Cloak/anti-cloak interactions

Giuseppe Castaldi, Ilaria Gallina, Vincenzo Galdi +2

Coordinate-transformation cloaking is based on the design of a metamaterial shell made of an anisotropic, spatially inhomogeneous "transformation medium" that allows rerouting the…

Nonlinear Control of Tunneling Through an Epsilon-Near-Zero Channel

David A. Powell, Andrea Alu, Brian Edwards +3

The epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) tunneling phenomenon allows full transmission of waves through a narrow channel even in the presence of a strong geometric mismatch. Here we experimenta…

Sculptured-thin-film plasmonic-polaritonics

A. Lakhtakia, J. A. Polo, M. A. Motyka

The solution of a boundary--value problem formulated for the Kretschmann configuration shows that the phase speed of a surface--plasmon--polariton (SPP) wave guided by the planar i…

Correct Definition of the Poynting Vector in Electrically and Magnetically Polarizable Medium Reveals that Negative Refraction is Impossible

Vadim A. Markel

I compute from first principles the local heating rate (the amount of electromagnetic energy converted to heat per unit time per unit volume) for electromagnetic waves propagat…

From Slow to Superluminal Propagation: Dispersive Properties of Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Linear Chains of Metallic Nanospheroids

Alexander A. Govyadinov, Vadim A. Markel

We consider propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in linear periodic chains (LPCs) of prolate and oblate metallic spheroids. We show that the SPP group velocity can be e…

Classical Theory of Optical Nonlinearity in Conducting Nanoparticles

George Y. Panasyuk, John C. Schotland, Vadim A. Markel

We develop a classical theory of electron confinement in conducting nanoparticles. The theory is used to compute the nonlinear optical response of the nanoparticle to a harmonic ex…
