We show that infrared radiation impinging onto a one-dimensional array of grooves drilled in the superconductor electrode of a long overlap junction can improve matching between fluxon oscillations at THz frequencies and a spoof plasmon of comparable wavelength. This example proves that metamaterials can be very helpful in integrating superconductive and subwavelength optical circuits with optimized matching, bridging the gap between infrared and microwave radiation.

Abstract
We show that infrared radiation impinging onto a one-dimensional array of grooves drilled in the superconductor electrode of a long overlap junction can improve matching between fluxon oscillations at THz frequencies and a spoof plasmon of comparable wavelength. This example proves that metamaterials can be very helpful in integrating superconductive and subwavelength optical circuits with optimized matching, bridging the gap between infrared and microwave radiation.File in questo prodotto:
