Abstract

We investigate negative refraction directed by chirality under the condition of Raman gain process in Landau level of graphene. The coupling of magnetic dipole transition with an electric dipole transition leads to Raman gain induced chirality and observe negative refraction with positive permeability. The key idea of our system is to avoid absorption and get negative refraction without the need of simultaneous negative permittivity and permeability. We establish that negative index for refraction may be achieved with minimal absorption by using magnetoelectric cross-coupling to couple two mutually interfering Raman transitions via magnetic-dipole transition. Further, we examine the negative refraction via Doppler-broadened medium. Our proposed scheme may use to develop perfect lenses made from negative index materials that may provide a novel technique to resolve nanoscale objects, with far-reaching practical consequences.
