Optically Incoherent Photonic Mutual Information
Francis J. Chen, Alessio Amaolo, Pengning Chao +3
While traditional evaluations of optical information transfer rely on disjointed abstractions to bridge electromagnetic propagation, coherence, and communication theory, we introdu…
Indexed singular value bounds on scattering operators: How many channels can a photonic device support?
Paul Virally, Pengning Chao, Alessio Amaolo +2
Spectral properties of scattering operators, and their dependence on geometry, are of crucial importance to photonic design, enabling low-rank approximations and improved understan…
Inferring Structure via Duality for Photonic Inverse Design
Sean Molesky, Pengning Chao, Alessio Amaolo +1
Led by a result derived from Sion's minimax theorem concerning constraint violation in quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs) with at least one constraint bounding th…
Bounds as blueprints: towards optimal and accelerated photonic inverse design
Pengning Chao, Alessio Amaolo, Sean Molesky +1
Our ability to structure materials at the nanoscale has, and continues to, enable key advances in optical control. In pursuit of optimal photonic designs, substantial progress has…
Maximum Shannon Capacity of Photonic Structures
Alessio Amaolo, Pengning Chao, Benjamin Strekha +4
Information transfer through electromagnetic waves is an important problem that touches a variety of technologically relevant applications, including computing and telecommunicatio…
Limitations on bandwidth-integrated passive cloaking
Benjamin Strekha, Alessio Amaolo, Jewel Mohajan +3
We present a general framework for the computation of structure-agnostic bounds on the performance of passive cloaks over a nonzero bandwidth. We apply this framework in 2D to the…
Physical limits on Raman scattering: the critical role of pump and signal co-design
Alessio Amaolo, Pengning Chao, Thomas J. Maldonado +2
We present a method for deriving limits on Raman scattering in structured media and exploit it to constrain the maximum Raman signal resulting from a planewave incident on either a…
Trace expressions and associated limits for equilibrium Casimir torque
Benjamin Strekha, Matthias Krüger, Alejandro W. Rodriguez
We exploit fluctuational electrodynamics to present trace expressions for the torque experienced by arbitrary objects in a passive, nonabsorbing, rotationally invariant background…
Suppressing electromagnetic local density of states via slow light in lossy quasi-1d gratings
Benjamin Strekha, Pengning Chao, Rodrick Kuate Defo +2
We propose a spectral-averaging procedure that enables computation of bandwidth-integrated local density of states (LDOS) from a single scattering calculation, and exploit it to in…
