Polaritons in layered materials—including van der Waals materials—exhibit hyperbolic dispersion and strong field confinement, which makes them highly attractive for applications including optical ...

The AR glasses optical waveguide system consists of a display and an optical lens that uses TIR principles to transport light. Light is directed into and out of the lens at certain angles, which is ...

The aim of this work is to model the evolution of the modal distribution of the electromagnetic field as it propagates along a randomly deformed multimode optical waveguide. When the number of guided ...

Wave propagation in slowly varying guiding geometries is of fundamental importance across many disciplines, and can be described in terms of mutually uncoupled quasi-modes. These are a generalization ...

A decade ago, researchers at Cornell University reported an analytical device, which they called a zero-mode waveguide, for using light to detect single biomolecules in samples of any concentration.
