Abstract

We investigated the splitting of surface electromagnetic waves trapped at the output surface of a one-dimensional metallic grating structure. The output gratings of the structure asymmetrically such that the output surfaces at the different sides of the subwavelength aperture can support surface waves at different frequencies. The transmission amplitude as measured at the left side is 1,000 times of that at the right side at 16 GHz. At 24 GHz, the transmission measured at the right side is 20 times that of the left side of the structure. Therefore, surface waves are guided into the different sides of the aperture at different frequencies via metallic gratings. The experimental results are in agreement with the theoretical results.

Figures (6)
Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. (a). The metallic (Al) grating structure has a subwavelength (2 mm) aperture at the center, in which the grating heights are 4 mm. The thickness of the structure t=16 mm. The period of the input grooves is 16 mm (b=8 mm) and the grating period of the output surface on one side of the aperture is 22 mm (a=11 mm), while the grating period on the other side is 14 mm (c=7 mm). (b) Experimental set-up for transmission measurements.

Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. The surface-waves guided through the left side (side with an output grating period of 22 mm) were at 16 GHz, while the EM waves guided through the right side of the aperture were at 24 GHz. These results are in good agreement with the FDTD calculations. The transmission amplitude measured at the left side is 1,000 times that of the right side, which is at 16 GHz. At 24 GHz, the transmission measured at the right side is 20 times that of the left side of the structure.

Fig. 3. The calculated E-field amplitude distributions were at (a) 16 GHz and (b) 24 GHz. The surface splitting phenomena occurs because the wave vector of the SP mode match that of the EM waves at 16 GHz for the left side of the aperture, while at 24 GHz for the right side. Red indicates the maximum and blue indicates the minimum.

Fig. 4. The calculated (a) z and (b) x dependence of the E-field distributions were at 16 GHz and (c) z and (d) x dependence of the E-field distributions were at 24 GHz. These modes are bound to the surface and do not mostly leak into free space.
