Two-peaked and flat-top perfect bright solitons in epsilon-near-zero nonlinear metamaterials: novel Kerr self-trapping mechanisms
Alessandro Ciattoni, Carlo Rizza, Elia Palange
We analytically investigate transverse magnetic (TM) spatial bright solitons, as exact solutions of Maxwell's equations, propagating through nonlinear metamaterials whose linear di…
Multistability at arbitrary low optical intensities in a metallo-dielectric layered structure
Alessandro Ciattoni, Carlo Rizza, Elia Palange
We show that a nonlinear metallo-dielectric layered slab of subwavelength thickness and very small average dielectric permittivity displays optical multistable behavior at arbitrar…
Bertrand's paradox: a physical solution
P. Di Porto, B. Crosignani, A. Ciattoni +1
We present a conclusive answer to Bertrand's paradox, a long standing open issue in the basic physical interpretation of probability. The paradox deals with the existence of mutual…
Two-parameters electromagnetic hysteresis of a subwavelength nonlinear epsilon-near-zero slab
Alessandro Ciattoni, Carlo Rizza, Elia Palange
We consider propagation of transverse magnetic electromagnetic waves through a nonlinear metamaterial slab, of subwavelength thickness and very small average dielectric permittivit…
Transmissivity directional hysteresis of a nonlinear metamaterial slab with very small linear permittivity
Alessandro Ciattoni, Carlo Rizza, Elia Palange
We investigate propagation of a transverse magnetic field through a nonlinear metamaterial slab of sub-wavelength thickness and with a very small and negative linear dielectric per…
Optical hollow-core waves in nonlinear Epsilon-Near-Zero metamaterials
C. Rizza, A. Ciattoni, E. Palange
We investigate non-diffracting hollow-core nonlinear optical waves propagating in a layered nanoscaled metal-dielectric structure characterized by a very small average linear diele…
