Electro-optical switching by liquid-crystal controlled metasurfaces
Manuel Decker, Christian Kremers, Alexander Minovich +6
We study the optical response of a metamaterial surface created by a lattice of split-ring resonators covered with a nematic liquid crystal and demonstrate millisecond timescale sw…
Generation and near-field imaging of Airy surface plasmons
Alexander Minovich, Angela E. Klein, Norik Janunts +3
We demonstrate experimentally the generation and near-field imaging of nondiffracting surface waves - plasmonic Airy beams, propagating on the surface of a gold metal film. The Air…
Tunable fishnet metamaterials infiltrated by liquid crystals
Alexander Minovich, Dragomir N. Neshev, David A. Powell +2
We analyze numerically the optical response and effective macroscopic parameters of fishnet metamaterials infiltrated with a nematic liquid crystal. We show that even a small amoun…
Extraordinary transmission of nanohole lattices in gold films
Alexander Minovich, Haroldo T. Hattori, Ian McKerracher +4
We study experimentally the transmission of light through a square lattice of nanoholes perforated in a optically-thick gold film. We observe that the periodicity of the structure…
Diffraction-managed solitons and nonlinear beam diffusion in modulated arrays of optical waveguides
Alexander Szameit, Ivan L. Garanovich, Matthias Heinrich +10
We study propagation of light in nonlinear diffraction-managed photonic lattices created with arrays of periodically-curved coupled optical waveguides which were fabricated using f…
