One attractive area is energy transfer using low frequency magnetic waves or wireless power transfer (WPT). Previous reports have presented an isotropic metamaterial with μr = −1 as a “perfect lens” to focus energy and enhance WPT efficiency. In this work, we show that, while the perfect lens condition does enhance efficiency, anisotropic MMs with μr ≠ −1 can provide a larger enhancement in efficiency. These “non-perfect” lenses offer higher efficiency by enhancing the coupled field while incurring lower losses in the magnetostatic waves excited in or on the materials.}, number={14}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Harris, William Carter and Stancil, Daniel D. and Ricketts, David S.}, year={2019}, month={Apr} } @inproceedings{harris_nicholst_abbasi_ricketts_2016, title={A Versatile mm-wave micromachined anti-reflective layer}, DOI={10.1109/apmc.2016.7931298}, abstractNote={Micromachined millimeter-wave anti-reflective layers (mm-AR) offer a highly customizable and effective method to maximize power transmission through dielectric media. The power transmitted through an air-dielectric interface is maximized by adding an anti-reflective layer whose thickness is a quarter-wavelength and whose dielectric constant is the geometric mean of air and the dielectric, in analogous fashion to a quarter-wave transformer in transmission line theory. The mm-AR is an artificial dielectric material with controlled thickness and dielectric constant. A DRIE process forms a sub-wavelength lattice in a substrate that controls the material's effective dielectric response. The resulting anti-reflective layers were used to improve transmission through a silicon-air interface from an average of 40% across the W-band to 95%. While silicon was used in this work, the demonstrated impedance matching technique can be used for a wide variety of dielectric materials.}, booktitle={2016 asia-pacific microwave conference (apmc2016)}, author={Harris, W. and Nicholst, T. and Abbasi, M. and Ricketts, D.}, year={2016} }
