College, Cambridge, UK, graduating with a Master of Arts degree in Natural Sciences and a PhD in 1969. He is a professor of theoretical solid state physics at Imperial College London where he was Head of the Department of Physics (1998 - 2001) and Principal of the Faculty of Physical
Sciences (2001 - 2002). John Pendry has made seminal contributions to
surface science, disordered systems and photonics. His most famous work
has introduced a new class of materials, metamaterials, whose electromagnetic properties depend on
their internal structure rather than their chemical constitution. He discovered that a perfect lens manufactured from negatively refracting material would circumvent AbbeÊijs diffraction limit to spatial resolution,
which has stood for more than a century. His most recent innovation of transformation optics gives the
metamaterial specifications required torearrange electromagnetic field configurations at will, by representing the field distortions as a warping of the space in which they exist. In its simplest form the theory
shows how we can direct field lines around a given obstacle and thus provide a cloak of invisibility.
John Pendry’s outstanding contributions have been awarded by many prizes, among which the Dirac
Prize(1996), the Knight Bachelor (2004), the Royal Medal (2006), the Isaac Newton Medal (2013) and
the Kavli Prize (2014).

David R. Smith
Duke University, USA
Translational Metamaterials Research : Taking Metamaterials from the Laboratory to the Marketplace
David R. Smith is currently the James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of
Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Duke University and
Director of the Center for Metamaterial and Integrated Plasmonics. He also
holds the positions of Adjunct Associate Professor in the Physics Department at the University of California, San Diego, and Visiting Professor of
Physics at Imperial College, London. Dr. Smith received his Ph.D. in 1994
in Physics from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Dr. Smith’s research interests include the theory, simulation and characterization of unique electromagnetic
structures, including photonic crystals and metamaterials.
Smith and his colleagues at UCSD demonstrated the first left-handed (or negative index) metamaterial
at microwave frequencies in 2000–a material that had been predicted theoretically more than thirty years
prior by Russian physicist Victor Veselago. No naturally occurring material or compound with a negative
index-of-refraction had ever been reported until this experiment. In 2001, Smith and colleagues followed
up with a second experiment confirming one of Veselago’s key conjectures : the ’reversal’ of Snell’s law.
These two papers–the first published in Physical Review Letters and the second in Science–generated
enormous interest throughout the community in the possibility of metamaterials to extend and augment
the properties of conventional materials. Both papers have now been cited nearly 4,000 times each.

Plenary Session I

09:00 : Plenary talk
Non-Hermitian photonics: PT symmetry and beyond
Demetrios N. Christodoulides
University of Central Florida (USA)
The idea of judiciously utilizing both optical gain and loss has been recently suggested as a means to control
the flow of light. This proposition makes use of some newly developed concepts based on non-Hermiticity and
parity-time (PT) symmetry. By harnessing such notions, recent works indicate that novel synthetic structures
and devices with counter-intuitive properties can be realized – potentially enabling new possibilities in the
field of optics and integrated photonics.
Translational Metamaterials Research: Taking Metamaterials from the Laboratory to the Marketplace
David R. Smith
Duke University (USA)
Coffee Break and Exhibit Inspection
Session 1P1
Poster session I
10:20 - 11:00
P1: Locally Self-uniform Photonic Networks
Steven Sellers1 , Weining Man2 , Marian Florescu1
1
University of Surrey (United Kingdom), 2 San Francisco State University (USA)
Connections between geometry and optical properties help us understand light’s interaction with structured
media. Here we introduce local self-uniformity to explore fundamental physics and unlock advanced optical
control. Local self-uniformity measures the internal spatial similarities of a random network and unites the
set of observed photonic band gap structures. We demonstrate its significance by generating novel band gap
amorphous gyroid networks and we present a naturally-occurring network with amorphous gyroid character
in the butterfly Pseudolycaena marsyas.
16
P2: Designing hyperuniform structures for efficient light harvesting
Georgios Gkantzounis, Marian Florescu
University of Surrey (United Kingdom)
Photonic crystals have been proven very efficient for light manipulation. Lately, this has become even more
efficient by the use of hyperuniform structures, which exhibit much richer Fourier spectra. We discuss a new
approach to the design of hyperuniform structures for explicitly targeting a given Fourier spectrum. We were
able to design large hyperuniform structures of different geometrical types and vanishing contribution to the
radiative Fourier components. Consequently, we observe efficient light absorption in all cases considered.
P3: Two photon luminescence microscopy maps the plasmonic density of state and plasmon propagation in 2D gold crystals
Upkar Kumar1 , Universite Federale de Toulouse Viarbitskaya1 , Aurelien Cuche1 , Gerard Colas des
Francs2 , Rafaelle Mezzenga3 , Christian Girard1 , Alexandre Bouhelier2 , Erik Dujardin1
1
Universite Federale de Toulouse (France), 2 Universite de Bourgogne (France), 3 ETH Zurich (Switzerland)
We report on using two photon luminescence microscopy as an optical imaging technique for probing both
the spatial distribution of Surface Plasmon Local Density of States (SP-LDOS) and the transmission efficiency
inside chemically-grown crystalline gold platelets.
P4: Theory for the diffusion of light polarization in disordered media with short-range structural correlations
Kevin Vynck1 , Romain Pierrat2 , Remi Carminati2
1
Bordeaux University (France), 2 Institut Langevin (France)
We develop a model based on multiple scattering theory to describe the diffusion of light polarization in a disordered medium exhibiting structural correlations. A radiative transfer equation for the polarization-resolved
specific intensity is derived and solved analytically in the diffusion approximation. Our study reveals the intricate relation between light polarization and short-range structural correlations.
P5: Polarization statistics in disordered media:Modelization and measurements
Myriam Zerrad, Ayman Ghabbach, Gabriel Soriano, Quentin Ailloud, Claude Amra
Aix Marseille Universite (France)
A statistical study of polarimetric parameters of the speckle scattered by a disordered media under coherent illumination is presented. A dedicated metrology was developed to measure accurate histograms of the
polarization degree. Recorded data are compared to modelization and structural signatures are extracted to
analyze complex media.
P6: Metasurfaces becoming real: a new class of polarimeters
Anders Pors, Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi
University of Southern Denmark (Denmark)
Based on appropriately designed phase-gradient birefringent metasurfaces, we introduce a new type of compact polarimeter that, unlike conventional approaches, allows one to easily analyze an arbitrary state of light
polarization by conducting simultaneous (i.e., parallel) measurements of the corresponding diffraction intensities. We experimentally demonstrate the functionality of the proposed device at a wavelength of 800nm, while
also addressing extensions of the design concept to in-plane polarimeters and spectrally-resolved measurements.
P7: Extension of standard transfer-matrix method for three-wavemixing for plasmonic structures
Ardi Loot, Vladimir Hizhnyakov
University of Tartu (Estonia)
Fast and accurate modelling of three-wave mixing processes in arbitrary stratified medium has significant
practical and scientific importance. Several attempts to generalize transfer-matrix method (TMM) for nonlinear
interactions have been made, however none suits for easy-to-use modelling of plasmonic structures which
requires oblique angle of incidence, p-polarization and minimal approximations. In this work, an easy-to-use
extension to standard TMM is proposed. The proposed method is used to study the strength of unconventional
plasmonic enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG).
P8: Fano and Induced Transparency in Plasmon Based Optical Sensors
Zouheir Sekkat1 , Shinji Hayashi2
17
1
Mohammed V University (Morocco), 2 Osaka University (Japan)
During the past few years, we have been involved in the study of optical sensors, in particular the plasmonic
sensors, to achieve ultra-high sensitivities. As is well known, the sensitivity of the conventional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on a single layer of Au is not very high because of the broad lineshape
of the resonance. We propose here alternative ways to improve the sensitivity and to achieve extremely high
sensitivities.
P9: Full-spectrum solar light absorbtion and photothermal conversion with Ge-Sn on black silicon

Saulius Juodkazis3

Yokohama National University (Japan), 2 Swinburne University ofTechnology (Australia), 3 Swinburne University of Technology (Australia)
Harvesting entire solar light energy is desired for developing a sustainable energy supply for society. Solar
cells still have unavoidable energy loss due to the heat generation. Also, transparency window for longer
wavelength is not utilised for the photocurrent conversion. Here we demonstrate the photo-thermo-electric
conversion system for the harvesting broad-band solar energy that can not be used in Si solar cell by direct
absorption. Black silicon reducing the reflection of surface, and Ge-Sn layer is absorbing the full spectral
wavelength of solar light.
P10: Hybrid surface plasmon modes in metallic nanostructures: Complete numerical analysis and
application to bio-sensing

Aurore Olivero1 , Gregory Barbillon1 , Bernard Bartenlian1 , Marc Lamy de la Chapelle2 , Michael Canva1

Universite Paris Sud (France), 2 Universite Paris-Nord (France)
We introduce a simple analytical model to predict the existence of all the different plasmonic modes and their
dispersion in a hybrid nano-structured geometry consisting of an array of metallic particles with an underlying
metallic film. Such detailed description of plasmonic modes can offer a complete understanding of the surface
plasmon resonance phenomena in such metallic structures and allows their optimization as per required for
various applications such as SPR detection and SERS.
P11: Enhanced light emission in organic materials caused by constructive surface plasmon generation and scattering

Yoshimasa Sugimoto2

Ritsumeikan University (Japan), 2 Nanotechnology Innovation Center (Japan)
Photoluminescence enhancement observed in Alq3 with Ag was 3-4 at output angles, which could not be
explained by the calculated scattering rate of surface plasmons. Experimental results suggested that surface
plasmons were generated in phase at the same time, and scattered simultaneously. Aggregate behavior of
the energy transfer of excitions to surface plasmons can happen, because excitions inthe organic film exist
mere nanometers apart.
P12: Plasmonic color printing combining conjugate twin phase modulation with plasmonic broadband
absorption
Jiancai Xue, Zhang-Kai Zhou, Xue-Hua Wang
Sun Yat-sen University (China)
Plasmonic color printing has a promising future as a new generation of color printing technology. As for
practical application, the problems of color gamut and production area need to be addressed. Here, we
realize scalable and full-color plasmonic color printing by combining conjugate twin phase modulation with
plasmonic broadband absorption. Furthermore, we develop plasmonic color printing with reversibly colorchanging capability, giving rise to enormous potentials in special label, anti-counterfeiting, and even highdensity data encryption storage.
P13: UV Circular Polarization Selection using Aluminum Nano-Spirals

1
Syracuse University (USA), 2 Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (USA), 3 University of Utah (USA)
Manipulating ultraviolet light presents unique challenges in technology. Here we demonstrate circular polarization selection at ultraviolet wavelengths over subwavelength distances using a flat-optical device consisting
18
of Al chiral nanospirals periodically patterned on a glass substrate.

Toroidal metamaterial on suspended SiN film was fabricated by focused ion beam induced bending technique.
The SiN film plays the role of framework, while the metal patterns on the vertical SiN flakes comprise the
toroidal molecule. Toroidal and magnetic dipole moments can be excited by vertical incident light, which
can be distinguished by the current and magnetic field distribution. Compared to horizontally incidence, the
resonance here has the same frequency but much larger transmission modulation depth.

We proposed a plasmonic perfect absorber (PPA) based on double bowtie shaped plasmonic nanoantenna
arrays operating in mid-infrared regime. We investigated the spectral responses and surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) enhancements of nanostructures by using finite difference time domain (FDTD)
method. We studied refractive index sensing characteristics by embedding nanostructures into different cladding media. Owing to the high SEIRA enhancements and strong absorption peaks, designed PPA can be
utilized in infrared sensing and high refractive index sensing applications.

Extraordinary transmission of light through subwalength holes in a metallic thin film offers potential applications in optoelectronic and sensing devices. Here, we present the optical properties of disordered nanoholes
in optically thick silver thin films - fabricated by a novel technique. The disordered nanoholes exhibit strongly

We investigated high-tranmittance dielectric-metal-ITO multilayer films for developing high-efficiency GaNbase light-emitting diodes using the scattering matrix method. An optically-thick (10-12 nm) metal layer sandwiched by a dielectric layer and an ITO layer yielded a transmittance of 0.94, which surpasses the maximum
transmittance (0.91) of a single ITO film. Further, we investigated the transmission of metal-dielectric films
depending on the refractive index and thickness of the dielectric layer.

Two-dimensional high-index-contrast dielectric gratings exhibit unconventional diffraction features. Here, we
demonstrate monolithic growth templates capable of supporting enhanced outcoupling ability for light-emitting
devices. Rationally-designed high-index-contrast air bubble patterns lead to intensified strength for the low

In this work we have studied lasing characteristics of the array of nanoholes in silver film covered with gain
medium. We have analyzed mode structure of the system with and without pump and determined lasing
frequencies and non-interacting lasing thresholds for all modes. Varying angle and wavelength of pump field,
we have found optimal pump conditions for lasing. Subsequent numerical time domain modeling of laser
generation have showed that predicted values for the first lasing mode threshold are accurate.

Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) and CathodoLuminescence spectroscopy (CL) have become
popular to study the surface plasmon modes of metallic nanoparticles. By combining EELS and CL on single
nanoobjects, we showed that EELS and CL signals differ. Whereas EELS measures a quantity close to the
full ElectroMagnetic Local Density Of States (EMLDOS) projected along the electron trajectory, CL measures
a quantity close to the radiative EMLDOS projected along the electron trajectory.

We use the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method to study the scattering of light at the edge of
a metallic terminated slab. The first result is the generation of a surface plasmon polariton. Additionally,
interference effects between the surface wave and the diffracted fields are observed. We report the formation
of a series of low field intensity spots in the air region above the surface that result from this interference

We study the optical generation and tuning of highly confined DC magnetic fields directly in metals. We first
predict the transfer of orbital angular moment of light to the free electrons of thin metal layers excited with
tightly focused beams (leading to tiny loops of DC current). We also show that plasmonic nano-antennas can
be magnetized by light and we study how the plasmonic resonances in play can enhance and control the
optically induced magnetization.

In this work we study the possibility of SPR emission from non-periodic array structures: we analyze the
necessary conditions for Smith-Purcell emission by arbitrary arrays which present long-range order, with
focus on quasiperiodic and hyperuniform configurations, and compare them with the periodic array case. We
conclude that SPR can appear not only in periodic structures but also in non-periodic structures as well, in
the case the non-periodic structure presents long-range order properties.

Technical University of Denmark (Denmark), 2 University of Twente (The Netherlands)
A nondispersive inhomogeneous dielectric environment of a donor-acceptor pair of quantum emitters affects
their Foerster resonance energy transfer (FRET) rate. We find that this rate does not depend on the emission
frequency and hence not on the local optical density of states (LDOS) at that frequency, but that it can be
expressed as a broad frequency integral over the optical LDOS. Our numerical results illustrate that even with
the broadband LDOS it is hard to control the FRET rate.

We investigate the resonant transmissions surface plasmons that propagate in a metal-insulator-metal (MIM)
waveguide side-coupled to two MIM racetrack resonators in which optical third-order nonlinear material is
filled, by the coupling mode analyses and finite-difference time-domain simulations. We find the multiple bistabilities and the hysteresis phenomena in the transmission coefficient as the input intensity varies. Furthermore, the mode conversion between the bistable states can be controlled by varying the input-gate intensity
with a short switching time.

We consider a new method of light modulation via the magneto-optical effects in magneto-plasmonic crystals.
The modulation of the structure’s magnetization in this case is induced by the electric field of the charged tip.
So, the variations of the voltage on the needle produce the shift of a domain wall in the magnetic film due to
the magnetoelectric effect and local magnetization switching.

This manuscript addresses the upconversion excitation and emission obtained from an Er3+-doped tellurite
glass through nanostructured metallic surfaces consisting of a square lattice of subwavelengh slits fabricated
on a gold thin film. The periodic nanostructures were fabricated with a Focused Gallium Ion Beam on a
gold thin film deposited onto an Er3+-doped tellurite glass. The Er3+ ion was excited using 980nm and the
luminescence spectra measured at the far-field (in the 400-700 nm wavelength range).

Jun Ren, Xiangdong Zhang
Beijing Institute of Technology (China)
The theoretical method to study strong interactions between an ensemble of quantum emitters mediated
by plasmonic nanoparticle cluster has been presented by using a rigorous first-principles electromagnetic
Green’s tensor technique. We find that strong coherent and non-coherent interactions could be observed
in the same plasmonic hot spots system under different frequencies. These two interactions could lead to
multifrequency multi-qubit entanglement and coherent energy transfer between emitters respectively in the
hot spot systems.

The one-dimensional (1D) structures were fabricated by means of the two-beam interference technique. The
surfaces were covered with an aluminum thick film. Transverse magnetic reflection spectra were measured for
metallic gratings. The experimental spectra exhibited a minimum due to the excitation of surface plasmons,
which was coupled by light via the gratings. The experimental results are compared with Rayleigh theory.
P37: Optical spin-orbit interaction in plasmonic structures
Feng Lin
Peking University (China)
Au nanostructures can be fabricated to intentionally guide the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons
(SPPs), which leads to the varying of propagating directions for the SPP beams, and thus generates the
orbital angular momentum (AM) of SPPs. Here, we investigated the coupling of such plasmonic orbital AM
with optical spin AM, and found that the chiral characteristics of Au nanostructures impose great effects on
the electromagnetic modes of SPPs under this spin-orbit interactions.

We investigated theoretically and experimentally the resonance coupling between the magnetic dipole resonances of silicon nanospheres and molecular excitons. By coating the silicon nanosphere with a dye molecule
layer, we demonstrated that hybrid states were induced around the magnetic dipole resonance mode due to
magnetic field mediated Fano-type energy transfer. We further observed a Rabi splitting of 100 meV by spin
coating the silicon nanospheres with J-aggregates (TDBC).

A plasmonic bowtie antenna design is investigated numerically to enhance a broad spectral absorption of
zinc telluride (ZnTe)/zinc oxide (ZnO) core/shell single nanowire intermediate solar cells. Compared to a
single-bowtie antenna, triple-bowtie antennas demonstrate much higher absorption enhancement in multiple
spectra regimes, especially in 680nm, which is corresponding to the intermediate level of ZnTe:O materials.
It provides a promising approach to improve the poor absorption of low-energy photons and improve the
conversion efficiency of single nanowire solar cells.

Two equivalent circuit models to estimate the resonant frequency and reflection coefficient phase of double

square surrounded by a loop printed on grounded dielectric substrate without vias. This approach is based on
the Transmission Line Model for waves normally incident on the structure. The proposed models are validated
via a comparison between measurements and simulations results for different samples and a parametric
study.

We investigate numerically the classical analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency in a plasmonic
structure constituted by two side-coupled cavities. Two configurations are considered: i) cavities connected
symmetrically on each side of the waveguide, ii) cavities situated on the same side. In the first case the EIT
resonance occurs as a consequence of the destructive interference between the two cavities, whereas in the
second situation the phenomenon arises due to coupling between dark and radiative resonators.
P42: Complete Picture of Dispersion Relation for Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Layered Media
H. S. Tetikol, M. I. Aksun

We show that both the wavevector and the frequency of surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) can simultaneously
assume complex values, providing better resolution and confinement than previously thought. As an example,
we analyze SPPs in layered media and ascertain the true nature of their dispersion. We prove that a dispersion
curve constitutes only a subset of the solutions to the dispersion equation, and the entire solution set can be
represented as a surface in the complex frequency-wavevector domain.

Combination of plasmonic and electrochemical pathways in both analytical and technological applications
could provide many advantages arising from the interplay between electrons and photons. Here, we demonstrate how properties of transparent electrochemical electrodes improve with increasing coverage of tungsten
disulfide nanotubes and how decoration of these nanotubes with plasmonic nanoparticles influences the
main parameters of resulting electrodes. Our results are relevant to plasmon-enhanced electrochemistry of
transition-metal dichalcogenides and also to other systems where light interacts with chemical currents.

Using FDTD simulations combined with analytical calculations, the signal acquisition process in aperture
SNOM has been studied. The emphasis was placed on the role of individual electric field components in
the image formation. The results show that although the transmission through the aperture can be tuned to
selectively favor one of these components, the resulting sensitivity is eventually determined by the efficiency
of their coupling to the loss-less guided modes of the tip.

Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in combination with interference structures is a powerful tool
for imaging and analysis of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). In this article we address how the wavelength

Using the SNOM setup equipped with a supercontinuum laser and utilizing numerical simulations, we identified the role of individual near-field components in formation of SNOM images.

University of Mons (Belgium)
Recently, frequency comb generation using modulated planar graphene sheets was introduced. Here we
show that this process is more efficient in a graphene ribbon lattice than in a planar structure. To do so we
exploit the plasmonic resonances of the lattice, which are very sensitive to the graphene doping level. By dynamically changing this doping the transmission becomes time-dependent and allows for effective frequency
comb generation in the infrared range.

The modal analysis of CMOS compatible hybrid plasmonic waveguide in the mid-infrared region (4-6um) using
doped silicon is introduced. Manipulating the design parameters of the waveguide such as the thickness of
the doped silicon layer and the nearby sapphire layers can effectively change the propagation length and
the mode confinement. The simulation results show that a propagation length of 220um can be achieved at

The ODC operates under 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength. A finite difference time domain method
with perfect matching layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition is taken up to simulate and analyze the ODC.

Nanoplasmonics have the ability to confine light in extremely small nano-cavities. We show using a theoretical
model, numerical calculations and measurements that for these tightly-coupled nanoplasmonic structures,
the correlation between the field enhancement (near-field) resonance and the radiative (far-field) resonance
breaks down. This dissociation is determined by the nanocavity’s geometry. The anomalous behaviour of
plasmonic nanocavities is of significant importance for active and quantum plasmonics, where extreme nanocavities are essential to observe strong coupling.

