Enhancing Optical Gradient Forces with Metamaterials
Vincent Ginis, Philippe Tassin, Costas M. Soukoulis +1
We demonstrate how the optical gradient force between two waveguides can be enhanced using transformation optics. A thin layer of double-negative or single-negative metamaterial ca…
Creating electromagnetic cavities using transformation optics
Vincent Ginis, Philippe Tassin, Jan Danckaert +2
We investigate the potential of transformation optics for the design of novel electromagnetic cavities. First, we determine the dispersion relation of bound modes in a device perfo…
Miniaturization of photonic waveguides by the use of left-handed materials
Philippe Tassin, Xavier Sahyoun, Irina Veretennicoff
We propose the use of a left-handed material in an optical waveguide structure to reduce its thickness well below the wavelength of light. We demonstrate that a layer of left-hande…
Negative diffraction pattern dynamics in nonlinear cavities with left-handed materials
Pascal Kockaert, Philippe Tassin, Guy Van der Sande +2
We study a ring cavity filled with a slab of a right-handed material and a slab of a left-handed material. Both layers are assumed to be nonlinear Kerr media. First, we derive a mo…
Frequency converter implementing an optical analogue of the cosmological redshift
V. Ginis, P. Tassin, B. Craps +1
According to general relativity, the frequency of electromagnetic radiation is altered by the expansion of the universe. This effect--commonly referred to as the cosmological redsh…
Impact of nonlocal interactions in dissipative systems: towards minimal-sized localized structures
L. Gelens, G. Van der Sande, P. Tassin +5
In order to investigate the size limit on spatial localized structures in a nonlinear system, we explore the impact of linear nonlocality on their domains of existence and stabilit…
Confining Light in Deep Subwavelength Electromagnetic Cavities
V. Ginis, P. Tassin, C. M. Soukoulis +1
We demonstrate that it is possible to confine electromagnetic radiation in cavities that are significantly smaller than the wavelength of the radiation it encapsulates. To this aim…
