Abstract

We systematically study the Cherenkov optical emission by a nonrelativistic modulated source crossing 3D dispersive metamaterial. It is found that the interference of the field produced by the modulated source with the periodic plasmonic-polariton excitations leads to the specific interaction in the frequency range where the dispersive refractive index of a metamaterial is negative. Such resonance considerably modifies the spatial structure of the Cherenkov fieldand the reversed Cherenkov emission. In our study parameters of metamaterial and modulated source are fixed while the frequency spectrum of the plasmonic excitations is formed due to the fields interplay in the frequency domain.
