Bridging the gap between ultrafast optics and resonant photonics via omni-resonance

Abbas Shiri, Kenneth L. Schepler, Ayman F. Abouraddy

High-finesse planar Fabry-P{é}rot (FP) cavities spectrally filter the incident field at discrete resonances, and thus cannot be utilized to resonantly enhance the field of ultrasho…

Universality and non-differentiability: A new perspective on angular dispersion in optics

Layton A. Hall, Murat Yessenov, Kenneth L. Schepler +1

Angular dispersion (AD) is a ubiquitous phenomenon in optics after light traverses a diffractive or dispersive device, whereby each wavelength propagates at a different angle. AD i…

Observation of space-time surface plasmon polaritons

Naoki Ichiji, Hibiki Kikuchi, Murat Yessenov +3

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are surface-bound waves at metal-dielectric interfaces that exhibit strong out-of-plane field confinement, a key feature for applications is nano-…

Transverse spin angular momentum of space-time surface plasmon polariton wave packet

Naoki Ichiji, Daigo Oue, Murat Yessenov +3

In addition to longitudinal spin angular momentum (SAM) along the axis of propagation of light, spatially structured electromagnetic fields such as evanescent waves and focused bea…

Theory of space-time supermodes in planar multimode waveguides

Abbas Shiri, Kenneth L. Schepler, Ayman F. Abouraddy

When an optical pulse is focused into a multimode waveguide or fiber, the energy is divided among the available guided modes. Consequently, the initially localized intensity spread…

Exciting space-time surface plasmon polaritons by irradiating a nanoslit structure

Naoki Ichiji, Murat Yessenov, Kenneth L. Schepler +2

Space-time (ST) wave packets are propagation-invariant pulsed optical beams that travel freely in dielectrics at a tunable group velocity without diffraction or dispersion. Because…
