Time-harmonic far-field source array imaging in a two-dimensional waveguide is analyzed. A low-frequency situation is considered in which the diameter of the waveguide is slightly larger than the wavelength, so that the waveguide supports a…
There has been significant interest in imaging and focusing schemes that use evanescent waves to beat the diffraction limit, such as those employing negative refractive index materials or hyperbolic metamaterials. The fundamental issue with…
In this letter, a new approach to perform edge detection is presented using an all-dielectric CMOS-compatible metasurface. The design is based on guided-mode resonance which provides a high quality factor resonance to make the edge…
Radioactivity is understood to be described by a Poisson process, yet some measurements of nuclear decays appear to exhibit unexpected variations. Generally, the isotopes reporting these variations have long half lives, which are plagued by…
Knowledge of the decay rates (or half-lives) of radioisotopes is critical in many fields, including medicine, archeology, and nuclear physics, to name just a few. Central to the many uses of radioisotopes is the belief that decay rates are…
Waveguides are fundamental components in communication systems. However, they suffer from reflection and scattering losses at sharp routes or defects. The breakthrough in developing topological photonic crystals (PhCs) provides promising…
In this work, we report coherent perfect absorption (CPA) of anti-modes in an indirectly coupled magnon--polariton system. By examining both single and indirectly coupled cases, we experimentally distinguish the modal decay rate $\gamma$…
We study the modification of the atomic spontaneous emission rate, i.e. Purcell effect, of $^{87}$Rb in the vicinity of an optical nanofiber ($\sim$500 nm diameter). We observe enhancement and inhibition of the atomic decay rate depending…
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…
One-loop contributions to the decay $H\rightarrow \nu_l\bar{\nu}_l\gamma$ with $l=e, \mu, \tau$ within standard model framework are revisited in this paper. We derive two representations for the form factors in this calculation. As a…
In waveguide quantum electrodynamics systems, atomic radiation emission is shaped by the photonic environment and collective atom interactions, offering promising applications in quantum technologies. In particular, atom-photon bound…
Our previously-developed calculational method (the partial wave cutoff method) is employed to evaluate explicitly scalar one-loop effective actions in a class of radially symmetric background gauge fields. Our method proves to be…
Even though submicron silicon waveguides have been proposed for dense integration of photonic devices, to date the lightwave circuits on the market mainly rely on waveguides with micron-scale core dimensions. These larger waveguides feature…
As opposed to metasurfaces, metagratings represent themselves sparse arrangements of scatterers. Established rigorous analytical models allow metagratings to overcome performance of metasurfaces in beam steering applications while handling…
We present numerical and analytical results for the lifetime of emitters in close proximity to graphene sheets. Specifically, we analyze the contributions from different physical channels that participate in the decay processes. Our results…
Time-resolved photoconductivity is widely used to characterize non-equilibrium charge-carrier lifetime, impurity content, and solar cell efficiency in a broad range of semiconductors. Most measurements are limited to the detection of…
While controlling particle diffusion in a confined geometry is a popular approach taken by both natural and artificial systems, it has not been widely adopted for controlling light transport in random media, where wave interference effects…
We study the spontaneous decay of an impurity coupled to a linear array of bosonic cavities forming a single-band photonic waveguide. The average frequency of the emitted photon is different from the frequency for single-photon resonant…
Radiative decay rates of an atom placed near triaxial nanoellipsoid are investigated in long wavelength approximation. Analytical results are obtained in general case. It is shown that triaxial ellipsoid can be used for efficient control of…
Starting from the quantized version of Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic field in an arbitrary linear Kramers-Kronig dielectric, spontaneous decay of the excited state of a two-level atom embedded in a dispersive and absorbing…
