Description

An electromagnetic wave one-way stealth device and its preparation method Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electromagnetic wave stealth technology, and in particular to a one-way electromagnetic wave stealth device and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Electromagnetic stealth technology has always been a hot research topic in both military and civilian fields. Its core objective is to reduce the detectability of the stealthed object, thereby evading enemy detection equipment or improving the security of civilian equipment. With the continuous development of technology, electromagnetic stealth technology has also undergone several stages of evolution, but many challenges and limitations still exist.

[0003] Traditional electromagnetic stealth methods mainly include absorption or directional scattering stealth, making the object appear transparent to the observer, and mimicry stealth. While these methods can achieve stealth effects to some extent, each has significant shortcomings. Absorption or directional scattering stealth technology reduces the scattered energy received by the detector by absorbing electromagnetic waves or adjusting the radar cross-section of the object. This method is effective when there is no background field in space, or when the background field is ignored as the measurement object. However, in complex backgrounds, the stealth effect may be greatly reduced, and it may even accelerate exposure due to interference from background information.

[0004] The method of making an object appear transparent to the observer involves suppressing the object's scattering, ensuring that the probe wave is neither scattered nor absorbed in any direction. While this physically perfect invisibility is extremely attractive, it places extremely stringent requirements on the electromagnetic parameters of the materials, making it very difficult to achieve in practice and thus hindering its widespread application.

[0005] Mimicry cloaking works by adjusting the scattered light of an object to resemble its background environment, thus blending into the background and achieving invisibility. However, the effectiveness of this method is heavily dependent on the specific background environment; once the background environment changes, the invisibility effect is greatly reduced, thus limiting its application scenarios.

[0006] In summary, while electromagnetic stealth technology has achieved some success, it still faces numerous challenges, particularly in achieving unidirectional electromagnetic stealth and tunability. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new electromagnetic stealth device.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address this issue, this invention provides a unidirectional electromagnetic wave stealth device and its fabrication method, which solves the problem that existing technologies cannot achieve unidirectional electromagnetic wave stealth, i.e., stealth for electromagnetic waves incident from a specific direction, and generally lack tunability.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the three-dimensional structure of the device specifically includes:

[0019] Both the type I photonic crystal doped with loss impurities and the type I photonic crystal doped with gain impurities are composed of dielectric-metal composite spheres arranged in a cubic lattice, with square-section loss impurity dielectric pillars and gain impurity dielectric pillars respectively incorporated in the middle.

[0020] The type II photonic crystal containing the cloaked object is composed of dielectric-metal composite spheres arranged in a cubic lattice, with the cloaked object placed in the center.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dielectric-metal composite sphere in the type I photonic crystal has a center with a radius of r. 1m A non-magnetic metal with an outer layer having a relative permittivity of ε. 1d Relative permeability is 1, radius is r 1d The dielectric shell, in which radius r 1m The value range is 0.01a1–0.4a1, and the relative permittivity ε 1d The value range is 3–50, and the radius r 1d The range of values ​​for r is 1m –0.5a1, where a1 represents the lattice constant, with a value ranging from 0.01 mm to 1 m.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dielectric-metal composite sphere in the type II photonic crystal has a center with a radius of r. 2m A non-magnetic metal with an outer layer having a relative permittivity of ε. 2d Relative permeability is 1, radius is r 2dThe dielectric shell, in which radius r 2m The value range is 0.01a²–0.4a², and the relative permittivity ε 2d The value range is 3–50, and the radius r 2d The range of values ​​for r is 2m –0.5a2, where a2 represents the lattice constant, with a value ranging from 0.01 mm to 1 m.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] To address the problem that existing technologies cannot achieve unidirectional electromagnetic wave stealth, i.e., stealth for electromagnetic waves incident from a specific direction, and generally lack tunability, this invention proposes a unidirectional electromagnetic wave stealth device, as shown in Figure 1. This device includes a type I photonic crystal 1 doped with loss impurities 3, a type II photonic crystal 2 containing the object to be stolen 5, and a type I photonic crystal 1 doped with gain impurities 4. The type I photonic crystal 1 doped with loss impurities 3, the type II photonic crystal 2 containing the object to be stolen 5, and the type I photonic crystal 1 doped with gain impurities 4 are arranged sequentially.

