Waves scattered at a self-oscillating mode can exhibit superradiance, or net amplification of an external harmonic excitation. This exotic behavior, arising from the nonlinear coupling between the mode and the incident wave, is…

When propagating through periodically structured media, i. e. photonic crystals, optical waves will be modulated with the periodicity. As a result, the dispersion of waves will no longer behave as in a free space, and so called frequency…
