Antireflection by design in bilayer metasurfaces
Jaewon Oh, Davide Cassara, Alfonso Palmieri +5
Antireflection coatings are ubiquitous in optical systems, where they maximize transmission and suppress undesirable reflections by impedance-matching uniform interfaces. Extending…
Self-healing of the Montgomery pattern
Athena Xu, Oscar de Vries, Alfonso Palmieri +3
Self-healing -- the ability of a structured beam to reconstruct its transverse profile after partial obstruction -- has been demonstrated for diffraction-free beams, where the reco…
Multi-Plane Spatially Resolved Phase Structuring Using Optical Communication Modes
Vinicius S. de Angelis, Maximilian Jeindl, Leonardo A. Ambrosio +3
We present a deterministic framework for three-dimensional beam shaping that enables versatile control of intensity and phase, pixel-by-pixel, across multiple axial planes. Convent…
Silica meta-optics: When high-performance does not need a high-index
Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri, Vitthal Mishra +3
Metasurfaces -- planar arrays of subwavelength nanostructures -- are typically realized with high-index dielectrics, while low-index platforms are often dismissed for their weaker…
Observation of spatially structured Montgomery effect in free space
Murat Yessenov, Luca Sacchi, Alfonso Palmieri +3
We report the first direct observation of the spatially structured Montgomery effect, a lensless self-imaging phenomenon that generalizes the Talbot effect to aperiodic structures,…
Topology-Optimized Dielectric Cavities for Enhanced Excitonic Light Emission from
Owen Matthiessen, Brandon Triplett, Omer Yesilyurt +14
Photonic inverse design and, especially, topology optimization, enable dielectric cavities with deeply sub-diffraction mode volumes and high quality factors, thus offering a powerf…
