Inspired by the photosynthetic energy transfer process, we theoretically propose a method to realize non-reciprocal optical transmission in an array of coupled resonators. The optical non-reciprocity of the coupled resonators arises from…
An ensemble of resonators arranged on a sub-wavelength scale is usually considered as a bulk effective medium, known as a metamaterial, and can offer unusual macroscopic properties. Here, we take a different approach and limit ourselves to…

At radio wavelengths, scattering in the interstellar medium distorts the appearance of astronomical sources. Averaged over a scattering ensemble, the result is a blurred image of the source. However, Narayan & Goodman (1989) and Goodman &…

Meta-atoms, nano-antennas, plasmonic particles and other small scatterers are commonly modeled in terms of their modes. However these modal solutions are seldom determined explicitly, due to the conceptual and numerical difficulties in…
For over 70 years it has been assumed that scalar wave propagation in (ensemble-averaged) random particulate materials can be characterised by a single effective wavenumber. Here, however, we show that there exist many effective…
We report a theoretical description of far-infrared spectroscopy experiments on self-assembled quantum rings in a magnetic field [A. Lorke et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2223 (2000)] which, for the first time, accounts for the full set of…

Recent theoretical and experimental advances have shed light on the existence of so-called `perfectly transmitting' wavefronts with transmission coefficients close to 1 in strongly backscattering random media. These perfectly transmitting…
It has been proven that when connecting two infinite semi-cylinders or waveguides with a finite cylinder or resonator at a certain frequency, it is possible to transmit a signal almost completely from one semi-cylinder to another. In this…

Backscattering in micro-ring cavities induces mode mixing and limits device performance. Existing methods to mitigate backscattering often involve complex fabrication processes or are insufficient for complete suppression. In this work, we…
