Thermal excitation of plasmons for near-field thermophotovoltaics
Yu Guo, Sean Molesky, Huan Hu +2
The traditional approaches of exciting plasmons consist of using electrons (eg: electron energy loss spectroscopy) or light (Kretchman and Otto geometry) while more recently plasmo…
Giant non-equilibrium vacuum friction: Role of singular evanescent wave resonances in moving media
Yu Guo, Zubin Jacob
We recently reported on the existence of a singular resonance in moving media which arises due to perfect amplitude and phase balance of evanescent waves. We show here that the non…
Transparent subdiffraction optics: nanoscale light confinement without metal
Saman Jahani, Zubin Jacob
The integration of nanoscale electronics with conventional optical devices is restricted by the diffraction limit of light. Metals can confine light at the subwavelength scales nee…
Photonic skin-depth engineering
Saman Jahani, Zubin Jacob
Recently we proposed a paradigm shift in light confinement strategy showing how relaxed total internal reflection and photonic skin-depth engineering can lead to sub-diffraction wa…
Fluctuational electrodynamics of hyperbolic metamaterials
Yu Guo, Zubin Jacob
We give a detailed account of equilibrium and non-equilibrium fluctuational electrodynamics of hyperbolic metamaterials. We show the unifying aspects of two different approaches; o…
Directional out-coupling from active hyperbolic metamaterials
Tal Galfsky, Harish N. S. Krishnamoorthy, Ward D. Newman +3
Hyperbolic Metamaterials (HMMs) have recently garnered much attention because they possess the ability for broadband manipulation of the photon density of states and sub-wavelength…
