The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt …
Recent rapid progress in subwavelength optics and nanophotonics with dielectric structures is underpinned by the physics of Mie resonances excited in nanoparticles with a high …
Rapidly growing demands for fast information processing have launched a race for creating compact and highly efficient optical devices that can reliably transmit signals without losses …
The theory of electric polarization in crystals defines the dipole moment of an insulator in terms of a Berry phase (geometric phase) associated with its electronic ground state,. This …
Topological photonics has attracted increasing attention in recent years due to the unique opportunities it provides to manipulate light in a robust way immune to disorder and defects …
Scattering of electromagnetic waves by subwavelength objects is accompanied by the excitation of electric and magnetic Mie resonances that may modify substantially the …
Resonant cavities are essential building blocks governing many wave-based phenomena, but their geometry and reciprocity fundamentally limit the integration of optical devices. We …
Defect modes in two-dimensional periodic photonic structures have found use in diverse optical devices. For example, photonic crystal cavities confine optical modes to …
