We demonstrate that the presence of a (gyro) magnetic substrate can produce an analog of electromagnetically induced transparency in Fano-resonant metamolecules. The simplest implementation of such gyromagnetically induced transparency (GIT) in a metasurface, comprised of an array of resonant antenna pairs placed on a gyromagnetic substrate and illuminated by a normally incident electromagnetic...

It is now wellknown that Maxwell equations admit of wavelet-type solutions endowed with arbitrary group-velocities (0 < vg <∞). Some of them, which are rigidly moving and have been called localized solutions, attracted large attention. In particular, much work has been done with regard to the Superluminal localized solutions (SLS), the most interesting of which resulted to be the “X-shaped” one...

In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a three-dimensional metamaterial that can motivate electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) by using circular polarized wave as stimulations. The unit cell consists of a pair of metallic strips printed on both sides of the printed circuit board (PCB), where a conductive cylinder junction is used to connect the metal strips by dril...

We observe asymmetric color filtering under unpolarized incidence in a structured metallic (Ag) film, where the center of an optically thick circular Ag disk surrounded by a step gap appears dark when observed from one side, and bright from the other. The latter situation corresponds to abnormally high optical transmission through the optically thick film. We explain this by a three-step proces...

Optical resonators are structures that utilize wave interference and feedback to confine light in all three dimensions. Depending on the mechanism, can support either standing- or traveling-wave modes. Over years, distinction between these two different types of modes has become so prevalent nowadays it is one main characteristics for classifying optical resonators. Here, we show an intermediat...

We describe an experiment in that generates single photons on demand and measures properties accounted to both particle and wave-like features of light. The measurement is performed by exploiting data that are sampled simultaneously in a single experimental run. INTRODUCTION The wave-particle duality of matter lies at the heart of quantum mechanics. With respect to light, the wave-like behavior...
