Optical manipulations utilizing the mechanical effect of light have been indispensable in
various disciplines. Among those various manipulations, optical pulling has emerged …

In contrast to a conventional symmetric Lorentzian resonance, Fano resonance is
predominantly used to describe asymmetric-shaped resonances, which arise from the …

Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trapping, and
manipulation of objects, ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work …

This book sets out to build bridges between the domains of photonic device physics and
neural networks, providing a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of" …

Novel materials and devices in photonics have the potential to revolutionize optical
information processing, beyond conventional binary-logic approaches. Laser systems offer a …

When submitted to a magnetic field, micron-size wires with superparamagnetic properties
behave as embedded rheometers and represent interesting sensors for microrheology. Here …

Optical localized states are usually defined as self-localized bistable packets of light, which
exist as independently controllable optical intensity pulses either in the longitudinal or …

The creation of optically powered self-assembling nano-to-meso-scale machines that do
work is a long-standing goal in photonics. We demonstrate an optical matter (OM) machine …

We demonstrate, experimentally and theoretically, excitable nanosecond optical pulses in
optoelectronic integrated circuits operating at telecommunication wavelengths (1550 nm) …

Bistability, excitability, and self-pulsing regimes in an InP-based two-dimensional (2D)
photonic crystal nanocavity with quantum wells as an active medium are investigated. A …
