The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a phenomenon based on the combination of
quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, which leads to the creation of charge …

Local enhancement of electromagnetic (EM) fields near dielectric and metallic surfaces is
usually associated with the existence of a confined EM wave at least in one direction. This …

The transfer-matrix method (TMM) in electromagnetics and optics is a powerful and
convenient mathematical formalism for determining the planewave reflection and …

Electro-optic modulators provide the electrical control of the intensity, frequency, and phase
of an optical signal. They became an indispensable part of our telecommunication network …

Exhibited by structurally chiral materials—such as Reusch piles, cholesteric liquid crystals
(CLCs), and chiral sculptured thin films (STFs)—due to their helical nonhomogeneity along a …

Artificial sheet materials, known as MetaSurfaces, have been applied to fully control both
space and surface waves due to their exceptional abilities to dynamically tailor wave fronts …

We present a new electromagnetic mode that forms at the interface between two planar
surfaces laid side by side in free space, effectively guiding energy along an infinitesimal …

The thermal agitation plays a vital role in tunability of optoelectronic, structural and chemical
characteristics of the temperature sensitive materials. Graphene enables the THz optics, due …

With the goal of ultimate control over the light propagation, photonic crystals currently
represent the primary building blocks for novel nanophotonic devices. Bloch surface waves …

Numerical analysis of Dyakonov waves generation has been carried out at uniaxial chiral-
plasma planar interface. The extended electromagnetic wave theory is utilized, and an …
