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…
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…
Broadband circularly polarized thermal radiation from magnetic Weyl semimetals
Yifan Wang, Chinmay Khandekar, Xingyu Gao +3
We numerically demonstrate that a planar slab made of magnetic Weyl semimetal (a class of topological materials) can emit high-purity circularly polarized (CP) thermal radiation ov…
Thermal equilibrium spin torque: Near-field radiative angular momentum transfer in magneto-optical media
Xingyu Gao, Chinmay Khandekar, Zubin Jacob +1
Spin and orbital angular momentum of light plays a central role in quantum nanophotonics as well as topological electrodynamics. Here, we show that the thermal radiation from finit…
High Temperature Thermal Photonics
Xueji Wang, Ryan Starko-Bowes, Chinmay Khandekar +1
Controlling and detecting thermal radiation is of vital importance for varied applications ranging from energy conversion systems and nanoscale information processing devices to in…
