AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on multilayer fishnet optical metamaterials, examining their unique anisotropic properties.
  • The researchers describe how these materials transition between elliptic and hyperbolic dispersion regimes.
  • Unlike typical hyperbolic media, these fishnet metamaterials can exhibit negative values in both effective permittivity and permeability, enabling new types of magnetic hyperbolic and indefinite media.

Article Abstract

We study the anisotropic properties of multilayer fishnet optical metamaterials and describe topological transitions between the elliptic and hyperbolic dispersion regimes. In contrast to other hyperbolic media, multilayer fishnet metamaterials may have negative components not only in the effective permittivity tensor but also in the effective permeability tensor, thus allowing the realization of magnetic hyperbolic and generalized indefinite media.
