Comment on “A waveguide slit array antenna fabricated with subwavelength periodic grooves Appl. Phys. Lett. 91, 143512 (2007)”
(AIP Publishing, 2008) Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Falcone Lanas, Francisco; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Campillo, Igor; Dolado, Jorge S.; Rodríguez Seco, J. E.; Perea, E.; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
We firmly think that it is proven that most of the ideas, results, and discussions presented in C. Huang, C. L. Du, and X. G. Luo, Appl. Phys. Lett. 91, 143512, 2007 were already present in our previous paper (M. Beruete, I. Campillo, J. S. Dolado, J. E. Rodríguez-Seco, E. Perea, F. Falcone, and M. Sorolla, IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag. 54, 340, 2006) and that the antenna design in Huang et al. cannot be considered original at all since it is identical to our design. The only innovative aspect in Huang et al. is the discussion about the multiple slit source.

The beauty of anisotropy in extraordinary transmission fishnet metamaterials
(2011) Navarro Cía, Miguel; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this work, we explore both numerically and experimentally, the possibility to obtain positive and negative refraction regimes that depend on the wave polarization, exploiting the strong anisotropy of extraordinary transmission fishnet metamaterials.

Regular and anomalous extraordinary optical transmission at the THz-gap
(Optical Society of America, 2009) Kuznetsov, Sergei A.; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Kubarev, V. V.; Gelfand, A. V.; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Campillo, Igor; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this paper Anomalous Extraordinary Transmission (ET) is reported for s-polarization of low loss doubly periodic subwavelength hole arrays patterned on polypropylene (PP) substrates by conventional contact photolithography at the so-called THz-gap (1-10 THz). The unexpected enhanced transmittance for s-polarization (i.e. without spoof plasmons) was previously numerically demonstrated in subwavelength slits arrays. However, subsequently no experimental work has been devoted to this unexpected Extraordinary Transmission neither in subwavelength slits nor in subwavelength holes. Here, numerical study and experimental results of the Anomalous ET and the symmetric and antisymmetric transmittance modes associated with the already well-known p-polarization ET are shown alongside a systematically analysis of the frequency peaks as a function of hole size for both incident polarizations.

Strong lateral displacement in polarization anisotropic extraordinary transmission metamaterial
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2010) Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this paper, a deep numerical as well as experimental study of the anisotropy response of extraordinary transmission metamaterials constructed by stacking subwavelength hole arrays is presented. Two-dimensional (2D) dispersion diagrams for S- and P-polarization were obtained from simulation. From them, it was found that negative refraction can be obtained for the latter case for small angles of incidence. Additionally, it was found that double periodic and dielectric loaded hole arrays are optimal to enlarge the numerical aperture that leads to negative refraction. Several experiments are then presented in the V-band of the millimetre-wave range that show excellent agreement with the numerical calculations. Moreover, the richness of the anisotropic characteristic exhibited by the stacked hole array structure allows for designing structures with complex electromagnetic response other than solely negative refraction. Thus, the results presented here could be taken as a novel route to achieve exotic behaviour, such as negative refraction at other frequency ranges, like terahertz or the visible.

Extraordinary transmission and left-handed propagation in miniaturized stacks of doubly periodic subwavelength hole arrays
(Optical Society of America, 2007) Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Falcone Lanas, Francisco; Campillo, Igor; Lomakin, Vitaliy; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
Metallic plates embedded between dielectric slabs and perforated by rectangular arrays of subwavelength holes with a dense periodicity in one of the directions support extraordinary transmission (ET) phenomena, viz. strong peaks in the transmittance frequency dependence. Stacks of such perforated plates support ET phenomena with propagation along the stack axis that is characterized by the left handed behavior. The incorporation of the dielectric materials and dense periodicity allows significantly reducing the illuminated area of the perforated plate required experimentally to observe the ET phenomena as compared to the areas required in the case of free standing rectangular hole arrays. This facilitates the experimental investigation of ET under excitation in the Fresnel zone of Gaussian beams.

Electromagnetic response of extraordinary transmission plates inspired on Babinet’s principle
(InTech, 2011) Navarro Cía, Miguel; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
This chapter is devoted to polarization effects arisen from perforated metallic plates exhibiting extraordinary transmission (ET). Setting aside the state-of-the-art of perforated metallic plates, we show that by applying Babinet’s principle, subwavelength hole arrays (SHAs) arranged in rectangular lattice can further enhance its potential polarization response. Different perspectives are brought about to describe and understand the particular behaviour of self-complementariness-based SHAs: Babinet’s principle, equivalent circuit analysis, retrieved constitutive parameters, etc. Afterwards, we embark on the numerical analysis of stacked self-complementariness-based perforated plates. It is shown the potential of having a birefringent artificial medium behaving like negative and positive effective refractive index for the vertical and horizontal polarization, respectively. All these findings are experimentally demonstrated at millimetre-waves.

Low profile THz periodic leaky-wave antenna
(IEEE, 2014) Beaskoetxea Gartzia, Unai; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Rodríguez Ulibarri, Pablo; Etayo Salinas, David; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Zehar, Mokhtar; Blary, Karine; Chahadih, Abdallah; Han, Xiang-Lei; Akalin, Tahsin; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this work, a 0.566THz flat leaky-wave antenna, consisting of a central λ0/2 slot surrounded by straight parallel wedge corrugations, is numerically and experimentally analyzed. Simulations show a moderately high gain and no significant differences when compared with a typical square corrugation profile. Numerical comparison is also made for the designed and manufactured antennas. High transmission enhancement in the corrugated case is obtained, compared to that given by a single central slot with no grooves. This kind of antennas finds several applications in different frequency ranges, including the nowadays high-interest range of the THz.

Circuit approach to the minimal configuration of terahertz anomalous extraordinary transmission
(American Institute of Physics, 2011) Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Kuznetsov, Sergei A.; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this letter we present an in-depth circuit analysis of anomalous extraordinary transmission ET through subwavelength slit and hole arrrays loaded by a dielectric slab. We show the key role played by the thickness of the dielectric slab in order to enhance the transmission for TE-polarized waves incident electric field parallel to the slits or to the short in-plane period in hole arrays arranged in rectangular lattice within the cut-off regime of the apertures and to suppress Wood’s anomaly. Analytical and numerical results together with experimental data are presented, showing good agreement among them. This work provides physical insight of the underlying mechanism governing anomalous ET and offers further independent control over orthogonal polarized waves impinging into subwavelength aperture arrays.

Experimental demonstration of a millimeter-wave metallic ENZ lens based on the energy squeezing principle
(IEEE, 2015) Torres Landívar, Víctor; Orazbayev, Bakhtiyar; Pacheco-Peña, Víctor; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Navarro Cía, Miguel; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
The performance of an epsilon-near zero (ENZ) plano-concave lens is experimentally demonstrated and verified at the D-band of the millimeter-waves. The lens is comprised of an array of narrow metallic waveguides near cut-off frequency, which effectively behaves as an epsilon-near-zero medium at 144 GHz. A good matching with free space is achieved by exploiting the phenomenon of energy squeezing and a clear focus with a transmission enhancement of 15.9 dB is measured. The lens shows good radiation properties with a directivity of 17.6 dBi and low cross-polar components of -34 dB. All results are supported by numerical simulations.
