Hopping of nanoparticles in optical tweezers governed by Mie resonances

Ivan Toftul, Libang Mao, Sivacarendran Balendhran +3

Optical tweezers have become a standard tool for manipulating microscale and nanoscale particles and probing their local environments. However, complex particle dynamics under opti…

Optical Supertorque Induced by Mie-Resonant Modes

Ivan Toftul, Mihail Petrov, Romain Quidant +1

We introduce the concept of resonant optical torque that allows enhancing substantially a transfer of optical angular momentum (AM) of light to a subwavelength particle. We conside…

Optical chirality of membrane metasurfaces with broken in-plane symmetry

Ivan Toftul, Brijesh Kumar, Maxim Gorkunov +1

We study chiroptical properties of single-layer dielectric membrane metasurfaces with broken in-plane symmetry. In sharp contrast to a common belief that chiral optical phenomena r…

Intrinsic chirality of dielectric metasurfaces unlocked by resonant chiral modes

Brijesh Kumar, Pavel Tonkaev, Ivan Toftul +7

Controlling optical chirality at the subwavelength scales is essential for many applications of nanophotonic structures in polarization optics, sensing, and nonlinear photonics. Ac…

Nonlinear chiral response governed by meta-atom rotation

Dhruv Hariharan, Pavel Tonkaev, Felix Ulrich Brikh +5

Chiral photonics provides powerful routes for controlling the light handedness, yet nonlinear chiral responses are typically associated with intricate three-dimensional systems. He…

Nonlinear chiral light generation from resonant metasurfaces

Fangxing Lai, Jun Yin, Ivan Toftul +6

Chiral nonlinear response has been explored for decades due to its extreme sensitivity to molecular and structural dissymmetry. Conventional approaches often require bulky systems…
