Polarisation Control of Nanoantenna Cold Spots

Alexander J. Vernon, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño

Cold spots are sub-wavelength regions which might emerge near a plasmonic nanoantenna, should one or more components of some far-field illumination cancel out with scattered light.…

The dependence of evanescent wave polarization on the losses of guided optical modes

Sinuhé Perea-Puente, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño

Spin-momentum locking of evanescent waves describes the relationship between the propagation constant of an evanescent mode and the polarization of its electromagnetic field, givin…

Enhancement of recoil optical forces via high-k plasmons on thin metallic films

J. A. Girón-Sedas, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño

The recoil optical force that acts on emitters near a surface or waveguide relies on near-field directionality and conservation of momentum. It features desirable properties uncomm…

Far-field and near-field directionality in acoustic scattering

Lei Wei, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño

Far-field directional scattering and near-field directional coupling from simple sources have recently received great attention in photonics: beyond circularly-polarized dipoles, w…

Optical magnetic dipole levitation using a plasmonic surface

Jack J. Kingsley-Smith, Michela F. Picardi, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño

Optically-induced magnetic resonances in non-magnetic media have unlocked magnetic light-matter interactions and led to new technologies in many research fields. Previous proposals…

Momentum-space geometric structure of helical evanescent waves and its implications on near-field directionality

Lei Wei, Francisco J. Rodríguez-Fortuño

In this work, a momentum-space geometrical structure in helical evanescent electromagnetic waves is revealed. It is shown that for every helical evanescent wave on a helicity-depen…