It is shown that symmetry protected topological phases can be engineered in the presence of the electromagnetic duality, which can be achieved by careful meta-atoms design. Synthetic gauge fields induced by
magneto-electric coupling give rise to spin-polarized edge states with linear and conical Dirac dispersion in

The SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) performance of plasmonic colloidal depositions is to a
great extent determined by the distribution of the analyte molecules that attach to the nanoparticles’ surface.
We herein investigate this effect by considering a high-density monolayer of gold nanospheres (GNP’s) and
compare the SERS enhancement yielded by two different models of analyte distribution through full-wave
numerical simulations. These are done with the aid of an accelerated surface integral equation method,
extremely powerful for large-scale electromagnetic problems.

An aperture-type scanning near-field optical microscope was combined with ultrafast measurement system
and achieved delivery of 15-fs optical pulses at the probe tip, which enables direct space-time domain observation of plasmon dynamics in gold nanostructures. With this apparatus, we studied plasmon wave packet

Negative and zero permittivity nanostructure composites have been obtained on a broad frequency domain.
Additionally, it has been found that the effective dielectric constant can be modified by the application of a
magnetic field. At low frequencies, these materials present a close resemblance to plasmonics. Additionally,
effective dielectric losses can be suppressed by the introduction of some passive electric elements. In this

Emmanuel Cottancin
University Lyon 1 (France)
The LSPR and the morphology of individual metallic dimers have been investigated. In cubic dimers, the
30
gap morphology is of crucial importance for very short interparticle distances. Besides the redshift of the
resonance with decreasing interparticle distance, we observed a clear anti-resonance dip in the main dipolar
LSPR which can be viewed as a Fano resonance due to the coupling between the broad dipolar resonance
of the dimer with gap plasmon modes confined in the interparticle zone.

We propose a new class of systems holding PT-symmetry only locally, whereas on a global scale the system
is only Parity symmetric and explore suchnew potentials in one- and two- dimensional complex nanophotonic
structures. Such systems lead to a strong field localization at the P-symmetry center, arising from the merge

We demonstrate organic thin films and waveguides that exhibit passive parity-time (PT) symmetry by modulating their refractive index in the form of a complex exponential function. The resulting films and waveguides
exhibit strong asymmetry in their reflectivity that maximizes when the real and imaginary components of the
index modulation are balanced, marking an exceptional point transition to the broken PT phase. Progress
toward active PT symmetry incorporating laser dyes to achieve balanced gain and loss will be discussed.

Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians that are invariant under combined operations of parity and time-reversal (PT)
faithfully described propagation of light in the presence of balanced gain and loss. Due to the non-unitary
nature of such time evolution, the net intensity of light in such a system is not constant with time. Motivated
by the early attempts to develop a unitary theory for such Hamiltonians, we present conserved quantities in
PT-symmetric systems that are determined by the wave-function or electric field amplitudes and phases.

We analyse theoretically intensity fluctuations of light emitted by two independent single-photon sources in an
arbitrary environment. The theory shows that the interdistance between the sources is encoded in intensity
fluctuations, and provides design rules for the control of the degree of quantum coherence of the emitted light.
In particular, we derive generalized conditions to generate superradiant and subradiant states of the emitters.
These results should find applications in quantum nanophotonics, and in sensing in complex media.

Self-assembling monodisperse colloidal particles has served to random lasers resonant but the scattering

magnetic dipole resonance. The effective magnetic permeability of such an ensemble is negative in a given
fequency range, while the effective dielectric permittivity is possitive and small. Localized magnetic plasmon
resonances can be excited in a metasphere made of such metamaterial.
Polarization singularities on high index nanoparticles
Aitzol Garcia-Etxarri
Donostia International Physics Center (Spain)
We study the emergence of polarization singularities in the scattered fields of optical resonators excited by
linearly polarized plane waves. First, we prove analytically that combinations of isotropic electric and magnetic
dipoles can sustain L surfaces, and C lines. Moreover, we derive the anomalous scattering Kerker conditions
trough singular optics arguments. Secondly, we demonstrate that high refractive index spherical resonators
present such topologically protected featuresand unveil a Mobius strip structure in the main axis of the polarization ellipse.

Scattering by subwavelength dielectric nanospheres can have interesting directional effects in the case of
accomplishing Kerker’s conditions. We have taken advantage of these conditions to design a dimer of semiconductor nanoparticles where an important contrast can be achieved in their gap, due to the directionality
and the interferential interaction of the scattered fields.

Technion (Israel), 2 The Pennsylvania State University (USA)
We show that it is possible to have topological transport in a two-dimensional photonicquasicrystal. Hence,
these lattices have unidirectional edgestates that are topologically protectedagainst backscattering as they
pass through defects or around corners. We find that the fractal-likespectrum of the quasicrystal is endowed
with topological band gaps at all energy scales manifestingan entirely new physics phenomenon. These
new fractal topological aspects lay the groundwork fornew conceptual ideas involving topological phases in
quasicrystals.
Metamaterial structures to realize real-space gauge-field
Fu Liu, Jensen Li
University of Birmingham (United Kingdom)
By using metamaterials to mimic a pseudo gauge field and pseudo magnetic field to bend light, we can
achieve optical spin Hall effect, one-way topological edge states, which will be useful in spin-dependent and
spoof-magneto optics. In this talk, we will discuss the underlying metamaterial structures to realize such a
gauge field. Reduced parameter approximation is established as a useful tool to simplify experiments without
employing magnetic responses.

We propose a method to produce synthetic dimensions in arrays of multi-mode ring-resonators. This method allows one to use d-dimensional arrays of resonators to simulate (d+1)-dimensional lattice models with
synthetic magnetic fields. Applying the method to one-dimensional array of resonators, we show that such a
structure can be used as an optical isolator. Applying the method to three-dimensional lattices of resonators,
we show that the system exhibits the four-dimensional quantum Hall effect.

Weyl Points and Topological Notions in Electromagnetic Waves
Wenjie Chen, Meng Xiao, Wen-Yu He, Z. Q. Zhang, C. T. Chan
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong)
We designed, fabricated and experimentally characterized a Weyl photonic crystal with both single and double Weyl points. Nontrivial 2D bulk band gaps for fixed kz and Weyl points were confirmed by angle-resolved
transmission spectra. The robustness of the associated surface states against kz-preserved scattering was
experimentally observed. In addition, we propose a pseudospin-polarized waveguide without using bulk materials. Wave propagation in the waveguide is robust against deformations that do not induce spin flip, which
were experimentally observed.
Topological effects based on spin-orbit coupling of cavity polaritons
Dmitry Solnyshkov, A. V. Nalitov, G. Malpuech
University Blaise Pascal (France)
We show that the TE-TM splitting of planar cavities leads to a special type of spin-orbit coupling for patterned
cavities. Under an applied magnetic field, polariton graphene behaves as a Z topological insulator with chiral
surface states, which can be evidenced by direct resonant excitation. In zigzag chains of pillar cavities, this
coupling brings about the topological edge states and stable dark-bright solitons, allowing to study the KibbleZurek mechanism in condensation.

The control of energy transfer at the nano- and mesoscales is one of the main goals for the development of
efficient light-harvesting architectures and photonic circuitry. Here, we describe our proposals for the design of
topological edge states in excitonic and polaritonic systems composed of organic materials. We shall discuss
models of porphyrin thin films, molecular crystals coupled to plasmonic metals, and organic dyes in an optical
microcavity, which we believe, can be readily implemented experimentally.

Photonic spin Hall effect in waveguides composed of two kinds of single-negative metamaterials
Z. W. Guo, K. Yu, Haitao Jiang, H. Chen
Tongji University (China)
In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the photonic spin Hall effect in waveguides composed of two
kinds of single-negative metamaterials. We find that a source with a linear polarization couples equally with
the two guided modes oppositely propagating along the interface. However, a circularly rotating source only
couples with one guided mode with a specific propagating direction, which is determined by the rotation
direction of the source.

Surface plasmon model for the radiation enhancement by resonant optical dipole antennas
Haitao Liu1 , Hongwei Jia1 , Ying Zhong2

Nankai University (China), 2 Tianjin University (China)
We report an intuitive model based on a multiple scattering of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that can
comprehensively predict the emission properties of a dipole antenna. The enhancement of the antenna radiation is shown to be due to surface waves that are resonantly excited on the two antenna arms and that are
further coupled into the nano-gap. Both SPPs and other surface waves contribute to the antenna radiation for
the lowest-order resonance while only SPP dominates at higher-order resonances.
Dynamic plasmonic tweezers for nanoparticles and nanowires
Xiujie Dou, Changjun Min, Lichao Zhang, Yuquan Zhang, Xiaocong Yuan
Shenzhen University (China)
The hybrid plasmonic mode between a nanoparticle and a metal film strongly enhances the electromagnetic
field and the induced optical forces. Here, we employ the plasmonic mode to achieve a dynamic plasmonic
tweezers for trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles and nanowires on a flat metal surface. The plasmonic
tweezers can trap metallic, dielectric and semiconductor nano-objects, and control its position and orientation.
Finally we show its potential applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering and lab-on-a-chip nanowire
devices.
Plasmonic and Dielectric Nanoantennas for Integrated Photonic Circuitry
Yuanqing Yang, Jingyi Tian, Hang Zhao, Qiang Li, Min Qiu
Nanoantennas, analogues of microwave and radiowave antennas at optical frequencies, have become a
subject of great interest in recent years. Here we review our recent work on both plasmonic and dielectric
nanoantennas. Different designs such as nanohorns, patch dimers and stair-like configurations are presented. In particular, we discuss how to control and functionalize the far-field radiation characteristics of these
nanoantennas and nanoantenna-quantum-emitter coupled systems. These studies are expected to open new
avenues for integrated photonic circuitry and optical wireless communications.
Quasi-normal mode formalism for the radiation properties of nanoparticles in optical stacks
Kevin Vynck, Remi Faggiani, Jianji Yang, Philippe Lalanne
Bordeaux University (France)
We propose to exploit the concept of quasi-normal modes (QNMs) to predict rapidly and accurately the radiation properties of small resonant nanostructures (e.g. individual nanoparticles, nanoparticle aggregates)
deposited on or embedded in optical stacks. Once the QNMs of a resonant system are (numerically) calculated, the radiation pattern in free space and in the stack guided modes is known analytically for any excitation.
This method opens the route towards a smart design of hybrid nanoparticle/stack systems with new optical
functionalities.

Metastructures with near-zero parameters provide alternative pathways to engineer light- matter interactions.
Here, we emphasize the nonlocal properties of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media by demonstrating that the
characteristics of a large scattering body can be manipulated with a single and small actuator. These and
other examples of the nonlocal features of ENZ media will be discussed in our presentation.
Inherently Nonrecirocal: Nonlinear Metamaterials
Ekaterina Poutrina, Augustine Urbas
Air Force Research Laboratory (USA)
We demonstrate that non-recirocity of nonlinear generation is inherent and realistically observable in the effective nonlinear multipolar response of nanostructures. A careful design of effective hyperpolarizability terms
allows both a non-reciprocal and unidirectional nonlinear generation where the generation direction is preserved with respect to a fixed laboratory coordinate sysem when reversing the direction of the fundamental field.
Alternatively, it can ensure a directionally selectivi inhibition of the nonlinear response for certain respective
directions of teh fundamental beams.

Silver is one of the most commonly used metals for constructing metamaterials working in the visible wavelength range. This is because it has low ohmic losses, associated with small values of imaginary part
of permittivity. In this talk we will demonstrate that due to segregation of germanium atoms to silver grain
boundaries, a smooth silver layer might become a metamaterial itself. This system exhibits such effects as
localised plasmon resonances on encapsulated grains and extraordinary second harmonic generation.
Shape and phase of surface plasmon lasers on active metasurfaces
V. T. Tenner, M. J. A. de Dood, M. P. van Exter

We study surface plasmon lasing in a simple metamaterial with gain, comprising a square metal hole array
on a semiconductor gain layer. These lasers emit radially polarized vector-vortex beams. We study the origin
of these beams by measuring the radiated intensity in both near and far field and reconstructing the phase of
the emission. The reconstructed phase gives valuable information on the distributedfeedback of these lasers
and reveals the origin of the donut shaped laser beams.

to single-antenna building blocks, we look at highly multimode, complex environments where the light field is

We have developed a paradigm to optimize the second-order nonlinear emission in plasmonic nanoantennas.
This approach is based on the design of broken-symmetry plasmonic nanostructures simultaneously displaying multiple resonances at both the excitation and emission wavelengths and spatial overlap between the
local modes involved. We will describe the properties of the nonlinear emission from these structures and
discuss possible implementations of the introduced paradigm to metasurfaces for applications to nonlinear

We report quantitative investigations of the optical response of individual noble metal nano-objects, performed
by coupling linear and nonlinear optical techniques (spatial modulation and time-resolved spectroscopies)
with electron microscopy observations and numerical simulations. These studies reveal in particular how the
surface plasmon resonances of metal nano-objects are affected by deposition on a substrate, nano-object 3D

A simple tight-binding model to study the band-structure of an infinite length Parity-time (PT) symmetric chain
of resonators is presented in this paper. In the talk, we will investigate the impact of having a structure of
finite length and consider the effect of a modulation of the real part of the refractive index on the complete
band-structure of the PT-chain system. For a finite PT-chain structure under certain modulation, we observe
the existence of a localised mode which is either lasing or dissipating.

We introduce the concept of non-Hermitian parity-time (PT) symmetric acoustics. We show that the PT symmetric acoustic structure becomes transparent from one side at the exceptional point with perfect transmission
and zero reflection from one side. We demonstrate a method to obtain simultaneous control of complexvalued potentials and multiple interference inside the structure to accomplish the exceptional point at any
given frequency. Moreover, we propose a mechanism for directional excitation based on impedance matched
PT symmetric potential.

Rings of Exceptional Points
Marin Soljacic

We present our recent work on exceptional points in 2D periodic photonic crystal slabs. Since these are 2D

exceptional points. Its properties and potential applications will be discussed.
15:20 : Origin of folded bands in metamaterial crystals
Peter Markos, Richard Hlubina
Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia)
Spectra of metamaterial photonic crystals may contain frequency bands whichdisappear inside the Brillouin
zone (folded bands). We observe that the wave equations for suchsystems are essentially non-Hermitian,
but PT -symmetric. We show that the real-frequencyspectra correspond to PT -symmetric solutions of the
wave equation. At those momenta in theBrillouin zone where no real solutions exist, there appear pairs of
complex-frequency solutionswith spontaneously broken PT symmetry.

We explore the functionalities of nonuniform Parity-Time -symmetric structures with engineered complexindex-modulation profiles. The use of nonuniform coupling or gain-loss modulation profiles brings a number of
advantages as compared to the uniform PT-symmetric structures. The intention of the undertaken approach is
to show that many conventional techniques previously developed for passive-type grating-assisted or coupledwaveguide devices for integrated optics can be transposed and adapted to a PT-symmetric case, fostering
thus a new generation of active photonic devices.

When impinging on a non-uniform potential landscape, waves typically scatter and diffract, resulting in a highly

defy this common picture by maintaining a constant-intensity even in the presence of strong variations of the
potential, provided that a suitable combination of gain and loss is added to it.

Yale University (USA), 2 ESPCI ParisTech (France)
In recent years, wavefront shaping has become a powerful tool for manipulating the transport of light in
disordered media. We show that long-range correlations in the coherent diffusion allow more control on nonlocal properties than one could in uncorrelated systems. Spatially, moving from controlling a single speckle
grain (local) to controlling a large area (global), the effects of long-range correlations become prominent.
46
Spectrally, long-range correlations reduce the spectral degrees of freedom and enable the broadband control
of light.
Launching optical energy into the fundamental diffusion mode of a complex nanophotonic medium

We demonstrate experimentally that optical wavefront shaping increases light coupling into the fundamental
diffusion mode of a scattering medium. The total energy density inside a scattering medium of zinc oxide
(ZnO) nanoparticles was probed by exciting fluorescent spheres that were randomly positioned in the medium.
We observe that the total fluorescent power is enhanced when the incident wavefront is optimized. Our model,
which is based on the fundamental diffusion eigensolution agrees well with experimental data.

Recently, microscopy in scattering media has been enabled by impressive developments of wavefront shaping

We explore the spatial structure of the energy density of eigenchannels of the transmission matrix within
random media. Using a connection with the generalized diffusion equation, we provide an expression of its
ensemble average for any transmission eigenvalue. We further show that the contribution of each eigenchannel to the density of states can be determined from measurements of spectra of the transmission matrix. This
contribution is equal to the stored energy density in each eigenchannel.

We demonstrate control of transport of light inside disordered waveguides by modifying the transmission
eigenchannels. We obtain a relationship between the shape of the waveguide and the eigenchannel profile
that opens the possibility of inverse design. Our approach allows one to control not only the transmitted but
also reflected and absorbed light.

Nature’s strongest and vivid colours rely on the ability to produce complex and hierarchical photonic structures

found both in the animal and plant kingdoms for producing such effects is the helicoidal multilayers. In such

We study the localized plasmon resonance enhanced magneto-optical effect in the magnetoplasmonic ringsplit ring structure. A split Au ring is generated on top of an Au ring in which a Co-dot has been embedded.
By optimizing the split ring gap, the electromagnetic field is redistributed and focused around the Co-dot, therefore the MO activity boosts and is maximized for structure with a gap of 60deg, exhibiting an enhancement
factor of 3 compared to the one without gap.

Spin-rotation coupling limits the quality factor of a nanoresonator and generates non-trivial quantum mechanics of molecules grafted on carbon nanotubes. Problems of practical interest include switching of the

Surface magneto-elastic waves (SMEW) are polaritons consisting of the coupled surface acoustic waves
(SAW) and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) precession. In nickel thin films the magneto-elastic nonreciprocity manifests itself in the dependence of SMEW phase velocity on the direction of the in-plane magnetic
external magnetic field. A simplified analytical approach, where FMR-resonance is driven by a standing SAW
provides a complimentary view on the nonreciprocity and is applied to describe symmetry breaking observed
in ultrafast transient grating experiments.

The most common application have been band-edge lasers, which can be obtained by tuning a band-edge
mode to the emission wavelength of gain material. In this talk, we present a new approach in utilizing bandedge modes, where a band-edge mode is tuned to excitation wavelength. By properly designing the photonic
crystal structure, we could obtain a large enhancement in optical absorption and therefore subsequent fluorescence, which is particularly suitable for phosphor applications.

Here, we will present on the first visualization of propagating graphene plasmons (GPs) at THz frequencies,
which can also be controlled by metallic (split) gates. Intriguingly, due to the coupling of GPs with the metal

which comes along with an extreme confinement of the plasmon fields. These extraordinary GPs properties
are very promising for sensing and communication technologies.

This work aims at the study of antenna-driven near-field dichroism of a sub-10 nm epoxy-based azo-polymer
thin film. Orientation mechanisms of azo-chromophores (DO3) covalently attached to a polymer backbone
as a side-chain are spectroscopically and electrically explored with tip-enhanced Raman scattering and differential scanning capacity microscopy, respectively. Photo-induced heating of a substrate-free polymer film
and its glassy temperature is investigated with scanning thermal microscopy. Nanoscale dichroism of the
azopolymers opens the door to improved optical data storage performance.

We introduce a new method for performing ultrafast imaging and tracking of surface plasmon wave packets
that propagate on metal films. We demonstrate the efficiency of leakage radiation microscopy implemented
in the time domain for measuring both group and phase velocities of near-field pulses with a high level of

Efficient control of carefully designed nanostructure has been achieved recently, but fabrication and accessibility of the modes addressed from the far-field still represent open challenges. But disorder can be turned into
an advantage to control light propagation. We propose a new experimental scheme where plasmonics modes
on random metal-dielectric networks are tuned by wavefront shaping which allows to extract information about
the extension of the modes and also far field control of hot-spots.

Silver nanocube monolayers deposited on polymer films were heated past the glass transition temperature of
the polymer. Surface interactions between the cubes and substrate dictate the depth and rate of incorporation
into the polymer. Silver nanocubes support hybrid plasmonic modes that are spatially separated when there
is anisotropy in the local refractive index. Using this measure, it becomes possible to monitor the position of
the cubes relative to the surface and tune spectral features in the visible spectrum.

When placed near a thin metallic film, excitons in a quantum dot (QD) decay into surface plasmon polaritons
(SPPs), guided modes of light confined at the interface of the metal/dielectric. It was reported that the interaction of SPPs with excitons in a QD may give rise to a modification in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra

These can be tracked via surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing. Weshow that the commonly-employed
incoherent detection scheme (locating the intensity centroidafter Gaussian illumination) is only 86percent

Dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguides are perfectly suitable for on-chip sensingof fluids. They allow long
propagation length and large mode overlaps above 96percent with a the analyte. Dielectric-loading is a alternative approach to increase the confinement of mid-infrared surface plasmons without the need for subwavelength patterning. Direct excitation and detection is realized using chip integrated quantum cascade

Spoof surface-plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) mimic the metal-dielectric confinement that occurs naturally at
near-infrared and optical frequencies by including grooves in the metallic material. If the dispersion relation
is known, then SSPP properties can be manipulated by the groove geometry. This contribution presents a
theoretical procedure linking waveguide theory with the interfacial boundary conditions. As an example, we
apply this method to SSPPs based on radial grooves, which show a higher degree of tunability than those

The near-field optical response of highly pure single-crystal gold gap nanoantennas was analyzed by means
of near-field aperture probes. Due to the interference phenomena occurring in the near field of the nanoantennas, both the complex response of the dipolar oscillator associated with the plasmon resonance could be

achieve various reconfigurable center frequencies at 1.60 GHz, 1.91 GHz, 2.41 GHz, 3.26 GHz, 2.87 GHz,
5.21 GHz, and 5.54 GHz.

