Universal spin-resolved thermal radiation laws for nonreciprocal bianisotropic media

Chinmay Khandekar, Farhad Khosravi, Zhou Li +1

A chiral absorber of light can emit spin-polarized (circularly polarized) thermal radiation based on Kirchhoff's law which equates spin-resolved emissivity with spin-resolved absor…

Spectral domain inverse design for accelerating nanocomposite metamaterials discovery

Ashwin K. Boddeti, Abubakr Alabassi, Vaneet Aggarwal +1

Inverse design techniques in the context of nanophotonics have helped in discovery of compact and counter-intuitive structures/shapes. We introduce the concept of spectral domain i…

Switching dynamics of dark-pulse Kerr comb states in optical microresonators

Elham Nazemosadat, Attila Fülöp, Óskar B. Helgason +7

Dissipative Kerr solitons are localized structures that exist in optical microresonators. They lead to the formation of microcombs --- chip-scale frequency combs that could facilit…
