The concept of lasers based on the frozen mode regime in active periodic optical waveguides with a 3rd-order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) is advanced. The frozen mode regime in a lossless and gainless waveguide is associated with a…
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that a periodic three-way microstrip coupled waveguide exhibits a stationary inflection point (SIP). The SIP is a third order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) where three eigenmodes of…
We present a systematic methodology for designing slow-light photonic integrated circuits with a frozen mode based on a special kind of exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) of order three named stationary inflection points (SIPs). This is…
We introduce a glide symmetric optical waveguide exhibiting a stationary inflection point (SIP) in the Bloch wavenumber dispersion relation. An SIP is a third order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) where three Bloch eigenmodes coalesce…
The existence of a frozen mode in a periodic serpentine waveguide with broken longitudinal symmetry is demonstrated numerically. The frozen mode is associated with a stationary inflection point (SIP) of the Bloch dispersion relation, where…
Periodic structures with Bloch dispersion relation supporting a stationary inflection point (SIP) can display a unique scattering feature, the frozen mode regime (FMR). The FMR is much more robust than common cavity resonances; it is much…
We investigate properties of the lasing action observed on the 1S0--3P1 intercombination transition of ytterbium atoms that are laser-cooled and -trapped inside a high-finesse cavity. The dressing of the atomic states on the 1S0--1P1…
We design a three-way silicon optical waveguide with the Bloch dispersion relation supporting a stationary inflection point (SIP). The SIP is a third order exceptional point of degeneracy (EPD) where three Bloch modes coalesce forming the…
We introduce a class of unidirectional lasing modes associated with the frozen mode regime of non-reciprocal slow-wave structures. Such asymmetric modes can only exist in cavities with broken time-reversal and space inversion symmetries.…
A stationary inflection point (SIP) is a spectral singularity of the Bloch dispersion relation $\omega(k)$ of a periodic structure where the first and the second derivatives of $\omega$ with respect to $k$ vanish. An SIP is associated with…
In this work, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate the formation of a super bound state in a continuum (BIC) on a photonic crystal flat band. This unique state simultaneously exhibits an enhanced quality factor and…
Photonic flat bands are crucial for enabling strong localization of light and enhancing light-matter interactions, as well as tailoring the angular distribution of emission from photonic structures. These unique properties open pathways for…
Highly stable laser sources based on narrow atomic transitions provide a promising platform for direct generation of stable and accurate optical frequencies. Here we investigate a simple system operating in the high-temperature regime of…
One of the main applications of the bound state in the continuum (BIC) is the low-threshold lasing. Ideally, the infinite quality factor of the BIC results in the zero-threshold and zero-linewidth lasing. However, various effects disturb…
This erratum provides an updated fitting function for the lasing threshold of finite-length cavities operating at a stationary inflection point (SIP) or regular band edge (RBE) resonance, clarifying their asymptotic scaling with the number…
We present a novel laser mode-locking scheme and discuss its unusual properties and feasibility using a theoretical model. A large set of single-frequency continuous-wave lasers oscillate by amplification in spatially separated gain media.…
We investigate the impact of harmonic confinement in a finite optical superlattice and reveal the different mechanisms that can lead to the emergence of localized states. The optical superlattice, with odd or even number of unit cells, can…
A lattice of three-state stochastic phase-coupled oscillators introduced by Wood it et al. exhibits a phase transition at a critical value of the coupling parameter $a$, leading to stable global oscillations (GO). On a complete graph, upon…
Engineering of the eigenmode dispersion of slow-wave structures (SWSs) to achieve desired modal characteristics, is an effective approach to enhance the performance of high power traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifiers or oscillators. We…
Higher-order exceptional points (EPs), which appear as multifold degeneracies in the spectra of non-Hermitian systems, are garnering extensive attention in various multidisciplinary fields. However, constructing higher-order EPs still…
