Abstract
© 2016 AIP Publishing LLC. We propose an alternative class of magneto-optical metamaterials offering enhanced angle of rotation in polarization compared to pure magneto-optical materials. In this approach, the permittivity tensor of a magneto-optical material is tailored by embedded wire meshes. We show that the angle of rotation in the magneto-optical metamaterial can be enhanced up to 9 times compared to pure magneto-optical material alone, while the polarization extinction ratio remains below -20dB over more than 2 THz bandwidth and the attenuation coefficient is approximately 1.5dB μm-1.
