Efficient computation of thermal radiation from biperiodic layered systems using the T-matrix method
Martin Gabbert, Markus Nyman, Lukas Rebholz +2
Metasurfaces are becoming important tools for the control of thermal radiation. Understanding their functional possibilities on computational grounds requires evaluating the respon…
Chiral cavities made from lattices of highly electromagnetically-chiral scatterers
Lukas Rebholz, Carsten Rockstuhl, Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton
The infamous weakness of molecular chiroptical responses challenges the all-optical realization of crucial applications such as enantio-selective sorting of chiral molecules, or bi…
Predicting the optical properties of organometallic nanoparticles with a scale-bridging method: The importance of the embedding
Mariia Poleva, Benedikt Zerulla, Christof Holzer +7
It remains a prime question of how to describe the optical properties of large molecular clusters accurately. Quantum chemical methods capture essential electronic details but are…
Studying thermal radiation with T-matrices
Juan Diego Mazo-Vásquez, Markus Nyman, Marjan Krstić +3
We introduce a basic formalism for computing thermal radiation by combining Waterman's T-matrix method with an algebraic approach to light-matter interactions. The formalism applie…
Analyzing the acceleration time and reflectance of light sails made from homogeneous and core-shell spheres
Mitchell R. Whittam, Lukas Rebholz, Benedikt Zerulla +1
Deciding on appropriate materials and designs for use in light sails, like the one proposed in the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative, is a topic that requires much care and forethou…
T-matrix representation of optical scattering response: Suggestion for a data format
Nigar Asadova, Karim Achouri, Kristian Arjas +39
The transition matrix, frequently abbreviated as T-matrix, contains the complete information in a linear approximation of how a spatially localized object scatters an incident fiel…
The electromagnetic scalar product in spatially-bounded domains
Maxim Vavilin, Carsten Rockstuhl, Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton
Many physically interesting quantities of the electromagnetic field can be computed using the electromagnetic scalar product. However, none of the existing expressions for such sca…
A Tensor Product Space for Studying the Interaction of Bipartite States of Light with Nanostructures
Lukas Freter, Benedikt Zerulla, Marjan Krstić +3
Pairs of entangled photons are important for applications in quantum nanophotonics, where their theoretical description must accommodate their bipartite character. Such character i…
Polarization-dependent effects in vibrational absorption spectra of 2D finite-size adsorbate islands on dielectric substrates
Benedikt Zerulla, Marjan Krstić, Shuang Chen +9
In the last years, Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS) became a standard technique to study vibrational excitations of molecules. These investigations are strongly…
Separating the Material and Geometry Contribution to the Circular Dichroism of Chiral Objects Made from Chiral Media
Lukas Rebholz, Marjan Krstić, Benedikt Zerulla +4
The chirality of an object can be studied by measuring the circular dichroism, that is, the difference in absorption of light with different helicity. The chiral optical response o…
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…
