Tamm plasmon provides a new avenue in plasmonics of interface states in planar multilayer
structures due to its strong light matter interaction. This article reviews the research and …

The propagation of surface electromagnetic waves along photonic crystal (PC) boundaries
is examined. It is shown that in a number of cases, these are backward waves. The nature of …

Conventional surface plasmons have a wave vector exceeding that of light in vacuum, and
therefore cannot be directly excited by light that is simply incident on the surface. However …

Various topological laser concepts have recently enabled the demonstration of robust light-
emitting devices that are immune to structural deformations and tolerant to fabrication …

Nanophotonics is where photonics merges with nanoscience and nanotechnology, and
where spatial confinement considerably modifies light propagation and light-matter …

Kirchhoff's law is one of the most fundamental law in thermal radiation. The violation of
traditional Kirchhoff's law provides possibilities for achieving energy conversion with higher …

We demonstrate that confined Tamm plasmon modes can be advantageously exploited for
the realization of new kind of metal/semiconductor lasers. Laser emission is demonstrated …

In this paper, we have shown that perfect absorption at terahertz frequencies can be
achieved by using a composite structure where graphene is coated on one-dimensional …

Combining functional response materials into colloidal photonic crystals is an accepted
encryption strategy for information security. Here, bilayer inverse heterostructure photonic …

We introduce a new “universality class” of artificial optical media—photonic hypercrystals.
These hyperbolic metamaterials, with periodic spatial variation of dielectric permittivity on …
