Light-matter interactions inside turbid medium can be controlled by tailoring the spatial distribution of energy density throughout the system. Wavefront shaping allows selective coupling of incident light to different transmission…
We study scattering by metamaterials with negative indices of refraction, which are known to support \emph{surface plasmons} -- long-lived states that are highly localized at the boundary of the cavity. This type of states has found uses in…
We predict the existence of surface waves in layered superconductors in the THz frequency range, below the Josephson plasma frequency $\omega_J$. This wave propagates along the vacuum-superconductor interface and dampens in both transverse…

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are surface-bound waves at metal-dielectric interfaces that exhibit strong out-of-plane field confinement, a key feature for applications is nano-scale sensing and imaging. However, this advantage is offset…
