The remarkable emergence of all‐dielectric meta‐photonics governed by the physics of high‐
index dielectric materials offers a low‐loss platform for efficient manipulation and …

Resonant phenomena have been extensively used in micro-and nanophotonics.
Mathematically, these phenomena originate in a discrete set of basis functions known as …

In a reciprocal medium, transmission of electromagnetic (EM) waves is symmetric along
opposite directions which restrict design and implementation of various systems in optics …

With examples of two parallel dielectric gratings and two arrays of thin parallel dielectric
cylinders, it is shown that the interaction between trapped electromagnetic modes can lead …

Light absorbers available at present provide far from optimal black-body performance. The
need for more efficient absorbers is particularly acute on the microscale, where they can …

Local electromagnetic field fluctuations and related enhancement of nonlinear phenomena
in metal-dielectric composites near the percolation threshold (percolation composites) have …

The newly popular topic of 'phonon diodes' is discussed in the context of a broader issue of
reciprocity in reflection/transmission (R–T) of waves. We first review a theorem well known in …

We numerically study the effect of structural asymmetry in a plasmonic metamaterial made
from gold nanowires. It is reported that optically inactive (ie, optically dark) particle plasmon …

We report on the first direct experimental demonstration of a collective phenomenon in
metamaterials: spectral line collapse with an increasing number of unit cell resonators …

We analyze the influence of near-field coupling on the formation of collective plasmon
modes in a multilayer metallic nanowire array. It is shown that the spectral interference …
