摘要: 通过实验研究了零平均折射率带隙中离散模的传输特性.零平均折射率带隙存在于左手材料与右手材料交替形成的一维光晶体中.在实验中,左手材料与右手材料分别由左,右手复合传输线和右手复合传输线实现.实验结果表明,左手材料与右手材料的色散特性使离散模并没有按照理论上期待的"单点频"传输,而是彻底地覆盖了零平均折射率带隙.由于左手材料在本质上是色散的,因此该实验结论普遍适用于零平均折射率带隙中的离散模,即离散模的出现会使零平均折射率带隙消失.Abstract: We experimentally investigate the discrete mode in the zero-average-refractive-index gap (the zero-n gap) of the one-dimensional periodical structures containing left-handed materials (LHMs) and right-handed materials (RHMs). When the discrete mode conditions are satisfied in the zero-n gap, there are no discrete propagating modes, but the zero-n gap completely vanishes. This behavior is attributed to the dispersive property of LHMs and RHMs. In addition, the theoretical expectation of the discrete modes with no sidelobes in the zero-ff gap never occurs in experiment because the LHMs is intrinsically dispersive.
