Reflection, transmission and surface susceptibility tensor in two-dimensional materials

Luca Dell'Anna, Yu He, Michele Merano

In a recent experiment, the out-of-plane surface susceptibility of a single-layer two-dimensional atom crystal in the visible spectrum has been measured. This susceptibility gives…

Optical response of a bilayer crystal

Luca Dell'Anna, Michele Merano

We extend the recently developed classical theory for the optical response of a single-layer crystal to bilayers. We account for the interaction between the two atomic planes and t…

Radiation-reaction electromagnetic fields in metasurfaces, a complete description of their optical properties

Michele Merano

This paper derives the macroscopic electric and magnetic fields and the surface susceptibilities for a metasurface, starting from the microscopic scatterer distribution. It is assu…

Measurement of the surface susceptibility and the surface conductivity of atomically thin by spectroscopic ellipsometry

Gaurav Jayaswal, Zhenyu Dai, Xixiang Zhang +3

We show how to correctly extract from the ellipsometric data the surface susceptibility and the surface conductivity that describe the optical properties of monolayer .…

Optical beam shifts in graphene and single-layer boron-nitride

Michele Merano

Optical beam shifts from a free-standing two-dimensional atomic crystal are investigated. In contrast to a three-dimensional crystal the magnitude of the Goos-Hnchen…

Role of the radiation-reaction electric field in the optical response of two-dimensional crystals

Michele Merano

A classical theory of a radiating two-dimensional crystal is proposed and an expression for the radiative-reaction electric field is derived. This field plays an essential role in…

Transverse electric surface mode in atomically thin Boron-Nitride

Michele Merano

The spatial confinement and the propagation length of surface waves in a single-layer two-dimensional atomic crystal are analysed in term of its surface susceptibility and its surf…

Clausius-Mossotti Lorentz-Lorenz relations and retardation effects for two-dimensional crystals

Luca Dell'Anna, Michele Merano

The macroscopic surface electric susceptibility determines the linear optical properties of an insulating single-layer two-dimensional atomic crystal, and can be expressed in terms…

Nonlinear optical response of a two-dimensional atomic crystal

Michele Merano

The theory of Bloembergen and Pershan for the light waves at the boundary of nonlinear media is extended to a nonlinear two-dimensional atomic crystal, i.e. a single planar atomic…

The wave impedance of an atomically thin crystal

Michele Merano

I propose an expression for the electromagnetic wave impedance of a two-dimensional atomic crystal, and I deduce the Fresnel coefficients in terms of this quantity. It is widely kn…

Fresnel coefficients of a two-dimensional atomic crystal

Michele Merano

In general the experiments on the linear optical properties of a single-layer two-dimensional atomic crystal are interpreted by modeling it as a homogeneous slab with an effective…

Orbital angular momentum induced beam shifts

N. Hermosa, M. Merano, A. Aiello +1

We present experiments on Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) induced beam shifts in optical reflection. Specifically, we observe the spatial Goos-Hänchen shift in which the beam is dis…

How orbital angular momentum affects beam shifts in optical reflection

M. Merano, N. Hermosa, A. Aiello +1

It is well known that reflection of a Gaussian light beam () by a planar dielectric interface leads to four beam shifts when compared to the geometrical-optics pre…

Duality Between Spatial and Angular Shift in Optical Reflection

A. Aiello, M. Merano, J. P. Woerdman

We report a unified representation of the spatial and angular Goos-Hanchen and Imbert-Fedorov shifts that occur when a light beam reflects from a plane interface. We thus reveal th…

Brewster cross-polarization

A. Aiello, M. Merano, J. P. Woerdman

We theoretically derive the polarization-resolved intensity distribution of a -polarized fundamental Gaussian beam reflected by an air-glass plane interface at Brewster inciden…

Observation of Goos-Hänchen shifts in metallic reflection

M. Merano, A. Aiello, G. W. 't Hooft +3

We report the first observation of the Goos-Hnchen shift of a light beam incident on a metal surface. This phenomenon is particularly interesting because the…
