Compound symmetries and double antisymmetry groups in linear time-invariant photonic systems

Yunrui Wang, Shiyu Li, Cheng Guo

Symmetry is fundamental to photonic systems. External (spatial) symmetries and internal symmetries---Lorentz reciprocity, energy conservation, and time-reversal symmetry---constrai…

Joint control of coherent transmission, reflection, and absorption

Shiyu Li, Dongha Kim, Shanhui Fan +1

Controlling multiple wave properties simultaneously poses a key challenge in coherent control of wave transport. We present a theory for joint coherent control of transmission, ref…

Generating topological non-diffracting beams using high quality factor nonlocal metasurfaces

Dongha Kim, Charles Pelzman, Cheng Guo +3

Non-diffracting optical beams are essential tools in photonics, enabling robust light transport, super-resolution imaging, and spatiotemporal control. While nonlocal metasurfaces h…

Roadmap on Nonlocality in Photonic Materials and Metamaterials

Francesco Monticone, N. Asger Mortensen, Antonio I. Fernández-Domínguez +63

Photonic technologies continue to drive the quest for new optical materials with unprecedented responses. A major frontier in this field is the exploration of nonlocal (spatially d…

Spatiotemporal steering of non-diffracting wavepackets

Haiwen Wang, Cheng Guo, Shanhui Fan

We study the dynamics of space-time non-diffracting wavepackets, commonly known as light bullets, in a spatiotemporally varying medium. We show that by spatiotemporal refraction, a…

Passivity constraints on the relations between transmission, reflection, and absorption eigenvalues

Cheng Guo, Shanhui Fan

We investigate the passivity constraints on the relations between transmission, reflection, and absorption eigenvalues in linear time-invariant systems. Using techniques from matri…
