On the origin and properties of dipolar recoil force and torque
Sebastian Golat, Nathaniel Levy, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
The recoil optical force and torque acting on an electromagnetic dipole are typically derived by computing the imbalance in radiated linear and angular electromagnetic momentum com…
Surface Plasmon Polariton Excitation in Time-modulated Media
T. V. Raziman, Marie Touboul, Riccardo Sapienza +2
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are central to application areas such as sensing, energy harvesting, and nanoscale optics, and are typically excited via spatial structuring -- an…
Bulk-to-surface coupling of spatiotemporal vortices
Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño, Michela F. Picardi, Konstantin Y. Bliokh
We consider the coupling of bulk space-time-structured waves, such as spatiotemporal vortex pulses (STVPs), to surface waves, such as surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs). For resonan…
Fresnel reflection coefficients in the Fourier domain for a planar surface in uniform motion parallel to its interface
Stéphane Azar, Sebastian Golat, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño
The optical reflection coefficient of a dielectric medium moving uniformly in the plane spanned by its surface is rigorously calculated using classical electrodynamics and special…
