Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs. [PDF]
Abstract Spontaneous emission is one of the most fundamental out-of-equilibrium processes in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. In this process, a photon is emitted that can interact with other nearby emitters and establish quantum correlations between them, e.g., via super and ...

Single-shot on-chip spectral sensors based on photonic crystal slabs. [PDF]
Miniaturized components have significant potential for portable applications. Here, the authors demonstrate a spectrometer and hyperspectral imager based on photonic-crystal slabs which can enable single-shot imaging on a compact chip.

Light Absorption in Nanowire Photonic Crystal Slabs and the Physics of Exceptional Points: The Shape Shifter Modes. [PDF]
Semiconductor nanowire arrays have been demonstrated as promising candidates for nanoscale optoelectronics applications due to their high detectivity as well as tunable photoresponse and bandgap over a wide spectral range.

Formation mechanism of guided resonances and bound states in the continuum in photonic crystal slabs. [PDF]
We develop a formalism, based on the mode expansion method, to describe the guided resonances and bound states in the continuum (BICs) in photonic crystal slabs with one-dimensional periodicity.

Merging of Accidental Bound States in the Continuum in Symmetry and Symmetry-Broken Terahertz Photonic Crystal Slabs. [PDF]
Recently, the merging of accidental bound states in the continuum (BICs) has attracted significant attention due to the enhanced light–matter interactions.

Generalized non-Hermitian Hamiltonian for guided resonances in photonic crystal slabs. [PDF]
We develop a generalized non-Hermitian Hamiltonian formalism for guided resonances in photonic crystal slabs, derived directly from Maxwell’s equations through a systematic guided-mode expansion.

Optical Refractive Index Sensing Based on High-Q Bound States in the Continuum in Free-Space Coupled Photonic Crystal Slabs. [PDF]
High sensitivity (S) and high quality factor (Q) are desirable to achieve low detection limit in label-free optical sensors. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that single-layer and coupled bi-layer photonic crystal slabs (PCS) possess ...
