The spectral characteristics of near-field thermal emission from nanoparticle arrays are explained by comparison to the dispersions for propagating modes. Using the coupled dipole model, we analytically calculate the spectral emission from…
Metasurfaces have attracted a great deal of attention from researchers due to their prominent optical properties. In particular, metasurfaces may consist of structures possessing optical anapole resonances with strong field confinement and…
Interesting electrical polarity in nanoclusters usually requires the polarizability to exceed the value R^3 of the classical sphere of radius R. We clarify how this occurs naturally in single electron quantum systems, and relate it to the…
We theoretically investigate circular dichroism (CD) in second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) in the chiral topological semimetal CoSi. We demonstrate that both SHG and THG exhibit dichroic responses of order unity, while…
Aperiodic Nanowire (NW) arrays have higher absorption than equivalent periodic arrays, making them of interest for photovoltaic applications. An inevitable property of aperiodic arrays is the clustering of some NWs into closer proximity…
Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is a method where randomly oriented chiral molecules are photoionized due to irradiation by circularly-polarized lasers, yielding large chiral signals in the photoelectron momentum distribution.…
Chirality, a fundamental concept describing an object cannot superpose with its mirror image, is crucial in optics and photonics and leads to various exotic phenomena, such as circular dichroism, and optical activity. Recent findings reveal…
We demonstrate that rotationally symmetric chiral metasurfaces can support arbitrarily sharp resonances with the maximum optical chirality determined by precise shaping of bound states in the continuum (BICs). Being uncoupled from one…
Generation of circularly-polarized high-harmonics with the same helicity to all orders is indispensable for chiral-sensitive spectroscopy with attosecond temporal resolution. Solid-state samples have added a valuable asset in controlling…
