Computational Kerr-Ellipsometry: Quantifying Broadband Optical Nonreciprocity of Magneto-Optic Materials
Vishal Choudhury, Chinmay Khandekar, Ashwin K. Boddeti +7
Characterizing the optical response of magneto-optic and magnetic materials usually relies on semi-classical models (e.g. Lorentz oscillator model) involving few parameters or mode…
Giant Enhancement of Vacuum Friction in Spinning YIG Nanospheres
Farhad Khosravi, Wenbo Sun, Chinmay Khandekar +2
Experimental observations of vacuum radiation and vacuum frictional torque are challenging due to their vanishingly small effects in practical systems. For example, a rotating nano…
First-Principles Study of Large Gyrotropy in MnBi for Infrared Thermal Photonics
Md Roknuzzaman, Sathwik Bharadwaj, Yifan Wang +4
Nonreciprocal gyrotropic materials have attracted significant interest recently in material physics, nanophotonics, and topological physics. Most of the well-known nonreciprocal ma…
Origin of the repulsive Casimir force in giant polarization-interconversion materials
Zhou Li, Chinmay Khandekar
Achieving strong repulsive Casimir forces through engineered coatings can pave the way for micro- and nano-electromechanical applications where adhesive forces currently cause reli…
Laser cooling assisted thermal management of lightsails
Weiliang Jin, Wei Li, Chinmay Khandekar +2
A lightsail can be accelerated to ultra-high speed by the radiation pressure of a laser having an intensity of the order of GW/m, which though presents a critical challenge in…
Direct thermal infrared vision via nanophotonic detector design
Chinmay Khandekar, Weiliang Jin, Shanhui Fan
Detection of infrared (IR) photons in a room-temperature IR camera is carried out by a two-dimensional array of microbolometer pixels which exhibit temperature-sensitive resistivit…