A double layer structure consisting of a Metamaterial (MTM) absorber and an artificial magnetic conductor
(AMC) reflector is presented in this report. An FR4 substrate was used and the incidental wave angles were
varied from 0o to 85o. A peak absorption of 99.99 percent was achieved at 10.7GHz by the absorber for both
TE and TM polarization incident waves. On the other side close to 80 percent peak reflection was achieved
at same frequency (10.7GHz) by the AMC reflector.

Electromagnetic modeling of periodically-structured, fiber-reinforced laminateswith some fibers missing is
investigated, this applying as well to similarly disorganized photoniccrystals. Parallel fibers are periodically
positioned in a layer between two half-spaces. Absentfibers destroy the periodicity. The supercell concept involving an auxiliary periodic structureand first-order approximations calling for the Green function of the sound

We report the experimental investigation and theoretical modeling of a rotating polariton superfluid. Four
coherent lasers arranged in a square resonantly create four polariton populations propagating inwards. Controlling their direction allows injecting optical angular momentum. In the linear regime, optical singularities are
60

the number of vortices inside the superfluid region can be controlled by controlling the angular momentum
injected by the pumps.

Using well-known hyperbolic multilayer metamaterials, we show a new and very simple design of deeply

Structured plasmonic mematerials offer a new way to design functionalized optical and electrical components.
Here, we theoretically investigated the electrical active split ring resonators based on graphene metamaterials.
Fano resonance and quadrupole resonance are excited at the crossed directions of electric polarization. Such

Owing to their overlap in energy/momentum space plasmons in photoexcited graphene can become amplified or spontaneously emitted by decay of electron/hole excitations. Based on Boltzmann equations for
the carrier, plasmon and phonon populations we investigate the nonequilibrium relaxation dynamics after
femtosecond excitation and show that plasmon emission drives the decay of population inversion on 100-fs

Accurate control over the position of nanoparticles is of great interest in future nanotechnology applications.
However, exact control over the position of sub 2 nm particles is particularly difficult and faces many challenges. In this work we propose a novel and electrically controllable method to overcome this challenge by
taking advantage of the Dirac plasmons in a graphene sheet to create tunable optical potentials and study
the propgation of nanoparticles in this system using Langevin dynamics.

Hybrid Graphene Metasurfaces to Control Electromagnetic Radiation
Christos Argyropoulos
University of Nebraska-Lincoln (USA)
Graphene cannot efficiently interact with light due to its extremely thin nature. We will demonstrate ways to
hybridize graphene with all-dielectric metasurfaces in order to increase the coupling between the far-field
radiation and graphene. In addition, we will introduce metasurfaces with resonating elements made only of
graphene, designed based on the appropriate patterning of the graphene monolayer’s shape. The proposed
hybrid graphene metasurfaces can lead to the design of electro-optical modulators and THz non-reciprocal
devices, operating as magnetic-free isolators.

may offer significantly enhanced sensitivity compared to conventional passive RF sensors. The proposed

track particle motion and measure the correlations in position fluctuations. The particle dynamics can be
explained by considering the normal modes of a system of masses connected by linear springs and subject

path. In spite of the general applicability of this result, no observation of this invariance has been reported

Plasmonic nanostructures act as optical nanoantennas with shape- and size-dependent plasmon resonances.
By positioning individual nano-emitters in the high near-field regions of such antennas, the emitter properties
can be strongly modified. Techniques for the self-aligned fabrication of individual hybrid antenna-emitterstructures are demonstrated, and the optical characteristics of single or few semiconductor quantum dots

We demonstrate that the singular colored effects of laser induced self-organized metallic nanoparticle gratings
embedded in a high index film result from the excitation of Fano-like resonances. The latter originate from
the coupling of the localized surface plasmon mode of metallic nanoparticles and a waveguide mode. They
create strongly asymmetric spectral absorber whose color in reflection can be tuned differently on both sides

handling any photonic or plasmonic nanoresonator. We have used the modal formalism to analyze the mechanisms of spontaneous emission in plasmonic nanoantennas and to unravel the interplay between the

We propose a simple theoretical model that analytically describes spatiotemporal transformations of a threedimensional optical pulse diffracted on a phase-shifted Bragg grating (PSBG). The diffraction of the pulse is
described in terms of a linear system with pulse’s transformations determined by the system’s transfer function

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagation in graphene sheet array (GSA) consisting of periodic arrays

the incident field has a few selected periods. Bloch oscillations can also be observed in GSAs as the chemical

we demonstrate the SPP beam routing effects in the GSAs.

into complex coordinates using the phase integral method. We then consider a family of disordered media
constructed using this method, showing that the real and imaginary parts of the permittivity can separately
exhibit random fluctuations, but if they are connected via a spatial Hilbert transform, the transmission remains
unity.

Coupled electromagnetic fields and charge densities oscillating at optical frequencies along a metal interface

We present our recent results on femtosecond laser-assisted reconfiguration of all-dielectric and hybrid nanoantennae and metasurfaces. In particular, we propose a novel concept for ultrafast manipulation by scattering properties of an individual silicon nanoantenna with a magnetic dipole resonance by means of generation
of electron-hole plasma. In turn, all-optical precise reconfiguration of a hybrid Au/Si nanoantenna was achieved via selective laser-induced reshaping of a golden part, matching its electric resonance with magnetic and
electric resonances of a silicon part.

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have recently found numerous applications in photonics, but traditional

We show that the incident light can be near-completely reflected in the -1th diffraction order in a planar thin

for a wide-angle, broadband regime and a large modulation range of the grating period, allowing for a highperformance wavefront-shaping approach based on binary holography techniques. Our findings provide a

to probe the local photonic environment of the emitters. Further, a proper design of the photonic structure
allows us to optimize intensity, directionality and polarization of the coating’s emission.

A recent interest in UV-plasmonics has appeared due to its increasing potential in many applications ranging
from biology, spectroscopy or engineering. Magnesium, Aluminum and Gallium have been pointed out as
promising materials for this purpose. However, these metals form an oxide layer, several nanometers thick,
that may affect the formation of localized plasmons. In this work we analyze how the oxide shell thickness
affect the plasmonic performance of nanostructures made from these metals.

Elham Karami Keshmarzi, R. Niall Tait, Pierre Berini
Carleton University (Canada)
Parity Time (PT) Symmetric Bragg gratings operating with long-rane surface plasmons are investigated in the
near-infrared. It is shown that at the threshold for PT symmetry breaking, there is unidirectional reflectance
and dispersion-less group delay in transmittance. Optical gain provided by optically-pumped IR-140 is balanced with optical loss in this structure to access PT symmetric operation. The fabrication of PT symmetric
gratings is discussed and preliminary measurements are presented.

Andrey A. Sukhorukov

We present an overview of results on the effects of spatial and temporal modulations in coupled waveguides

In our experimental work, we create a Parity-Time (PT) symmetric material by coupling two fiber loops of
different length. Applying an additional external phase gradient to the system leads to Bloch oscillations,
which show the intriguing behavior of exceptional points as well as the existence of phase gradients, for which
a pseudo-Hermitian propagation is reestablished. Furthermore, we experimentally investigate the nonlinear
regime and the formation of PT solitons.

We have realized parity-time symmetry in a coupled active-passive microcavity system with balanced gain
and loss. On-chip nonreciprocal light transmission and circulation due to gain-saturaton nonlinearity are experimentally demonstrated in coupled active-passive, as well as in single active high-Q, microcavity systems.
There are certain advantages by using a single active microcavity with gain saturation for achieving nonreciprocal light transmission and circulation, such as simplicity in the structure, easy to control, low insertion loss
and supperior isolation performance.
18:00 : Side-coupled resonators with parity-time symmetry for broadband unidirectional invisibility
Nicolas Rivolta, Bjorn Maes
We analyze the scattering properties of PT-structures made of a waveguide and a finite chain of side-coupled
resonators. Typical 1D PT-structures exhibit unidirectional invisibility (also called anisotropic transmission resonances), meaning unit-transmission and zero-reflection for incidence from one direction. The side-coupled
71
nature of our structure provides different features than the traditional tight-binding chain, which we explore
rigorously. For example, we can achieve a broadband unidirectional invisibility with only two resonators, and
we observe rich dispersions for ATRs with four resonators.

linear PT-symmetric dimer and planar three-waveguide coupler, where directional coupling and conversion of
amplitude to phase modulation can be demonstrated.

We study transport properties of a periodic 1D array of bi-layers focusing on theunidirectional refectivity that
emerges as a result of the balanced losses/gains incorporated into the arrays. Our analysis is based on the
transfer matrix method according to which we derive analytical expressions for both spectral and transport
characteristics of the model. We have unexpectedly found that the PT-symmetric transport can emerge even
when the system itself is not PT-symmetric.

Despite the large exciton binding energy, mono- and few-layer transistion metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs)
show strong photocurrents and photovoltaic effect. We report on the exciton dissociation into charges on
the sub-ps scale and subsequent charge trapping in different TMDCs. An in-plane electric field further enhances the yield of exciton dissociation. Additionally, TMDCs show a strong Stark effect of unusual origin

By combining linear and nonlinear spectroscopic methods, we study the optical response of size-selected
metal clusters supported on oxide materials. Such experiments could not be performed in the past due to
extremely high sensitivities that are required to investigate truly monodispersed size-selected cluster samples
with surface coverages as low as 0.1percent of a monolayer. Our results on silver clusters indicate a general

controlling the coupling of light into such structures.
Plasmon-Mediated Nonlinear Optical-Detected Circular Dichroism
Kenneth L. Knappenberger, Jeremy W. Jarrett
Florida State University (USA)
We present nonlinear circular dichroism responses from colloidal metal nanoparticle assemblies. A pair of
orthogonally polarized, phase-locked, temporally delayed laser pulses were used to create the excitation
polarization state for circular dichroism (CD) microscopy. Analysis of the emission properties suggested that
the CD responses were determined by properties of the one-photon-resonant mode excited by the laser.
The methods used to generate phase-locked pulse sequences that modulate the excitation polarization are
expected to simplify polarization-resolved microscopy.

Thiolate-protected gold clusters have become an intensely studied area of research in nanochemistry. Bridging the gap between true molecules and the metallic state, this class of compounds is characterized by
highly size-dependent properties. Little is known about their nonlinear optical properties. We describe initial
results on the first hyperpolarizabilities of a series of thiolate-protected gold clusters, supported by density

We discuss plasmonic excitations in thin slabs of topological insulators. These structures can be ideally
modeled as a double layer of Dirac electrons and we point out that the plasmonic modes usually depend on
the sample thickness - only for very small wave numbers, the universal Dirac dispersion is recovered. In order
to explain recent experiments, we propose to also consider the influence of the Schrödinger-like depletion
layer underneath the two Dirac systems.

Novel Photonic Devices with Spatiotemporally Engineered Metasurfaces

Metasurfaces have expanded the ability of planar control over photonic momentum, angular-momentum
and/or spin states, through locally controlled phase and/or polarization, enabling a novel family of ultrathin
flat devices. Another class of time-varying metasurfaces opens up a new horizon of light control based on
space-time duality of wave equations. Temporally-engineered metasurfaces break Lorentz-reciprocity paving
the way for developing magnetic-free optical isolators. Furthermore, they induce a wavelength-shift that could

compensate for Doppler-shift and render a velocity cloak for moving objects.

The observed wave transmission with negative group velocity in anomalous dispersion frequency regions
implies the possibility to compensate for the wave packet distortion by a properly designed anomalously

waveguide layer modifes the electromagnetic mode structure and results in a high circular polarization degree
of the quantum dot emission in the absence ofexternal magnetic eld.

Beam Modeling in the Context of Nanoplasmonics
S. Lanteri, C. Scheid, Nikolai Schmitt, J. Viquerat
Universtity of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (France)
We present recent advancements of the development of our DGTD solvers for computational nanophotonics,
particularly for metallic nanostructures irradiated by laser pulses or electron beams. By this means, we firstly
discuss the numerical treatment of a nonlocal dispersion model for the electron gas which is necessary for
structures in the regime of 2 nm to 25 nm. Subsequently, we deal with the modeling of electron beams in 3D
simulations for e.g. electron energy loss spectroscopy or cathodoluminescence.
18:25 : Microwave Permeability of Hollow Iron Spheres
Conor John McKeever, Mustafa Aziz, Feodor Ogrin
Carbonyl iron composites comprised of particles which possess an alternating concentric geometry of iron
and insulating iron carbide exhibit large permeability in the microwave region. However, predicting the microwave behaviour of such composites has proved challenging due to a limited understanding of the underlying
physics governing the particles. We report on micromagnetic computations showing several intensive peaks
as high as 25 GHz in the permeability spectrum of hollow iron spheres when excited from their minimum
energy state.

In this talk we describe the design, analysis and experimental realisation of diffractive elements containing
ordered sets of multi-pinhole spirals capable of the generation and selection of vortex beams. The elements
are inspired by naturally occurring designs found in the plant and animal kingdoms much of which are rooted

Pu Zhang
The University of Manchester (United Kingdom)
Lattice materials with periodic microstructures are the most popular metamaterials such as phononic/photonic
crystals and auxetic materials. A fundamental property of these periodic metamaterials is their symmetry,
which will inevitably affect their physical behaviors. This work aims at establishing a mathematical framework
to analyze the point group symmetry of such kind of metamaterials. In addition, the symmetry breaking is also
studied for reconfigurable metamaterials, which has potential application in designing tunable metamaterials.

Optical forces on exotic materials
Stephen Barnett
University of Glasgow (United Kingdom)
Light has mechanical properties and it can transfer these to the material bodies with which it interacts. Radiation pressure and dipole forces on dielectrics are familiar, but this talk will concentrate on the subtleties that
appear with more exotic objects including magneto-dielectrics, negative-index materials and chiral molecules.
Transformation optics, surface plasmons, and metasurfaces
John B. Pendry
Metallic surfaces support surface plasmon excitations whose properties are intimately connected to the surface geometry. For example a flat silver surface is an excellent mirror, but the same material with a rough
surface is black, reflecting hardly any light. Here we use transformation optics to relate many complex surface
structures to a single mother structure. In this way we can classify the spectra of these complex surfaces.
Examples will be given of singular structures that harvest light, electron energy loss, van der Waals forces
and other properties that are related to the surface plasmon spectrum.
Near-Zero Photonics
Nader Engheta
University of Pennsylvania (USA)
In this talk, I will present an overview of our ongoing efforts in exploring various aspects of light-matter interaction in platforms and structures with effective near-zero parameters. We have found exciting phenomena in
classical and quantum aspects of wave interaction with such media that may show new roads towards novel
devices with unprecedented functionalities, and fundamental features in quantum optics and wave physics. I
will discuss some of our most recent results and forecast future directions and potentials.

that serves as the electrochemical working electrode and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate, microfabricated counter electrode, and reference electrode. The system has the merits of wide range of
target molecules, small sample volume, and low detection limit.

graphene conductivity is taken to be constant with positive imaginary part. Therefore, we studied the possible
propagation of Transverse Magnetic (TM) surface plasmon (SP) in terahertz range of frequency. The effective

In this paper we propose a finite element time-domain (FETD) method for modeling the optical black holes
(OBHs) in metamaterials. Stability analysis is carried out for the proposed scheme. Simulations of cylindrical,
elliptical and square black holes demonstrate that our method is quite effective in modeling OBHs in time

We theoretically propose optical diode design based on unidirectional state exchange. The proposed device consists of an index-modulated waveguide coupler in which the index profile is designed to encircle an
exceptional point. Nonreciprocal transmission occurs as a result of inevitable non-adiabatic transition and unidirectional gain saturation. We explain the essential mechanism with non-Hermitian Hamiltonian formalism
and numerically demonstrate 20 dB extinction ratio with experimentally presumable settings.

Zhanna Dombrovskaya, Anton Zhuravlev
Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia)
The polarizabilities of subwave spherical silica glass particles are investigated with taking material dispersion into account. It is shown that the ranges of negative values for electric and magnetic polarizabilities are
practically coinciding. This permits to use such particles for constructing DNG medium. A method for simultaneously calculating the effective thickness and the effective refractive index of the metafilm is proposed.

are designed using a square patch with a removed-circle shape. A diamond slit is placed at the removed
area and connected to the square patch with thin copper bridges. The proposed structure achieves widest
bandwidth which is 13.11 percent between 8.34 and 9.51 GHz. For oblique incident angles, the operating
angle for wideband operation is limited to 20o for both TE and TM polarizations.

of the magnetostatic field. As a result, we obtain the modified Clausius-Mossotti relation for the metamaterial
bordering a metal.

Daniel Timbrell, Nicolae Coriolan Panoiu
University College London (United Kingdom)
We present an all-dielectric metamaterial with a pronounced nonlinear electromagnetic field due to a strong
toroidal dipole. A unit cell consisting of 4 GaAs cuboids is excited with a plane wave, causing the displacement
currents of each component to couple, forming a toroidal moment. The power radiated by the dipoles is
84
calculated at the fundamental frequency and secondharmonic. The engendered toroidal dipole is shown to
be the primary origin of the second harmonic signal, which is magnetic in nature.

Yuichi Nakamura, Ryosuke Isogai, Hiroyuki Takagi, Taichi Goto, Pang Boey Lim, Mitsuteru Inoue
Toyohashi University of Technology (Japan)
Magnetic volumetric hologram is recorded as magnetization directions through thermomagnetic recording.
To achieve bright reconstruction image, the use of magnetophotonic microcavity (MPM) for recording media
is effective to achieve high diffraction efficiency through the enhancement of Faraday rotation angle and
fringe depth. In this study, we demonstrated the effectiveness of MPM media to achieve bright reconstruction
image. In addition we also propose the MPM with heat-sink layers for retaining well-defined magnetic fringes
that results much high diffraction efficiency.
P19: Full-k-space flat bands in photonic crystals beyond the tight-binding picture
ChangQing Xu, Yun Lai
Soochow University (China)
Based on a band engineering method, we propose a theoretical prescription to create a full-k space flat band
in dielectric photonic crystals covering the whole Brillouin Zone. With wave functions distributed in air instead
of in the dielectrics, such a flat band represents a unique mechanism for achieving flat dispersions beyond
the tight-binding picture, which can enormously reduce the requirement of permittivity contrast in the system.
Finally, we demonstrate a unique application based on the full-k-space coverage of the flat band.

Martin Timusk, Andris Sutka, Maris Knite
Riga Technical University (Latvia)
We describe a novel electro-optical behavior of colloidal suspensions of doped ZnO nanowires (NWs). We
show that suspension of doped, visible light absorbing ZnO NWs in optically transparent and low dielectric
permittivity medium responds to electrostatic charges on the outer walls of the dispersion-containing glass vial
and transition from chaotic to partially ordered state occurs. As a consequence of this negentropic transition
strong visually perceptible variation of optical properties occurs in the form of color brightness change.
P23: Plasmonic Sensing Below the Quantum Noise Limit with Intensity Squeezed Light
Benjamin Lawrie, Raphael Pooser
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA)
Surface plasmon resonance sensors have found widespread application for biochemical sensing, but they
are increasingly limited by the quantum statistics of light. Replacing the classical laser readout with intensity
squeezed states allows for either a 2.5 dB reduction of the noise floor or a 5 dB increase in signal amplitude,
enabling detection of trace signatures previously buried in quantum noise.

A top-down fabrication technology will be presented to realize gold nanoparticle assemblies with precise
size and position for nanoplasmonics applications. The fabrication technology is based on conventional highprecision micromachining to form nanotemplate surfaces, and new deterministic template-guided thermal
dewetting to form crystalline nanoparticle assemblies with high precision. High-precision deterministic thermal
dewetting is accomplished with isolated nanotemplates to realize precise volumes of gold with nanometerscale separations. The nanoparticle assemblies are formed with precise position and sub-10 nm nanogaps.
P25: Q-factor Tuning of Gold Nanoresonators by Thermal Annealing
Naoto Oonishi, Yusuke Niimura, Kyohei Okubo, Edwin Carlen
University of Tsukuba (Japan)
Nanoplasmonic resonators generate large electric fields by concentrating optical energy on metal nanostructures, however, the field enhancement is limited due to energy losses at optical frequencies, which is
quantified by the resonance quality-factor. The quality-factor of gold nanoplasmonic resonators is limited to Q
= 20 due to intrinsic material and extrinsic nanostructure properties. We use post-deposition annealing at low
temperatures to activate grain growth and to reduce surface roughness. The quality-factor can be increased
and resonance energy fine-tuned.
P26: Fine tuning of submicron pattern dimensions in Displacement Talbot Lithography
Emmanuel Damien Le Boulbar, Philip Adam‘ Shields

We report the lithography of submicron hexagonal and linear grating patterns using the new lithography
technique of Displacement Talbot Lithography. The filling factor was accurately controlled, from 8percent
to 17percent, by varying the exposure dose. For a 600 nm pitch hexagonal pattern, we report a standard
deviation of 3 nm on the average 208 nm hole diameter for an exposure dose of 35 mJ/cm2. High-aspect ratio
resist patterns (>3.5) were achieved for a linear grating with a period of 400nm.

structure containing stack of positive-index material (PIM) and third-order nonlinear negative-index material (NIM) layers. We found that the generated third-harmonic pulse amplitudes in forward- and backwarddirections from PIM/NIM periodic structure can be enhanced due to backward phase matching technique and
band-edge field enhancement.

In this study, the coupling effects between three dimensional split ring resonators (SRRs) were presented by
changing the inter distance of SRRs. The transmission spectra revealed that the transmission amplitudes and
the resonance frequencies were increased with deceasing the inter distance of the SRRs. The simulations
were evidentially retrieved as well. We conclude that the electric field strength inside the SRR dominated the
couplings between the SRRs.

