A method to probe the guiding characteristics of waveguides formed in real-time is proposed and evaluated. It is based on the analysis of the time dependent light distribution observed at the exit face of the waveguide while progressively…
A general algorithm for calculating the reflection and refraction of nonuniform plane waves from an arbitrarily oriented and charged planar interface between two lossy isotropic media is proposed based on the decomposition of the complex…
The paper is devoted to the study of circularly coiled optical slab waveguides, which is also applicable to acoustical waveguides. We use a change of variables and the classical Frobenius method to compute Bessel functions of complex order…
The accurate calculation of guided electromagnetic modes in optical nanofibres is critical for applications in nanophotonics, from quantum interfaces to vectorial light sensing. Standard textbook methods rely on solving a $4\times4$ matrix…

Inverse design of optical components based on adjoint sensitivity analysis has the potential to address the most challenging photonic engineering problems. However existing inverse design tools based on finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD)…
In this work, we present the design of cycloidal waveguides from a gradient refractive index (GRIN) medium in analogy to the fastest descending problem in classical mechanics. Light rays propagate along cycloids in this medium, of which the…
Transformation optics is used to prove that a spherical waveguide filled with an isotropic material with radial refractive index n=1/r has radial polarized modes (i.e. the electric field has only radial component) with the same perfect…
Strong intensity attenuation limits the use of conventional diffraction-free optical elements. We show a possible solution to the exponential intensity attenuation limiting the use of Fresnel-type diffraction-free nanometer-scale optics by…
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…
We present an analytical and numerical investigation of double-slit diffraction under coherent illumination by three plane waves: one normally incident and two symmetrically angled at plus/minus theta. By imposing an edge-zero condition on…
We introduce a direct, linear sampling approach to imaging in an acoustic waveguide with sound hard walls. The waveguide terminates at one end and has unknown geometry due to compactly supported wall deformations. The goal of imaging is to…
We present a method for efficient spin wave guiding within the magnonic nanostructures. Our technique is based on the anomalous refraction in the metamaterial flat slab. The gradual change of the material parameters (saturation…
We propose an approach to extracting equivalent circuit models for waveguide-fed, resonant metamaterial elements, such as the complementary, electric inductive-capacitive element (cELC). From the scattering parameters of a single…
