A novel analog real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) for the analysis of complex nonstationary signals (such as radar, security and instrumentation, and electromagnetic interference/compatibility signals) is presented, demonstrated, and characterized. This RTSA exploits the space-frequency mapping (spectral-spatial decomposition) property of the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) leaky-wave antenna (LWA) to generate the real-time spectrograms of arbitrary testing signals. Compared to digital RTSAs, it exhibits the advantages of instantaneous acquisition, low computational cost, frequency scalability, and broadband or ultra-wideband operation. The system is demonstrated both theoretically by a commercial full-wave simulator and an efficient Green's function approach and experimentally by a parallel-waveguide prototype including a metal-insulator-metal CRLH LWA, 16 patch antenna probe detectors circularly arranged around the LWA, and a digital oscilloscope performing analog/digital conversion and time-domain acquisition before the postprocessing and displaying of the spectrogram. The system is tested for a large diversity of nonstationary signals and generates, in all cases, spectrograms that are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. The fundamental tradeoff between time and frequency resolutions inherent to all RTSA systems is also discussed, and an interchangeable multi-CRLH LWA solution is proposed to handle signals with different time durations.

Spread-Spectrum Selective Camouflaging Based on Time-Modulated Metasurface

Xiaoyi Wang, Christophe Caloz

Summary: This article introduces the concept of spread-spectrum selective camouflaging based on time-modulated metasurface, where the object covered by the metasurface is perfectly camouflaged to foe radar due to drastic reduction of signal power spectral density, while the friend radar can detect the object using spread-spectrum demodulation key corresponding to the metasurface modulation, with robustness to interfering signals. The proposed system is theoretically analyzed and demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.

General Mapping Between Complex Spatial and Temporal Frequencies by Analytical Continuation

Mojtaba Dehmollaian, Christophe Caloz

Summary: This article presents a technique for mapping complex spatial and temporal frequencies of electromagnetic media and structures, utilizing analytical properties and polynomial fitting. It is not only applicable to canonical problems with analytical solutions, but also to general medium or structure problems from full-wave simulation results. The proposed technique is demonstrated on various systems and validated by analytical or simulated results.

Photonic Gap Antennas Based on High-Index-Contrast Slot Waveguides

Ashutosh Patri, Kevin G. Cognee, Louis Haeberle, Vinod Menon, Christophe Caloz, Stephane Kena-Cohen

Summary: Optical antennas made of low-loss dielectrics, known as photonic gap antennas (PGAs), exhibit high quantum efficiency and intensity enhancement due to their unique configuration with high-index pillar structures and low-index gap materials. By optimizing the position of the gap, PGAs can provide unidirectional out-of-plane radiation and enhance spontaneous emission rates by a factor of approximately 1000 for air gaps and approximately 400 for CYTOP gaps across a spectral bandwidth of about 300 nm at a wavelength of 1.25 μm. As receivers, PGAs can also lead to a near-field intensity enhancement by a factor of about 3000 for air gaps and approximately 1200 for CYTOP gaps.

Electrodynamics of Accelerated-Modulation Space-Time Metamaterials

Amir Bahrami, Zoe-Lise Deck-Leger, Christophe Caloz

Summary: Space-time-varying metamaterials based on uniform-velocity modulation have attracted significant attention in the past decade. This paper provides an extensive investigation of accelerated-modulation space-time metamaterials and establishes their electrodynamic principles using the tools of general relativity. The study reveals that an electromagnetic beam propagating in an accelerated-modulation metamaterial is bent, similar to the curvature of spacetime caused by gravitation. The paper also demonstrates the vast potential diversity of accelerated-modulation metamaterials through the illustration of related Schwarzschild holes.

Summary: This article presents a global and extended perspective of electrodynamic metamaterials formed by space and time engineered modulations, which we name generalized space-time engineered modulation (GSTEM) metamaterials, or GSTEMs. It discusses the physics and formation of GSTEMs and introduces accelerated metamaterials as an extra type of dynamic metamaterials. The article also explores the potential applications and future prospects of GSTEMs.

Generalized total internal reflection at dynamic interfaces

Zhiyu Li, Xikui Ma, Amir Bahrami, Zoe-Lise Deck-Leger, Christophe Caloz

Summary: Recent research developments have explored the alteration of fundamental physics phenomena in the presence of spacetime modulation, specifically in the area of spacetime metamaterial structures and systems. This study presents a generalized and comparative description of total internal reflection (TIR) at different dynamic interfaces, including classical interfaces, interfaces formed by electromagnetic modulation, and fixed interfaces between moving-matter media. The study introduces alternative criteria for the critical angle and validates the results using both analytical and full-wave analysis techniques, with potential applications in ultrafast optics, gravity analogs, and quantum processing.

Heat evacuation from active Raman media using frequency-selective dissipative coupling

Galina Nemova, Christophe Caloz

Summary: The proposed method involves using frequency-selective dissipative coupling in a coupled-waveguide structure to reduce the heat generated by CARS reversed cycles in active Raman media. This coupling involves an active Raman waveguide and a dissipative waveguide tuned to the anti-Stokes wavelength, which evacuates anti-Stokes photons to offset the growth of the anti-Stokes signal and suppress the heat generation.