[0044] The type I photonic crystal 1 has a Dirac cone-like dispersion, the type II photonic crystal 2 has a photonic bandgap, and the Dirac cone-like point frequency of the type I photonic crystal 1 is the same as the band edge frequency of the photonic bandgap of the type II photonic crystal 2.

[0045] The loss impurity 3 and the gain impurity 4 doped in the type I photonic crystal 1 satisfy the following conditions: their relative permittivity satisfies complex conjugation and their relative permeability is 1.

[0046] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this invention proposes a unidirectional electromagnetic wave stealth device, comprising a type I photonic crystal doped with loss impurities, a type II photonic crystal containing the object to be stolen, and a type I photonic crystal doped with gain impurities. The type I photonic crystal exhibits a Dirac cone-like dispersion, the type II photonic crystal has a photonic bandgap, and the Dirac cone-like point frequency of the type I photonic crystal is the same as the band edge frequency of the photonic bandgap of the type II photonic crystal. The loss impurities doped in the type I photonic crystal and the gain impurities doped in the type I photonic crystal satisfy the following conditions: their relative permittivity satisfies complex conjugation, and their relative permeability is 1. This invention's device can achieve electromagnetic wave stealth for an object placed at the center of the type II photonic crystal, and this stealth effect is independent of the material of the object being stolen. The stealth effect of this invention's device is unidirectional, meaning it only has stealth characteristics for electromagnetic waves incident on the side of the type I photonic crystal doped with loss impurities. At this time, the electromagnetic wave reflection is approximately 0, the transmittance is close to 1, and the outgoing wave maintains a flat wavefront. The stealth electromagnetic wave frequency of the device of this invention is tunable; by changing the structural dimensions of the photonic crystal, the frequency of the stealth electromagnetic wave can be altered. In principle, the stealth electromagnetic wave frequency can be located in the microwave, terahertz, infrared, or visible light bands.

[0047] In this embodiment, the present invention designs an electromagnetic wave unidirectional cloaking device consisting of a type I photonic crystal 1 doped with loss impurities 3 on the left, a type II photonic crystal 2 containing the cloaked object 5 in the middle, and a type I photonic crystal 2 doped with gain impurities 4 on the right, as shown in Figure 1. Specifically, the type I photonic crystal 1 has a Dirac cone-like dispersion, and the type II photonic crystal 2 has a photonic bandgap, and must satisfy the following: the Dirac cone-like point frequency of the type I photonic crystal 1 is the same as the band edge frequency of the photonic bandgap of the type II photonic crystal 2. For the loss impurities 3 doped in the type I photonic crystal 1 on the left and the gain impurities 4 doped in the type I photonic crystal 1 on the right, the following conditions must be met: their relative permittivity satisfies complex conjugation, and their relative permeability is 1.

[0048] Furthermore, a hidden object 5 is placed at the center of the Type II photonic crystal 2. Without the hidden object, the central object would strongly scatter the incident electromagnetic waves, making it easily detectable. However, under appropriate parameters, the device can achieve unidirectional cloaking of electromagnetic waves, meaning that electromagnetic waves incident from the left can pass through the entire device without reflection, maintaining a completely flat wavefront, unaffected by the central object.

[0049] The mechanism of the stealth device of this invention is as follows: A type I photonic crystal 1 doped with loss impurities 3 can absorb most of the incident electromagnetic waves, and the remaining small portion of electromagnetic energy is transferred to the right-side type I photonic crystal 1 via a type II photonic crystal 2. The electromagnetic energy is amplified by gain impurities 4 doped into the right-side type I photonic crystal 1, allowing the incident electromagnetic waves to be recovered on the right side. During this process, because the electromagnetic energy in the type II photonic crystal 2 is very low, the object to be stolen 5 placed in the middle will not significantly affect the overall transmission of the electromagnetic waves. Furthermore, the electromagnetic waves exhibit diffraction characteristics in the type II photonic crystal 2, which is located at the band edge frequency, enabling them to bypass the stolen object and ultimately achieve the stealth effect of the electromagnetic waves.

