Subwavelength topological edge States in optically resonant dielectric structures.

چکیده
We suggest a novel type of photonic topological edge states in zigzag arrays of dielectric nanoparticles based on optically induced magnetic Mie resonances. We verify our general concept by the proof-of-principle microwave experiments with dielectric spherical particles, and demonstrate, experimentally, the ability to control the subwavelength topologically protected electromagnetic edge modes by changing the polarization of the incident wave.

Resonant terahertz transmission in plasmonic arrays of subwavelength holes
A review of transmission properties of two-dimensional plasmonic structures in the terahertz regime is presented. Resonant terahertz transmission was demonstrated in arrays of subwavelength holes patterned on both metals and semiconductors. The effects of hole shape, hole dimensions, dielectric function of metals, array film thickness, and a dielectric overlayer were investigated by the state-o...
متن کاملLarge enhancement of second-harmonic generation in subwavelength metal-dielectric-metal plasmonic waveguides
Plasmonic waveguides have shown the potential to guide subwavelength optical modes, the so called surface plasmon polaritons, at metal-dielectric interfaces. In particular, a metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) structure supports a subwavelength propagating mode at a wavelength range extending from DC to visible. Thus, such a waveguide could be important in providing an interface between conventional ...
متن کاملTheory of extraordinary optical transmission through subwavelength hole arrays.
We present a fully three-dimensional theoretical study of the extraordinary transmission of light through subwavelength hole arrays in optically thick metal films. Good agreement is obtained with experimental data. An analytical minimal model is also developed, which conclusively shows that the enhancement of transmission is due to tunneling through surface plasmons formed on each metal-dielect...
متن کاملTopological transitions in continuously-deformed photonic crystals
We demonstrate that multiple topological transitions that occur, with high-sensitivity, by continuous change in geometry of a simple 2D dielectric-frame photonic crystal consisting of circular air-holes. These transitions are characterized by the switch between the frequencies of the pand d-orbital Bloch modes encompassing the photonic band gap (PBG). By tuning the radii of the holes and/or the...
متن کاملGain-assisted extraordinary optical transmission through periodic arrays of subwavelength apertures
We theoretically investigate the amplification of extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) phenomena in periodic arrays of subwavelength apertures incorporating gain media. In particular, we consider a realistic structure consisting of an opaque silver film perforated by a periodic array of slits and clad on each side by an optically pumped dielectric thin film containing rhodamine dye molecule...
