We analyze transmission of electromagnetic waves through a periodic band-gap structure consisting of slabs of a left-handed metamaterial and air. Using the effective parameters of the metamaterial derived from its microscopic structure, we…

Moir\'e patterns are omnipresent. They are important for any overlapping periodic phenomenon, from vibrational and electromagnetic, to condensed matter. Here we show, both theoretically and via experimental simulations by ultracold atoms,…

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have some unusual properties and important applications in photonics. A periodic structure sandwiched between two homogeneous media is the most popular platform for observing BICs and realizing their…
