Dispersion
Dispersion relation with loss - very large k, flat dispersion
- also note superluminal part

1. Can a material response attain arbitrary values?
No – Kramers-Kronig bound mean that Re e brings Im e
2. Extreme confinement appears nice for optical circuits
But pulsed signals disperse – phase, group & energy velocity

Kramers-Kronig
2013 / 5
Can a material have arbitrary real and imaginary e ?
No: material response functions are constrained by
causality
Frequency domain
Time domainNote how convolution turns to product
Physics: no response before cause
![Page 6: Plasmonics - amolf.nl · 1 Plasmonics Femius Koenderink Center for Nanophotonics AMOLF, Amsterdam Plasmon: elementary excitation of a plasma (gas of free charges) Plasmonics…](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022021706/5b8edd1809d3f28c298b9c04/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Kramers Kronig
Either you have non-dispersive vacuum e=1, i.e., c=0, or
- A window of real c implies a window of absorption
- Real c(w) >0 means c(w) < 0 at other w (to avoid gain)
- “No dispersion” but a refractive index not 1 is impossible
Considerations hold for any physical response function

Typical solids
Absorption bands close to
intrinsic resonances
Real n to the red
also outside absorption
Most materials have ’normal
dispersion’, i.e.,
goes up with energy
is higher towards the blue
is higher towards short
Until you go through an absorption resonance

Phase velocity
Suppose now I have a wave packet

Note that at x=0, this is just a pulse

known as the group velocity

Take home messages
• Phase velocity describes phase front propagation
You get it from the ratio of w/c and |k|
• For weak absorption, group velocity describes Gaussian envelope
• Strong dispersion also entails strong absorption
• Superluminal phase and group velocities are common
• These are irrelevant to describe pulse-energy propagation
• Pulse break up (group velocity dispersion)
• Strong attenuation
Plasmonics is strongly dispersive and at superluminality paradox
Confinement, dispersion and absorption are all linked

Claim: The negative index slab creates a perfect image by ‘amplifying’ the evanescent field via surface modes
Surface modes
Does amplification violateenergy conservation ?
1). Evanescent wave has noflux along z
2) n=-1 is only possible as a resonant effectneeds time to build up

Take home messages
• Metals allow very strong confinement
• Kramers-Kronig: non-trivial Re e implies loss
• Very strong confinement, means very strong dispersion
Phase, group and energy velocity
• Maxwell-equations allow negative refraction and cloaks
• Transformation optics – derive required e and m from function
• Effective media can “spoof” unavailable e and m
• Metamaterial idea extends to
mechanics, sound, heat, current,…
• Why spoof a volume, if even a metasurface provides function..
