Artificial distributed-index media fabricated by zero-order gratings

Stork, W., Streibl, N., Haidner, H., Kipfer, P.·1991·Optics Letters

Abstract

Zero-order gratings are grating structures with a period that is small compared with the wavelength of light. Only the directly transmitted or reflected light, the zero diffraction order, is nonevanescent and propagates in a distance from the grating. Thus the grating behaves like a slab of ordinary homogeneous material with an effective refractive index. By varying the material composition, i.e., by variation of the duty cycle of the grating, the effective refractive index can be changed. A grating with variable duty cycle therefore behaves like a material with distributed index. Based on such artificial materials, distributed-index elements are proposed. The physical principle is demonstrated with water waves.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
