Here we report about the strain-tuned dipolar spin-wave coupling in the adjacent system of yttrium iron garnet stripes, which were strain-coupled with the patterned piezoelectric layer. Spatially-resolved laser ablation technique was used for structuring

Balancing the complexity and the simplicity has played an important role in the development of many fields in science and engineering. As Albert Einstein was once quoted to say: 'Everything must be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler'. The simplicity of an idea brings versatility of that idea into a broader domain, while its complexity ...

Supertoroidal light pulses as electromagnetic skyrmions propagating in free space
Topology in electromagnetic fields can lead to a range of intriguing and unexpected phenomena. Here the authors describe a family of supertoroidal light pulses that exhibit skyrmionic topological structure flying in free space.

Toy model of harmonic and sum frequency generation in 2D dielectric nanostructures
Optical nonlinearities of matter are often associated with the response of individual atoms. Here, using a toy oscillator model, we show that in the confined geometry of a two-dimensional dielectric nanoparticle a collective nonlinear response of the ...

We study the dispersion of electromagnetic waves in a spatially dispersive metamaterial with Lorentz-like dependence of principal permittivity tensor components on the respective components of the wave vector performing the analysis of isofrequency contours. The considered permittivity tensor describes a triple non-connected wire medium.

Electronically steered metasurface antenna
Mobile devices, climate science, and autonomous vehicles all require advanced microwave antennas for imaging, radar, and wireless communications. We propose a waveguide-fed metasurface antenna architecture that enables electronic beamsteering from a ...

Metamaterials and imaging [PDF]
Resolution of the conventional lens is limited to half the wavelength of the light source by diffraction. In the conventional optical system, evanescent waves, which carry sub-diffraction spatial information, has exponentially decaying amplitude and therefore cannot reach to the image plane.
