Photonics of Time-Varying Media
Emanuele Galiffi, Romain Tirole, Shixiong Yin +7
Time-varying media have recently emerged as a new paradigm for wave manipulation, thanks to thesynergy between the discovery of novel, highly nonlinear materials, such as epsilon-n…
Crossing the light line
J. B. Pendry, P. A. Huidobro, M. G. Silveirinha +1
We ask the question 'what happens to Bloch waves in gratings synthetically moving at near the speed of light?'. First we define a constant refractive index (CRI) model in which Blo…
An Archimedes' Screw for Light
Emanuele Galiffi, Paloma A. Huidobro, J. B. Pendry
An Archimedes' Screw captures water, feeding energy into it by lifting it to a higher level. We introduce the first instance of an optical Archimedes' Screw, and demonstrate how th…
Quantum electrodynamics in anisotropic and tilted Dirac photonic lattices
J. Redondo-Yuste, M. Blanco de Paz, P. A. Huidobro +1
One of the most striking predictions of quantum electrodynamics is that vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field can lead to spontaneous emission of atoms as well as photon…
Roadmap on multimode light shaping
Marco Piccardo, Vincent Ginis, Andrew Forbes +35
Our ability to generate new distributions of light has been remarkably enhanced in recent years. At the most fundamental level, these light patterns are obtained by ingeniously com…
Photon localisation and Bloch symmetry breaking in luminal gratings
E. Galiffi, M. G. Silveirinha, P. A. Huidobro +1
In gratings travelling at nearly the velocity of light a symmetry breaking transition is observed between free-flowing fluid-like Bloch waves observed at lower grating velocities a…
