During the past few years, the optics and photonics communities have renewed their attention toward transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), which for over two decades have …
The engineering of the spatial and temporal properties of both the electric permittivity and the refractive index of materials is at the core of photonics. When vanishing to zero, those …
We report a switchable time-varying mirror, composed of an indium-tin-oxide–gold bilayer, displaying a tenfold modulation of reflectivity (Δ R≈ 0.6), which saturates for a driving-pump …
Regarded as a promising alternative to spatially shaping matter, time-varying media can be seized to control and manipulate wave phenomena, including thermal radiation. Here …
Integrated photonic circuits are created as a stable and small form factor analogue of fiber- based optical systems, from wavelength-division multiplication transceivers to more recent …
During the last decade, possibilities to realize new phenomena and create new applications by varying system properties in time have gained increasing attention in many research …
Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) polaritons in a thin transparent conducting-oxide film exhibit a significant electric field enhancement and localization within the film at frequencies close to …
We consider Tamm plasmon polariton in a subwavelength grating patterned on top of a Bragg reflector. We demonstrate dynamic control of the phase and amplitude of a plane …
Abstract Epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials that operate in the spectral region where the real part of the permittivity crosses zero have recently emerged as a promising platform for all …
