Negative group velocity and three-wave mixing in dielectric crystals

, 2011
Extraordinary features of optical parametric amplification of Stokes electromagnetic waves are investigated, which originate from three-wave mixing of two ordinary electromagnetic and one backward phonon wave with negative group velocity.

Transient Terahertz Oscillations During Photoinduced Polarization Topology Reconfiguration in Ferroelectric Superlattices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Terahertz resonances in crystalline heterostructures could close a spectral gap between conventional electronics and photonics while opening new windows on non‐equilibrium lattice dynamics. Femtosecond optical screening of the depolarization field in epitaxial PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices launches a collective polar mode that oscillates near 1 THz and ...

Fluid-loaded metasurfaces

, 2017
We consider wave propagation along fluid-loaded structures which take the form of an elastic plate augmented by an array of resonators forming a metasurface, that is, a surface structured with sub-wavelength resonators.

Thermally Programmable Two‐Port Non‐Hermitian Acoustic Metastructure for Broadband and Direction‐Dependent Absorption

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thermally programmable two‐port non‐Hermitian acoustic metastructure is presented, where temperature acts as a non‐geometric tuning variable. Thermal modulation reconfigures impedance matching and loss‐leakage coupling, enabling exceptional‐point driven, broadband, and direction‐dependent sound absorption without requiring geometric reconfiguration ...
