We introduce the refractiveindex. info database, a comprehensive open-source repository
containing optical constants for a wide array of materials, and describe in detail the …

Photonic crystals (PhCs) are optical structures characterized by the spatial modulation of the
dielectric function, which results in the formation of a photonic band gap (PBG) in the …

Bound states in the continuum (BIC) offer great design freedom for realizing high-quality
factor metasurfaces. By deliberately disrupting the inherent symmetries, BIC can degenerate …

Integrating metal nanoparticles with vanadium dioxide (VO2) is an effective means to realize
active plasmonic regulation which has great application potential in optical devices that …

The significant refractive index change of VO_2 during phase transition makes it attractive
for the design of optical switches and filters, but high absorption of VO_2 limits its …

Vanadium dioxide (VO 2) nanocrystalline materials are of great interest as for modern
electronics and photonics as well as for energy saving technologies. Nevertheless, there still …

To establish a facile nonlinear optical switching mechanism activated by thermal field, that is
compatible with on-chip integration, we develop a physical model to quantify the interfacial …

High-frequency coherent acoustic phonons hold immense value in characterizing the
coupling between magnetic, lattice, and electronic properties, offering nanometer-scale …

Amplitude modulation, involving normal and overmodulation scenarios, is crucial for
information transmission. However, the complex dynamics of how modulation phase shift …

Phase change materials (PCMs) have received a lot of attention recently due to their ability
to reversibly switch between phases producing large changes in their optical and electrical …
