Optical Spin Effects Induced by Phase Conjugation at a Space-Time Interface
Carlo Rizza, Alessandra Contestabile, Maria Antonietta Vincenti +5
Electromagnetic temporal boundaries, emerging when the constitutive parameters of a medium undergo abrupt temporal variations, have garnered significant interest for their role in…
All-optical polarization control in time-varying low-index films via plasma symmetry breaking
Wallace Jaffray, Sven Stengel, Alexandra Boltasseva +6
Controlling the polarization state of light with sub-picosecond speed and subwavelength precision remains a key challenge for next-generation nanophotonic devices. Conventional met…
Unconventional Magnetism, Sliding Ferroelectricity, and Magneto-Optical Kerr Effects in a Multiferroic Bilayer
Chen Xinfeng, Ding Ning, Paolo Barone +6
Antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials offer a promising platform for exploring novel couplings between altermagnetic (AM) spin-splitting and magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE), with po…
Extreme electrodynamics in time-varying media
M. Scalora, M. A. Vincenti, D. de Ceglia +7
Abrupt time variations of the properties of optical materials have been at the center of intense research efforts in recent years, with the prospect of enabling extreme wave transf…
