Abstract

Metallic metamaterials with positive dielectric responses are promising as an alternative to dielectrics for the generation of Cerenkov radiation [J.-K. So et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 97(15), 151107 (2010)]. We propose here by theoretical analysis a mechanism to couple out Cerenkov radiation from the slab surfaces in the transverse direction. The proposed method based on Brillouin-zone folding is to periodically modify the thickness of the metamaterial slab in the axial direction. Moreover, the intensity of the surface-coupled radiation by this mechanism shows an order-of-magnitude enhancement compared to that of ordinary Smith-Purcell radiation.

Fig. 3 (a) Guided-mode dispersion characteristics of structure-II, along with a typical beam-mode dispersion line β( = v/c) = 0.5, the shaded and non-shaded regions indicating the non-radiating and radiating regimes, respectively. The first four lower dispersion intersecting points are represented by 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The folded bands are shown in solid lines, with the vertical dotted line indicating band-folding symmetry and with the points indicated by the arrows on the folded dispersion curve representing the points at which the momentums corresponding to points 2, 3 and 4, respectively, are shifted due to band folding. (b) Inside-slit and far-field (magnified 25 times) FFT spectrum of the Ex field of structure-II. (c) Ex field pattern at the typical angular frequency (ω = 2πc/p) of 0.12 for structure-II showing fields radiated from the top and bottom surfaces.
