Extreme light confinement mediated by the transverse Kerker effect
Sergei Gladyshev, Connor Heimig, Adrià Canós Valero +7
Dielectric nanoparticles can be engineered to scatter light predominantly in the transverse direction, a phenomenon known as the transverse Kerker effect. Although complete cancela…

Chiral Nonlinear Polaritonics with van der Waals Metasurfaces
Connor Heimig, Alexander A. Antonov, Dmytro Gryb +10
In the strong-coupling regime, the interaction between light and matter reaches a hybridization state where the photonic and material components are inseparably linked. Using tailo…
