Chiral lasing via broken parity-time symmetry in bound-state-in-the-continuum metasurfaces

Matthew Parry, Daria A. Smirnova, Andrey A. Sukhorukov +1

We propose a concept for chiral lasing from planar metasurfaces that obviates the need for traditional out-of-plane symmetry breaking by exploiting spatial gain-loss modulation to…

Frequency locking in lasing ZnO nanowire pairs

Ann-Kathrin Kollak, Lukas R. Jäger, Hark Hoe Tan +1

Frequency locking between coupled laser systems provides a powerful mechanism for stabilizing and controlling coherent emission, yet its implementation and applicability down to th…

Vortex Propagation in Orbital Angular Momentum Beams and the Effects of a Limited Aperture

Ryan Husband, Jessica Eastman, Ryan J. Thomas +4

When generating light with orbital angular momentum by imprinting orbital phase onto a standard Gaussian beam, it is often assumed that the propagation of the generated spatial mod…
