The first theoretical models of the propagation of an electromagnetic field in a waveguide date back to the second half of the 19th century (Hertz, Debye, Rayleigh). The technological fallout for long ...
In a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2021.210013 , Yechuan Zhu, Xiaolin Chen, Weizheng Yuan, Zhiqin Chu, Kwok-yin Wong, Dangyuan Lei and Yiting Yu from Northwestern ...
Researchers have developed a new class of integrated photonic devices -- 'leaky-wave metasurfaces' -- that convert light initially confined in an optical waveguide to an arbitrary optical pattern in ...
Scientists announce the discovery of slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State ...
Light moving through a tiny silicon structure does not look dramatic. It slips down narrow waveguides etched onto a chip, ...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a class of materials which can be reduced to the monolayer limit by mechanically peeling the layers apart. The weak interlayer attractions, or van der Waals ...
