Topological photonics emerged as a novel route to engineer the flow of light. Topologically protected photonic edge modes, which are supported at the perimeters of topologically nontrivial insulating bulk structures, are of particular interest as they may …
Owing to their wide direct bandgap tunability, III-nitride (III-N) compound semiconductors have been proven instrumental in the development of blue light-emitting diodes that led to the so-called solid-state lighting revolution and blue laser diodes that are …
Last decade, halide perovskites demonstrate high potential for efficient, tunable, and cheap photonic sources. Recently, single-particle perovskite lasers of various compositions and shapes with all dimensions close or smaller than the emitted wavelengths …
Targeted drug delivery and real-time detection both play an important role for studying the specificity of a single cancer cell and the development of anticancer drugs. However, a method that simultaneously enables safe and efficient targeted drug delivery …
We revisit plasmon modes in nanoparticle dimers with conductive or insulating junction resulting in conductive or capacitive coupling. In our study, which combines electron energy loss spectroscopy, optical spectroscopy, and numerical simulations, we show the …
Self-similar fractals provide a degree of freedom for varying the resonance frequency due to the multiscale geometric features involved and are an ideal candidate for ultrabroadband absorbing devices – especially in the terahertz (THz) band where there is a …
A strategy is proposed to achieve wideband tunable perfect plasmonic absorption in graphene nanoribbons by employing attenuated total refraction (ATR) in Otto prism configuration. In this configuration, the Otto prism with a deep-subwavelength dielectric …
Coupled light-matter modes supported by plasmonic metasurfaces can be combined with topological principles to yield subwavelength topological valley states of light. This study gives a systematic presentation of the topological valley states available for …
The effect of V-pits in the upper waveguide (UWG) on device performance of GaN-based laser diodes (LDs) has been studied. Experimental results demonstrate that in comparison with the LDs with u-In0.017Ga0.983N/u-GaN multiple UWG or u-In0.017Ga0.983N one, the …
Adaptive metasurfaces (MSs) provide immense control over the phase, amplitude and propagation direction of electromagnetic waves. Adopting phase-change materials (PCMs) as an adaptive medium allows us to tune functionality of MSs at the meta-atom length scale …
Terahertz resonant nanoantennas have recently become a key tool to investigate otherwise inaccessible interactions of such long-wavelength radiation with nano-matter. Because of their high-aspect-ratio rod-shaped geometry, resonant nanoantennas suffer from …
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have a wide range of applications because of their localized surface plasmon resonance properties. Femtosecond laser is considered to be an effective method for preparing Au NPs because of its characteristics of ultrashort …
In this paper, a dual-band reflective meta-hologram is designed providing two distinct information channels whose field intensity distributions can be independently manipulated at the same time. The proposed pure-phase meta-hologram is composed of several …
Topological optics is an emerging research area in which various topological and geometrical ideas are being proposed to design and manipulate the behaviors of photons. Here, the photonic spin Hall effect on the surfaces of topological Weyl semimetal (WSM) …
