Toward Highest Frequency, Phase‐Sensitive Electric Field Sensing Enabled by Plasmonic Circuits
An electromagnetic field sensor using an optical sensor head for distortion‐free, high‐sensitivity measurements with potential for high‐frequency operation is presented. The frequency response is enabled by an antenna‐integrated plasmonic modulator. The sensitivity is calculated, and optimizations to obtain thermal‐background‐limited sensitivity are ...

Stimulated Forward Brillouin Scattering in Subwavelength Grating Silicon Membranes
This work proposes a novel strategy to achieve large Brillouin scattering with independent control of the optical and mechanical modes using subwavelength silicon membranes. We experimentally demonstrate remarkably high Brillouin gain, resulting in an on/off Stokes gain of 3 dB and anti‐Stokes loss of 4 dB in a 6 mm‐long waveguide with 35 mW of on‐chip

An optical approach is proposed for real‐time and high‐precision detection of the magnetostrictive deformation of an yttrium‐iron‐garnet sphere in three dimensions, based on the deformation induced spatial high‐order modes of the scattered field, postselection, and balanced homodyne detection.

Resonant States Reveal Strong Light–Matter Coupling in Nanophotonic Cavities
Photonic resonant states reveal characteristics of coupled light–matter systems that would otherwise be hidden by damping. Their trajectories (when tuning the optical resonance) undergo a qualitative change at the onset of strong coupling: They start swapping positions.

Revealing the Resonant Physics of Open Photonic Time Crystals
ABSTRACT Photonic time crystals (PTCs) are media whose permittivity is modulated periodically in time, enabling momentum bandgaps and parametric amplification of light. Their realization at the nanoscale can revolutionize the study of light‐matter interactions.

Theory of Supercritical Coupling and Generalized Bound States in the Continuum
We develop a general theory of supercritical coupling and generalized bound states in the continuum (gBICs), revealing how interference between radiative and absorptive channels enables quality factors beyond conventional material‐loss limits. The framework unifies non‐Hermitian mode coupling, causality‐driven reactive interactions, and interference ...

Predicting Statistical Signatures of Collective Emission in Disordered Color Center Ensembles
We present an efficient simulation framework for modeling collective emission in disordered ensembles of quantum emitters. The low computational complexity enables large‐scale Monte Carlo simulations. Applied to SiV−${\rm SiV}^{-}$ clusters, it predicts thresholded superradiant bursts set by emitter number and quantum efficiency, as well as interaction‐

Tunable Terahertz Generation in Dispersion‐Engineered ZnTe Waveguides
A dispersion‐engineered Zinc Telluride (ZnTe) slab waveguide platform enables tunable and efficient guided‐wave terahertz (THz) generation through modal phase matching. By tailoring the optical and THz modal dispersion, coherent THz emission is achieved across 0.1–3 THz.
