Three-dimensional confinement of light in photonic crystals without bandgaps
Manxi Shi, Sachin Vaidya, Ali Ghorashi +2
We demonstrate that confinement of light in three dimensions is possible in photonic crystals without a complete photonic bandgap. Our approach exploits symmetry-protected quadrati…
Plasmonic coated scatterers for tunable coherent perfect absorption
Ali Ghorashi, Ali H. Alhulaymi, A. Douglas Stone
We derive, in closed-form, the surface conductivity required for coated subwavelength-scale spherical and cylindrical scatterers to perfectly absorb incident coherent light of fixe…
Alkali Intercalation of Moire Heterostructures for Low-Loss Plasmonics
Ali Ghorashi, Nicholas Rivera, Ravishankar Sundararaman +3
Two-dimensional metals generically support gapless plasmons with wavelengths well below the wavelength of free-space radiation at the same frequency. Typically, however, this subst…
Symbolic Learning of Topological Bands in Photonic Crystals
Ali Ghorashi, Sachin Vaidya, Ziming Liu +4
Topological photonic crystals (PhCs) that support disorder-resistant modes, protected degeneracies, and robust transport have recently been explored for applications in waveguiding…
