Light propagation in distributed feedback optical structures with gain/loss regions is shown to provide an accessible laboratory tool to visualize in optics the spectral properties of the one-dimensional Dirac equation with non-Hermitian…

We present a computational framework for efficient optimization-based "inverse design" of large-area "metasurfaces" (subwavelength-patterned surfaces) for applications such as multi-wavelength and multi-angle optimizations, and…

Reflecting light to a pre-determined non-specular direction is an important ability of metasurfaces, which is the basis for a wide range of applications (e.g., beam steering/splitting and imaging). However, anomalous reflection with 100%…

The development of inverse design, where computational optimization techniques are used to design devices based on certain specifications, has led to the discovery of many compact, non-intuitive structures with superior performance. Among…

Synthesizing realistic and diverse anomalous samples from limited data is vital for robust model generalization. However, existing methods struggle to reconcile fidelity and diversity, often hampered by distribution misalignment and…

We introduce a homogenization approach to characterize the dynamical response of a generic dispersive spacetime crystal in the long-wavelength limit. The theory is applied to dispersive spacetime platforms with a travelling-wave modulation.…

We propose using a Genetic Algorithm to improve the efficiency of reflexive surfaces in devices where the receiver's position is different from the classic parabolic antenna. With this technique, we show that we can improve the efficiency…

Non-Hermitian photonic systems are known to exhibit unique phenomena, where non-Hermiticity is typically introduced by material loss or gain. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate unidirectional phenomena solely based on…

Metasurfaces based on subwavelength resonators enable novel ways to manipulate the flow of light at optical interfaces. In pursuit of multifunctional or reconfigurable metadevices, efficient tuning of macroscopic performance with little…

We propose an effective permittivity model to homogenize an array of long thin epsilon-negative rods arranged in a periodic lattice. It is proved that the effect of spatial dispersion in this electromagnetic crystal cannot be neglected, and…

Studies of superdirective dielectric lens antennas are reported emphasizing unidirectional properties. The developed antennas are based on the higher-order transverse electric and magnetic modes present in a multilayered sphere realized…

Ultrathin meta-optics offer unmatched, multifunctional control of light. Next-generation optical technologies, however, demand unprecedented performance. This will likely require design algorithms surpassing the capability of human…

Gravitational lensing can magnify a distant source, revealing structural detail which is normally unresolvable. Recovering this detail through an inversion of the influence of gravitational lensing, however, requires optimisation of not…

We show that a cylindrical lensing system composed of two metasurfaces with suitably tailored non-Hermitian (i.e., with distributed gain and loss) and nonlocal (i.e., spatially dispersive) properties can perform magnified imaging with…

As an increasingly powerful technique in integrated photonics, inverse design uses optimization algorithms to automatically create compact, high-performance photonic structures, often yielding non-intuitive layouts far more compact than…

A new generation of sensors, hardware random number generators, and quantum and classical signal detectors are exploiting strong responses to external perturbations of system noise. Here, we study noise amplification by asymmetric dyads in…

A frame is a generalization of a basis of a vector space to a redundant overspanning set whose vectors are linearly dependent. Frames find applications in signal processing and quantum information theory. We present a genetic algorithm that…

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…

Optical metamaterials have the potential to control the flow of light at will which may lead to spectacular applications as the perfect lens or the cloaking device. Both of these optical elements require invariant effective material…
