Nature offers remarkable examples of complex photonic architectures such as those responsible for the iridescent colors of butterfly wings that emerge spontaneously during growth, well before any centralized control takes place. Arising…

High-frequency wideband cellular communications over mmWave and sub-THz offer the opportunity for high data rates. However, it also presents high path loss, resulting in limited coverage. High-gain beamforming from the antenna array is…

Great potential of photonic band-gap (PBG) structures for the development of continuous wave ultraviolet all-solid-state laser, including UV femtosecond pulse source, as well as for increase of output laser power at short-wave optical range…

We perform a computational study of confined photonic states that appear in a three-dimensional (3D) superlattice of coupled cavities, resulting from a superstructure of intentional defects. The states are isolated from the vacuum by a 3D…

One-dimensional (1D) infinite periodic systems exhibit vanishing group velocity and diverging density of states (DOS) near band edges. However, in practice, systems have finite sizes and inevitably this prompts the question of whether…

The phenomenon of photonic band gaps in one-dimensional optical lattices is reviewed using a microscopic approach. Formally equivalent to the transfer matrix approach in the thermodynamic limit, a microscopic model is required to study…

We present an investigation of coherent backscattering of light that is multiple scattered by a photonic crystal by using a broad-band technique. The results significantly extend on previous backscattering measurements on photonic crystals…

The spectrum of excitations a two-dimensional, planar honeycomb lattice of two-level atoms coupled by the in-plane electromagnetic field may exhibit band gaps that can be opened either by applying an external magnetic field or by breaking…

We derive a framework for classifying topological bands in three-dimensional photonic band structures, where the zero frequency polarization singularity implied by Maxwell's equations complicates the direct application of existing…

We have calculated the photonic band structures of metallic inverse opals and of periodic linear chains of spherical pores in a metallic host, below a plasma frequency $\omega_{\text{p}}$. In both cases, we use a tight-binding…

We explore the morphological properties of symmetric Airy beams in the paraxial and nonparaxial regimes. We consider a 2D electromagnetic realization with a single transverse component of the electric field, and in the nonparaxial regime,…

By studying the fluorescence and optical properties of a three-level system, we propose a new point of view on the coherent control of these spectra. With the definite phase difference between the fields of the air band and dielectric band…

The photon density of states (pDOS) governs fundamental light matter interactions and is a critical parameter for designing next generation light driven technologies such as photocatalysis and solar energy harvesting. Achieving a target…

We study two-dimensional photonic crystals composed of elliptical dielectric rods arranged according to stealthy hyperuniform point patterns. These patterns are characterized by the structure factor, which vanishes for 0 < |k| <= K, where k…

We perform full 3D topology optimization (in which "every voxel" of the unit cell is a degree of freedom) of photonic-crystal structures in order to find optimal omnidirectional band gaps for various symmetry groups, including fcc…

Recently, a number of new two-dimensional (2D) materials based on puckered phosphorene and arsenene have been predicted with moderate band gaps, good absorption properties and carrier mobilities superior to transition metal dichalcogenides.…

The existence of large nonlinear optical coefficients is one of the preconditions for using nonlinear optical materials in nonlinear optical devices. For a crystal, such large coefficients can be achieved by matching photon energies with…

We demonstrate third-order conjugate exceptional points (EPs) in a gain-loss assisted multi-mode 1D complementary photonic bandgap waveguide. Our study reveals the higher-order mode conversion phenomenon facilitated by parametrically…

While the light transmission of photonic crystals is characterized by the photonic band gap, the one of disordered photonic structures is typified by a multiplicity of transmission depths. The total transmission over a range of wavelengths…

We describe a novel technique to characterize ultrashort electron bunches in X-ray Free-Electron Lasers. Namely, we propose to use coherent Optical Transition Radiation to measure three-dimensional (3D) electron density distributions. Our…
