Soliton frequency shifts in subwavelength structures

Journal of Optics, 2015
We investigate the soliton frequency shifts for few-cycle ultrashort laser pulses propagating through resonant media embedded within subwavelength structures, and we elucidate the underlying physics. Full-wave Maxwell?Bloch equations are solved numerically by using the finite-difference time-domain method.

Photonic Time Crystals and Time‐Varying Electromagnetic Metamatter: A New Direction for Ultrafast Tunable Photonic and Microwave Materials and Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Photonic time crystals (PTCs) are systems in which electromagnetic parameters are modulated periodically in time, producing momentum bandgaps via temporal scattering rather than spatial Bragg processes. This review examines the theoretical frameworks, modeling, and computational tools for time‐varying media, and summarizes experimental demonstrations ...

Dielectric‐Confinement‐Induced in‐Plane Photoelectric Anisotropy in Isotropic Quasi‐1D γ‐GaS Nanoribbon

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate the geometry‐governed optoelectronic anisotropy arising from dielectric confinement in quasi‐1D γ‐GaS nanoribbons with intrinsically isotropic atomic structures. Dielectric mismatch between the nanoribbon and its surroundings leads to a general polarization‐dependent photoresponse during near‐field scattering.

Complex Band Structure for Subwavelength Evanescent Waves

Studies in Applied Mathematics
ABSTRACTWe present the mathematical and numerical theory for evanescent waves in subwavelength bandgap materials. We begin in the one‐dimensional case, whereby fully explicit formulas for the complex band structure, in terms of the capacitance matrix, are available.

TRIM: Simultaneous Thermometry, Ranging, and Imaging via a Monolithic Metalens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While metasurfaces offer a pathway beyond the discrete architectures of conventional LWIR systems, physically fusing high‐precision thermometry and passive ranging onto a single metalens remains a formidable challenge. Here, we demonstrate a monolithic, dual‐focus metalens capable of simultaneous multidimensional sensing.

Extreme‐Thickness Meta‐Membrane for Controlling Terahertz Vectorial Beams

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We propose ultra‐thin (λ/30) transmissive terahertz metasurfaces combining near‐field resonant and detour phases in coupled‐slit meta‐atoms, enabling continuous phase and polarization control beyond conventional designs. Based on leaky‐mode theory, scalar and vectorial terahertz Bessel beams at 0.39 THz are experimentally demonstrated, with ...

Chemically Programmable Underwater Sound‐Absorbing Metamaterial via MXene Self‐Assembly

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MXene self‐assembly creates a chemically programmable underwater metamaterial with quasi‐periodic layers and a chemical‐physical multi‐level constraint system. A crosslinker as a ‘chemical scissor’ precisely edits microscopic interactions, exciting deep‐subwavelength strong local resonances that induce near‐zero/negative effective bulk modulus (Keff ...

Super‐Resolution and High‐Data‐Density Acoustic Meta‐Hologram via Amplitude and Phase Coupling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A super‐resolution acoustic meta‐hologram utilizes amplitude‐phase coupling under energy conservation constraints to overcome the traditional diffraction limit. This conceptually advanced approach achieves high‐fidelity acoustic field reconstruction and dense information transmission, unlocking new potentials for high‐resolution acoustic imaging and ...
