Optical spin waves
Vage Karakhanyan, Roland Salut, Miguel Suarez +2
Chirality is inherent to a broad range of systems, including in solid-state and wave physics. The precession (chiral motion) of electron spins in magnetic materials, forming spin w…
Inverse-Faraday effect from the orbital angular momentum of light
Vage Karakhanyan, Clément Eustache, Yannick Lefier +1
It is usually admitted that the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) originates from the spin angular momentum (SAM) of light. In this paper, we evidence that part of the IFE in a metal is…
Optomagnets in nonmagnetic plasmonic nanostructures
Vage Karakhanyan, Yannick Lefier, Clément Eustache +1
Using a hydrodynamic model of the free electron gas of metal, we theoretically investigate optically-induced DC current loops in a plasmonic nanostructure. Such current loops origi…
Individual plasmonic helix for probing light chirality
Mengjia Wang, Roland Salut, Miguel Angel Suarez +2
We investigate the plasmonic nanohelix as an individual subwavelength element for locally probing light chirality. We show that an hybrid nanoantenna combining a carbon-gold core-s…
Controlling light polarization by swirling surface plasmons
Mengjia Wang, Roland Salut, Huihui Lu +3
Light polarization is a key aspect of modern optics. Current methods for polarization control utilize birefringence and dichroism of anisotropic materials or of arrays of anisotrop…
Bloch surface waves at the telecommunication wavelength with Lithium Niobate as top layer for integrated optics
Tatiana Kovalevich, Djaffar Belharet, Laurent Robert +5
Lithium niobate (LN) based devices are widely used in integrated and nonlinear optics. This material is robust and resistive to high temperatures, which makes the LN-based devices…