Utilization of surface plasmons has drastically increased the performance of Photodevices due to increased
light matter interactions. Recently, we have reported circular micro-hole patterned on gold thin layer. It exhibited extraordinary transmission in the visible range. Radiative surface plasmons couple incident waves at the
transmitting edges of the microhole aperture, results in extraordinary transmission. In this report, using FDTD
method, we comparatively studied the focusing abilities of square shaped micro hole and circular microhole.

Perfect broadband absorbers based on metal-insulator-metal resonators using refractory materials (tungsten
and alumina) are reported for energy harvesting/conversion applications. The absorption efficiency is higher
than 90percent over a broad spectral region with a maximum of 98percent around 500 nm. Omnidirectional

In this work we analyze the sensitivity of the directional scattering conditions in semiconductor nanodisks with
the polarization of the incident light. The possibility to reach or not this directional scattering as a function
of the polarization of the incident beam could be very interesting for the design of new all-optical devices for
optical communications and computing.

Li-Yang Zheng, Vincent Tournat, Georgios Theocharis, Vitalyi Gusev
The edge states in a semi-infinite mechanical granular graphene with the zigzag and armchair edge configurations are investigated. The dispersion curves of edge states are theoretically derived and numerically
analyzed in detail. We also study the quasi-flat edge modes when the torsional or/and bending rigidities are
weak. These quasi-flat dispersion curves, supporting the propagation of waves with extremely slow group
velocity, tend to be perfect zero-frequency modes for zero torsional rigidity or vanish for zero bending rigidity.

Single-Particle Absorption Spectroscopy of Plasmonic Nanostructures
Stephan Link
Single-particle absorption spectroscopy on strongly scattering plasmonic nanoparticles is investigated by
photothermal microscopy with a supercontinuum laser. The absorption spectra are compared to scattering
spectra of the same individual gold nanoparticles and correlated with electron microscopy images that characterize the size and shape of the nanostructures. For many applications of plasmonic nanostructures, absorption and scattering cross sections and lineshapes are important to distinguish, possible with single-particle
spectroscopy that also removes nanoparticle heterogeneity.
Plasmonics of Dielectric-Metallic Hybrid Nanostructures
Huanjun Chen, Hao Wang, Zhang-Kai Zhou
Hybrid nanostructures composed of dielectric and metallic components can exhibit intriguing plasmonic properties, which can be utilized for tailoring and enhancing various light-matter interactions. Two recent progresses of our study will be presented. We will first show that Au-silicon nanosphere dimers can exhibit strong
unidirectional light scattering behaviors in the visible range. Secondly, we will demonstrate the nonlinear
optical properties of hybrid dielectric and plasmonic nanostructure arrays, which can further be utilized for
enhancing the photocurrent generation of semiconductors.
Ultrafast hot electrons spice up localized plasmons
Bruno Palpant, T. Labouret, J. F. Audibert, R. Pansu
Ultrashort light pulses absorbed by plasmonic nanostructures are not only able to transiently modulate their
optical properties, but can also lead to the production of a nanoscale plasma, which in the enhanced local
electromagnetic field may generate reactive oxygen species in water over a large area, opening interesting
outlooks for photodynamic therapy. We demonstrate this process on single gold nanorods by fluorescence
imaging and explain the mechanisms involved by an appropriate theoretical model.

Label-free and real time far-field super-resolution imaging (hyperlensing) at the nanoscale is of significant
interest where sub-wavelength imaging remains a constraint because of Abbe’s diffraction limit. Though by
utilizing anisotropic permittivities, metal-dielectric multilayers have been successful in reconstructing the highfrequency components from sub-wavelength objects, yet they remain cumbersome and expensive to make.
Tunable Light-matter Interaction With Quantum Spillover and Super-radiance in Two Dimensional Molecular Aggregates
Nicholas X. Fang
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA)
In this talk I will report our recent efforts on controlling light absorption and emission process through quantum effects in sub-20nm scale coatings. For example, we experimentally demonstrated strong absorption in
91
the visible spectrum by thin oxides less than 20nm of thickness assisted by silver films. We found such a
broadband light absorption below the bandgap of the oxide is a manifestation of quantum electron tunneling
that penetrate into the thin oxide layer, and it is controlled by the static dielectric constant of the oxide instead
of dopant. We also found a dominant fluorescent decay channel in a two-dimensional molecular aggregate as
a result of the strong and coherent dipole-dipole interaction mediated by a metallic substrate. This unique mechanism leads to an ultrafast fluorescent decay and ten-times greater energy dissipation rate than expected.
I will also discuss application of these nanostructure for efficient light harvesting and controllable emission,
with potential impact in high resolution mid-IR spectroscopy and imaging.

Microcavity polaritons: fundamental physics and devices
Benoit Deveaud
Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Switzerland)
Polaritons are half-light half matter quasiparticles resulting from the strong coupling of photons confined in a
microcavity with excitons confined in a quantum well. Polariton condensates may be created both spontaneously through a standard phase transition towards a Bose Einstein condensate, or be resonantly driven with a
well-defined initial phase, speed and spatial distribution. We review here their main properties.

We report on the realization of a novel spin-selective spatial filter mediated by propagating exciton-polariton
condensate bullets in a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor microcavity. We also show that, under
circularly polarized, continuous-wave, non-resonant excitation, spin textures whose phase depends on the
emission energy are formed.
Exciton-polariton condensates in non-Hermitian potentials
Elena Ostrovskaya
The Australian National University (Australia)
Spatial shaping of an optical pump has been long recognized as a versatile tool for controlling and directing
the flow of condensed microcavity polaritons. An off-resonant, incoherent optical pump creates both excitonpolaritons and an effective non-Hermitian trapping potential. We show that optically induced potentials enable
exploration of non-Hermitian quantum physics with microcavity polaritons. In particular, we demonstrate, both
experimentally and theoretically, non-trivial mode selection in tailored potentials, observation of exceptional
points, and visualization of the topological Berry phase.

Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium), 2 University of Trento (Italy)
We present a theoretical analysis of the instability of polariton condensates. When the repulsive interactions
92
between polaritons and reservoir excitons are sufficiently strong, the effective polariton-polariton interaction
becomes attractive. For lossless bose gases this instability leads to the formation of bright solitons. With gain
and losses present, a chaotic steady state arises. We discuss the different regimes, which include phase
chaos, described by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and defect chaos.

We observe renormalization of excitation branches of an expanding polariton condensate, generated by a
tightly focused nonresonant laser pump. Polaritons scattered on the intrinsic sample disorder occupy normal

the excitation branches.

Such continuous phase engineering of effective nonlinear polarizabilities enables complete control of propagation of nonlinear signals and seamlessly combines the generation and manipulation
of harmonic waves. We will show how the symmetry of meta-atoms influences the nonlinear phase and how
versatile second harmonic processes can be controlled on sub-wavelength scales.

Metasurfaces provide unprecedented opportunities in creating novel optical devices in manipulating amplitude, phase, and polarization states. It has been shown that few-layer metasurfaces can dramatically improve
the device performance in eciency and bandwidth. Here we present the design, fabrication, and characterization of metasurface at lenses based on three-layer metasurfaces in the microwave and terahertz frequency
ranges, achieving outstanding performance toward real world applications.
Metamaterial Elements as Huygens Radiators
Omar Ramahi
Metamaterial particles are essentially electrically-small radiators with polarization dependency. Previous works
on metamaterials was concerned primarily with using such particles to achieve homogeneous media that
enabled unconventional propagation. The fact that the particles are radiators suggests that they can be
used as antennas. In antennas, not only radiation but radiation e ciency is critical. In fact, because of their
electrically-small size, metamaterial elements can be considered as Huygens radiators. With this perspective,
a systematic procedure for designing directional and e cient antennas can be developed as we demonstrate
here.

of the negative dynamic conductivity in a wide range of terahertz frequencies at room temperatures. Thus,

The presentation will cover in detail the design, fabrication and measurement of the device. The isolator
exhibits unidirectional terahertz propagation in reflection for circularly polarized waves, showing two bands

Classical and quantum plasmonics in nanostructured graphene
Martijn Wubs, Thomas Christensen, Weihua Wang, Antti-Pekka Jauho, N. Asger Mortensen
Technical University of Denmark (Denmark)
In graphene plasmonics, the classical description of graphene as a sheet with bulk conductivity breaks down
for nanostructured pieces of graphene, because finite-size effects emerge, resonance shifts for example.
Unlike for noble metals where this size dependence is well captured by a hydrodynamical model for the freeelectron response, in graphene additional competing size-dependent effects due to edge states can occur
which are even the dominant effects.
Electrical Detection of Graphene Plasmons

Plasmons, the collective oscillations of electrons in conducting materials, have the potential to interface electronic and photonic devices, and thus are widely studied in nanophotonics. Graphene, which has extraordinary
optoelectronic properties due to its peculiar band structure, has proven to be an excellent plasmonic material,
offering extremely strong, sub-wavelength electric field concentration with low loss. Here we predict extremely
compact on-chip electrical detection of single plasmons supported by nanostructured graphene.

We present a three-dimensional anisotropic resonant elastic metamaterial. Due to anisotropy, translation
95
eigenmodes are not degenerate along all spatial directions. Repeating the unit cells in one direction can lead
to an elastic rod, which can withstand both longitudinal and flexural waves. Band structure analysis shows
that within a finite frequency regime, only longitudinal wave can propagate, whereas transverse waves are
forbidden - a hallmark property conventionally found only in fluids. This finding is realized with experiments.

Marc Dubois, Chengzhi Shi, Yuan Wang, Xiang Zhang
Acoustic plane waves, critical to imaging, sensing, detecting, etc., are usually difficult to generate because
acoustic sources are small compared to the wavelength. Recently developed zero refractive index materials
for electromagnetic waves provide a solution to plane wave generation because of the infinite phase velocity of
waves travelling through them. We experimentally demonstrate that double zero index acoustic metamaterial
has the ability to convert efficiently the cylindrical wavefront emitted by an embedded point source into a
collimated planar wavefront.

Based on realistic quantum-mechanical simulations of the nonlinear optical response for doped graphene

96
with plasmon resonances in these systems to significantly higher levels than previously thought. Motivated by
this result, we explore various aspects of the plasmon-enhanced nonlinearity in doped nanographenes, such
as saturable absorption and high-harmonic generation, and find further support for the exceptional potential
of the atomically-thin material for nonlinear nanophotonic devices.

Although shaping of fields around nanostructures is widely studied in plasmonics, the influence of the field
inside the nanostructures is often overlooked. The linear field distribution inside the structure taken to the
third power causes third-harmonic generation. We demonstrate how this simple fact can be used to shape
complex fields around a single particle alone. We employ this scheme to switch the emission from a single
point to two spatially separated but coherent sources.

Periodically perforated gold films are subject to femtosecond pump-probe transmission measurements which
show relaxation dynamics of optically excited electrons. The transient data show two distinct exponential
decays where the shorter decay switches sign depending if plasmonic or non-plasmonic excitation is used.
We attribute this to the qualitatively different spatial distributions of the absorbed energy in these cases.

while maintaining a total outcoupling efficiency of 0.8 to a Gaussian profile.

A metamaterial formed by superconducting circuits or quantum dots can serve as active lasing medium when

avoided. We examine the influence of disorder on such a multi-atom lasing setup. We find that the lasing

We study the wave propagation through a disordered slab inside a waveguide of finite width. In the dense

Building a robust light-matter interface is a challenging task in the field of quantum photonics. In this talk,
we present our advances in controlling the emission of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds. The
broadband emission enhancement was implemented by coupling NV centers to hyperbolic metamaterials
composed of novel CMOS-compatible plasmonic materials. Further, we discuss how Purcell enhancement
of the optical transition affects the optical readout of the NV spin-state. These findings could be helpful for
engineering integrated quantum registers.

We report on the realization and characterization of an extreme hyperbolic metamaterial in which coexisting
type I/type II anisotropies completely reverse at the so called canalization wavelength”, lying in the visible
range. Spectroscopic ellipsometry confirms the simultaneous type I/type II response of the obtained structure.
Confocal microscopy experiments, conducted at the canalization wavelength, confirm the supercollimation
effect and the perfect lens behaviour. Numerical simulations are found to be in very good agreement with
experiments.

Locally resonant acoustic metamaterials beyond homogenization: subwavelength control of waves,
slow waves, negative index and other exotic phenomena
Nadege Kaina, Fabrice Lemoult, Mathias Fink, Geoffroy Lerosey
Institut Langevin (France)
Starting from the very simple example of a soda can metamaterial (an acoustic medium made of Helmholtz
resonators), we explain the propagation of waves in locally resonant media without claiming homogenized
parameters. This allows to highlight the importance of multiple scattering even at this deep subwavelength
scale where usually the quasi-static approximation is performed. This then permits to envisage exotic phenomena such as subwavelength control of waves, slow waves or even negative refraction with a single negative
medium.
Acoustic resonator systems with topological semimetal phases
Zhaoju Yang, Baile Zhang
We propose an approach of constructing acoustic topological semimetal phases in two-dimensional (2D) and
three-dimensional (3D) systems by stacking one-dimensional dimerized chains as building blocks. The 2D
acoustic system exhibits Dirac points with nonzero winding number. The 3D acoustic system exhibits Weyl
nodes with by nonzero Chern number. For stacked 3D slab structures, topologically protected chiral surface
states localize at the boundaries, which, can trace out the trajectories of Fermi Arcs, similar to previous
observations in condensed-matter Weyl semimetals.
Wave Control with space-time transformations
Mathias Fink
Because time and space play a similar role in wave propagation, wave control in complex media can be
achieved or by manipulating spatial boundaries or by manipulating time boundaries. Here we first emphasize
the role of time boundaries manipulation. We show that sudden changes of the medium properties generate instant wave sources that emerge instantaneously from the entire wavefield and can be used to control
this wavefield. We will also discussed a dual approach to control a wavefield in reverberating medium by
introducing tunable metasurfaces as controllable spatial boundaries.

A cubic array of 3D inertial resonators, numerically investigated because of its potential to block bulk waves,
gives new applications of metamaterials, using local resonances for seismic protection and seismic waves
damping. We analyze rotational and bending resonance modes with 3 different variations on ligament number
and size. Inertial resonators induce low frequency band gaps, which are relevant for seismic protection in
sedimentary basins.

Here we realize total transmission subwavelength imaging with a hyperbolic metamaterial lens. The elastic
parameters (mass density and stiffness) are delicately tuned and realized with our explicit analytical method
by a mass-spring model. The essential conditions for super-resolution (by hyperbolic dispersion relation with
negative effective mass density) and total transmission (by extremely large effective stiffness) are successfully
realized. The fabricatied metamaterial lens is capable of resolving subwavelength lowest symmetric Lamb
waves.

In a quantum network the quantum information is coherently transferred between material nodes and photonic
channels. One of the main challenges to implement such a network is to control the light-matter interaction at
the single photon level: one atom acting as stationary quantum bit should deterministically control the state of
a photon, and vice versa. This can be obtained in a so-called one-dimensional system, where a single atom
interacts only with a single and well-defined mode of the electromagnetic field.
Quantum Photonics

Quasinormal mode approach to modelling light-matter interactions in quantum-dot plasmonic resonator systems
Stephen Hughes
Queen’s University (Canada)
We present an intuitive and efficient quasinormal mode (QNMs) approach to modelling quantum light-matter
interactions in hybrid systems of quantum-dots (or artificial atoms) and plasmonic resonators. We first explore the semiclassical regime of enhanced spontaneous emission and radiative quenching for a selection
of plasmonic resonators including metal nanorods, nanorod dimers, and hyperbolic metamaterial structures.
Second, we study the quantum dynamics using a time-local master equation, and study regimes of single
photon emission, two quantum-dot entanglement and nonlinear photoluminescence.
Quantum Phenomena in Hybrid Nanostructures: Exciton-Plasmon Interactions and the Quantum Structure of the Plasmon Excitations
Alexander Govorov
Ohio University (USA)
The talk will review quantum effects predicted and observed in hybrid nanostructures composed of metal and
semiconductor components. Strong interactions between excitons, plasmons and phonons in hybrid geometries lead to the Fano interference effects, which were observed experimentally as an appearance of an optical
transparency window. In purely plasmonic structures, the quantum effects in confined geometries lead to the
peculiar structure of the wave function of a plasmon and to the generation of hot plasmonic electrons.
Photonic Integrated Circuits with On-Chip Single-Photon Emitters
Peter Michler
University of Stuttgart (Germany)
In quantum photonics the full on-chip integration of major optical components, like beamsplitters, singlephoton sources and detectors are currently one of the main goals. Here, we present our progress on the
implementation of In(Ga)As quantum dots as single-photon sources in on-chip GaAs/AlGaAs waveguide
structures. Photon cross-correlation measurements between the two output arms of an on-chip beamsplitter demonstrate the generation, guiding and splitting of triggered single photons under resonant excitation in
an on-chip device.

Terahertz (THz) wave has received considerable attention for use in many applications such as transmission

Plasmonic hot spots can trigger molecular displacements. In this approach azobenzene-like molecules, covalently grafted onto a polymeric backbone, are used as optical nanomotors that act as local molecular probes
of electromagnetic phenomena. The resulting local optically-induced motion is characterized by Atomic Force
Microscopy. We used this unique method for visualizing tunable plasmonic hot spots at the gaps of plasmonic

We investigated the interactions between localized plasmons in gold nanorods and excitons in J-aggregates
and were able to track an anticrossing behavior of the hybridized modes both in the extinction and in the
photoluminescence (PL) spectra of this hybrid system. We followed the evolution of the two PL peaks as
the plasmon energy was detuned from the excitonic resonance. Both extinction and PL results are in good

High Resolution Technique for Simultaneous Proteins and Nanoparticles Patterning
Lourdes Basabe-Desmonts
University of the Basque Country (Spain)
We present a novel methodology to create micro-scaled patterns of gold nanoparticles (GNP) adjacent to
micro-scaled patterns of proteins on a planar substrate. This methodology is the combination of microfluidic
vacuum soft lithography and micro-contact printing. Such multicomponent patterns enabled controlled cell
adhesion on discrete locations surrounded by GNP. Given the inherent properties of GNP, which may act
as optical sensors and topographic cues, these high-resolution multicomponent patterns could enable new
cellular studies with high spatio-temporal resolution.

We show for a model Hamiltonian that the interference of the first and second order pole of the Green’s function at an exceptional point, as well as the interference of the first order poles in the vicinity of the exceptional
point, gives rise to asymmetric scattering cross section profiles which are well described by the Beutler-Fano
formula, and thus are genuine Fano resonances. An outlook to possible applications in optics is given.
Highly contrasted structural colors for industrial applications using the Fano lineshape
Benjamin Gallinet
CSEM (Switzerland)
The fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures using up-scalable and cost-efficient processes is reported. Their
optical response features the characteristic Fano lineshape, which allows them to generate strong structural
colors. Wafer-scale fabrication and process compatibility with roll-to-roll embossing are demonstrated, which
paves the road towards their industrial implementation. These plasmonic nanostructures are expected to be
used in particular for anticounterfeiting, optical security and solar light management.

the Lamb shift in an integrated photonic device. The presence of a neighboring waveguide induces a reactive

I will discuss hybrid optoplasmonic architectures to tailor energy transfer between photons, plasmons, quantum emitters and heat carriers. Among the emergent properties of optoplasmonic structures is their ability
to combine spectral and spatial light localization, enabling ultrasensitive schemes for optical detection. Hybrid systems can also be designed to provide passive cooling. A combination of strong light localization and
spectral selectivity achievable under lower operating temperatures in optoplasmonic devices yields many applications in detection, spectroscopy, imaging, and radiative cooling.

We investigate theoretically and numerically the optical properties of metamaterials based on metallo-dielectric
core-shell nanowires. Single nanowires exhibit negative electric and magnetic responses stemming from the
spectral overlap of the lowest magnetic resonance of the dielectric shell with the plasmon resonance of the

We report recent advances concerning the control of topological excitations in out-of-equilibrium microcavity

of a localised potential barrier, propagate along the direction of the polariton flow but can also be optically
trapped, as has been shown. Here we present the next step in controlling these fundamental excitations,
reporting an optical method to (i) enhance their propagation, and (ii) control their interaction strengths.

In this work we demonstrate the complete dynamical control of polariton spin-vortex states, with orbital angular
momentum equal to plus or minus one, on a Poincare sphere and among different ones. More specifically, we
use red-detuned ultrafast Stark pulses to modulate, in time, the energy of the excitonic resonances. This, due
to the double light-matter nature of cavity polaritons, allows controlling the phase and the state of polarization
of the polariton field.

Plasmonics is widely considered to be the most promising candidate for the next generation of chip-scale

However, at telecommunication wavelengths, characteristics acceptable for practical implementation have been demonstrated only with noble metals, which are not compatible with industry-standard fabrication processes. In this work, we present ultralow-loss deep-subwavelength copper plasmonic waveguides
fabricated in a CMOS compatible process, which can outperform gold waveguides. These results create the
backbone for practical implementation of plasmonic nanocircuits in silicon photonics and silicon microelectronics.

showed that the plasmons of the graphene can be improved by chemical doping. Furthermore, the plasmonrelated characteristics, including the plasmon wavelengths and damping rates, can be obtained from the

arrays of two different types of metallic nanostructures, non-concentric rings and asymmetrically stacked
disks, in the visible and near-infrared regions. By using computer simulations, we show that extrinsic chirality in these systems is, importantly, due to individual nonchiral particles. We propose a mechanism for the
chiroptical response of single-particle plasmonic structures.

Sabri Kaya, Mustafa Turkmen, Omer Topaktas
Planar chiral metamaterials comprising double-layer dielectric-metal-dielectric resonant structures in the shape of a windmill are presented for near-infrared regime. The circular dichroism is retrieved from transmission
spectra. The dependence of spectral characteristics on the geometrical parameters of the planar chiral metamaterials is analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain method. Due to the enhanced chiroptical near-field
response and tunable spectral behavior, proposed PCM arrays may have potential for biosensing applications
of chiral biomolecules.

