We show that optical magnetism, generally displayed by spatially modulated composite structures, can also occur in metamaterials with a permittivity rapidly modulated in time. Specifically, we analytically evaluate from first principles the effective dielectric and magnetic response of a temporal metamaterial. We identify and discuss the parameter regime where such temporal metamaterials can exhibit a strong effective diamagnetic response.

Abstract

We show that optical magnetism, generally displayed by spatially modulated composite structures, can also occur in metamaterials with a permittivity rapidly modulated in time. Specifically, we analytically evaluate from first principles the effective dielectric and magnetic response of a temporal metamaterial. We identify and discuss the parameter regime where such temporal metamaterials can exhibit a strong effective diamagnetic response.
