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, one-dimensional line. It is shown that this mode occurs when…

Left-handedness signifies negative permittivity ($\varepsilon_r$) and permeability ((\mu_r)) in the same frequency band. The $\varepsilon_r$ and $\mu_r$ are evaluated in a quantized composite right-left handed transmission line (CRLH-TL),…

Photonic band structures are a typical fingerprint of periodic optical structures, and are usually observed in spectroscopic quantities such as transmission, reflection and absorption. Here we show that also the chiro-optical response of a…
Nature offers remarkable examples of complex photonic architectures such as those responsible for the iridescent colors of butterfly wings that emerge spontaneously during growth, well before any centralized control takes place. Arising…
Almost periodic particle chains exhibit peculiar propagation properties that are not observed in perfectly periodic ones. Furthermore, since they inherently support non-negligible long-range interactions and radiation through the…

An ability to completely customise the mode profile in an electromagnetic waveguide would be a useful ability. Currently, the transverse mode profile in a waveguide might be varied, but this is usually a side effect of design constraints,…
