Abstract
Strong localization of electromagnetic waves in 3D has never been experimentally achieved in uncorrelated disordered systems. By going beyond the paradigm of disordered systems, this goal has been recently reached in deterministic aperiodic planar Vogel spiral arrays in the microwave regime. Here we present a comprehensive description of the experimental details that have been used to observe electromagnetic localization in Vogel spirals beyond 2D. By providing an experimental roadmap to describe microwave transport in Vogel spirals we introduce a novel system platform to demonstrate electromagnetic localization in 3D that outperforms traditional disordered systems for that purpose.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optical Materials Express (OMEx), OSA''s open-access, rapid-review journal, primarily emphasizes advances in both conventional and novel optical materials, their properties, theory and modeling, synthesis and fabrication approaches for optics and photonics; how such materials contribute to novel optical behavior; and how they enable new or improved optical devices. The journal covers a full range of topics, including, but not limited to:
Artificially engineered optical structures
Biomaterials
Optical detector materials
Optical storage media
Materials for integrated optics
Nonlinear optical materials
Laser materials
Metamaterials
Nanomaterials
Organics and polymers
Soft materials
IR materials
Materials for fiber optics
Hybrid technologies
Materials for quantum photonics
Optical Materials Express considers original research articles, feature issue contributions, invited reviews, and comments on published articles. The Journal also publishes occasional short, timely opinion articles from experts and thought-leaders in the field on current or emerging topic areas that are generating significant interest.
