Nonlinear properties of split-ring resonators

Materials Science 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

In this letter, the properties of split-ring resonators (SRRs) loaded with high-Q capacitors and nonlinear varactors are theoretically analyzed and experimentally measured. We demonstrate that the resonance frequency fmf_m of the nonlinear SRRs can be tuned by increasing the incident power. fmf_m moves to lower and higher frequencies for the SRR loaded with one varactor and two back-to-back varactors, respectively. For high incident powers, we observe bistable tunable metamaterials and hysteresis effects. Moreover, the coupling between two nonlinear SRRs is also discussed.
