Active steering of cathodoluminescence through a generalized Smith-Purcell effect

Eduardo J. C. Dias, Álvaro Rodríguez Echarri, Theis P. Rasmussen +2

Optical metasurfaces can shape the near fields of energetic electrons, enabling Smith-Purcell (SP) emission. We introduce a generalized SP effect relying on finite periodic arrays…

Uncovering hidden resonances in non-Hermitian systems with scattering thresholds

Fridtjof Betz, Felix Binkowski, Jan David Fischbach +5

The points where diffraction orders emerge or vanish in the propagating spectrum of periodic non-Hermitian systems are referred to as scattering thresholds. Close to these branch p…

Nanocavities for Molecular Optomechanics: their fundamental description and applications

Philippe Roelli, Huatian Hu, Ewold Verhagen +2

Vibrational Raman scattering -- a process where light exchanges energy with a molecular vibration through inelastic scattering -- is most fundamentally described in a quantum frame…

Minireview on Disordered Optical Metasurfaces

P. Lalanne, A. Dmitriev, C. Rockstuhl +2

The use of coherent wave phenomena to enhance device performance is a cornerstone of modern optics. In juxtaposition to (locally) periodic metasurfaces, their disordered counterpar…
