should be performed directly on spatiotemporally modulated composite medium, rather than first homogenize the stationary medium and then phenomenologically introduce the effect of the space-time modulation.
In recent years a significant progress has been made in the development of magnet-less nonreciprocity using space-time modulation, both in electromagnetics and acoustics. This approach has so far resulted in a plethora of non-reciprocal devices, such
In lossless acoustic systems, mode transitions are always time-reversible, consistent with Lorentz reciprocity, giving rise to symmetric sound manipulation in space-time. To overcome this fundamental limitation and break space-time symmetry, nonrecip
Emerging photonic functionalities are mostly governed by the fundamental principle of Lorentz reciprocity. Lifting the constraints imposed by this principle could circumvent deleterious effects that limit the performance of photonic systems. A variet
We demonstrate an ultra-compact waveguide taper in Silicon Nitride platform. The proposed taper provides a coupling-efficiency of 95% at a length of 19.5 um in comparison to the standard linear taper of length 50 um that connects a 10 um wide wavegui
Terahertz (THz) band is considered as the next frontier in wireless communications. The emerging THz multiplexing techniques are expected to dramatically increase the information capacity of THz communications far beyond a single channel limit. In th
