Insurgent Metamaterials: light transmission by forbidden transitions

Optics 2023-10-10 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

We introduce the concept of the ``insurgent metamaterial'' -- which is a hyperbolic medium that contains quantum emitters with a forbidden optical transition. We show that the resulting electromagnetic response of the composite is dramatically different from that expected from the ``conventional'' hyperbolic medium, and discuss the experimental manifestations of the predicted effect.
