The band gap, a key concept in solid-state physics, is traditionally explained by the Bragg diffraction of electron waves in the periodic potential of a crystal. Although widely accepted, this framework raises fundamental issues in…

We identify explicit conditions on geometry and material contrast for creating band gaps in 2-d photonic and 3-d acoustic crystals. This approach is novel and makes use of the electro-static and quasi-periodic source free resonances of the…

In this letter, we show that the bandwidth of optical band-stop filters made of subwavelength metal structures can be significantly increased by the strong plasmonic near-field coupling through the corners of the periodic metal squares. The…

Emitters strongly coupled to a photonic crystal provide a powerful platform for realizing novel quantum light-matter interactions. Here we study the optical properties of a three-level artificial atomic chain coupled to a one-dimensional…

This article presents experimental results on properties of waves propagating in an unbounded and a bounded photonic crystal consisting of metallic cylinders which are arranged in a triangular lattice. First, we present transmission…

We designed slow-light waveguides with a wide mode area based on slab-type valley photonic crystal (VPhC) heterostructures which are composed of a graphene-like PhC sandwiched by two topologically distinct VPhCs. The group velocity of the…

The phenomenon of a dispersion bandgap opening between low-loss spectral windows of odd and even plasmonic modes in a layered insulator-metal-insulator plasmonic waveguide is introduced. Beginning with a three layer plasmonic dispersion…

We introduce the stochastic band structure, a method giving the dispersion relation for waves propagating in periodic media or along waveguides, and subject to material loss or radiation damping. Instead of considering an explicit or…

Superconductivity in hole-doped Li_xNbO_2 has been reported with T_c ~ 5 K in the range 0.45 < x < 0.8. The electronic structure is based on a two-dimensional triangular Nb lattice. The strong trigonal crystal field results in a single Nb…

We calculate the photonic band gap of triply periodic bicontinuous cubic structures and of tubular structures constructed from the skeletal graphs of triply periodic minimal surfaces. The effect of the symmetry and topology of the periodic…

Inspired by [25], this paper investigates subwavelength bandgaps in phononic crystals consisting of periodically arranged hard elastic materials embedded in a soft elastic background medium. Our contributions are threefold. First, we…

We present a semi-analytic method to calculate the dispersion curves and the group velocity of photonic crystal waveguide modes in two-dimensional geometries. We model the waveguide as a homogenous strip, surrounded by photonic crystal…

Photonic crystals create dramatic new possibilities for nonlinear optics. Line defects are shown to support modes suitable for the production of pairs of photons by the material's second order nonlinearity even if the phase-matching…

A normal metal - superconductor hybrid single-electron trap with tunable barrier is utilized as a tool for spectrum analysis at the extremely low signal levels, using only well filtered cryogenic microwave background as a photon source in…

While the light transmission of photonic crystals is characterized by the photonic band gap, the one of disordered photonic structures is typified by a multiplicity of transmission depths. The total transmission over a range of wavelengths…

Traditionally, one can construct a waveguide by introduce defects into surface-wave photonic crystals (SPCs). Here we propose a new structure named closed SPC that can introduce waveguide modes out of photonic bandgap of surface-wave…

A novel type of photonic crystal formed by embedding a periodic array of constituent stacks of alternating graphene and dielectric discs into a background dielectric medium is proposed. The photonic band structure and transmittance of such…

In this paper we study microstrip antenna miniaturization using partial filling of the antenna volume with dielectric materials. An analytical expression is derived for the quality factor of an antenna loaded with a combination of two…

We study two-dimensional photonic crystals composed of elliptical dielectric rods arranged according to stealthy hyperuniform point patterns. These patterns are characterized by the structure factor, which vanishes for 0 < |k| <= K, where k…

The dispersion properties of rectangular metallic waveguides periodically loaded by uniaxial resonant scatterers are studied with help of an analytical theory based on the local field approach, the dipole approximation and the method of…
