Fano resonance due to Discrete Breather in Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Lattice in Metamaterials


Abstract: The richer variety of Klein-Gordon basis is already established for discrete breathers in metamatetrials. Based on this attempt, we show various anomalous Fano-resonance behaviors that have been experimentally observed, but cannot be explained by nonlinear Schrodinger model. Certain material parameters of K-G lattice in metamaterials are related for the first time with characteristics of Fano-resonance, which can be utilized for beam filtering and for high-resolution biological sensing technology. Although relations with coupling and other parameters exist, the most remarkable relation is observed with linear permittivity that could control the wave transmission characteristics in metamaterials for applications in optical engineering. 
Keywords: Fano Resonance, Discrete Breathers, Klein-Gordon Lattice, Metamaterials.

The novelty of this work is to deal with the physics of Fano resonance in case of discrete breathers in metamaterials in a Klein-Gordon lattice in terms of various material parameters, which may not be explained by nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE). Discrete breathers could affect the energy transport by scattering phonons similar to impurity in mesoscopic transport system giving rise to open and closed channels. The closed channel is considered to be generated in the localized regime by the discrete breathers where the interaction with the THz radiation could be intense and hence this also gives rise to the opportunity for beam-filtering. In literature, there is almost no work on metamaterials related to the application of Klein-Gordon equation for Fano resonance. Hence, certain material parameters of K-G lattice in such materials are related for the “first time” with characteristics of Fano-resonance. So, our main focus is to show how the material parameters of  K-G lattice influence the performance of metamaterials in terms of bio-sensitivity, spectral selectivity, etc.