Tohoku University (Japan)
Transmitted second harmonic generation (SHG) is investigated for isosceles triangular hole array in 25 nmthick Au film on a quartz substrate. Even at normal incidence, due to lack of inversion symmetry in one
direction for the triangular shape, SHG generated at the surface of the hole wall is not cancelled and thus
observed. Numerical calculation based on the effective susceptibility formalism is compared to the experimentally observed resonance in SHG excitation spectra.

Federal University of Para (Brazil)
A new type of the graphene-based three-port circulator is suggested and analysed. The cross-section of the
component presents a three-layer structure consisting of silicon, silica and graphene. In-plane figure looks
like a common microwave microstrip circulator with a circular graphene resonator with three waveguides
symmetrically connected to it. The graphene is magnetized normally to its plane by a DC magnetic field.

Large amount of research has been conducted over transition metal dichalcogenide since production of
single- and multi-layerd graphene. These materials exhibit interesting 2-dimensional physics and can be utilized for electronic and optoelectronic devices. For measuring basic characteristic such as lattice properties
and information regarding the electronic band structure of the samples, we performed Raman scattering
spectroscopy by using five different excitation energies of 457.9nm, 488nm, 514.5nm, 532nm, and 632.8nm
and also measured temparature dependence of WSe2.

The energence of new facile fabrication techniques of producing the single-and the multilayered graphene
has led to large amount of research over other two-dimensional materials. In this study, we made WS2
samples by exfoliation method. We performed Raman spectroscopy using four different excitation energies in
different temperatures to study basic characteristics. We report the low energy modes and anomalous phonon
behavior that depends on the number of layers, temperatures, and resonant effect reflecting the underlying
electronic band structure.

We study the potential for enhanced nonlinear refractive index (n2) that exploits the low complex permittivity
attained in the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) regime. Our approach does not resort to optical resonances nor to
the enhancement of the longitudinal field component. Experiments performed on Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin
films show a six-fold increase of the nonlinear refractive index at the ENZ wavelength (=1300 nm). This
enhancement, combined with the low losses in the film, may enable studies of non-perturbative nonlinear
effects.

Terahertz antennas are highly suited to fulfill the demands of next generation wireless communication, detection, sensing, spectroscopy and imaging devices. The design and implementation of antennas in this frequency band, however, is challenging. To design an efficient THz antenna, a suitable solution is by using
nanomaterials. In this paper, monolayer graphene is used to coat the metallic surface of a THz patch antennas. It showed a 10percent improvement for, gain, radiated power and radiation efficiency, besides featuring
lower loss.

National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies (Romania)
We calculate using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method the third ordernonlinear response of a
nanocomposite consisting in carbon quantum dots (CQD) embedded in apolymeric matrix. We show that due
to the intrinsic high Kerr susceptibility presented by CQD, thecomposit exhibits significant nonlinear optical
properties suggesting promising applications ofthese materials in photonics. We numerically investigate the
optical response of the nanocompositeas a function of CQD’s shape, size, and concentration.

By engineering the semiconductor-to-metal crossover wavelength of our uniquely grown aluminum-doped
zinc oxide (AZO), we demonstrate simultaneous interband and intraband sup-picosecond recombination times in AZO thin films. The two nonlinear responses, driven by optical pulses at a different wavelength, are
independent and can be effectively combined to tailor the ultrafast response of optical telecommunication
signals, enabling a novel ability to dynamically control nanophotonic devices.

Phase-change materials have a pronounced contrast between their electrical and optical properties when in
the amorphous to crystalline phases, and can be switched between these phases quickly and repeatedly by
electrical or optical means. These characteristics have very recently been exploited to produce a novel form of
non-volatile optoelectronic display technology. In this paper we combine such phase-change display devices
with metamaterial arrays, so as to gain additional control over their spectral properties.
P9: Photoconductivity of few layer MoTe2
Toby Octon, Karthik Nagareddy, Monica Craciun, David Wright
A photoconductivity study of few-layer MoTe2 in a field effect transistor (FET) configuration was performed
to find the photoresponsivity and photocurrent response of the material. The mechanisms for MoTe2 with
no applied gate voltage were found to be dominated by the photovoltaic effect, showing its potential for use
in solar cells. Due to the band gap of MoTe2 being 1.1 eV, MoTe2 is a suitable photodetector for optical
wavelengths and potentially the near infrared.
P10: Graphene-Based Multi-Resonant Metamaterial Absorber in the Terahertz Regime
Reza Parvaz, Hamidreza Karami
Bu-Ali Sina University (Iran)
In this paper we present a multi-resonant Graphene-based perfect absorber in terahertz frequency range.
This metal-backed metamaterial absorber consists of a metallic ring resonator positioned on a Graphene
micro-ribbon. Afterward we obtain the resonant RLC circuit and investigate the transmission line model. This
proposed structure can be highly adapted to suit special requirements that one can manipulate the parame114
ters to approach single wideband or multi narrowband resonance.

Sensors are counted by their abilities to measure small changes in the measured quantities. Further, their
size and weight are other important factors to consider while designing a sensor. In this work, we proposed a sensor consists of three layers: Dielectric film sandwiched between thin graphene layer topped with
air and nonlinear substrate. The dispersion relation for the structure is derived for TE guided modes. The
homogenous sensing is calculated using maple 17.

University Ibn Zohr (Morocco)
We investigate here the band structures and electronic transport properties along the growth axis and in
the plane of GaAs(d1=2.52 nm)/AlAs(d2=1.16 nm) superlattice based on the envelope function formalism.
The effect of the well thickness, the ratio d2/d1 and the temperature on the band structures, have been also
studied. This sample has a direct band gap of 1.747 eV at 300K. The corresponding cut-off wavelength
indicates that it can be used as near infrared detector.

Boston University (USA)
Terahertz light emission based on electron-beam radiation mechanisms in graphene is investigated numerically. Specifically, we consider cyclotron-like emission in sinusoidally corrugated graphene, and the SmithPurcell effect in a planar graphene sheet on a nanoscale dielectric hole array. Technologically significant
power levels at geometrically tunable THz frequencies are computed for both device configurations even at
room temperature.

A subcell technique for calculation of optical properties of graphene metamaterials with the finite-difference
time-domain method is presented. The technique is applied for analysis of transmission, reflection and absorbtion spectra of various graphene metamaterials, and the results are compared to other theoretical approaches as well as experimental data. The method demonstrates a significantly better numerical efficiency
and accuracy than a common approach, where graphene is represented by a thin film.
P15: Resonant Visible Light Modulation with Graphene
Renwen Yu, Valerio Pruneri, Javier Garcia de Abajo
ICFO (Spain)
No fundamental limit appears to prevent us from designing wavelength-sized devices capable of controlling
the light phase and intensity at terahertz speeds in those spectral ranges. Here we have proposed a solution based upon graphene for fast modulation and switching of light at visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR)
frequencies which is of utmost importance for optical signal processing and sensing technologies.
P16: The Electromagnetic Chirality of an Object
Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Carsten Rockstuhl
We introduce a definition of the electromagnetic chirality of an object. The definition allows the absolute
ranking of objects according to their chirality and has an upper bound. The common definition of chirality
lacks both these features. We study the physical properties of the objects that achieve the upper bound and
show that they have promising applications. We discuss two of them: A twofold resonantly enhanced and
background free circular dichroism measurement setup and angle independent helicity filtering glasses.

A nanocomposite made by in situ synthesis of metal nanoparticles (MNP) in the commercially available photoresist novolak (Nv) is proposed as a novel material for integrated optics. Size of MNP is controlled during
the fabrication in order to provide a method to tune the absorption/scattering properties of the resulting nanocomposite and its effective refractive index. Practical applications of this nanocomposite are demonstrated.

H. Lago, M. F. Jamlos, P. J. Soh
Integration of array antenna into a metamaterial of single resonant Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) at
9.41 GHz is proposed. AMC plane stacked array slotted elements have successfully increased the bandwidth and efficiency of antenna to 20.59percent and 96.31percent respectively compared to 4.61percent and
95.91percent without AMC. It is observed that the positive permittivity and high permeability of 9 x 12 AMC
rectangular circular-slotted unit cell significantly contributed to such results.

Herein, we introduce a novel chiral metasurface composed of a chiral arrangement of nanoslits carved in
a continuous metal film, in which propagating surface plasmon modes are proved to be powerful tools to
control the metasurface’s chiral response. Numerical simulations help us devise a straightforward approach
to the measurface’s design and through which, by modifying the coupling between localized and propagating

The recent developments of nitride nanophotonics, based on photonic crystal membrane nanocavities and
microdisk resonators, pave the way to a novel nanophotonic platform. Here we present two recent achievements: first we demonstrate the room-temperature operation of a nitride microlaser emitting in the deep UV
spectral range (l=275 nm) with GaN/AlN multiple quantum wells. Secondly we tailor the second-harmonic
generation of a cw near infra-red radiation coupled to a high quality factor photonic crystal cavity.

We focus the calculation of this study on the behavior of the complete forbidden band gaps. The PC is a
rectangular (triangular) array of infinitely long vacuum rods of elliptical (circular) cross section surrounded by
a high dielectric medium.
P23: Optical correlations in 2D and 3D photonic crystals with weak and strong disorder
Femi Ojambati, E. Yeganegi, Allard P. Mosk, Willem L. Vos
University of Twente (The Netherlands)
We investigate experimentally the effect of disorder in real photonic crystals. We studied three-dimensional
(3D) silica opals, and two-dimensional (2D) silicon photonic crystals. The statistics of reflected light intensities
strongly differs from the Rayleigh distribution typical of a completely disordered medium, indicative of intensity correlations. To investigate such correlations, we probe the spatial-dependent correlation function of the
reflected intensity. We find that the reflected light from regions with low disorder correlates more than regions
with higher disorder.

Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands)
We theoretically and experimentally investigate a nano-opto-electro-mechanical system which allows controlling the spatial distribution of the vacuum electromagnetic field. The system is based on a double-membrane
photonic crystal waveguide. The bending of the top membrane, induced by an applied voltage, creates a
spatial profile of the effective refractive index, which affects the localization of the electromagnetic modes.
Large modulations of the optical quality factor are predicted by both theory and numerical calculations, and
confirmed by experimental data.

Kyung Hee University (Korea)
We studied an optimal design of highly efficient thermal emitters fabricated on patterned dielectric substrates
by conducting full-vectorial electromagnetic simulation. The simulation results revealed that two-dimensional
(2D) photonic crystals that are composed of dielectric patterns covered with a metal (Ta and W) layer enhance
the emissivity over a broad spectral range. This feature illustrates that each object in the 2D photonic crystals
acts as an optical cavity, thus improving the light-matter interactions at every resonant frequency.

We demonstrate experimentally that a tunable photonic colloidal crystal can bebuilt fully optically. Polystyrene
spheres, when illuminated by two counter- propagating laser beams, self-arranged due to the optical binding
forces into chain-like structure. Our experiments, based on confocal microscopy, show tunability of optical
response to unfocused supercontinuum laser. The spectrum of the scattered field varied along the photonic
crystal showing localization of the field on the front part of the chain.

The impact of micro- and nanopores on the optoelectronic performance of aluminium and silver layers with
117
hexagonal pore arrangement is demonstrated. Results show that the difference of optoelectronic properties
between the aluminium and silver MP layers is negligible (less than 5 percent), while the NP silver layers
demonstrate significantly higher transmittance (up to 20 percent) at the given sheet resistance. The results
allow to select the most appropriate patterned layer for each specific optoelectronic applications.

We present theoretical predictions for the photonic even line defect modes, and spatial distribution of the
electromagnetic field intensity as a function of the temperature. The photonic crystal hole slab is composed
of a 2D-hexagonal array, embedded in a non-dispersive semiconductor alloy. Our results show a strong temperature dependence of the waveguide modes, the electromagnetic field distribution, and critical temperature
values for the existence of guided modes to defect radius values near the edges of the photonic band gap.

In this paper, we study the influences of material parameters on the phononic band gaps of two-dimensional
(2D) solid phononic crystals (PCs) based on the Plain Wave Expansion (PWE) method. We found that the
pass bands and forbidden bands of the PCs can be changed by rotating the anisotropic material orientation
of the scatterers. It is noted that most of the above-mentioned studies are based on the calculations of the
PCs with some particular material combinations.

We present a method for designing gradient index devices for elastic waves in plates based on Fourier homogenization of phononic crystals/acoustic metamaterials. The method allows the design to control the three
fundamental Lamb modes, despite the fact that their dispersion relation is managed by different elastic cons118
tants. It is shown that by means of complex GRIN phononic crystals and thickness variations, it is possible to
independently design the three refractive indexes of Lamb modes, hence realizing their simultaneous control.

A reconfigurable acoustic metasurface was designed and constructed for manipulatingthe propagation of
sound waves. The acoustic metasurface consists of an arrayof 3D-printed cells containing motor-driven interdigitated walls. By changingthe positions of the interdigitated walls in each cell, the acousticmetasurface can
change the phase distribution of the sound waves passingthrough it. In this way, dynamic steering of sound

We demonstrate the possibility to break the natural orthogonality of elastic plate waves (A0 and S0 Lamb
modes) using an assymetric metamaterial composed by an ensemble of long metallic rods closely packed
and coupled to a one side of a thin metallic plate. We believe that our approach is valid for any medium that
supports two propagating modes at the same frequency.
P37: Annular Hole Phononic Crystals for Surface Acoustic Waves

Novel annular hole arrays are used as phononic crystals for surface acoustic waves. Simulations show dispersions with low frequency bandgaps that can be tuned by the geometry of the annular holes and experiments
validate these simulations through expected attenuation of propagating waves. These annular holes improve
upon cylindrical pillar phononic crystals that have been the focus of much recent interest.
P38: High-Q perfect absorption based on coherent Fano resonances
Xianji Piao, Sunkyu Yu, Namkyoo Park
We realize narrowband perfect absorption of light by applying Fano resonances to guided-wave structures. By
transplanting the stub structure of microwave theory into the optical platform we derive the Fano resonance
for coherent incident waves, which allows the low-loss and high-Q perfect absorption. Its application as a
simplest but fundamental building block in opto-thermal devices such as absorptive switch and opto-thermal
emitter will be discussed.

We prove that there exists a strong correspondence between optical PT-symmetry and relativistic electrodynamics, in the frame of pseudo-particle defined as the state of polarization and Lorentz-like pseudo-force
defined as the distribution of material parameters. We show that the SOP evolution on the Poincare sphere in
slowly-varying potential follows the relativistic motion of electric charges governed by electric, magnetic, and
nonlinear Lorentz force terms, and interpret the phases of PT symmetry in terms of electric- or magnetic-force
dominant regimes.

In this work we summarize results of our previous investigation on speckle-pattern rotation of light propagating
in gyrotropic graphene-covered optical fiber and present our new study on plasmon-polariton manipulation in
gyrotropic graphene-covered nanowire. Investigation shows that in both cases light energy distribution rotates
moving along propagation axis. Rotation angle may be controlled by both gyrotropy of the core and chemical
potential of graphene. Results may be used for development optics and plasmonic devices as well as for
sensing applications.

Optical beams are generally unbound in bulk media. Here we reveal the existence of still doughnut-shaped
and azimuthally polarized solitons with vanishing Poynting vector and angular momentum in near-zero-index
media with Kerr nonlinearity. Our results suggest applications in optical data processing and storage, quantum
optical memories, and soliton-based lasers without cavities. Additionally, near-zero-index conditions can also
be found in the interplanetary medium and in the atmosphere, where we provide a complementary explanation
to the rare phenomenon of ball-lightning.

With unique surface plasmon resonance properties and high potential for many important applications, plasmonic nanostructures are attracting more and more attention in the past decade. In this presentation, the

Nanophotonic Designs for Photovoltaics and Luminescent Solar Concentrators
Vivian Ferry
University of Minnesota (USA)
Luminescent solar concentrators hold many advantages for future photovoltaic designs, but are limited by
optical losses deriving from both the luminescent material and the optical geometry. In this paper we discuss
ways that Bragg mirrors and metamaterials can be used in cooperation with tailored luminescent nanocrystals
to achieve high concentration factors. We quantify the forms of the losses, and show how nanophotonics can
be used to change the necessary tolerances on the luminescent materials to achieve high performance.

Exploring nanoscale chirality: issues of parity, scale and measurement
David L. Andrews
University of East Anglia (United Kingdom)
The development of light beams with a vortex character in wave-front or polarization structure has brought
a new focus upon the fundamental science of chiral interactions. To understand the interplay and coupling
of optical and material chirality on the nanoscale generally invites recognition of quantum facets to the lightmatter interaction. This presentation identifies some of the key issues associated with spatial and temporal
parity, scale and measurement.
Optical and acoustical radiation torque and forces: overview, applications, and selected recent developments

Washington State University (USA), 2 University of Texas at Austin (USA)
Beginning with Marston and Crichton’s analysis of optical radiation torque from the 1980s, the generation
and analysis of acoustical beams carrying axial angular momentum (from the 1990s) is surveyed along with
developments from the past decade involving negative radiation forces. Acoustical radiation forces are also
well suited for controlling the shape of liquid objects (as used for exploring light scattering caustics) and for
the suppression of capillary instabilities.

We investigate the photon mediated interaction of atoms trapped in the evanescent field of a waveguide or
nanofibre. The evanescent field features a locking between the spin and the direction of propagation which
we employ to drive selectively coherent dipole-dipole interactions between the trapped atoms.
Chirality control at the nanoscale
Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto, N. Bonod
We present a simple analytic formalism to model the interaction between a chiral emitter and a nanoantenna.
We compare the performances of metallic and dielectric spherical antennas to tailor the chirality of light
emission. It is observed that metallic spherical nanoparticles spoil the chirality of light emission by yielding
achiral fields. In contrast, thanks to the combined excitation of magnetic and electric modes, dielectric Sibased particles feature the ability to inhibit or boost the chirality of light emission.
Chirality in evanescent near fields
Euan Hendry
We demonstrate the generation of short-range, chiral electromagnetic fields by the excitation of chiral arrays
of metallic antennas, and present proof of principal experiments using chiral microwave antennas and small
probe helices to represent chiral molecules. By building up a physical understanding of both the generation
of chiral near fields and their interaction with chiral matter, one can begin to harness the potential for sensing,
measurement and characterization.

Light with spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization, such as vector and Poincare beams, can also
have non-uniform helicity density. The resultant gradients in helicity density will generate a force that will
interact differently with opposite enantiomers of chiral molecules. By propagating these structured beams
through nonlinear self-focusing media we can enhance this chiral force with the potential for manipulating
chiral molecules.
Chirality of microwave fields
Eugene Kamenetskii, Maksim Berezin, Elad Hollander, Reuven Shavit
Ben Gurion University (Israel)
In optics, the field chirality on the subwavelength scales can be obtained based on special-form plasmonic
structures. It was shown that with use of quasi-2D ferrite disks with magnetic-dipolar-mode (MDM) oscillations
one can observe near-field chirality in microwaves. The fields originated from a MDM ferrite disk, - magnetoelectric fields - carry both spin and orbital angular momentums. They are characterized by power-flow vortices
and non-zero helicity. We consider ME-field chirality in the near- and far-field regions of microwave radiation.

We consider the interaction of a two-level atom with a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) light beam with high values
of radial index, p , and/or winding number l. We focus on the effects of the Gouy phase together with other
phase contributions due to the curvature in a LG beam when it interacts with atoms at near resonance.
19:30 : Helicity transfer between particles
Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas
CSIC (Spain)
Due to the conservation of the electromagnetic helicity, I will show the consequence for energy transfer of
a recent optical theorem that I established for the helicity of wave-fields, (equivalent to the so-called optical
chirality for time-harmonic waves), on scattering with chiral structures. In analogy with a FRET process, the
helicity is transferred between a donor and acceptor thus conveying information of their respective chirality
properties.

Optical signal dispersion in hyperbolic metamaterials
Tomasz Stefaniuk, Anatoly Zayats
King’s College London (United Kingdom)
We present the study of ultrashort pulse dynamics in hyperbolic plasmonic metamaterial. The transient Kerrtype nonlinear response of metamaterials is simulated by introducing the nonlinearity of Au using the two
temperature model. In the nanorod metamaterial the nonlinearity is not limited by the optical properties of the
123
constituents, but it can be designed to be stronger than in uniform materials at a given spectral range. We
demonstrate that this effect can be used for dispersion management of ultrashort pulses.

We investigate new geometries of hyperbolic metamaterials such as highly corrugated structures, nanoparticle monolayer assemblies, super-structured or vertically arranged multilayers and nanopillars. All structures
retain basic properties of hyperbolic metamaterials, but have functionality improved on particular purpose:
increased absorption, radiative decay enginnering, and selective control over volume plasmon-polaritons or
directional surface waves.
Advanced plasmonic metamaterials for ultrasensitive biosensing
Andrei V. Kabashin
This presentation will overview our on-going activities on the improvement of physical sensitivity of plasmonic

Hyperbolic metamaterials use the control of the propagative modes through the engineering of the dispersion
relation, and are considered highly promising to reach different meta-properties. However, simple and large
scale fabrication technologies allowing controlled final optical properties at chosen frequency ranges (including the visible one) are still needed. Here we present the fabrication and optical study using spectroscopic
ellipsometry, of nanocomposites based on metal nanoparticles embedded in a self-assembled anisotropic
polymer host, presenting a strong spectrally selective optical anisotropy.

