With transfer matrix theory, we study the transmission of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) with two dielectric gratings on top and on the bottom. Owing to the diffraction of the two gratings, the transmission shows a comb-like spectrum…

A theory of correlations between N photons of given frequencies and detected at given time delays is presented. These correlation functions are usually too cumbersome to be computed explicitly. We show that they are obtained exactly through…
We investigate the topological properties of reflection zeros of three-layer structures consisting of a dielectric layer sandwiched between two metal layers, which can be used as optical differentiators. We show that the reflection zeros…
We study the optical response of a 2D square lattice of atoms using classical electrodynamics. Due to dipole-dipole interactions, the lattice atoms polarize as if the lattice were an atom with up to three resonance frequencies, with…
