Losses in plasmonics: from mitigating energy dissipation to embracing loss-enabled functionalities
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Thomas Alan Cooper, Lingping Zeng +7
Unlike conventional optics, plasmonics enables unrivalled concentration of optical energy well beyond the diffraction limit of light. However, a significant part of this energy is…
Topological engineering of interfacial optical Tamm states for highly-sensitive near-singular-phase optical detection
Yoichiro Tsurimaki, Jonathan K. Tong, Victor N. Boriskin +5
We developed planar multilayered photonic-plasmonic structures, which support topologically protected optical states on the interface between metal and dielectric materials, known…
Hybrid optical-thermal antennas for enhanced light focusing and local temperature control
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Lee A. Weinstein, Jonathan K. Tong +2
Metal nanoantennas supporting localized surface plasmon resonances have become an indispensable tool in bio(chemical) sensing and nanoscale imaging applications. The high plasmon-e…
Entropic and Near-Field Improvements of Thermoradiative Cells
Wei-Chun Hsu, Jonathan K. Tong, Bolin Liao +3
A p-n junction maintained at above ambient temperature can work as a heat engine, converting some of the supplied heat into electricity and rejecting entropy by interband emission.…
Enhancement and tunability of near-field radiative heat transfer mediated by surface plasmon polaritons in thin plasmonic films
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Yi Huang +3
The properties of thermal radiation exchange between hot and cold objects can be strongly modified if they interact in the near field where electromagnetic coupling occurs across g…
Heat meets light on the nanoscale
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Wei-Chun Hsu +4
We discuss the state-of-the-art and remaining challenges in the fundamental understanding and technology development for controlling light-matter interactions in nanophotonic envir…
Hybrid optical-thermal devices and materials for light manipulation and radiative cooling
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Wei-Chun Hsu +5
We report on optical design and applications of hybrid meso-scale devices and materials that combine optical and thermal management functionalities owing to their tailored resonant…
Infrared-Transparent Visible-Opaque Fabrics for Wearable Personal Thermal Management
Jonathan K. Tong, Xiaopeng Huang, Svetlana V. Boriskina +3
Personal cooling technologies locally control the temperature of an individual rather than a large space, thus providing personal thermal comfort while supplementing cooling loads…
Local field topology behind light localization and metamaterial topological transitions
Jonathan Tong, Alvin Mercedes, Gang Chen +1
We revisit the mechanisms governing the sub-wavelength spatial localization of light in surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes by investigating both local and global features in opt…
Thin-film 'Thermal Well' Emitters and Absorbers for High-Efficiency Thermophotovoltaics
Jonathan K. Tong, Wei-Chun Hsu, Yi Huang +2
A new approach is introduced to significantly improve the performance of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems by using low-dimensional thermal emitters and photovoltaic (PV) cells. By…
