We describe theoretically and verify experimentally a novel class of diffraction-free pulsed optical beams that are `Omni-resonant': they have the remarkable property of transmission through planar Fabry-Perot resonators without spectral…

Lossless linear wave propagation is symmetric in time, a principle which can be used to create time reversed waves. Such waves are special 'pre-scattered' spatiotemporal fields, which propagate through a complex medium as if observing a…

Diffraction-free optical beams propagate freely without change in shape and scale. Monochromatic beams that avoid diffractive spreading require two-dimensional transverse profiles, and there are no corresponding solutions for profiles…

Wireless communications in the terahertz band have been recently proposed as complement to conventional wired interconnects within computing packages. Such environments are typically highly reverberant, hence showing long channel impulse…

This paper overviews the principles, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of STM media and their applications in communication systems. We first present a global perspective on the principles of ST modulation, naturally and…
