We present a simple measurement and analysis technique to determine the fraction of optical loss due to both radiation (scattering) and linear absorption in microphotonic components. The method is generally applicable to optical materials…
This article reviews experimental work on the ultrafast electron dynamics in the topological surface state (TSS) of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs) observed with time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission (2PPE).…
Nonlinear hopping absorption of ultrasound and electromagnetic waves in amorphous and doped semiconductors is considered. It is shown that even at low amplitudes of the electric (or acoustic) field the nonlinear corrections to the…
Absorption imaging is a commonly adopted method to acquire, with high temporal resolution, spatial information on a partially transparent object. It relies on the interference between a probe beam and the coherent response of the object. In…
The topological insulator is a fundamentally new phase of matter, with the striking property that the conduction of electrons occurs only on its surface, not within the bulk, and that conduction is topologically protected. Topological…
The dynamics of desorption from a submonolayer of adsorbed atoms or ions are significantly influenced by the absence or presence of lateral diffusion of the adsorbed particles. When diffusion is present, the adsorbate configuration is…
In quantum wires, such as metallic nanotubes, the optical absorption of the transverse polarization is controlled by the depolarization effect which stems from the redistribution of conduction electrons around the circumference of the…
The absorption spectra of silicon nanowires (SiNW) are calculated using semi-empirical $sp^{3}d^{5}s^{*}$ tight binding (TB) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. The role of diameter, wave function symmetry, strain and…
We study light absorption by weakly rough metal surfaces with the roughness amplitude and correlation length smaller than the skin depth in metal. We develop a systematic perturbative approach for calculation of the absorptance in such…
We consider the model of the optical switching center - a system with the following properties: It has two (or more) metastable states |1>, |2>, separated by a potential barrier U; it can switch from one state to another by absorbing the…
Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and fundamental in science, from particle physics to metamaterials.The most established technique of chiral discrimination - photoabsorption circular dichroism - relies on the magnetic properties of a…
Based on fundamental properties of light scattering by a particle we reveal the existence of the ultimate upper limit for the light absorption by any partial mode. First, we obtain this result for scattering of a plane wave by a symmetric…
Topological photonics has emerged as a novel route to engineer the flow of light. Topologically-protected photonic edge modes, which are supported at the perimeters of topologically-nontrivial insulating bulk structures, have been of…
In this first of three articles on the optical absorption of electrons in half-filled Peierls-distorted chains we present analytical results for non-interacting tight-binding electrons. We carefully derive explicit expressions for the…
Optical limiting (OL), a crucial mechanism for protecting human eyes and sensitive sensors from intense radiation, relies on understanding the optical nonlinearities acting on the systems. Assessing and disentangling the effects at play is…
Saturation effects affecting absorption and fluorescence spectra of an atomic vapor confined in an Extremely Thin Cell (cell thickness $L < 1 \mu m$) are investigated experimentally and theoretically. The study is performed on the $D_{2}$…
We use density functional theory to investigate adsorption of liquid mixtures on solid surfaces modified with end-grafted chains. The chains are modelled as freely joined spheres. The fluid molecules are spherical. All spherical species…
We studied polyelectrolyte adsorption on a repulsive charged surface by scaling analysis. At low ionic strength and low surface charge density in which a single polyelectrolyte is able to be adsorbed onto the surface, different regimes in…
Absorption and scattering of electromagnetic waves by dielectric media are of fundamental importance in many branches of physics. In this Letter we analytically derived the ultimate upper limits for the absorbed and scattered powers by any…
Photonic topological insulators supporting unidirectional topologically protected edge states represent attractive platform for realization of disorder- and backscattering-immune transport of edge excitations in both linear and nonlinear…
