A polarization-insensitive graphene-assisted electro-optic modulator is proposed. The orthogonal T-shaped metal slot hybrid plasmonic waveguide allows the polarization-independent propagation of transverse electric field mode and complex mode. By introduction dual-layer graphene on ridge waveguide, modulation depths TE are 0.511 dB/µm 0.502 dB/µm, respectively. 3 dB bandwidth we have proposed a...

We demonstrate the collapse of a continuum of transverse modes in a self-imaging ring resonator that is photorefractively pumped. The resulting localized mode has an arbitrary transverse location. The mode collapse results from placing saturable photorefractive gain and loss media in spatially conjugate resonator planes. The transverse position of the localized mode is unstable under small cavi...

The parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) has drawn considerable research interest [1–12], since it was first reported to support the undistorted propagation of broadband terahertz (THz) pulses. From that time, the transverse-electromagnetic (TEM) mode of the PPWG has been the popular choice for measurements due to its low loss, ease of quasi-optic coupling, and negligible dispersion as a result of t...

Staged crime research has demonstrated the utility of controlling the conduct of lineups as a means of reducing false identifications with little or no apparent decline in the rate of correct identifications by eyewitnesses (e.g., Lindsay & Wells, 1980; Malpass & Devine, 1981a; Wells, 1984). A recent variation in lineup procedure shows that a blank lineup, which includes no suspects, can reduce...

Many applications in beam physics, particularly those concerning transverse beam dynamics, call for an approximate computation of the transverse electric field produced by the charge distribution of the beam, namely the field components in the plane perpendicular to the beam motion. Mathematically, this approximation becomes exact in the limit of an infinitely long charge distribution that is a...

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) manipulation is of vital importance to construct ultracompact integrated micro/nano-optical devices and systems. Here we report the design, fabrication, and characterization of a SPP microcavity with full transverse and longitudinal mode selection and control on the surface of gold film. The designed microcavity supports the fundamental and first-order transver...
