Casimir forces in the time domain: I. Theory
Alejandro W. Rodriguez, Alexander P. McCauley, John D. Joannopoulos +1
We introduce a method to compute Casimir forces in arbitrary geometries and for arbitrary materials based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) scheme. The method involves th…
Stable suspension and dispersion-induced transitions from repulsive Casimir forces between fluid-separated eccentric cylinders
Alejandro W. Rodriguez, J. N. Munday, J. D. Joannopoulos +3
Using an exact numerical method for finite nonplanar objects, we demonstrate a stable mechanical suspension of a silica cylinder within a metallic cylinder separated by ethanol, vi…
Tailoring optical nonlinearities via the Purcell effect
Peter Bermel, Alejandro Rodriguez, John D. Joannopoulos +1
We predict that the effective nonlinear optical susceptibility can be tailored using the Purcell effect. While this is a general physical principle that applies to a wide variety o…
Virtual photons in imaginary time: Computing exact Casimir forces via standard numerical-electromagnetism techniques
Alejandro Rodriguez, Mihai Ibanescu, Davide Iannuzzi +2
We describe a numerical method to compute Casimir forces in arbitrary geometries, for arbitrary dielectric and metallic materials, with arbitrary accuracy (given sufficient computa…
