Nanoimprint is an emerging lithographic technology that promises high-throughput
patterning of nanostructures. Based on the mechanical embossing principle, nanoimprint …

This article presents a review of the lasing and photonic properties of periodic one-
dimensional anisotropic structures with the symmetry of a double helix. Examples are self …

We describe a novel approach based on topology optimization that enables automatic
discovery of wavelength-scale photonic structures for achieving high-efficiency second …

We investigate numerically the properties of metallo-dielectric, one-dimensional, photonic
band-gap structures. Our theory predicts that interference effects give rise to a new …

Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in mirrorless distributed feedback (DFB)
lasing in chiral liquid crystals (CLCs)[1]. The reason for this interest is related to the …

We discuss the linear dispersive properties of finite one-dimensional photonic band-gap
structures. We introduce the concept of a complex effective index for structures of finite …

Propagation, transmission and reflection properties of linearly polarized plane waves and
arbitrarily short electromagnetic pulses in one-dimensional dispersionless dielectric media …

We study the effect of electromagnetic unidirectionality, which can occur in magnetic
photonic crystals under certain conditions. A unidirectional periodic medium, being perfectly …

We discuss a simple one-dimensional (1D) model of the modification of Planck blackbody
radiation by photonic band-gap materials (PBG's). The model gives qualitative predictions …

The propagation of waves in nonlinear acoustic metamaterial (NAM) is fundamentally
different from that in conventional linear ones. In this article we consider two one …
