Summary: | 碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 材料科學工程學系 === 105 === The optical responses of one dimensional hyperbolic metamaterials (1DHMMs) are usually determined by effective medium theory based on the long wavelength approximation. However, the long wavelength approximation shows significant deviation when the wavelength of the incident light is comparable with the unit cell of HMMs. Therefore, plasmonic band theory have been suggested to analyze the 1DHMMs recently and the existence of the interface state has been proposed. The requirement for the existence of the interface state is determined by the admittance matching condition. Furthermore, the interface state formation in the plasmonic band gap can be related to the properties of the plasmonic band in terms of the wave admittance, so called “bulk-interface correspondence”. In this work, we experimentally identify the existence of the interface state of 1DHMM by the Kretschmann and the Otto configurations. By varying the metallic filling ratio in the 1DHMMs, we successfully demonstrate the disappearance and reappearance of the interface state which indicates the optical topological phase transition of 1DHMMs.
