We investigate numerically the effect of Kerr nonlinearity on the transmission spectrum of a one dimensional $\delta$-function photonic crystal. It is found that the photonic band gap (PBG) width either increases or decreases depending on…
This work introduces a model that can recognize objects in images even if no training data is available for the objects. The only necessary knowledge about the unseen categories comes from unsupervised large text corpora. In our zero-shot…
The invariance of the speed of light implies a series of consequences related to our perception of simultaneity and of time itself. Whilst these consequences are experimentally well studied for subluminal speeds, the kinematics of…
Continuous films of metals like gold and silver with a thickness of a few tens of nm have poor optical transmission in the visible and infrared. However, the same films become largely transparent when the transmission is mediated by coupled…
We establish correspondence between macroscopic thermodynamical quantities and complementarity in wave interference. The well known visibility and predictability in a double slit--like experiment are shown to be connected to magnetic…
Light field imaging extends the traditional photography by capturing both spatial and angular distribution of light, which enables new capabilities, including post-capture refocusing, post-capture aperture control, and depth estimation from…
A contemporary perspective on the tradeoff between transmit antenna diversity and spatial multiplexing is provided. It is argued that, in the context of most modern wireless systems and for the operating points of interest, transmission…

In diffraction experiments with particle beams, several effects lead to a fringe visibility reduction of the interference pattern. We theoretically describe the intensity one can measure in a double-slit setup and compare the results with…
Translucency is prevalent in everyday scenes. As such, perception of transparent objects is essential for robots to perform manipulation. Compared with texture-rich or texture-less Lambertian objects, transparency induces significant…
We use a fiber based double slit Young interferometer for studying the far-field spatial distribution of the two-photon coincidence rate (coincidence pattern) for various quantum states with different degree of spatial entanglement. The…
Making a "which-way" measurement (WWM) to identify which slit a particle goes through in a double-slit apparatus will reduce the visibility of interference fringes. There has been a long-standing controversy over whether this can be…
We examine the effectiveness of the ground-plane invisibility cloak generated from quasiconformal mapping of electromagnetic space. This cloak without anisotropy will generally lead to a lateral shift of the scattered wave, whose value is…
The transmission characteristics of commercial interference filters are not quite what we expected from the specifications provided by manufacturers. The unexpectedly sharp dependences of the transmission coefficient on the incidence angle,…
Recently, a lot of effort has been dedicated to developing next-generation optoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional materials, thanks to their unique optical properties that are significantly different from those of their bulk…
Radars often use correlation of received signals with transmitted signals to identify targets. However, when a target translates at a high uniform speed, the correlation of the transmitted and received signals depends strongly on the…
We develop a theory to study apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy which takes into account retardation, higher multipoles of the tip, and the multiple scattering between the tip and the surface. We focus on metallic systems…
We consider the lateral shift of a light beam reflecting from a dielectric slab backed by a metal. It is found that the lateral shift of the reflected beam can be negative while the intensity of reflected beam is almost equal to the…
Light field cameras enable new capabilities, such as post-capture refocusing and aperture control, through capturing directional and spatial distribution of light rays in space. Micro-lens array based light field camera design is often…
We calculate the effect of a Dirac point (a conical singularity in the band structure) on the transmission of monochromatic radiation through a photonic crystal. The transmission as a function of frequency has an extremum at the Dirac…
