We discuss chiral structures in self-organizing, artificial, and biological materials. A review of
experimental studies and recent advances in the localization of light in chiral structures is …

In this article we report recent modeling and design work indicating that mixtures of
nanoparticles in liquids can be used as an alternative to conventional optical filters. The …

Optical Tamm states localized at the edges of a photonic crystal bounded from one or both
sides by a nanocomposite have been studied. The nanocomposite consists of metallic …

We experimentally demonstrate that a probe beam at one wavelength, although exhibiting a
weak nonlinear response on its own, can be modulated and controlled by a pump beam at …

We demonstrate the possibility of using a two-dimensional array of spheroidal metallic
nanoparticles embedded in a one-dimensional photonic crystal to obtain a narrow …

We demonstrate the possibility of polarization-selective amplification of a defect mode in an
active multilayered photonic crystal through the resonant excitation of surface plasmons in a …

This paper examines the key features of the transmission and reflection spectra of a one-
dimensional photonic crystal structure in which a nanocomposite layer is sandwiched …

Приводятся сведения о хиральных структурах в самоорганизующихся, искусственных и
биологических материалах. Дан обзор экспериментальных работ и последних …

We have studied spectral properties of a cholesteric liquid crystal with a combined defect
consisting of a nanocomposite layer and a twist. The nanocomposite layer is made of …

We show the possibility of selective polarization generation in an amplifying photonic crystal
structure via the use of an embedded film of a sub-wavelength thickness with uniformly …
