Thermal spin photonics in the near-field of nonreciprocal media
Chinmay Khandekar, Zubin Jacob
The interplay of spin angular momentum and thermal radiation is a frontier area of interest to nanophotonics as well as topological physics. Here, we show that a thick planar slab…
Circularly polarized thermal radiation from nonequilibrium coupled antennas
Chinmay Khandekar, Zubin Jacob
Circularly polarized light can be obtained by using either polarization conversion or structural chirality. Here we reveal a fundamentally unrelated mechanism of generating circula…
Near-field refrigeration and tunable heat exchange through four-wave mixing
Chinmay Khandekar, Riccardo Messina, Alejandro W. Rodriguez
We modify and extend a recently proposed four-wave mixing scheme [Opt. Express 25 (19),23164 (2017)] for achieving near-field thermal upconversion and energy transfer, to demonstra…
Thermal bistability through coupled photonic resonances
Chinmay Khandekar, Alejandro W. Rodriguez
We present a scheme for achieving thermal bistability based on the selective coupling of three optical resonances. This approach requires one of the resonant frequencies to be temp…
Near-field thermal upconversion and energy transfer through a Kerr medium : Theory
Chinmay Khandekar, Alejandro W. Rodriguez
We present an approach for achieving large Kerr --mediated thermal energy transfer at the nanoscale that exploits a general coupled-mode description of triply resonant, fo…
Thermal radiation from optically driven Kerr () photonic cavities
Chinmay Khandekar, Zin Lin, Alejandro W. Rodriguez
We study thermal radiation from nonlinear () photonic cavities coupled to external channels and subject to incident monochromatic light. Our work extends related work on n…
