Leaky waves have been among the most active areas of research in microwave engineering
over the second half of the 20th century. They have been shown to dominate the near-field …

Confining electromagnetic energy is crucial to enhance light‐matter interactions, with
important implications for science and technology. Here, the opportunities offered by …

Since the 80's, specialists of gratings can rely on very powerful grating softwares [1-6].
These softwares are able to compute grating efficiencies for almost any kind of grating in any …

We investigate local-field enhancement phenomena in subwavelength, ε-near-zero (ENZ)
slabs that do not exploit Fabry-Pérot resonances. In particular, we study the linear response …

We show that hyperbolic metamaterials (HMs) that exhibit hyperbolic wave-vector dispersion
diagrams possess two important features related to super absorption: The total power …

We investigate second-harmonic generation, low-threshold multistability, all-optical
switching, and inherently nonlocal effects due to the free-electron gas pressure in an epsilon …

Metamaterials have introduced a whole new world of unusual materials with functionalities
that cannot be attained in naturally occurring material systems by mimicking and controlling …

We analyze in detail the energy transport of surface phonon polaritons propagating in a
chain of spheroidal polar nanoparticles with both longitudinal and transversal polarizations …

In this paper we develop a microscopic analysis of the light scattering on a periodic two-level
atomic array coupled to an optical nanofiber. We extend the scattering matrix approach for …

Nanocrystal superlattices have emerged as a new platform for bottom-up metamaterial
design, but their optical properties are largely unknown. Here, we investigate their emergent …
