Figure 6. Demonstration of backscattering-immune strongly dissipative defect.
(a) Simulated field pattern when metallic rods of a lattice ring gradually decrease their heights to zero (shown in the inset; from s1 to s7, s1=4.7 mm, s2=4.1 mm, s3=3.5 mm, s4=2.9 mm, s5=2.3 mm, s6=1.7 mm and s7=1.0 mm). Metal is modelled as a perfect electric conductor in simulation. (b) Observed field pattern corresponding to simulation in a.
