Analytical Modeling of the Admittance Tensor of Periodic Elliptical Meta-Atoms
A metasurface is an electrically thin interface that controls the phase, amplitude and polarization of a wave, upon reflection or transmission.Machine learning classification of dynamical phases in a driven nonlinear Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice
Driven nonlinear photonic lattices can settle into steady, symmetry-broken, periodic, or chaotic states, and mapping where each occurs in parameter space is key to device design.Reprogrammable polaritonic skyrmion and meron lattices based on the phase-change material In$_3$SbTe$_2$
Optical topological quasiparticles such as skyrmions and merons consist of engineered electromagnetic fields which can be realized via the controlled interference of polaritons.Deep-learning surrogate model for rapid quantum-noise computation in dual-pump fiber-optic phase-sensitive amplifiers
Fiber-optic parametric amplifiers in a phase-sensitive amplifier (PSA) configuration are well known for their low noise properties.Polynomial-time classical simulation of boson and fermion sampling under thermal loss
Sampling experiments are a leading approach to demonstrating quantum computational advantage, yet their robustness to experimental noise is not completely understood.Dynamical effects induced by synthetic SU(1,1) gauge fields
Compact gauge fields are powerful tools for controlling quantum dynamics and topological phases of matter.Room-Temperature Quantum Emission from Boron Nitride Nanotubes
Quantum information systems such as quantum key distribution and quantum communications require bright, high-purity, stable sources of single photons to act as carriers of quantum information.Time-resolved infrared spectroscopy with entangled photons and visible-light detection
Time-resolved infrared (TR-IR) spectroscopy reveals molecular structural changes and charge-carrier dynamics on their intrinsic timescales, in photosynthesis, catalysis and optoelectronic materials…Optical angular momentum and pseudospin-orbit coupling in photonic graphene
We investigate the dynamics of structured laser beams carrying angular momentum (AM) as they undergo conical diffraction in photonic graphene.Collectively pumped superradiant laser with coherence scaling beyond the standard quantum limit
For more than half a century, the standard quantum limit (SQL) was thought to limit the laser coherence $\mathfrak{C}$ -- the number of photons emitted from the laser into the beam in one coherence…Perturbation-Based Reconstruction of Depth-Resolved OCT Attenuation without Requiring a Fully Decayed Signal Tail
Depth-resolved attenuation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) can provide quantitative optical contrast beyond structural imaging.Single-sided lens terahertz flat-top beam shaping in the Fresnel region
In this paper, a novel, to our knowledge, analytical approach is introduced for the design of a single-sided plano-convex lens (PCL) capable of terahertz (THz) flat-top beam shaping in the Fresnel…Millimeter-Wave Gaussian-to-Flat-Top Beam Shaping Using a Single-Curvature Lens: A Novel Approach
This paper presents a novel method for converting the divergent Gaussian intensity distribution of a millimeter-wave source into a uniform (flat-top) distribution using a single curved surface.Colloidal 2D WS2 nanosheets exhibiting high-purity single photon emission
The search for quantum emitters, delivering single photons "on demand" at cryogenic and elevated temperatures for photonic technologies is ever progressing.BIC-Engineered Silicon Nitride Microring Resonators Enabled by an Etch-Free Laser-Writing Approach
We report the initial experimental demonstration of a complementary, etch-free approach with fewer fabrication steps, in useful SU-8 ridges written by direct ultraviolet laser lithography on an…Closed-form dyadic Green functions for transversely uniaxial bianisotropic medium with equal magnetoelectric scalars
A transversely uniaxial bianisotropic medium with equal magnetoelectric scalars was conceived by Weiglhofer in 1994.Spatial structure of surface plasmon resonance under narrow-beam illumination and its implications for sensing
The reflection of light on a surface plasmon resonance structure can be understood as the interference between the direct Fresnel reflection and the light radiated back by the plasmon as it…Hyperbolic Nanocavities for Single-Molecule Vibrational Strong Coupling
Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) in low-loss anisotropic materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) provide extreme sub-diffractional field confinement in the mid-infrared, making them…A Design Rule for Passive Reconfigurable Microwave Devices
Every reconfigurable microwave device places a tuning element - a varactor, a diode, transistor, microelectromechanical or phase-change switch, a ferroelectric or liquid-crystal load - inside a…Evanescent-Depth-Engineered High-Q topological Cavities for Strong Photon-Exciton Coupling
Due to the inherent scattering in topological edge states, the topological resonant cavity (TRC) formed by their interference exhibits a relatively low quality factor (Q).
