Optical embedded eigenstates are localized modes of an open structure that are compatible to radiation yet they have infinite lifetime and diverging quality factors. Their realization in nanostructures finite in all dimensions is inherently…
We observe unique absorption resonances in silver/silica multilayer-based epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterials that are related to radiative bulk plasmon-polariton states of thin-films originally studied by Ferrell (1958) and Berreman…
In recent years, the confinement of light in open systems with no radiation leakage has raised great interest in the scientific community, both due to its peculiar and intriguing physics and due to its important technological applications.…
Bound states in the continuum (BIC) are highly confined, nonradiative modes that can exist in open structures, despite their potential compatibility and coupling with the radiation spectrum, and may give rise to resonances with arbitrarily…
Optical supercavity modes (superstates), i.e., hybrid modes emerging from the strong coupling of two nonorthogonal modes of an open cavity, can support ultranarrow lines in scattering spectra associated with quasi bound states in the…
Quantum embedding theories are promising approaches to investigate strongly-correlated electronic states of active regions of large-scale molecular or condensed systems. Notable examples are spin defects in semiconductors and insulators. We…
Electromagnetic embedded eigenstates, also known as bound states in the continuum (BICs), hold a great potential for applications in sensing, lasing, enhanced nonlinearities and energy harvesting. However, their demonstrations so far have…
We present a fully quantum-electrodynamical formalism suitable to evaluate the spontaneous emission rate and pattern from a dipole embedded in a non-absorbing and lossless multilayer dielectric structure. In the model here developed the…
In this paper, we show that HgCdTe heterostructures may support bound electronic states embedded in the continuum, such that the discrete energy spectrum overlaps the continuous spectrum. Although the proposed heterostructures are generally…
Confining electromagnetic energy is crucial to enhance light-matter interactions, with important implications for science and technology. Here, we discuss the opportunities offered by trapping and confining light in open structures, based…
The acoustic properties of a porous sheet of medium resistivity backed by a rigid plate in which are embedded a periodic set of circular inclusions is investigated. Such a structure behaves like a multi-component diffraction gratings.…
We introduce a new type of a bound state in the continuum (BIC) which appears in the photonic structure consisting of two coupled waveguides where one of them supports a discrete eigenmode spectrum embedded in the continuum of the other…
Resonances, also known as quasinormal modes (QNM) in the non-Hermitian case, play a ubiquitous role in all domains of physics ruled by wave phenomena, notably in continuum mechanics, acoustics, electrodynamics, and quantum theory. The…
Photonic resonance modes can be spectrally coupled to the vibrational modes of molecules in the mid-infrared regime through interactions between localized electric fields and nearby molecules. According to recent studies, radiative loss…
The buffer carbon layer obtained in the first instance by evaporation of Si from the Si-rich surfaces of silicon carbide (SiC) is often studied only as the intermediate to the synthesis of SiC supported graphene. In this work, we explore…
Unidirectional electromagnetic absorption provides a powerful approach for controlling light and heat, yet broadband realization in the infrared spectral region remains experimentally unexplored. Here, we report a non-Hermitian multilayer…
Trapping and storing light for arbitrary time lengths in open cavities is a major goal of nanophotonics, with potential applications ranging from energy harvesting to optical information processing. Unfortunately, however, the resonance…
Continuum-buried defect states in semiconductors are generally expected to be optically inactive due to their strong coupling to continuum bands. Here, we show that such defects can instead host radiative electronic bound states in the…
Engineering nanophotonic mode dispersions in ultrathin, planar structures enables significant control over infrared perfect absorption (PA) and thermal emission characteristics. Here, using simulations, the wavelength and angular ranges…
Wave scattering structures with amplification and dissipation can be modelled by non-Hermitian systems, opening new ways to control waves at small length scales. In this work, we study the phenomenon of topologically protected edge states…
