It is well known that string theory generates the idea of higher dimensional spacetime instead of the (3+1) dimensions, in which we seem to live. It indicates that the extra space dimensions may remain curled up into very small space. In…

Properly modeling and predicting the scattering response of a metasurface is a particularly challenging task. This has been shown to be especially difficult if the metasurface supports both local and nonlocal interactions, in the form of…
We investigate multiple scattering of scalar waves by an ensemble of $N$ resonant point scatterers in three dimensions. For up to $N = 21$ scatterers, we numerically optimize the positions of the individual scatterers, such as to maximize…
Metasurfaces enable powerful control of electromagnetic waves using subwavelength planar structures, but their deeply subwavelength periodicity typically suppresses propagating diffraction orders, which limits the number of available…
We reduce the solution of the scattering problem defined on the half-line $[0,\infty)$ by a real or complex potential $v(x)$ and a general homogenous boundary condition at $x=0$ to that of the extension of $v(x)$ to the full line that…
The optical theorem relates the total scattering cross-section of a given structure with its forward scattering, but does not impose any restrictions on other directions. Strong backward-forward asymmetry in scattering could be achieved by…
We present a linear coordinate transform to expand the solution of scattering and emission problems into a basis of forward and backward directional vector harmonics. The transform provides intuitive algebraic and geometric interpretations…
We introduce the concept of tunable ideal magnetic dipole scattering, where a nonmagnetic nanoparticle scatters lights as a pure magnetic dipole. High refractive index subwavelength nanoparticles usually support both electric and magnetic…
There are several methods to focus light behind a scattering medium, but very few use fluorescence light as feedback or can be used without access to the distal side of the scatterer. Among all the wave-front shaping techniques, retrieving…
As light propagates along a waveguide, a fraction of the field can be reflected by Rayleigh scatterers. In high-quality-factor whispering-gallery-mode microresonators, this intrinsic backscattering is primarily caused by either surface or…
