In recent years, OFDM has been the focus of extensive research efforts in optical
transmission and networking, initially as a means to overcome physical impairments in …

A hyperbolic material (HM) is an optical material that exhibits a unique property of having
anisotropy with simultaneously different signs of the permittivity tensor components. Such a …

Hyperbolic polaritons in van der Waals (vdW) materials recently attract a lot of attention,
owing to their strong electromagnetic field confinement, ultraslow group velocities, and long …

A surface wave (SW) in optics is a light wave, which is supported at an interface of two
dissimilar media and propagates along the interface with its field amplitude exponentially …

Guiding light at the nanoscale is usually accomplished using surface plasmons,,,,,,,,,,,.
However, plasmons propagating at the surface of a metal sustain propagation losses. A …

Optical surface waves, highly localized modes bound to the surface of media, enable
manipulation of light at nanoscale, thus impacting a wide range of areas in nanoscience. By …

We analyzed surface-wave propagation that takes place at the boundary between a semi-
infinite dielectric and a multilayered metamaterial, the latter with indefinite permittivity and …

The development of engineered metamaterials has enabled the fabrication of tunable
photonic devices capable of manipulating the characteristics of electromagnetic surface …

Recent years have seen a new wave of interest in layered media–namely, plasmonic
multilayers–in several emerging applications ranging from transparent metals to hyperbolic …

Surface polaritons in an anisotropic media possess a strong dependence of the wave vector
on the propagation direction, which is called the isofrequency contour. This can lead to the …
