Self-Configuring Universal Linear Optical Component [PDF]
, 2013 We show how to design an optical device that can perform any linear function or coupling between inputs and outputs. This design method is progressive, requiring no global optimization.

Boyer-Lindquist space-times and beyond: Meta-material analogues [PDF]
, 2018 Physically reasonable stationary axisymmetric spacetimes can (under very mild technical conditions) be put into Boyer-Lindquist form. Unfortunately a metric presented in Boyer-Lindquist form is not well-adapted to the "quasi-Cartesian" meta-material ...

Comparison of different forms for the "spin" and "orbital" components of the angular momentum of light [PDF]
, 2011 We compare three attempts that have been made to decompose the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field into components of an "orbital" and "spin" nature. All three expressions are different and it appears, on the basis of classical electrodynamics,

Metamaterials for light rays: ray optics without wave-optical analog in the ray-optics limit [PDF]
, 2009 Volumes of sub-wavelength electromagnetic elements can act like homogeneous materials: metamaterials. In analogy, sheets of optical elements such as prisms can act ray-optically like homogeneous sheet materials.

Spontaneous radiation of a finite-size dipole emitter in hyperbolic media [PDF]
, 2011 We study the radiative decay rate and Purcell effect for a finite-size dipole emitter placed in a homogeneous uniaxial medium. We demonstrate that the radiative rate is strongly enhanced when the signs of the longitudinal and transverse dielectric ...

Nonlinearity Induced Critical Coupling [PDF]
, 2013 We study a critically coupled system (Opt. Lett., \textbf{32}, 1483 (2007)) with a Kerr-nonlinear spacer layer. Nonlinearity is shown to inhibit null-scattering in a critically coupled system at low powers.

Magnifying absolute instruments for optically homogeneous regions [PDF]
Phys. Rev. A 84, 031801(R) (2011), 2011 We propose a class of magnifying absolute optical instruments with a positive isotropic refractive index. They create magnified stigmatic images, either virtual or real, of optically homogeneous three-dimensional spatial regions within geometrical optics.

The Optimal Geometry of the Acousto-Optic Interaction in Selected Crystalline Materials Determined by Extreme Surfaces Method [PDF]
2019 IEEE 8th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics
and Lasers (2019) 1-5, 2020 The optimal geometries of the acousto-optic interaction are determined by extreme surfaces method for a number of acousto-optic crystals.
