With the increasing need for large volumes of data processing, transport, and storage, optimizing the trade-off between high-speed and energy consumption in today's optoelectronic devices is getting increasingly difficult. Heterogeneous…
From the demonstration of saturable absorption by Vavilow and Levshin in 1926, and with invention of the laser, unavailability of strongly nonlinear materials was a key obstacle for developing optical signal processing, in particular in…
Achieving control over the transport properties of charge-carriers is a crucial aspect of realizing high-performance electronic materials. In metal-halide perovskites, which offer convenient manufacturing traits and tunability for certain…
Visible-light integrated photonics enables compact platforms for sensing, precision metrology, and free-space data links at visible wavelengths. However, many applications remain limited by the lack of high-speed and robust modulators in…
Here we discuss the physics of electro-optic modulators deploying 2D materials. We include a scaling laws analysis showing how energy-efficiency and speed change for three underlying cavity systems as a function of critical device length…
In terahertz (THz) photonics, there is an ongoing effort to develop thin, compact devices such as dielectric photonic crystal (PhC) slabs with desirable light matter interactions. However, previous works in THz PhC slabs are limited to…
Extremely anisotropic metal-dielectric multilayer metamaterials are designed to have the effective permittivity tensor of a transverse component (parallel to the interfaces of the multilayer) with zero real part and a longitudinal component…
Scalable, high-speed, small-footprint photonic switching platforms are essential for advancing optical communication. An effective optical switch must operate at high duty cycles with fast recovery times, while maintaining substantial…
Optical materials with vanishing dielectric permittivity, known as epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials, have been shown to possess enhanced nonlinear optical responses in their ENZ region. These strong nonlinear optical properties have been…
Transformation optics methods and gradient index electromagnetic structures rely upon spatially varied arbitrary permittivity. This, along with recent interest in millimeter-wave lens-based antennas demands high spatial resolution…
Elucidating the interplay between nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom that govern the complex dielectric behavior of materials under intense photoexcitation is essential for tailoring optical properties on demand. However,…
In this Letter, we propose a new type of lossless metamaterial whose effective permittivity is tunable from negative to positive values. Its optical response is studied analytically and numerically. We further demonstrate that this tunable…
We theoretically study the kinetics of photoinduced reordering triggered by linearly polarized (LP) reorienting light in thin azo-dye films that were initially illuminated with LP ultraviolet (UV) pumping beam. The process of reordering is…
Electro-optic modulators from non-linear $\chi^{(2)}$ materials are essential for sensing, metrology and telecommunications because they link the optical domain with the microwave domain. At present, most geometries are suited for fiber…

Being one of the strongest materials, ternary TiSiN exhibits a very interesting family of binary transition metal nitride and silicide systems. A novel technique to fabricate morphologically fascinating nano and micro structures of TiSiN is…
Electric dipole radiation can be controlled by coherent optical feedback, as has previously been studied by modulating the photonic environment for point dipoles placed both in optical cavities and near metal mirrors. In experiments…
In this work, a reversible control over the visible luminescence of phosphor ZnO is achieved by the application of a few volts (<5V) to nanostructured ZnO film sandwiched between ITO and LiClO4/PEO solid electrolyte. Since ZnO is a good…