We investigate a class of hyperbolic materials that not only display negative refraction and focusing in a lens
with parallel sides but also allow one to modify the focal length of aslab lens with an externally applied magnetic eld. This is possible because antiferromagnets aregyrotropic and support magnetic polaritons whose
frequencies are sensitive to magnetic elds. Inaddition, a rich caustic structure emerges at low temperatures,
when damping should be small.

Purcell effect in multiperiodic metal-dielectric metamaterials was studied theoretically. We have demonstrated
that one can use multiperiodicity to obtain greater values of Purcell factor than in ordinary periodic metamaterials. Further enhancement of spontaneous emission was reached by including a cavity layer in multiperiodic
structure. We have analyzed the dependency of Purcell factor on the emitter location for structures both
with and without cavity. Our results can be useful for more efficient manipulation of spontaneous emission in
metamaterials.

Wire media can be used for non-diffractive, sub-diffraction-limited image transmission over several wavelength. A perfect reconstruction of transmitted field distribution, however, has been limited to narrow frequency
windows defined by the Fabry-Perot resonance condition. We propose and demonstrate that this restrication
can be overcome by using ultra short THz pulses and measuring the electric field in the time domain.

We use scanning near-field optical microscopy to study the response of hexagonal boron nitride nanocones
at infrared frequencies, where this material behaves as a hyperbolic medium. The obtained images are dominated by a series of hot rings that occur on the sloped sidewalls of the nanocones, which are consistent
with directional propagation of hyperbolic phonon-polaritons (HPhP) rays that are launched at the edges and
zigzag through the interior of the nanocones, sustaining multiple internal reflections off the sidewalls.

The transverse spatial profile of an intense light beam propagating in a thermal nonlinear medium evolves
following the hydrodynamical equations. The interplay between the geometry of the light beam and the nonlocal thermal response strongly affects superfluid behaviour, as shown by experiments studying quantised
vortex nucleation from an obstacle. A properly tailored nonlocal response and beam geometry is also used
to simulate the Newton-Schrodinger equation and provide an experimental testbed for astrophysical studies

Under adequate conditions, cavity-polaritons can form a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Here, we demonstrate room-temperature BEC of cavity-polaritons in simple laminated microcavities filled with biologically
produced enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). The unique molecular structure of eGFP prevents exciton annihilation even at high excitation densities, thus facilitating BEC. BEC is clearly evidenced by a distinct
threshold, an interaction-induced blue shift of the condensate and the presence of a second threshold, which
is associated with the onset of photon lasing.

A planar microcavity structure consists of GaAs QWs and Jaggregate molecular dye assembled together in a multi-layered stack to form the active region. Angle-resolved
photoluminescence at 80K reveals clear anticrossing. Furthermore, through power dependent measurements
we demonstrate for the first time strong nonlinear emission and onset of hybrid polariton lasing regime.
Towards strongly confined exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensates with a polymer at ambient

We create exciton-polaritons in a microcavity filled with a ladder-type conjugated polymer. At room temperature, we observe thermalization and, above a critical excitation density, Bose-Einstein condensation of the polaritons, as evidenced through nonlinear emission, interaction-induced blue-shift and long-range macroscopic
coherence. Our approach demonstrates a radically simplified route to investigate Bose-Einstein condensation
physics at ambient conditions with easy-to-process non-crystalline materials. Finally, we discuss recent experiments on nanoscale defect cavities to produce strongly confined condensates and possible ways towards
quantum simulation.

The condensation phase diagram of a ZnO microcavity shows that in wide bandgap microcavities, contrary
to a common assumption, the strong exciton-LO phonon interaction does not necessarily lead to a reduction
of the polariton condensation threshold. Most important, the condensation threshold is found to be a strongly
varying function of the excitation spot size and to display an absolute minimum, for this microcavity and at
room-temperature, for an excitation spot diameter of about 12 micrometers.

The spatial dynamics of the formation of a polariton condensate under a tightly focused excitation is imaged
through 2D near-field and far-field 2D tomography in a ZnO microcavity, up to room temperature. The modelling exhibits the role of the outwards polariton flux caused by the reservoir repulsion, that leads to a 3 to 10

Fano resonances arising from coupling between the surface plasmon polariton and planar waveguide modes

We present recent results on the use of Fano resonances to provide (i) circularly-dichroic behavior in planar

This work thereby illustrates a more directed use of Fano resonances to produce novel optical behavior in

We calculate the transmission of the electromagnetic wave propagating througha linear array of dielectric,

We propose a way to realize electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a metamaterial. The incidence

When the size of a nanohole occupies relatively large portion of the unit cell ofan array of nanoholes perforated
in thin metallic film, the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs)are combined by the higher order waveguide
modes of the holes to produce multipole surfaceplasmons (MSPs): coupled SPPs with multipole texture on the
127
electric field distributions. Itis shown that the degeneracy between MSPs with different symmetries produces
sharp Fanoresonance and causes nearly perfect absorption with strong field enhancement.

Using the Lorenz-Mie theory, we derive an analytical condition for the occurrence ofmutiple Fano resonances
in single scattering by coated spheres composed of magnetic materials.This condition establishes that Fanocomb scattering response depends uniquely on materialparameters and thickness of the shell, provided that
it is magnetic and thin compared to thescatterer radius. We argue that both position and profile of these Fano
resonances could beexternally tuned by engineering magnetic materials.

We study generalizations of the Fano line shape that describe the scattering amplitude as a function of several variables. In particular, we obtain simple approximations for the transmission coefficient of guided-mode
resonant (GMR) gratings as a function of both frequency and in-plane wavevector components of the incident
wave. The approximations take into account symmetries of the structure, causality and energy conservation conditions. The proposed theory describes angular tolerances of GMR filters and spatio-temporal pulse

The full elasticity equations are a vector system that connect stresses and displacements. For structured
media, composites or materials that have resonators or inclusions embedded within them or upon them, it is
natural to try and obtain effective mediaequations. Unfortunately in several applications one is not in a regime
where quasi-static homogenisations is valid and so we consider dynamic homogenisation.

The propagation of waves through microstructured media with periodically arranged inclusions has applications in many areas of physics and engineering, stretching from photonic crystals through to seismic
metamaterials. In the high-frequency regime, modeling such behavior is complicated by multiple scattering
of the resulting short waves between the inclusions. Our aim is to develop an asymptotic theory for modeling

Subwavelength grating waveguides are important building blocks of modern Si-based integrated-optical circuitry. However, accurate fabrication of structures composed of submicrometer-size Si blocks is challenging.
Deep understanding of the influence of fabrication imperfections on the device performance is thus required.
Therefore, the effect of pseudo-random errors in size and position of Si nanoblocks on the transmission of
such waveguides was numerically studied. Results will be analyzed and physically justified, and conclusions
for the device design will be drawn.

New Building Blocks for Quantum Technologies: Doped Carbon Nanotubes and Plasmonically Coupled
Quantum Dots Molecules
Han Htoon
Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA)
I will present two novel systems capable of serving as new building blocks for Quantum Information Technologies. First, I will present that solitary oxygen dopants covalently attached to the carbon nanotubes can
serve as room temperature single photon emitters in telecommunication wavelength. I will then show that
the plasmonic field of a gap-bar nano-antenna can induced coupling between two thick-shell quantum dots
separated by more than 30 nm, forcing them to emit as a single quantum emitter.

Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden)
We demonstrate strong coupling between plasmonic nanocavities and molecular excitons at room temperature on a single plasmonic nanoparticle level. These results open up possibilities for room temperature
quantum optics as opposed to previous experiments that have been performed at cryogenic temperatures
and in vacuum using various cavity-emitter configurations in atomic and solid state systems.
Optical Stark-effect in J-aggregate-metal hybrid nanostructures
Parinda Vasa
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (India)
We report on the observation of optical Stark effects in J-aggregate-metal hybrid nanostructures exhibiting
strong exciton-surface-plasmon-polariton coupling. For red-shifted nonresonant excitation, pump-probe spectra show characteristic features of pump-induced Stark shift of the polariton resonances. For larger coupling
strengths, we observe largely enhanced Stark shift with opposite sign caused by a transient reduction in normal mode splitting. Such a strong coherent interaction may be useful for applications in ultrafast all-optical
switching.
Taming single solid-state quantum systems and mesoscopic objectives at the nanoscale
Xuewen Chen
We report on controllable and highly efficient coherent and incoherent interactions of propagating photons
and single quantum systems in solid state. Depending on the configuration and the regime of interactions,
a single emitter show great impact on a mesoscopic objective (or vice versa ) by cloaking, or by enhancing
extinction cross section of a few orders of magnitude, or by starting coherent oscillation. We present new
experimental efforts on building highly bright single-photon sources.

Plasmon-mediated generation of continuum emission in metal nanoparticle hot spots
Sebastian Bange, Tobias Haug, Philippe Klemm, John M. Lupton
Universitat Regensburg (Germany)
Ultrafast near-infrared laser pulses can excite localized broadband luminescence on disordered noble-metal
nanoparticle surfaces. The nonlinear emission from individual hot spots spans a continuum covering the nearinfrared and visible range, and its spectroscopic signatures can be explained by radiative relaxation of hot
electrons within the conduction band. The electron gas in the emitting particles is heated to several thousand
Kelvin, since the plasmonic environment enhances the excitation cross section and funnels additional energy
into the hot spot.

Dang Yuan Lei

Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), 2 Wuhan University (China)
The interactions between surface plasmons in metal nanostructures and excitons in quantum emitters lead
to many interesting phenomena that are strongly dependent on the quantum yield of surface plasmons. The
experimental measurement of this quantum yield is hindered due to the difficulty in distinguishing all the
possible exciton recombination channels. By utilizing the propagation of surface plasmons, we experimentally
determined the quantum yield of single surface plasmons generated by a quantum dot coupled with a silver
nanowire.

We used terahertz metamaterials for the high-speed detection of microorganisms. Extremely small amounts
of the microorganisms can be detected, because their sizes are on the same scale as the micro-gaps of
the metamaterials. The resonant frequency shift of the metamaterials was investigated in terms of the number density and the dielectric constants of the microorganisms. To optimize the metamaterial sensors, we
controlled the geometrical parameters such as gap width, substrate dielectric constant and target shapes.

Andrea Alu
The University of Texas at Austin (USA)
I will discuss our recent work in the area of non-reciprocal devices, from acoustics to nanophotonics, with
the overall goal of largely breaking Lorentz reciprocity and realize isolation in practical devices without using

We investigate lasing in the plasmon distributed feedback laser. For this we derive equations of DFB laser
which take into account the process of spontaneous emission in the gain medium and modes competition.
We find dependence number of photons in the laser modes of lasing on the intensity of pumping and on the

of a host line periodically loaded with reactive elements (either capacitances or inductances) are presented.
The considered implementations are restricted to microstrip lines either loaded with patch capacitors or with
inductive slots (etched in the ground plane). It is demonstrated that these structures are useful for device
miniaturization due to the slow-wave effect associated to the presence of the reactive elements.

Using a magnonic crystal-an artificial magnetic media with a periodic variation of its magnetic properties in
space-to enhance nonlinear magnon-magnon interactions, we have succeeded in the realization of magnonby-magnon control, and the development of a magnon transistor. We demonstrate that the density of magnons
flowing from the transistors source to its drain can be decreased three orders of magnitude by the injection of

We experimentally investigated the full-range frequency response of non-Foster elements (NE). Our results
indicate that the de-embedded impedance of NEs co-existing with properly designed stabilization networks
has inverted Lorentzian resonance that satisfies the Kramers-Kronig relations. While the left-side non-Foster
response is intrinsically accompanied by a negative, frequency dependent resistance, there also exists a
non-Foster response on the right side of the resonance. This helps to achieve high-frequency non-Foster
responses and wideband compensation for frequency dispersions of metamaterials and devices.
P40: Metasurface for Low Profile X-Band Antenna Application Based on High Permeability and Low

compared to the others designs while maintaining the resonant frequency at 9.41 GHz. In addition, it is
observed that the proposed AMC unit cell is capable to have higher permeability of 6.26 and lower permittivity

Using continuous wave terahertz spectroscopy and numerical simulations we investigate fundamental eigenmodes and higher-order resonances in planar arrays of split-ring resonators (SRRs). Special attention is paid
to the interaction between SRRs in metamaterial arrays and properties of diffraction (lattice) mode in periodic
arrays of SRRs. We observe tuning of resonant frequency of high-Q factor and high-frequency lattice mode by variation of parameters of individual resonators which may be advantageous for fabrication of tunable
metamaterial filters and modulators.

Alexander Andreevich Zyablovsky, Eugeny Sergeevich Andrianov, Alexander Alexandrovich Pukhov

In contrast to Hermitian systems, modes of non-Hermitian ones are nonorthogonal. As a result, system energy
depends not only on mode amplitudes but also on phase shift between them. In this work we show that it is
possible to increase amplitudes of the modes without increasing of system energy. Moreover, we demonstrate
that when system is in exceptional point any infinitesimally small changing of the system parameters leads to
increasing of mode amplitudes.

We show that nanogap-based antennas can provide large emission rate enhancement and good extraction
efficiency despite the close proximity between quantum emitters and metallic objects. We argue thanks to accurate closed-form expressions that quenching can be overcome by the strong decay into slow gap-plasmons
modes supported by nanogaps. To illustrate these predictions, we provide a numerical analysis of nanocubetype antennas and propose a classification of nanoantennas based on two figures of merit, the emission rate
and the extraction efficiency.

Scalable Fabrication of 2 nm-Wide Plasmonic Nanotrench Arrays For Strong Field Enhancements
Joel K. W. Yang
Singapore University of Technology and Design (Singapore)
Plasmonic field enhancements intensifies with decreasing gaps between metallic nanostructures. However,
the scalable fabrication of nanogaps in the 10-nm scale remains challenging. We present a process to scaleup the fabrication of nanotrench arrays in Au. Combining top-down and bottom-up techniques, double-gap
structures were patterned, with gaps measuring =2 nm. These structures exhibit ultrasmooth surfaces, as
achieved with template stripping with reusable templates. The double-gap structure increases the surface
area where light is localized thus enabling enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG).
Significant enhancement of the chiral correlation length in nematic liquid crystals by gold nanoparticles capped with axially chiral binaphthyl ligands
Torsten Mori, A. Sharma, T. Hegmann
Kent State University (USA)
To investigate how chirality propagates from a chiral nanoscale surface, we studied gold nanoparticles functionalized with axially chiral binaphthyl molecules. In particular, we synthesized three enantiomeric pairs of
chiral ligand-capped gold nanoparticles differing in size, curvature, and ligand density that allowed us to tune
the chirality transfer from nanoscale solid surfaces to a bulk anisotropic liquid crystal (nematic) medium. Ultimately we are examining how far the chirality from a nanoparticle surface reaches into a soft, self-assembled
bulk material.

We present here the parity-time (PT) symmetric Terahertz (THz) system based on an optically-pumped, active

In metamaterial absorbers, absorption for transverse electric polarization falls off much more rapidly than
transverse magnetic for increasing angle of incidence. In the present work we demonstrate through computational study that the broad-angle TM behavior cannot be associated with periodicity, instead it is the result
of coupling with a surface electromagnetic. Previous experimental results are consistent our computational

Reduced-dimensionality materials for photonic and optoelectronic applications including energy conversion,

novel materials based on reduced-dimensionality is driven by new physics. Understanding and optimizing material properties requires characterization at the relevant length scale, which is often below the diffraction limit.

We investigate spontaneous light emission by electrons passing through a nanoscale metal constriction. We
find that the emission is caused by two distinct mechanisms. The first mechanism is driven by electron colliding with the effective potential of the contact. The second emission process involves collisions of electrons
with the walls of the constriction. We find that multiple collisions with the walls can lead to the orders-ofmagnitude higher light emission probability in comparison to single collision with the effective potential.

Spin-orbit coupling in photonic systems: from Optical Spin Hall Effect to Z topological insulator
Guillaume Malpuech
University Blaise Pascal (France)
The optical modes of photonic structures are the so-called TE and TM modes which bring intrinsic spin-orbit
coupling and chirality to these systems. This, combined with the unique flexibility of design of the photonic
potential, and the mixing with excitonic resonances, allows to achieve many phenomena, often analogous to
other solid state systems. In this contribution, I will review several of these realizations, namely the optical
spin Hall effect, Berry curvature for photons, and the photonic/polaritonic topological insulator.

Waves propagating in a spatially varying potential present modifications of their spectral properties, which
depend on the symmetry of this potential. Of particular interest is the case of a quasi-periodic potential.
Fibonacci quasi-crystals are predicted to sustain a fractal energy spectrum, having a profound impact on many

by Chern numbers. I will show that cavity polaritons provide an excellent platform to probe these fractal and

A method to excite the non-radiating anapole mode of a high index isotropic dielectric nanosphere is presented. With tightly focused radially polarized beam illumination, the main-contributing electric dipole mode and
magnetic modes can be zero with only a weak electric quadruple contributing to the total scattering. Further,
with a standing wave illumination formed by two counter-propagating focused radially polarized beam under

Explicit demonstration of how path interference can enhance plasmonic nonlinearity

We demonstrate why nonlinear frequency generation, e.g. second harmonic generation and four-wave mixing,

conversion enhancement. We utilize this phenomenon to obtain further enhancement using interference of
the multiple conversion paths.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Absorption
Philippe Tassin
Chalmers University (Sweden)
I will review our work on electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption in metamaterials. By combining dark and radiative resonators in the unit cell, it is possible to create dispersion-engineered metamaterials with transmission spectra reminiscent of electromagnetically induced transparency. We show how the
response can be improved by designing both the radiative and the dissipative loss of the constituent resonators.
Optical spin-dependent Fano resonances
Xianji Piao, Sunkyu Yu, Namkyoo Park
We introduce optical spin-dependent Fano resonance, using a chiral resonator enclosed within a pair of
designed birefringent mirrors. It is shown that the interference between two nondegenerate resonances from
the presence of birefringent mirrors develops differentiated Fano resonance for each spin. We prove that
these spin-dependent antisymmetric Fano line shapes originate from the counter-rotating spin eigenvectors.
Utilizing the spectral separation between different spin, we propose a route to achieve optical spin-angularmomentum without the aid of circular-dichroism or magneto-optical effect.
Interference of nano-vortex fields formed by plasmonic cavities

We demonstrate the capability of forming the single-nanometer-sized optical vortex fields using designed

vortex modes having different angular momenta.

Here we show that the hybridisation of plasmonic modes (electric and magnetic) in a chiral metamaterial

the molecular and macromolecular stereochemical structure. Biomaterials with different secondary structure
motifs (i.e. a-helical, b-sheet and random coil structures) have differing effects on the level of coupling and
thus provide unique fingerprints of biomacromolecular structure.

In an effort to produce chiral plasmonic structures beyond helices and nanoparticle aggregates, we recently

be aroused from structure chirality of nanocomposites. We also investigate the interaction exists between the

Classically, a topological insulator may b emodelled either as (i) an achiral nonreciprocal biisotropic dielectricmagnetic material, or (ii) an isotropic dielectric-magnetic material whose surface is endowed with charge and
current densities characterized by a surface admittance. In terms of electromagnetic scattering responses
frmo a topological-insulator half-space and from a topological-insulator sphere, the two models yield the
same results. However, only model (ii) is consistent with topologiical insulators having protected conducting

employ cylindrical vector beams with azimuthal polarization to create a cylindrical electric field, and selectively
induce optical frequency magnetic responses in metal nanoparticle-based nanomaterials. We demonstrate
this in 2- and 3-dimensional systems that do not have to possess cylindrical symmetry.

University of British Columbia (Canada)
A silicon photonic circuit, composed of grating couplers and waveguides coupled to a photonic crystal slot
cavity, is designed and fabricated for optical trapping and sensing applications. Experiments with Au nanospheres and nanorods demonstrate that these devices can optically trap nanoparticles as small as thirty
nanometers with sub-mW laser power. By modelling the time-series transmission data while single nanoparticles are trapped in the cavity, it is possible to quantify the size and anisotropy of the particles with nanometer
precision.

Subwavelength gratings provide additional design flexibility compared to conventional waveguide-based devices and are particularly useful for applications such as mode conversion, wavelength selective mirrors and
dispersion engineering. However, subwavelength grating structures have some design and manufacturing
challenges, in part due to the small features which are near the diffraction limit of most optical lithography
systems used for integrated photonics. We discuss methods to design and optimize these devices and provide specific examples of edge couplers and frequency selective mirrors.

Recent years have seen a rapid growth in demand for ultra high speed data transmission with end users
expecting fast, high bandwidth network access. However as data rates increase, present technology based
on well-established CMOS electronics is becoming increasingly difficult to scale and consequently optical
data networks are struggling to satisfy current user demands. Recently a number of advanced approaches
have been reported developed to overcome this bottleneck based on all optical signal processing using silicon
photonics devices.
Homogenisation of sub-wavelength grating waveguides
Trevor James Hall, Hamdam Nikkhah
University of Ottawa (Canada)
The design of sub-wavelength planar light structures is challenging because nanoscale simulation over the
full device may be unreliable. Rather reliance must be placed on a simple homogenisation procedure that captures properties pertinent to the larger scale while smoothing over the smaller scale detail. A homogenisation
approach is described that combines available tools with simple design rules to accurately model subwavelength grating waveguides even closed to Bragg resonance provided proper account is taken of temporal and
spatial dispersion.

LEDs and organic LEDs (OLEDs) are on the way to take over lightning and display markets. As with other
light emitting or collecting devices, micro- and nanostructures for enhanced light control and thus increased
efficiencies have already found their way into OLEDs. We chose plasmonic nanostructures due to their particularly high mode densities and enhanced optical fields. In addition, their spectral properties can be tuned by
tailoring the nanostructure geometry while regular lattice arrangements can lead to higher efficiency.

