ABSTRACT We study both theoretically and experimentally the transmission properties of a lattice of split ring resonators (SRRs) for different electromagnetic (EM) field polarizations and propagation directions. We find unexpectedly that the incident electric field E couples to the magnetic resonance of the SRR when the EM waves propagate perpendicular to the SRR plane and the incident E is parallel to the gap-bearing sides of the SRR. This is manifested by a dip in the transmission spectrum. A simple analytic model is introduced to explain this interesting behavior. Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures

##### Article: A broadband planar terahertz metamaterial with nested structure.
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We demonstrate the broadening of fundamental resonance in terahertz metamaterial by successive insertion of metal rings in the original unit cell of a split ring resonator (SRR) forming an inter connected nested structure. With the subsequent addition of each inner ring, the fundamental resonance mode shows gradual broadening and blue shift. For a total of four rings in the structure the resonance linewidth is enhanced by a factor of four and the blue shift is as large as 316 GHz. The dramatic increase in fundamental resonance broadening and its blue shifting is attributed to the decrease in the effective inductance of the entire SRR structure with addition of each smaller ring. We also observe that while the fundamental resonance is well preserved, the dipolar mode resonance undergoes multiple splittings with the addition of each ring in the nest. Such planar metamaterials, possessing broadband resonant response in the fundamental mode of operation, could have potential applications for extending the properties of metamaterials over a broader frequency range of operations.

##### Article: Study and simulation of an edge couple split ring resonator (EC-SRR) on truncated pyramidal microwave absorber
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Split ring resonator (SRR) structure can potentially be incorporated onto the truncated pyramidal microwave absorber. This study considers three different patterns of edge couple split ring resonator (EC-SRR) designs. Each EC-SRR design is then placed onto the truncated pyramidal microwave absorber. Outer split gap dimension widths of the EC-SRR are varied, and the various S21 performances are compared. This EC-SRR truncated pyramidal microwave absorber is simulated using CST Microwave Studio simulation software. The study and simulation are performed in low frequency range (0.01GHz to 1GHz) as well as in microwave frequencies range (1GHz to 20GHz). Simulation results of this EC-SRR show improvement of reflection loss and S11 performance in the high frequency range of the pyramidal truncated microwave absorber.

##### Article: NSOM tips as subwavelength sources for azimuthally polarized light
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) is to reveal the distribution of the electromagnetic field around nanoscale objects. The full vectorial nature of this field is more difficult to measure than just its amplitude. It can only be fully reconstructed with exact knowledge of the optical properties of the probe. Here, we report and numerically explain that NSOM tips with a well-defined apex diameter selectively support azimuthally polarized light (|$E_{\text{azi}}$|$^2$/|$E_{\text{tot}}$|$^2$ $\approx$ 55$\,$% $\pm$ 5$\,$% for 1.4$\,$\mu m tip aperture diameter and \lambda$_0$ = 1550$\,$nm). We attribute the generation of azimuthal polarization in the metal-coated fiber tip to symmetry breaking in the bend and subsequent plasmonic mode filtering in the truncated conical taper.
