Time metamaterials exhibit a great potential for wave manipulation, drawing increasing attention in recent years. Here, we explore the exotic wave dynamics in an anisotropic photonic time crystal (APTC), formed by an anisotropic medium…
Light propagation in a photonic crystal infiltrated with polarizable molecules is considered. We demonstrate that the interplay between the spatial dispersion caused by Bragg diffraction and polaritonic frequency dispersion gives rise to…

We investigate wave transport properties of Parity-Time (PT) symmetric lattices that are periodically modulated along the direction of propagation. We demonstrate that in the regime of unbroken PT-symmetry the system Floquet-Bloch modes may…
Strong light-matter coupling in optical waveguides provides a versatile platform for engineering hybrid polaritonic modes and their dispersion. Here we investigate multimode exciton-photon coupling in visible semiconductor waveguides…
Dielectric environment engineering is an efficient and general approach to manipulating polaritons. Liquids serving as surrounding media of polaritons have been used to shift polariton dispersions and tailor polariton wavefronts. However,…
The recently suggested concept of a polaritonic Fourier crystal (PFC) is based on a harmonically-corrugated mirror substrate for a thin pristine polaritonic crystal layer. The propagating polaritons in PFC experience a harmonic and…

Polaritonic materials, owing to a strong phonon-polariton resonance in the THz and far-infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, offer both high-index dielectric and metallic response in this regime. This complex response makes them…
We develop a generalization of the time-varying Drude model, treating carrier density, effective mass, and collision rate as explicit functions of time. We derive expressions for polarization, susceptibility, displacement, and permittivity…
We propose a method to parametrically excite low frequency collective modes in an interacting many body system using a Floquet driving at optical frequencies with a modulated amplitude. We demonstrate that it can be used to design plasmonic…
Using the time periodic ABCD parameters, an expression for the dispersion relation of space-time modulated structures is obtained. The relation is valid for general structures even when the spatial granularity is comparable to the operating…
Manipulation of wave-matter interactions in systems with loss and gain have opened new mechanisms to control wave propagation at will. Metamaterials and metasurfaces having spatially inhomogeneous loss and gain have been studied in the past…