Dielectric-based metamaterials are proposed to be the ideal candidates for low-loss, high efficiency devices.
However, to employ dielectric nanostructures for high power applications, the dielectric material must have a
high laser induced damaged threshold (LIDT) value. In this work, we investigated the LIDT values of dielectric
materials for high power fiber laser applications. Consequently, we found that the fabricated SiO2 nanostructures can withstand laser fluence exceeding 100 J/cm2.

We investigate lossy and gain metasurfaces with pure imaginary permittivity or permeability in detail. In such
particular metasurfaces, either electric or magnetic field is almost constant. Based on such a unique characteristic, we find out some applications in antireflection coatings and parity-time-symmetric systems. For
instance, it is found that both lossy and gain metasurfaces can operate as ultrathin antireflection coatings. In

Metasurfaces composed of planar arrays of sub-wavelength artificial structures show promise for light manipulation, and have yielded novel ultrathin optical components. Here we experimentally demonstrate a gatetunable metasurface that enables dynamic electrical control of the phase and amplitude of the plane wave
reflected from the metasurface. Tunability arises from field-effect modulation of the complex refractive index
of conducting oxide layers incorporated into metasurface antenna elements which are configured in a reflectarray geometry.

Robustness and fragility of photonic bandgap in photonic amorphous diamond structures
155
Keiichi Edagawa
University of Tokyo (Japan)
Robustness and fragility of photonic bandgap (PBG) in disordered or modified photonic amorphous diamond
(PAD) structures have been investigated by numerical calculations. The original PAD has a rod-connected
random network strucrture with highly ordered local tetrahedral configuration. Our calculations indicated that
the PBG of PAD is robust against introduction of positional disorder but extremely fragile against fracmentation
of the network structure. PBG formation in a higher frequency region was newly found in a PAD structure of
isolated dielectric spheres.
Hyperuniformity and local self-uniformity: Photonics band gaps in disordered materials
Marian Florescu, Timothy Amoah, Steven Sellers
University of Surrey (United Kingdom)
Hyperuniform disordered photonic structures are a new class of photonic solids with controlled correlations
on a wide range of length scales. We explore the natural connection between hyperuniformity and photonic
band gaps in structures with a variety of topologies. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of strong isotropy
and local self-uniformity as a topological measure for connected disordered networks and demonstrate that
all champion photonic band structures can be classified using the local self-uniformity metric.
Transparency of dense hyperuniform systems
Romain Pierrat, Olivier Leseur, Remi Carminati
We show that materials made of scatterers distributed on a hyperuniform point pattern can be transparent at
densities for which an uncorrelated disordered material would be opaque due to multiple scattering. We give
a simple criterion to predict the transparency property of such a system. This opens new perspectives in the
control of waves in strongly disordered systems and for the design of photonic materials.
Photonic structures in nature: on order and disorder
Bodo D. Wilts
University of Fribourg (Switzerland)
The striking colors of many animals are due to structural color that arises from light scattered from ordered,
quasi-ordered and disordered material interfaces. Here, we will discuss various coloration mechanisms in
nature, from ordered structures showing remarkable iridescence to disordered structures that feature brilliant
whiteness due to optical scattering in randomly structured media.
Disorder to enhance and tailor the light-matter interaction
Pedro David Garcia Fernandez
Catalan Insitute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Spain)
Fabrication disorder is usually considered a nuisance in photonic nanostructures but it is essentially unavoidable. However, we can use it in our advantage to tailor the interaction between light and matter. Disorder can
be exploited to enhance the spontaneous emission of light and to obtain efficient lasing at the nanoscale.

We disentangle the role of short-range order and hyperuniformity in producing photonic band gaps. For this
purpose we study two-dimensional high refractive index disordered materials. The dielectric structure is derived from packing disks in real and reciprocal space. Our findings suggest that the band gap width can be
maximized by optimization of short-range order. Tailoring of Bragg scattering at the isotropic Brillouin zone is
discussed.

Michael Renner, Marie-Christine Angermann, Georg von Freymann

originally perfectly ordered samples by introducing deterministic aperiodic distortions following mathematical

Monte-Carlo simulations finding almost isotropic scattering.

We develop a theory of nonlinear organic plasmonics with strong laser pulses. The bistability response of the

in bistability of the surface localized polaritons. We propose the exciton control of Coulomb blocking in the

can be directly integrated in silicon-photonic nanocircuitry operating at telecom wavelengths. In spite of the
low Schottky barrier height, we show for the first time how to use this drawback to increase the responsivity

Boundary optical stress: pressure or tension?
Shubo Wang, C. T. Chan
Using a generic microscopic model, we show that the boundary stress induced by an electromagnetic plane

and permeability but also on the microscopic lattice symmetry of the polarizable units that constitute the
metamaterial. The lattice effect is attributed to electrostriction and magnetostriction which can be accounted
for by the Helmholtz stress tensor within the context of effective medium theory.

Graded-index lenses that exhibit strict global behavior, such as absolute optical instruments (where all ray
trajectories must be closed) can be difficult to mathematically construct because of the inherent one-way
nature of lens design: it’s easy to carry out raytracing when given an index profile, but much more difficult to
design a lens with a specified desired behavior. A few approaches to this problem will be discussed, along
with an extension of some techniques to optical force.
Strong coupling between waveguide-modes of opposite directionality: nearly-frozen light modes
S. Foteinopoulou

Conventional dielectric waveguides support forwards light modes, where the phase velocity is parallel to
the energy velocity. On the other hand, metamaterial waveguides having a negative refractive index support
backwards light modes, with anti-parallel phase and energy velocities. We will discuss, how these two individual native modes can strongly couple into a new exotic nearly-frozen light mode. This unconventional light
mode gives rise to an extra-ordinary mesoscale EM enhancement that is important to harnessing a strong

Leveraging the advantages of integrated optics for quantum photonics has led to a new functionality and
complexity. The inclusion of a source that delivers high efficiency single photons, such as a quantum dot,
is particularly attractive. We show here how a resonantly driven quantum dot can create indistinguishable
photons for use in on-chip quantum optics experiments. Further, we present a device where the source and
circuit, bonded together, create and manipulate quantum light at cryogenic temperatures.

Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin (Germany), 2 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark)
We theoretically investigate systems of optical cavities coupled to waveguides, which necessitates the introduction of non-trivial radiation conditions and normalization procedures. In return, the approach provides
simple and accurate modeling of Green functions, Purcell factors and perturbation corrections, as well as an
alternative approach to the so-called coupled mode theory. In combination, these results may form part of the
foundations for highly efficient, yet physically transparent models of light emission and propagation in both
classical and quantum integrated photonics.

One aspect of solid-state photonic devices that distinguishes them from their atomic counterparts is the unavoidable interaction between system excitations and lattice vibrations of the host material. I shall explain how
this coupling may lead to surprising departures in emission properties between solid-state and atomic systems. Specifically, I shall show that in solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics, interactions with the host
vibrational environment can generate quantum cavity- emitter correlations in regimes that are semiclassical
for atomic systems.

We discuss various aspects of Fano effects in hyrid nanostructures made of metallic nanoparticles, semiconductor quantum dots and molecules. The interaction between excitons and plasmons leads to the formation

nonlinear Fano effect, which appears in strong field regime and can be tuned by the incident field. The Fano

The process of laser induced self-organization of silicon clusters is used to fabricate large scale meta-surfaces
showing pronounced optical resonances in the infrared range of wavelengths. It is experimentally demonstrated that the efficiency of third harmonic generation in these systems can be 30 times higher than in spatially

While plasmonic metasurfaces with a monolayer metallic pattern are promising many novel applications,
extending the geometry to three dimensions allow even more diverse optical properties and applications. At

It is demonstrated that in the presence of gain and loss saturation effects, a PT-symmetric coupled arrangement is able to undergo a transition in reverse order to that expected from a linear model. This process was
observed in a set of semiconductor microring resonators by optically pumping one of the rings while keeping

When high-energy photons are absorbed within a metal, they generate a distribution of carriers at a significantly higher effective temperature than the surrounding lattice, so-called ’hot carriers.’ Before cooling,

Localized surface plasmon resonances appear on spherical subwavelength nanospheres around a frequency
for which the real part of the dielectric function is -2. For silver, this takes place at around 356 nm. As the size of
the sphere increases, this resonance will be red-shifted. However, regarding this shift, the size matters much

We investigate the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to surface plasmons on a metal surface, described
using a continuous media model with a non-local Lindhard dielectric response. The time evolution is found by
solving quantum dynamical equations in the rotating wave approximation. The solution demonstrates that the
non-locality in the dielectric response and the Landau damping notably change the system dynamics. The
time evolution reveals Rabi oscillations and follows a two-time relaxation pattern.

The transmittance of two planar multilayer stacks is computed. When 537nm red light impinges on the stacks,
the transmittance of Si3N4/Ag(46nm)/water stack vanishes, while the transmittance of Si3N4/Ag(46nm)/water(2nm)/Si3N4
is about 0.13 percent. If we combine these two stacks in parallel with each other, the composite structure can
turn photons on and off at far fields. This suggests that the beam size and intensity of SPCE rely on the choice
of dielectric materials.

arrays illuminated from the substrate under total internal reflection conditions, for which we predict complete
absorption for certain configurations.

In plasmonic nano-sensors, the sensitive dependence of the plasmon resonance wavelength on the refractive
index near the surface of an optical nano-antenna can be used as a detection principle. In the presented work,
lithographically fabricated arrays of vertical dimer antennas are integrated in microfluidic channels. The dimer
surfaces are functionalized by antibodies for the specific binding of target molecules from the liquid. Shifts of

Plasmonic nanosensors for molecular optical detection have been widely investigated in the past, opening
unique possibilities for single molecule spectroscopy under ambient conditions. We present here the development of a practical implementation capable of low-cost robust real-time single-molecule sensitivity.

We developed a template transfer technique for fabrication of large-area freestanding gold nanomembrane
with an array of holes with nanoscale diameter and periodicity. The freestanding membrane shows enhanced
transmission compared to a membrane with the same features on a substrate. It is able to be attached on
arbitrary curved surfaces and used for patterning nanoparticles. This membrane can also be cut and folded
to 3D structures with dynamically and precisely controlled attitude.

In the Sagle group, we are working with novel liposome-based SERS substrates, in which probe molecules are
encapsulated in the liposome component, rather than tethered to or sandwiched between metallic surfaces.
Characterization of these substrates shows extremely high field enhancement of 108-109, and good substrate
fidelity and measurement reproducibility. The biocompatibility of these substrates is evaluated through the
incorporation and structural characterization horse heart cytochrome c.

We present a microwave plasmon-based method to enable the excitation of the prohibited modes of dielectric
resonators (DRs). A meander transmission line is implemented to couple the microwave plasmon modes to a
DR. Resonating at the prohibited modes, the DR acts like parallel magnetic dipoles and with benefiting from
high efficient coupling, it make promises for application as antennas and filters in microwave communication
systems.

Ning Zhou, Dongsheng Li, Deren Yang
We report on the observation of Rabi splitting of approximately 123 meV in photoluminescence spectra as
175
an indication of strong coupling between excited states of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and localized
surface plasmon modes of silver nanoshells under nonresonant nanosecond pulsed laser excitation at room

polaritons when tuning the silver nanoshell plasmon energies across the exciton line of the QDs.
P14: Annealing Studies of Gold Plasmonic Nanostructured Arrays
Matthew Nicholson, Robert Bowman, Antony Murphy, Robert Pollard
We investigate the plasmonic and physical properties of gold plasmonic nanostructured arrays when annealed
at various temperatures. The annealing of the gold nanorods yielded destruction of the array, however this was
avoided when embedded in an alumina template or encased with a nickel shell. The plasmonic resonance of
the gold was also enhanced in the alumina template.
P15: Active modulation of visible light with graphene-loaded ultrathin metal plasmonic antennas
Renwen Yu, Valerio Pruneri, Javier Garcia de Abajo
Electro-optical modulation of visible and near-infrared light is important for a wide variety of applications,
ranging from communications to sensing and smart windows. However, currently available approaches result
in rather bulky devices, suffer from low integrability, and can hardly operate at the low power consumption and
fast switching rates of microelectronic drivers. Here we show that planar nanostructures patterned in ultrathin
metal-graphene hybrid films sustain highly tunable plasmons in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions.
P16: New approaches in the design of quantum sources
Carlos Sanchez Munoz, Juan Camilo Lopez Carreno, Fabrice P. Laussy, Elena del Valle
We present a guiding principle to enhance quantum emitters or even bring them to new regimes of operation, that consists in exploiting their correlations in energy instead of indiscriminately averaging over the full
lineshape of emission. We propose an N-photon emitter based on the mere Purcell enhancement of such
processes and show how-using quantum light not only as the output but also as part of a device-one can
greatly increase its figures of merit.

respect to resolution, degrees of freedom and number of modes is investigated. Special attention is paid to
the influence of the size of the computational domain. Convergence is not obtained for some of the methods,

heterostructure. While the ultrafast dynamics of this system have been actively investigated for spintronics and
acoustics, their magnetoplasmonic properties are rarely explored. We demonstrate that this bilayered structure exhibits magnetoplasmonics, and have potential to be an interesting target for further research, such as
nonlinear magnetoplasmonics or coupling with other ultrafast properties.

By adjuesting the sequences, this metamaterial can easily form different reflection and scattering pattern.
A wideband and low-reflection-and-scattering THz metamaterial is exampled to demonstrate the use and
ability of the coding metamaterial. Both the simulation and experiments show the reflectivity less than -10dB
is achieved in a wide frequency range of 0.8-1.4 THz and is insemsitive to the polarization of incident wave.

Joel M. Katzen, Antony Murphy, Robert Pollard, Fumin Huang
We report achieving optimal and reproducible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with plasmonic systems of nanoparticle-on-mirror geometry. Such systems produce robust nanometer-scale interparticle
gaps that can be precisely controlled with dielectric spacing layers. A systematic investigation is carried out
with a variety of nanoparticles, excitation wavelengths and molecules, which demonstrates that optimal and
reproducible SERS is achievable at separations around 1 nm. The results are significantly important for developing ultrasensitive molecular sensors and many other plasmonic applications, including nonlinear effects.

The isolation function in coplanar technology can be carried out by a CPW line with an assymetric geometry,
in which one of the ground planes is engraved by an array of gaps with micrometric width. Such a structure
shows a good isolation in the X an Ku bands, about 50 dB, and relatively weak insertion losses. The influence
of the parameters of the array over device performances is explored.

Shaolin Ke, Bing Wang, Peixiang Lu
We investigate the exceptional points (EPs) in non-parity-time-symmetric plasmonic waveguide arrays composed of monolayer graphene sheets. The intrinsic loss of graphene deforms the diffraction relation in the

SWG waveguides are lossless in theory, but implementations in the SOI platform have shown that they can exhibit additional losses, coming from the leakage to the substrate. This work provides the first thorough analysis
of leakage losses in SWG waveguides, establishing a direct relation between the synthesized effective index
of the guided mode and its leakage losses. This relation, numerically and experimentally demonstrated, is
shown to be independent of the geometrical parameters that define the SWG waveguide.

Evgeni A. Bezus, Leonid L. Doskolovich, Victor A. Soifer
On-chip diffraction gratings for surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) consisting of a periodic set of dielectric
ridges located on the metal surface are studied. Simulation results demonstrate that the SPP diffraction on
an on-chip grating with parasitic scattering suppression is very close to the diffraction of a TE-polarized plane
wave on a conventional grating. Presented results can be used for the design of efficient 2D optical elements
for steering SPP propagation.

On-chip Bragg gratings (BG) and phase-shifted Bragg gratings (PSBG) for Bloch surface waves (BSW) propagating along the interface between a one-dimensional photonic crystal and a homogeneous medium are
theoretically and numerically studied. Rigorous simulation results demonstrate the possibility of using the proposed on-chip PSBG for temporal and spatial differentiation of BSW pulses and beams. The obtained results

We demonstrate that gradientless light fields can exert pulling force on a dipolar particle located on a plasmonic interface. The forces acting against the propagation of light arise due to the amplification of the photon
linear momentum when surface plasmon polaritons are excited at the plasmonic interface. This effect can be
utilized for effective optomechanical control of nano-objects over metallic surfaces.

We demonstrate experimentally and describe theoretically the strong directional emission and absorption
of light by III-V semiconductor nanowires mediated by the resonant coupling to guided and leaky modes
in the cylindrical structure. The coupling to these eigenmodes of the nanowires depends strongly on their
diameter and length, which opens a rich spectrum of possibilities for the control of the direction, efficiency
and polarization of the emission and absorption of light.
P34: Reshaping Electromagnetic Emissions with Meta-substrate based on Spoof Plasmons
Yao Gao, Agnes Maurel, Abdel Ourir
We investigate the efficiency of a metasurface supporting spoof plasmons to control the electromagnetic
emission of a radiating element. The three dimensional metasurface is made of an array of metallic grounded

same phase velocity. Surface impedance characterization allows field radiation towards broadside direction.
Two orthogonal modes in phase quadrature are employed to excite structure, obtaining both right-hand or

Integration of optical nanoantennas holds promise for a significant boost of performance of quantum emitters
as nonclassical light sources. Moreover, nanoantennas can be exploited to engineer the emission characteristics, or even quantum properties of light, such as statistics or degree of entanglement. These applications
are here proposed and discussed within the cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) framework. It allows
to account for nanoantennas, whose spectra are characterized with multiple resonances, coupled to two- or

A previous study of the directional conditions of the scattering is carried out in order to obtain the optimum

different ratio for forward/backward scattering depending on plane wave excitation propagation direction. At
the frequency 7 GHz the metasurface transmission characteristics exhibit a 2pi phase change in the reflection
spectrum while the measured amplitude of the reflection coefficient is close to 1.

We report wavelength dependence of photo-induced voltage in nanoporous gold (NPG) thin films induced
by obliquely incident laser beam radiation in visible frequencies on the film for longitudinal configuration. The
results show that for 450 - 500 nm p- polarized incedent light, voltage is negative and for 500 - 600 nm its sign
changes to positive. The origin of this sign change may be due to change in dielectric constant of the film and
surface plasmon polariton excitation by p-polarized light.

Full optical switch is an important element in developing photonic on-chip integration. In this talk, compact
switches were proposed and demonstrated based on the interference of surface plasmons polaritons (SPP)
on free metal surface and in waveguides. Additionally, an interesting composite interference was observed

The magneto-chiral effect occurs in magnetic chiral media, and can be detected by use of polarised light.
Although this effect is of interest in the study of the light matter interaction, it has not been studied in depth
because of the important magnetic field needed to observe it, and the weakness of the effect. Hybrid plasmonic nanostructures were used to detect a magneto chiral effect, at low magnetic field.

Protein levels in human serum are an attractive target for early diagnostics and sensors due to the direct
correlation of these protein concentrations to diseases/infections. Due to human serum containing more than

Gilles Rosolen, Bjorn Maes
Graphene is a promising material for sensor applications thanks to its strong light-matter interaction and its
high tunability by doping. We investigate varyingly doped graphene nano-disks in a dimer configuration and
demonstrate a complex absorption response arising from hybridization of dark modes. The resonances can
be further enhanced and sharpened when a graphene ribbon links the two dimers, with a tunable resonance
wavelength enabled by the junction doping.

High refractive index materials such as silicon are of paramount importance due to their rich spectral properties and their application in directional coupling of electromagnetic wave. This directionality can be enhanced
remarkably by taking advantage of the interference of electric and magnetic resonances of the scatterer. Based on this strong directional light emission, we now present a novel position sensing technique, enabling
Angstrom localization accuracy (lateral), which can find applications in nanometrology and super-resolution
microscopy techniques.

We present on the basis of the jellium model a quantum field theory of surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in
which they emerge as extended objects as a result of an inhomogeneous condensation of bosons around a
topological singularity describing the surface. The benefit of this approach lies in relating the electromagnetic fields belonging to such a macroscopic quantum state with the surface topology and nonlocal response

Traditionally, the design of metamaterials has been inspired by the assembly of periodically spaced building
blocks. Here, I will discuss a new class of optical materials, dubbed network metamaterials. The key design
principle is a sub-wavelength network with functional connectivity. We demonstrate that network metamaterials harbor unexpected optical properties, such as structural color. We discuss the physical origin of these

Rapid developments in the emerging field of stretchable and conformable photonics necessitate analytical
expressions for boundary conditions at metasurfaces of arbitrary geometries. Here, we introduce the concept
of conformal boundary optics, a design theory that determines the optical response for designer input and
output fields at interfaces of arbirary shapes.
Metasurface for the creation of surface plasmon vortex and towards multi-functional optofluidics
C.-Y. Lin, C.-F. Chen, C.-T. Ku, C.-B. Huang
National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan)
The generation of optical vortices using plasmonics has drawn immense recent research attentions. However,
in the past, these near-field vortices carrying orbital angular momentum were excited by waves that carry spin
angular momentum, i.e., circularly polarized waves. In this talk, we will introduce the advantage of a designed
metasurface, in which vortices could be created under linearly polarized excitations. We will also illustrate the
applications of such novel device for multiple selective controls to micro-particles.
Electrically Tunable Metasurface Absorber
Juhyung Kang, Junghyun Park, Mark L. Brongersma
Stanford University (USA)
We propose an electrically tunable optical absorber in the infrared regime by using the indium-tin-oxide (ITO)
as the electrically tunable material in the metal-insulator-metal cavities which support localized surface plasmons. The depletion and accumulation operations at the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) wavelength regime of the
ITO give rise to dramatic changes in the carrier concentration in the ITO, which in turn lead to unprecedentedly
substantial changes in the optical absorption.