[0050] It should be noted that the above mechanism only applies to electromagnetic waves incident from the side of the Type I photonic crystal 1 doped with loss impurities 3. If the electromagnetic waves are incident from the side of the Type I photonic crystal 1 doped with gain impurities 4, there will be no electromagnetic wave stealth effect. Therefore, this electromagnetic wave stealth device is only effective for unidirectional incident electromagnetic waves, i.e., it is a unidirectional electromagnetic wave stealth device.

[0051] The stealth device can be either a two-dimensional planar structure or a three-dimensional solid structure. Specific implementation examples are as follows.

[0052] Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the two-dimensional stealth device. Both the Type I photonic crystal 1 (left) doped with loss impurity 3 and the Type I photonic crystal 1 (right) doped with gain impurity 4 are constructed from dielectric cylinders arranged in a cubic lattice. The dielectric cylinders have a relative permittivity ε1 ranging from 3 to 50, a relative permeability of 1, a lattice constant a1 ranging from 0.01 mm to 1 m, and a radius r1 ranging from 0.05a1 to 0.5a1. In the Type I photonic crystal 1, both the loss impurity 3 and the gain impurity 4 have a side length of 2a1, a relative permeability of 1, and relative permittivity ε1 and ε2, respectively. d,L and ε d,R , ε d,L and ε d,R The value range of ε is: both the real and imaginary parts are 3–50, where ε is... d,L and ε d,R They are mutually conjugate, that is... (The real parts are the same, and the imaginary parts are opposites of each other).

[0053] The Type II photonic crystal 2 containing the cloaked object 5 is composed of dielectric cylinders arranged in a square lattice, with the square cloaked object 5 placed in the center. The relative permittivity ε2 of the dielectric cylinders ranges from 3 to 50, the relative permeability is 1, the lattice constant a2 ranges from 0.01 mm to 1 m, and the radius r1 ranges from 0.05a2 to 0.5a2.

[0054] To achieve electromagnetic stealth, Type I photonic crystal 1 must possess a Dirac cone-like dispersion, and Type II photonic crystal 2 must possess a photonic bandgap. Furthermore, the following conditions must be met: the Dirac cone-like point frequency of Type I photonic crystal 1 must be the same as the band edge frequency of the photonic bandgap of Type II photonic crystal 2. This condition can be satisfied by adjusting the geometric and electromagnetic parameters of the two types of photonic crystals. Here, we take a1 = a2 = 16.2 mm, r1 = 3.75 mm, r2 = 3.55 mm, and ε1 = ε2 = 7.5.

[0055] Figure 3 shows the band diagrams of type I photonic crystal 1 and type II photonic crystal 2. It can be seen that type I photonic crystal 1 has a Dirac cone-like dispersion, while type II photonic crystal 2 has a significant photonic band gap. Furthermore, the Dirac cone-like point frequency of type I photonic crystal 1 is the same as the band edge frequency of the lower band of type II photonic crystal 2, both at 11.17 GHz.

[0056] To achieve electromagnetic wave stealth, the relative permittivity ε of the impurities doped in the Type I photonic crystal 1 also needs to be satisfied. d,L and ε d,R They are complex conjugates. Through parameter optimization, ε is chosen. d,L =1.84+0.26i, ε d,R =1.84-0.26i.

[0057] Figure 4 shows the simulation results using numerical software. A plane electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 11.17 GHz is incident from the air end on the left, and the center of the stealth device is a square object 5 to be hidden. The simulation results show that the electromagnetic wave reflectivity is about 0, the transmittance is close to 1, and the emitted electromagnetic wave maintains a flat wavefront, which indicates that the device has good electromagnetic wave stealth characteristics.

