Metamaterials, artificially constructed structures that mimic lattices in natural materials, have
made numerous contributions to the development of unconventional optical devices. With an …

In quantum optical Enhancement of Index of Refraction (EIR), coherence and quantum
interference render the atomic systems to exhibit orders of magnitude higher susceptibilities …

Recently, coherent control of the optical response of thin films in standing waves has
attracted considerable attention, ranging from applications in excitation-selective …

Common methods to achieve photon number resolution rely on fast on-off single-photon
detectors in conjunction with temporal or spatial mode multiplexing. Yet, these methods …

Polarization oscillating beams, namely, polarization standing waves, commonly formed by a
pair of coherent counterpropagating light waves with orthogonal polarizations, oscillate their …

Engineering light absorption in graphene has been the focus of intensive research in the
past few years. In this paper, we show numerically that coherent perfect absorption can be …

Nanophotonic particle manipulation exploits unique light shaping capabilities of
nanophotonic devices to trap, guide, rotate and propel particles in microfluidic channels …

Flat, gradient index, metasurface optics–in particular all-dielectric metalenses–have
emerged and evolved over recent years as compact, lightweight alternative to their …

We demonstrate a non-contact optical magnetic field sensor that is based on actuation of a
metamaterial-microcavity by the magnetic Lorentz force. Magnetic field is transduced to a …

A fiber optic-based all-optical amplifier is designed by using the coherent perfect absorption
phenomenon. For this purpose, we use a deposited chromium thin layer as an absorbent …
