Inverse-designed 3D laser nanoprinted phase masks to extend the depth of field of imaging systems

T. J. Sturges, M. Nyman, S. Kalt +5

In optical imaging, achieving high resolution often comes at the expense of a shallow depth of field. This means that when using a standard microscope, any minor movement of the ob…

Inverse Design of Polaritonic Devices

Oliver Kuster, Yannick Augenstein, Carsten Rockstuhl +1

Polaritons, arising from the strong coupling between excitons and photons within microcavities, hold promise for optoelectronic and all-optical devices. They have found application…

Directionality between driven-dissipative resonators

C. A. Downing, T. J. Sturges

The notion of nonreciprocity, in essence when going forwards is different from going backwards, emerges in all branches of physics from cosmology to electromagnetism. Intriguingly,…

Extreme renormalisations of dimer eigenmodes by strong light-matter coupling

Thomas J. Sturges, Taavi Repän, Charles A. Downing +2

We explore by theoretical means an extreme renormalisation of the eigenmodes of a dimer of dipolar meta-atoms due to strong light-matter interactions. Firstly, by tuning the height…

Topological phases of polaritons in a cavity waveguide

C. A. Downing, T. J. Sturges, G. Weick +2

We study the unconventional topological phases of polaritons inside a cavity waveguide, demonstrating how strong light-matter coupling leads to a breakdown of the bulk-edge corresp…
