Similar to microspheres, thin-walled microbubble resonators support whispering gallery modes (WGMs) that combine ultrahigh Q-factors and small effective mode volumes. In contrast, their hollow nature enables enhanced interactions with…
We discuss optical forces exerted on particles, either dielectric or metallic, near a subwavelength slit illuminated by a photonic nanojet. We compare those cases in which the Mie resonances are or are not excited. The configurations on…
Nanoplasmonics exploits the coupling between light and collective electron density oscillations (plasmons) to bypass the stringent limits imposed by diffraction. This coupling enables confinement of light to sub-wavelength volumes and is…
The gravitational waves (GWs) has been a topic of interest for its versatile capabilities of probing several aspects of cosmology and early Universe. Gravitational lensing enhances further the extent of this sort of waves and upgrade our…
Image distortion due to weak gravitational lensing is examined using a non-perturbative method of integrating the geodesic deviation and optical scalar equations along the null geodesics connecting the observer to a distant source. The…
The near fields of small-size extended hemielliptic lenses made of rexolite and isotropic quartz and illuminated by E- and H-polarized plane waves are studied. Variations in the focal domain size, shape, and location are presented versus…
The effect of lattice termination on the surface states in a two-dimensional truncated photonic crystal slab is experimentally studied in a high index contrast silicon-on-insulator system. A single-mode silicon strip waveguide that is…
A neutron whispering gallery state is a quantum state localized on a material surface bound by the centrifugal force and the material potential. Precise measurements of such quantum states enable tests of quantum mechanics in non-inertial…
A combination of electron spin interactions in a magnetic field allows us to control the resonance frequencies of a high-Q Whispering Gallery (WG) cavity mode doublet, resulting in precise measurements of an avoided crossing between the two…
Wave effects in lensing form a rich phenomenon at the intersection of classical caustic singularities and quantum interference, yet are notoriously difficult to model. A large number of recently observed pulsars and fast radio bursts in…
Optical whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators are a powerful and versatile tool used in many branches of science. Fine tuning of the central frequency and line width of individual resonances is however desirable in a number of…
Thin structured surfaces allow flexible control over propagation of electromagnetic waves. Focusing and polarization state analysis are among functions, required for effective manipulation of radiation. Here a polarization sensitive Fresnel…
We experimentally demonstrate and numerically analyze large arrays of whispering gallery resonators. Using fluorescent mapping, we measure the spatial distribution of the cavity-ensemble's resonances, revealing that light reaches distant…
We consider the scattering of electromagnetic waves by a left-handed cylinder -- i.e., by a cylinder fabricated from a left-handed material -- in the framework of complex angular momentum techniques. We discuss both the TE and TM theories.…
Recent developments in thin-film fabrication and processing open up interesting possibilities for both established and emerging optics technologies. There, one of the key questions requiring more complete understanding is by how much one…
We study theoretically and experimentally the transmission intensity of polarized light through the air-spaced Glan-type polarizing prsims. It is found that the variation of the transmitted intensity with the rotation angle deviates from…
It is shown that the charged particles are refracted and reflected on the boundary of field free and laser field regions in vacuum. Simple and transparent estimates are given which show the possibility of channeling of charged and neutral…
During the last decade, new unusual physical phenomena in studies on the optics of dielectric mesoscale particles of arbitrary three dimensional shape and gratings with Mie size parameter q ~ 10 have been discovered. The report provides a…
We describe the experimental verification of lattice resonances in two-dimensional photonic crystals constructed from an array of gaseous plasma columns. Enhancements are seen in the extinction of normal incidence transverse electric…
Nanoparticle-induced modifications of the spectrum of whispering-gallery-modes (WGM) of optical spheroidal resonators are studied theoretically. Combining an ab initio solution of a single resonator problem with a dipole approximation for…
