Heralded Free-Electron Writing of the Most Subradiant State in an Atomic Array
Tong Shen, Zhexin Zhao, Meng Xiao
The most subradiant eigenstate of a finite subwavelength atomic chain in free space, protected by strongly suppressed radiative decay, offers a powerful resource for photon storage…
Electron Pulse Compression with Optical Beat Note
Zhexin Zhao, Kenneth J. Leedle, Dylan S. Black +3
Compressing electron pulses is important in many applications of electron beam systems. In this study, we propose to use optical beat notes to compress electron pulses. The beat fr…
Internal Smith-Purcell radiation and its interplay with Cherenkov diffraction radiation in silicon -- a combined time and frequency domain numerical study
Dmytro Konakhovych, Damian Sniezek, Oskar Warmusz +4
We consider radiation generated by an electron travelling parallel to a planar rectangular silicon grating: Smith-Purcell radiation to the vacuum side, internal Smith-Purcell radia…
Quantum entanglement and modulation enhancement of free-electron-bound-electron interaction
Zhexin Zhao, Xiao-Qi Sun, Shanhui Fan
The modulation and engineering of the free-electron wave function bring new ingredients to the electron-matter interaction. We study the dynamics of a free-electron passing by a tw…
Design principles of apodized grating couplers
Zhexin Zhao, Shanhui Fan
To optimize the coupling efficiency of grating couplers, we extend an analytical model for the design of apodized grating couplers, taking into account the constraints on the upper…
Design of a multi-channel photonic crystal dielectric laser accelerator
Zhexin Zhao, Dylan S. Black, R. Joel England +5
To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this pu…
Nonreciprocal radiative heat transfer between two planar bodies
Lingling Fan, Yu Guo, Georgia T. Papadakis +5
We develop an analytical framework for nonreciprocal radiative heat transfer in two-body planar systems. Based on our formalism, we identify effects that are uniquely nonreciprocal…
Broadening near-field emission for performance enhancement in thermophotovoltaics
Georgia T. Papadakis, Siddharth Buddhiraju, Zhexin Zhao +2
The conventional notion for achieving high efficiency in thermophotovoltaics (TPVs) is to use a monochromatic emission at a photon energy corresponding to the band gap of the cell.…
Penetration depth reduction with plasmonic metafilms
Nathan Z. Zhao, Ian A. D. Williamson, Zhexin Zhao +2
In many optical systems, including metal films, dielectric reflectors, and photonic crystals, electromagnetic waves can experience evanescent decay. The spatial length scale of suc…
High reflection from a one-dimensional array of graphene nanoribbons
Nathan Zhao, Zhexin Zhao, Ian Williamson +3
We show that up to 90% reflectivity can be achieved by using guided plasmonic resonances in a one-dimensional periodic array of plasmonic nanoribbon. In general, to achieve strong…
On-Chip Laser Power Delivery System for Dielectric Laser Accelerators
Tyler W. Hughes, Si Tan, Zhexin Zhao +12
We propose an on-chip optical power delivery system for dielectric laser accelerators based on a fractal 'tree-branch' dielectric waveguide network. This system replaces experiment…
