Shaping Near Fields of Photonic Modes into Topological Textures

Jonas Biechteler, Michael Hirler, Connor Heimig +5

Topological textures of light, such as optical vortices and skyrmions, are attractive for high-density information encoding and light-matter interactions. In the near field, topolo…

Dual-Gradient Plasmonic qBIC Metasurface for Time-Resolved In Situ Optimization of Molecular Vibrational Sensing in Water

Tao Jiang, Michael Hirler, Lina Rohrer +8

Metaphotonic platforms based on quasi-bound states in the continuum (qBICs), harnessing strong near-field enhancement and deeply subwavelength field confinement, provide a versatil…

Plasmonic Fourier Surfaces Revisited: Relating Bandgaps with Bound States in the Continuum

Alexander A. Antonov, Connor Heimig, Hannah Niese +5

Periodically corrugated metal interfaces supporting surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) belong to the earliest nanoplasmonic platforms. Even simplest reliefs described by a few harmo…

Orbital Angular Momentum Locking via Bound States in the Continuum

Enrico Baù, Connor Heimig, Jonas Biechteler +6

Optical vortices are electromagnetic fields twisting around a phase singularity, resulting in quantized orbital angular momentum (OAM). When such vortices are formed by evanescent…

Rewritable Chirality of Metasurfaces with Permittivity-Asymmetric Flatband Quasi-Bound States in the Continuum

Tao Jiang, Haiyang Hu, Dmytro Gryb +4

Flatband eigenstates are widely applied to enhance angle-robust light-matter interactions in metaphotonics. However, controlling the polarization of flatbands remains challenging,…

Extreme light confinement mediated by the transverse Kerker effect

Sergei Gladyshev, Connor Heimig, Adrià Canós Valero +7

Dielectric nanoparticles can be engineered to scatter light predominantly in the transverse direction, a phenomenon known as the transverse Kerker effect. Although complete cancela…