Optical nonlinearities are intrinsically weak, but can be strengthened in scenarios that provide field enhancement mechanisms. Hybrid structures combining the high inherent material nonlinearity of semiconductors
along with plasmonic-induced strong fields are promising platforms for on-chip nonlinear optics. However,
due to their complexity, understanding the mechanisms involved is sometimes challenging. Here, the spectral response of metal dimers loaded with an ITO nanoparticle at their gap is investigated numerically and
experimentally to provide an understanding and design rules.
Plasmonic Metasurfaces for the Near-Field Directional Control of Light Emission
Roberto Paiella, Leonard Kogos, Jeff DiMaria

The use of plasmonic metasurfaces to control the radiation properties of nearby emitters is investigated with
two related approaches. First, off-axis unidirectional beaming is demonstrated using an array of asymmetric
metallic nanoparticles coupled to an ultrathin metal film. Second, light emission near a gradient metasurface
is studied numerically, showing that geometrically tunable directional radiation patterns can be obtained at
highly enhanced emission rates.

A hot surface can lose heat by radiation but if in close proximity to another surface, phonons can also tunnel across the gap mediated by van der Waals forces. We have developed a new formulism for calculating
this contribution to heat flow and will compare to other mechanisms such as near field heat transfer and
conventional thermal radiative cooling.

We present the first measurements of sub-femtonewton forces in fluid. The measurements, which we show
to be limited only by room temperature thermal noise, are about two orders of magnitude more sensitive than
has been previously reported. We apply our technique to measure the optical force on a microsphere in the
presence of an evanescent wave. The results are in quantitative agreement with Mie theory predictions and
the first such confirmation of its kind.
Significance of the electromagnetic spin and orbital-angular-momentum conservation: The optical

Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas

be responsible for the particle spinning. Also we show the contribution of the spatial structure and polarization
of the wave to this torque, unknown to this date.

We investigate directed-assembly of plasmonic gold nanoplates in a tightly focused beam. We demonstrate
the reconfigurability of the assembly by altering the applied phase gradient via holographic beam shaping.
The slower motion of the nanoplates as compared with plasmonic nanospheres allows for a precise study of
their assembly/disassembly dynamics. We witness a strong correlation of their motion far from the center of

We propose the manipulation of the states of polarization and the spin angular momentum (SAM) flux of radially polarized beams (RPBs) by anisotropic nonlinear Kerr media. We investigate the vectorial self-diffraction
behavior of the RPBs induced by an anisotropic Kerr nonlinearity. Numerical studies demonstrate that the selfdiffraction patterns with a four-fold rotational symmetry have hybrid polarization and the interaction of RPBs
with the anisotropic Kerr media results in a redistribution of the SAM flux in the far-field plane.

The departure from strict periodic order in dielectric materials can offer properties that are inaccessible to
perfectly ordered photonic crystals (PhC). Herewith, we investigate the circular dichroism of the single Gyroid
PhC in the presence of spatial distortions. FDTD simulations and microwave transmission measurements on

We present the first experimental observation of a topological transition in a non-Hermitian system. We monitor the topological transition by employing bulk dynamics only. Moreover, we demonstrate, theoretically and
experimentally, topological interface states in a PT-symmetric system. The PT-symmetric structure has unbroken PT symmetry, i.e., all eigenvalues in the spectrum are real, despite the system’s non-Hermiticity. The
non-Hermitian behavior is engineered by inducing bending loss by spatially wiggling every second waveguide.

Recently, parity-time (PT) symmetric optics has become an emerging field which allows a controlled interplay
between real and imaginary parts of refractive index. We experimentally synthesize one kind of unidirectional
reflectionless optical metamaterial on a silicon chip where reflection from one side is significantly suppressed near the spontaneous PT phase transition point. In addition, on the same platform, we experimentally
realize passive PT photonic lattices where we observe complex Bloch oscillations that have no counterpart in
Hermitian lattices.

We consider the effect of velocity dependent loss processes on the scattering of ultracold matter-waves. Due
to the loss, the entire process can be viewed as non-Hermitean four-wave-mixing of matter waves. We find
that suitable loss can actually strengthen certain scattering processes that would otherwise be suppressed by
energy and momentum conservation and explore to what extend this effect can be put to use for atom optical
applications.

We show spontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking in two coupled photonic crystal nanolasers. This is the
first experimental demonstration of such transition in micro/nanophotonics. A pitchfork bifurcation exhibits
two localized states, whose coexistence has been shown by optical switching with short pulses. This opens
194
exciting avenues for integrated optical flip-flop memories. In addition, the symmetry breaking bifurcation has
been observed with only =100 intracavity photons, which makes this system promising to investigate nonclassical photon correlations.

We introduce a new type of nonlinear waves in inhomogeneous photonic systems. Such waves have constant
intensity in all space and exist only in complex potentials with gain and loss. Based on these exact solutions of
nonlinear Schrodinger equation, we examine theoretically their modulation instability on parity-time symmetric
potentials with cubic nonlinearities. We also investigate the stability and dynamics of vector constant-intensity
waves as solutions of a two-component nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

Deirdre M. O’Carroll, Zeqing Shen, Christopher Petoukhoff, Katsuya Noji, Ankur Dalsania
Rutgers University (USA)
To improve energy conversion efficiency in thin-film organic optoelectronics, light management using nanophotonic structures is necessary. Here, our recent work on improving light trapping and light extraction in organic semiconductor thin films using nanostructured silver plasmonic metasurfaces will be presented. Numerous optical phenomena, such as absorption induced scattering, out-of-plane waveguiding and morphologydependent surface plasmon outcoupling, are identified due to exciton-plasmon coupling between the organic
semiconductor and the metasurface.

Zhejiang University (China), 2 University of Otago (New Zealand)
Plasmonic resonances in individual gold nanorod-film coupled system have been investigated. The spectral
shapes are significantly modified by the gap distance. These modifications arise from the hybridization of
several dipolar and multipolar plasmon modes that are strongly localized at the gap in sub-20nm domain.
When the gap distance is increased further, scattering characteristics of such nanorod-film coupled system
are highly dependent on illumination conditions due to interference. Finally we propose an application of the
studied system in facilitating photo-thermal conversion.

When electromagnetic waves strongly interact with metallic nanostructures, it can couple to free electrons
near the metal surface resulting in complex linear and nonlinear responses with fundamental and high-order
harmonic generation. Interestingly, the complex motion of electrons in metallic nanostructures resembles that
of fluids governed by the same hydrodynamic equation. In this work, the nonlinear response from metallic nanostructures governed by the special selection rules is understood by a finite-difference time-domain solution
to the Maxwell-hydrodynamic equations.

We show that the properties of plasmonic materials (and also different plasmonic waveguide geometries)
have to be understood using a two-dimensional graph combining two figures-of-merit: the propagation length
and the confinement strength. In this way, one can naturally account for the trade-off between propagation
length and confinement that is typically observed for plasmonic materials. Our analysis provides guidance on
how to improve the performance of any particular plasmonic application and substantially eases the selection
of the plasmonic material.
18:10 : Plasmonic and thermal properties of TiN/Au core-shell nanoparticles
Stacey Drakeley, William Hendren, Robert Bowman, Fumin Huang
We report a systematic experimental investigation on the optical and thermal properties of TiN/Au core shell
nanoparticles. Coating Au nanoparticles with TiN creates hybrid core-shell structures, which show strong
surface plasmon resonance effects. The plasmonic resonance of such nanoparticles is found to be tunable
with TiN thickness. The thermal properties of such hybrid nanoparticles were also systematically investigated
and compared to bare Au nanoparticles. The results will be significant for key applications such as heatassisted magnetic recording.

The fluorescence enhancement of a single quantum dot by a plasmonic gold nanocone antenna was studied
experimentally. We show that the photophysics of the quantum dot is modified by the large enhancement
of the radiative decay rate. By taking the modified photophysics into account, we extract the radiative and
nonradiative decay rates from the experimental data. We demonstrate that a large radiative decay rate enhancement of the order of one hundred and a high quantum efficiency are achieved simultaneously.

In this work we show that the nonlinear response of Helmholtz resonators, can be used to control coherent
perfect absorption of sound waves in an acoustical waveguide. Three different configurations are studied, and
in all cases we find analytical expressions for the conditions leading to perfect absorption for high amplitude
incident waves. Experimental results are found in a good agreement with our predictions. The nonlinear
control of perfect absorption opens new possibilities in the design of high amplitude sound attenuators.

We investigate the properties of phononic crystal plates with hollow pillars and introduce the existence of
whispering-gallery modes. We show that, when tuning the inner radius of the hollow pillar, WGMs can merge
inside both Bragg and low frequency band gaps, deserving phononic crystal and acoustic metamaterial applications. By increasing quality factors, the confined WGMs are applied to wavelength division in multiplexer
devices using heteroradii pillars introduced into waveguide and cavity structures.

We experimentally demonstrated multi-particle trapping and patterning assisted by phononic crystal plates.
Polystyrene particles with sub-millimeter size can self-pattern in, for example, the square, triangular or quasiperiodic arrays, depending on the structures of the phononic crystal plates with varying sub-wavelength holes
array. The analysis shows that the resonant transmission field highly localized near the sub-wavelength apertures, yields a negative acoustic radiation force on the nearby particle. We expect this system may pave a
new route for particle self-assembly.

edge states under T-symmetry, scattering immune to boundary defects, such as abrupt variations. The very
unique thing is the formation of pseudo-spin-dependent interface states due to lattice dislocations. The mechanism underlying the formation of topologically protected boundary states in AFI is applicable in various
other wave systems or higher dimensions.

The applications of propagating surface plasmon waves in the SERS
Lierong Yuan, Lei Zhang, Qianjin Wang, Yongyuan Zhu, Yanqing Lu, Xuejin Zhang
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have low loss with great potential for surface-enhanced Raman scattering
(SERS) applications. We take subwavelength metallic grating as an example, which is a simple and effective
structure to increase the enhancement factor (EF) of the SERS. Enormous electric field enhancement can
be realized by the optimization of material, structure and technology, which is investigated by both finitedifference time-domain simulation and SERS EF measurements.

A compact high-Q surface-wave resonator is demonstrated at sub-THz in 65nm CMOS. This magnetic metamaterial achieves a significant reduction of radiation loss at sub-THz by further stacking additional resonator
unit-cell which has opposite placement with respect to the existing resonator. A 140GHz oscillator is then
designed by incorporating the surface-wave resonator as low loss loading, demonstrating confinement of EM

Here we report fundamental scaling laws for optoelectronic devices including nanophotonics and plasmonics.
We show how the underlying optical cavities directly influences the performance of four classes of photonic
devices, namely laser sources, electro-optic-modulators, photodetectors, and all-optical switches. We observe
non-monotonic performance behavior upon down-scaling, which is a result of balancing the optical losses
and providing cavity feedback highlighting the physical tradeoff between optical loss management and field
confinement.

SPPs under normal incidence. By properly arranging the nanoantennas according to the required phase and
amplitude distribution of a SPP wavefront, any SPP beam with even complex profile can be generated. The
metasurface can also be designed to realize broadband, polarization-controlled tunable directional excitation
of SPPs.

Mikhail Kats

The mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range has recently become more important for both applications and fundamental science. However, compared to their counterparts in the visible, optical components in the mid-IR
are still significantly under-developed. We create tunable optical components for the mid-IR by incorporating phase transition materials that respond to temperature, current, or applied electric field into photonic

In this contribution, we demonstrate that phase coexistence can be artificially introduced in VO2 by patterned
local ion beam irradiation with spatial resolution much smaller than the wavelength of light. This results in a
metasurface with effective optical properties that can be predicted applying an appropriate effective medium

The ability to engineer the optical phase at subwavelength dimensions has led to metasurfaces that provide unprecedented control of electromagnetic waves. To reach their ultimate potential, metasurfaces must
incorporate reconfigurable functions. The central challenge is achieving large tunability in subwavelength elements. Here, we describe three different approaches for achieving order-unity index: free-carrier refraction,

Solid state quantum emitters are excellent candidates for on-chip quantum light emission, as they promise
ultra-compact integration into complex devices and a vast flexibility of engineering their properties via advanced crystal growth and lithography techniques. While In(Ga)As quantum dots probably can still be considered
as the prime example of a quantum emitter in solid, the emergent class of two dimensional transition metal

HAMR and the Future of Hard Drives
Roberto F. Garcia, Mark Gubbins
Seagate Technology (United Kingdom)
Hard drives with HAMR technology will store significantly higher areal densities around 1.5Tbit per square inch
initially and will be able to store noticeably more data than today’s HDDs featuring perpendicular recording
technology. Eventually we expect that HAMR will help to increase bit densities of hard disk drives to 5Tbit per
205
square inch. In this presentation, we will give an introduction to the HAMR technology and its impact on the
actual hard disk technology industry.
Plasmonic and thermal properties of transition metal nitride/noble metal core-shell nanoparticles
Fumin Huang, Stacey Drakeley, Muigahid Ali, William Hendren, Robert M. Bowman
We report a systematic investigation on the optical and thermal properties of core-shell nanoparticles composed of noble metal nanoparticles coated with transition metal nitrides. Plasmonic properties of such core-shell
nanoparticles are strongly dependent on the thickness and the materials of the coating layer. We also investigate the thermal properties of such hybrid nanoparticles and compare them to bare noble nanoparticles.
The results show significantly improved stability, which could be important for key applications such as heatassisted magnetic recording.
Refractory Plasmonic Materials for Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording
Alexandra Boltasseva, Urcan Guler, Alexander V. Kildishev, Ernesto E. Marinero, Vladimir M. Shalaev
Refractory plasmonic materials offer superior mechanical, thermal and structural stability advantages over noble metal plasmonic antennas for heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). Whereas these inherent advantages position these materials as leading candidates for potential replacement of Au in HAMR nano-antenna
fabrication, their bulk optical properties result in significant self-heating. In this presentation we will describe
our progress in manipulating the optical properties of refractory plasmonic nanostructures to circumvent this
limitation.

We propose a novel all-dielectric near field transducer, which focuses the light, pumped through the waveguide, into a hot spot, which is much smaller than the wavelength, without dissipative loss inevitable in the
plasmonic nanoantennae.Therefore, the detrimental thermal effects almost vanish, which gives an opportunity
to use the concentrator for the heat-assistedmagnetic recording (HARM).

We introduce the notion of non-Hermitian wave mixing and show that it can be utilized to achieve efficient
nonlinear energy transfer between different optical modes even in the absence of the usual phase matching condition. We discuss the optical implementation of this concept in waveguide platforms and plasmonic

This paper discusses the use of heavily-doped III/V semiconductors as the building blocks for infrared plasmonic and metamaterial devices. We begin by demonstrating the ability to tune the optical properties of our
materials by changing the electron doping density, leading to designer low-loss infrared plasmonic materials
with plasma wavelengths spanning the mid-infrared. We then describe plasmonic devices created with these
materials, including plasmonic nanoantennas and perfect absorbers. Finally, we describe recent work using

Both optical and electrical gains can be obtained when the metal nanoparticles are incorporated into the solar

Design of structured materials is hindered by lengthy computational time and a plethora of possible microstructures. Modeling a structured material is expensive in terms of computing memory, time and cost. One
needs to have the right structure or topology combined with the adequate materials responding to engineering requirements of permittivity, permeability. We demonstrate the use of a proprietary software used to find

In Magnetic Resonance Imaging at ultra-high field, transmit-array RF coils (antennas) are preferred to homogenize the transmitted field. Strong coupling occurs between transmit array elements. A passive decoupling
solution is proposed based on a metamaterial solution. This structure composed of stacked magnetic resonators was studied for the decoupling of two adjacent dipoles at a proton Larmor frequency of 297.2 MHz.
The structure increased the decoupling of 13.3 dB, and increased the flip angle values in a 7T MRI scanner.

An original concept of Ultra High Field MRI coil is presented. We take profit of the hybridization between four
half-wavelength resonators to change a simple surface coil antenna into a volume coil. The device acting as a
magnetic field enhancer (MFE) considerably increases the performance of a loop coil for magnetic resonance
imaging. MFE is analyzed in terms of coupling of 4 electrical modes. The performances of the device are
evaluated in vitro and in vivo.

Additionally, the understanding and impact of particle density fluctuations on the effective optical properties

Controlling the optical energy flow inside random media is a research frontier of photonics. In spite of their
success, random lasers still lack external tunability, reproducibility, and control over the beam spatial pattern,
thus hindering their application in practical devices. Here we show that a graphene random metamaterial
provides the means to overcome these limitations through its extraordinarily-low threshold for saturable absorption leading to efficient self-organization of the emitted light.

The propagation of electromagnetic waves through a one-dimensional periodic heterostructureof bilayers with

In this work we investigate the electromagnetic wave propagation in a PT-symmetric hypercrystal composed
of hyperbolic metamaterial layers separated by dielectric media with balanced loss and gain. The effect of the
loss/gain level on the evolution of dispersion curves is considered. It is shown that the scattering properties

We extend the generalized conservation law of light propagating in a one-dimensional PT-symmetric system to
a multimode system with either PT or RT symmetry, in which higher dimensional investigations are necessary.
These conservation laws exist not only in a matrix form for the transmission and reflection matrices, they also
exist in a scalar form for generalized transmittance and reflectance.

An atom with a resonant transition can capture the energy of a single photon and store it in the excited energy

absorb sunlight efficiently and photocurrent is generated from titanium nitride thin films by optical illumination. Our calculations based on first-principles density functional theory are successful in calculating optical
properties of transition metal nitrides.
Metal alloys for plasmonics applications
Marina S. Leite
We determine the optical properties of noble metal thin-film alloys composed by Ag, Au, Cu and Al, by combining ellipsometry and SPP measurements and calculations, and find an excellent agreement between the
two experimental methods. Surprisingly, in some cases, the quality factor of the alloy is substantially higher
than their pure counterparts. We also quantify the dispersion relation for the alloys, providing a library of the
alloys’ optical response.

Jian-Gang (Jimmy) Zhu, Hai Li
Carnegie Mellon University (USA)
In this paper, we primarily review the fundamental recording physics of heat-assisted magnetic recording
(HAMR), the leading candidate for next generation of hard disk drives. Multiple noise origins and its underlying mechanism are discussed and compared, along with recently focused noise, transition curvature. From
grain behavior to system optimization, various aspects are visited to validate and apply the recording physics
theorem via systematic micromagnetic modeling.

Here we will present our recent work on guiding, slowing down, and exciting plasmonic mode on a graphene
surface based on various nanostructures. Our results show that plasmonic wave localization in graphene is
also followed by a strong optical field enhancement due to the significant reduction of the group velocity of

As a fundamental electrostatic limit, the space charge limit (SCL) for photocurrent is a universal feature
and of paramount importance in organic semiconductors with unbalanced electron/hole mobility and high
exciton generation. Here, we propose a new concept of plasmonic-electrical effect to manipulate the electrical
properties (photocarrier generation, recombination, transport, and collection) of semiconductor devices with
the help of plasmonically induced light redistribution.

MRI of the body at 7T or higher requires dedicated antenna arrays. This work is presenting two alternative
antenna designs for this purpose. One design increases the space between the antenna and the patient
resulting in enhanced, but still acceptable, coupling levels. The other design uses sinusoidally shaped antenna
legs and is therefore called ’snake antenna’. Both designs have demonstrated good imaging performance and
equal or better transmit efficiency while realizing up to 45 percent lower SAR levels.

Three-dimensional connected metallic wire meshes are impenetrable by light in the long wavelength limit and

Nano-optomechanics with subwavelength light fields
Juha Muhonen, Rick Leijssen, Freek Ruesink, Lars Freisem, Giada La Gala, Randy Meijer, Rutger
Thijssen, Ewold Verhagen
Optomechanical interactions provide a wealth of opportunities to control optics and mechanics. We exploit
the extreme optomechanical interaction strengths offered by subwavelength field confinement to create large
optical forces and sensitive readout of mechanical motion. We show that in this large coupling regime, the
optomechanical transduction becomes highly nonlinear, even for thermal motion. This provides a path to
the creation of quantum states of motion. Moreover, these systems can be used to establish nonreciprocal
acoustic transport in optomechanical metamaterials.

The working principle of microwave imaging is based on the dielectric contrast between the malignant tumor
tissues and the healthy ones. This paper presents a numerical study of a system based on ultra-wide band

Perfect compensation of absorption in metamaterials for diffraction-unlimited imaging
Wyatt Adams, Durdu Guney
Michigan Technological University (USA)
To overcome the resolution limit of conventional optics, near field imaging techniques using a negative index
flat lens (NIFL) have been previously developed that amplify the evanescent components of the incident
field. Here, a technique is developed and demonstrated to compensate for losses in a non-ideal NIFL by
determining the transfer function of the lens and subsequently applying the inverse to the unresolved raw
image. The result is a compensated image with sub-diffraction-limited resolution.

Wave propagation in non-Hermitian system show numerous novel phenomena such as asymmetric diffraction, unidirectional invisibility and many more. In this talk, by using PT symmetry concept onto some active

We report on the observation of optically induced transparency (OIT) in a compact microresonator in an
ambient environment by introducing a four-wave mixing (FWM) gain to nonlinearly couple two separated
resonances of the micro-cavity. Its optical-controlling capacity and non-reciprocity characteristics at the transparency windows are also demonstrated. The FWM in microcavities can be described by an effective Hamiltonian whose square root singularity at an exceptional point enables a pseudo-Hermitian transition similar to

of the Stokes parameters. This outputs come from three silicon nanoantennas coupled to three waveguides,
so that each nanoantenna responds to a certain polarization state by changing the amount of optical power
coupled to each direction of propagation along the coupled waveguide.

We investigate the optical properties of Ag-Au nanoparticle chains embedded in a dielectric matrix by the
FDTD method. We show that it would be preferable to use pure metal (Ag or Au), instead of Ag-Au, to obtain
a maximum field enhancement. We also study the optimal gap between nanoparticles to have a maximum
field enhancement at the capping layer/air interface. It appears that a compromise has to be found to reach
the best field-enhancement effect.
