In the continuum limit, the theory of dislocations in crystals predicts a divergence in the elastic energy of the host material at a crystal geometry dependent limiting (or critical) velocity $v_c$. Explicit expressions for $v_c$ are…
Steep or near-vertical Floquet dispersion in photonic time crystals (PTCs) is often read as fast, even apparently superluminal, transport. Here, we demonstrate that this anomaly arises from modulation-driven geometric drift, not energy…
Slow light in photonic crystals and other periodic structures is associated with stationary points of the photonic dispersion relation, where the group velocity of light vanishes. We show that in certain cases, the vanishing group velocity…
