We consider a Dirichlet waveguide in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n = 2,3$) with an attached cavity. We show that if the cavity admits a small gap, then the original embedded eigenvalues turn into resonances. The main question we address is how the…
We show that global lower bounds to the mode volume of a dielectric resonator can be computed via Lagrangian duality. State-of-the-art designs rely on sharp tips, but such structures appear to be highly sub-optimal at nanometer-scale…
A continuum-RPA-based approach is applied to describe the decay properties of isolated dipole isobaric analog resonances in nuclei having not-too-large neutron excess. Calculated for a few resonances in 90Zr the elastic E1-radiative width…
Effective models to describe the dynamics of an open cavity have been extensively discussed in the literature. In many of these models the cavity leakage to the outside is treated as a loss introduced phenomenologically. In contrast to…
Open dielectric resonators of different shapes are widely used for the manufacture of microlasers. A precise determination of their resonance frequencies and widths is crucial for their design. Most microlasers have a flat cylindrical…

A small dielectric object with positive permittivity may resonate when the free-space wavelength is large in comparison with the object dimensions if the permittivity is sufficiently high. We show that these resonances are described by the…

The design of devices based on acoustic or optical fields requires the fabrication of cavities and structures capable of efficiently trapping these waves. A special type of cavity can be designed to support resonances with a theoretically…
We give insight into the critical problem of an open resonator that is subject to a perturbation outside of its cavity region. We utilize the framework of quasinormal modes (QNMs), which are the natural mode solutions to the open boundary…
Light injected into a spherical dielectric body may be confined very efficiently via the mechanism of total internal reflection. The frequencies that are most confined are called resonances. If the shape of the body deviates from the…
Dielectric optical micro-resonators and micro-lasers represent a realization of a wave-chaotic system, where the lack of symmetry in the resonator shape leads to non-integrable ray dynamics. Modes of such resonators display a rich spatial…
It is shown that the quasi-normal modes arise, in a natural way, when considering the oscillations in unbounded regions by imposing the radiation condition at spatial infinity with a complex wave vector $k$. Hence quasi-normal modes are not…
We consider the light scattering from a pair of point-like electrical dipoles. Whenever the polarizability of each dipole violates the optical theorem, the response of the pair (both in far-field and near-field) exhibits exact resonances as…
We discuss electromagnetic modes in cavities formed by metamaterials with negative refraction and demonstrate that the straightforward approach to substitute negative values of the electric permittivity and the magnetic permeability leads…
Analysis of the properties of resonant modes in a reentrant cavity structure comprising of a post and a ring was undertaken and verified experimentally. In particular we show the existence of higher order reentrant cavity modes in such a…
