Toroidal plasmonic metamaterial
Toroidal plasmonic metamaterial
We report on the development of toroidal metamaterials operating in the near-to-far IR spectral range. The toroidal metamaterials is a recently demonstrated novel class of artificial media with the resonant macroscopic response determined by a peculiar and previously disputed fundamental type of microscopic dipolar excitations, the toroidal dipole. Taking into account limitations of the most suited fabrication techniques (namely Sandia's projection lithography SAMPL and NTU's e-beam lithography with precise alignment technique) and using realistic data for the optical properties of the constituent dielectrics and metals, we have come up with a substantially optimised design of such metamaterials capable of producing dominant toroidal response at IR frequencies. We have also investigated the possibility of enhancing toroidal response by incorporating gain into the metamaterials' structure.

Abstract
We report on the development of toroidal metamaterials operating in the near-to-far IR spectral range. The toroidal metamaterials is a recently demonstrated novel class of artificial media with the resonant macroscopic response determined by a peculiar and previously disputed fundamental type of microscopic dipolar excitations, the toroidal dipole. Taking into account limitations of the most suited fabrication techniques (namely Sandia's projection lithography SAMPL and NTU's e-beam lithography with precise alignment technique) and using realistic data for the optical properties of the constituent dielectrics and metals, we have come up with a substantially optimised design of such metamaterials capable of producing dominant toroidal response at IR frequencies. We have also investigated the possibility of enhancing toroidal response by incorporating gain into the metamaterials' structure.
