Slow light from sharp dispersion by exciting dark photonic angular momentum states

Not Accessible

Abstract

A photonic angular momentum state (PAMS) with a topological charge of m±1 is dipole forbidden at all polarizations of free-space incidence due to the existence of a unique helical phase. We show that by indirectly exciting dark PAMSs through coupling with a bright resonant element, a sharply variant transmission behavior and strong dispersion can be achieved. This behavior can subsequently be utilized in slow light. A metamaterial design, in which a group index ng greater than 500 can be achieved, is present.
