A Slot-Based Surface Plasmon-Polariton Waveguide With Long-Range Propagation and Superconfinement
A full-vector spectral element method (SEM) is applied to model and simulate surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) waveguides. Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) polynomials are used to construct higher-order basis functions to achieve spectral accuracy.

Subwavelength Grating Structures in Silicon‐on‐Insulator Waveguides [PDF]
First implementations of subwavelength gratings (SWGs) in silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) waveguides are discussed and demonstrated by experiment and simulations. The subwavelength effect is exploited for making antireflective and highly reflective waveguide facets as well as efficient fiber‐chip coupling structures.

Passive Metasurface Tweezers for Multi-Scale Orbital Transport and Trapping on Elastic Plates. [PDF]
Passive labyrinthine phase encoding converts single‐channel excitation into localized flexural‐wave vortices with programmable orbital angular momentum. The resulting vortex fields enable cross‐scale particle manipulation, including orbital transport, central confinement, and rotational actuation.
