Subwavelength metal grating metamaterial for polarization selective optical antireflection coating [PDF]
A metamaterial structure consisting of a one-dimensional metal/air-gap subwavelength grating is investigated for optical antireflection coating on germanium substrate in the infrared regime. For incident light polarized perpendicularly to the grating lines, the metamaterial exhibits effective dielectric property and Fabry-Perot like plasmon-coupled ...

Arbitrarily-Wide-Band Dielectric Mirrors and Their Applications to SiGe Solar Cells
The dielectric mirror is an important optical component for optoelectronic devices, passive photonic devices, and solar cells. Unfortunately, the reflection bandwidth of distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) and high-index contrast mirrors (HCGs) are ...

Inverse designed extended depth of focus meta-optics for broadband imaging in the visible
We report an inverse-designed, high numerical aperture (∼0.44), extended depth of focus (EDOF) meta-optic, which exhibits a lens-like point spread function (PSF).

Topologically protected edge modes in one-dimensional chains of subwavelength resonators [PDF]
The goal of this paper is to advance the development of wave-guiding subwavelength crystals by developing designs whose properties are stable with respect to imperfections in their construction. In particular, we make use of a locally resonant subwavelength structure, composed of a chain of high-contrast resonators, to trap waves at deep subwavelength ...

Guiding and Confining Light in Low-Index Circularly Symmetric Waveguides
A circularly symmetric waveguide with a low-index ring inside the core has been proposed and studied comprehensively. By taking advantage of the azimuthal TM01 mode, the structure can confine light inside the low-index region with very high power ...

Experimental observation of superscattering [PDF]
Superscattering, induced by degenerate resonances, breaks the fundamental single-channel limit of scattering cross section of subwavelength structures; in principle, an arbitrarily large total cross section can be achieved via superscattering.

Subwavelength Energy Transport Along a Dielectric Nanoparticle Chain in a Metal Slot
Subwavelength energy transportation along a dielectric nanoparticle chain in a metal slot is investigated. It is demonstrated that subwavelength resonance modes with nanoscale confinement could be well achieved in the proposed waveguide, free from the ...

Dark-field hyperlens: Super-resolution imaging of weakly scattering objects [PDF]
We propose and numerically demonstrate a technique for subwavelength imaging based on a metal-dielectric multilayer hyperlens designed in such a way that only the large-wavevector waves are transmitted while all propagating waves from the image area are ...

Subwavelength structures for silicon photonics biosensing
Abstract Silicon photonic biosensors hold the potential for highly accurate, yet low cost point-of-care devices. Maximizing the sensitivity of the sensing chips while reducing the complexity and cost of the read-out system is pivotal to realize this potential. Here we present an extensive analysis, both from a practical and a theoretical perspective,