[0058] This stealth principle can also be extended to three-dimensional models. Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional stealth device. Both the Type I photonic crystal 1 (left) doped with loss impurity 3 and the Type I photonic crystal 1 (right) doped with gain impurity 4 are composed of dielectric-metal composite spheres arranged in a cubic lattice. In the Type I photonic crystal 1, the center of the dielectric-metal composite sphere has a radius of r. 1m Non-magnetic metals (such as copper and aluminum) with an outer layer having a relative permittivity of ε 1d Relative permeability is 1, radius is r 1d The dielectric shell, in which radius r 1m The value range is 0.01a1–0.4a1, and the relative permittivity ε 1d The value range is 3–50, and the radius r 1d The range of values ​​for r is 1m –0.5a1, where a1 represents the lattice constant, ranging from 0.01 mm to 1 m. Between the layers are square-section loss impurity 3 dielectric pillars and gain impurity 5 dielectric pillars, each with a side length of a1, a relative permeability of 1, and relative permittivity ε. d,L and ε d,R , ε d,L and ε d,R The value range of ε is: both the real and imaginary parts are 3–50, where ε is... d,L and ε d,R They are mutually conjugate, that is... (The real parts are the same, and the imaginary parts are opposites of each other).

[0059] The Type II photonic crystal 2, containing the cloaked object 5, is composed of dielectric-metal composite spheres arranged in a cubic lattice, with the cloaked object 5 placed in the center. The dielectric-metal composite spheres in the Type II photonic crystal 2 have a center radius of r. 2m Non-magnetic metals (such as copper and aluminum) with an outer layer having a relative permittivity of ε 2d Relative permeability is 1, radius is r 2d The dielectric shell, in which radius r 2m The value range is 0.01a²–0.4a², and the relative permittivity ε 2d The value range is 3–50, and the radius r 2d The range of values ​​for r is 2m–0.5a2, where a2 represents the lattice constant, with a value ranging from 0.01 mm to 1 m.

[0060] Similar to the two-dimensional model, to achieve electromagnetic wave invisibility, Type I photonic crystal 1 must possess a Dirac cone-like dispersion, and Type II photonic crystal 2 must possess a band gap. Furthermore, the following conditions must be met: the Dirac cone-like point frequency of Type I photonic crystal 1 must be the same as the band edge frequency of the band gap of Type II photonic crystal 2. This condition can be satisfied by adjusting the geometric and electromagnetic parameters of the two types of photonic crystals. Here, we take a1 = a2 = 12.8 mm, r... 1m =1.61mm, r 1d =5.12mm, r 2m =1.92mm, r 2d =4.65mm, ε1=30, ε 2d =35.03.

[0061] Figure 6 shows the three-dimensional band diagrams of Type I photonic crystal 1 and Type II photonic crystal 2. It can be seen that Type I photonic crystal 1 has a significant photonic band gap, while Type II photonic crystal 2 has a Dirac cone-like dispersion. Furthermore, the band edge frequencies of the two lower bands of Type I photonic crystal 1 are the same as the Dirac cone-like point frequencies of Type II photonic crystal 2, both at 6.274 GHz.

[0062] To achieve electromagnetic wave stealth, the relative permittivity ε of the impurities doped in the Type I photonic crystal 1 also needs to be satisfied. d,L and ε d,R They are complex conjugates. Through parameter optimization, ε is chosen. d,L =0.5+2.1i,ε d,R =0.5-2.1i.

[0063] Figure 7 shows the simulation results using numerical software. A plane electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 6.274 GHz is incident from the air end on the left, and the center of the stealth device is a cubic object 5 being concealed. The simulation results show that the electromagnetic wave reflectivity is approximately 0, the transmittance is close to 1, and the emitted electromagnetic wave maintains a flat wavefront, indicating that the device has excellent electromagnetic wave stealth characteristics.
