It is well known that certain special classes of self-gravitating point-like defects, such as global (non gauged) monopoles, give rise to non-asymptotically flat space-times characterized by solid angle deficits, whose size depends on the…
We show that a nonlinear optical response associated with a resonant, atomically thin material can be dramatically enhanced by placing it in front of a partially reflecting mirror, rendering otherwise weakly nonlinear systems suitable for…
It has been shown that a slab of materials with refractive index = -1 behaves like a perfect lens focussing all light to an exact electromagnetic copy of an object. The original lens is limited to producing images the same size as the…
Electromagnetic invisibility, defined as reflectionless transmission with zero phase delay, imposes strict constraints on metasurface designs that go beyond conventional reflection suppression based on the Kerker effect. This condition can…
Nonlinear metasurfaces incorporate many of the functionalities of their linear counterparts such as wavefront shaping but simultaneously they perform nonlinear optical transformations. This dual functionality leads to a rather unintuitive…
A novel method is proposed to measure the refractive indices (RIs) of the materials of different transparent solid state media. To exploit the advantage of non-contact measurement laser beam interferometry is used as an effective technique…
We extended the refraction angle of the Eaton lens into arbitrary angles. The refractive index of the Eaton lens is not analytical and can be obtained by numerical calculations only except in the case of the retroreflector. We introduced an…
A simple condition is given that is sufficient to determine whether a measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to a Gau{\ss}ian measure on the space of distributions is reflection positive. It readily generalises conventional…
An analytical description of arbitrary strongly aberrated axially symmetric focusing is developed. This is done by matching the solution of geometrical optics with a wave pattern which is universal for the underlying ray structure. The…
Improvement of label-free far-field resolution of optical imaging is possible with prior knowledge of the object such as its sparsity or accumulated by a posteriori examination of a similar class of object1-4. We show that the sole…
All-optical information communication, processing and computation have received substantial interest of both fundamental and applied research due to its unrivaled speed and broad bandwidth. Compared to its electronic counterpart, photons…
Negative indices are revisited through the thin-film admittance formalism. Effective indices and phase delay associated with wave propagation through negative index layers are carefully defined and computational rules easily implementable…
Increasing the refractive index available for optical and nanophotonic systems opens new vistas for design: for applications ranging from broadband metalenses to ultrathin photovoltaics to high-quality-factor resonators, higher index…
In the conventional approach to lens imaging, rays are used to map object points to image points. However, many students have a need to think of the image as a whole. To answer this need, lens imaging is reinterpreted as a superposition of…
We consider some nonlinear phenomena in metamaterials with negative refractive index properties. Our consideration includes a survey of previously known results as well as identification of the phenomena that are important for applications…
In electromagnetics and photonics, "nonlocality" refers to the phenomenon by which the response/output of a material or system at a certain point in space depends on the input field across an extended region of space. While nonlocal effects…
In this paper, a non-Hermitian two-dimensional photonic crystal flat lens is proposed. The negative refraction of the second band of photonic crystal is utilized to realize super-resolution imaging of the point source. Based on the…
Mirrors are one of the most elementary and ubiquitous components of optical systems. They use a sharp refractive index contrast to provide the basic capability of reflecting light. Motivated by recent developments of photonic time-varying…
A perfect focus telescope is one in which all rays parallel to the axis meet at a point and give equal magnification there. It is shown that these two conditions define the shapes of both primary and secondary mirrors. Apart from scale, the…
The so-called "flat optics" that shapes the phase of an incident wave in free space through subwavelength structures has a venerable history. In that domain, achieving high efficiency at large deflection angles requires a low absorption…
