Graded-index optical dimer formed by optical force

Journal Article Akbarzadeh, Alireza ; Koschny, Thomas ; Kafesaki, Maria ; ... - Optics Express

We propose an optical dimer formed from two spherical lenses bound by the pressure that light exerts on matter. With the help of the method of force tracing, we find the required graded-index profiles of the lenses for the existence of the dimer. We study the dynamics of the opto-mechanical interaction of lenses under the illumination of collimated light beams and quantitatively validate the performance of the proposed dimer. We also examine the stability of the dimer due to the lateral misalignments and we show how restoring forces bring the dimer into lateral equilibrium. The dimer can be employed inmore »« less

Fundamentals of metasurface lasers based on resonant dark states

Journal Article Droulias, Sotiris ; Jain, Aditya ; Koschny, Thomas ; ... - Physical Review B

Recently, our group proposed a metamaterial laser design based on explicitly coupled dark resonant states in low-loss dielectrics, which conceptually separates the gain-coupled resonant photonic state responsible for macroscopic stimulated emission from the coupling to specific free-space propagating modes, allowing independent adjustment of the lasing state and its coherent radiation output. Due to this functionality, it is now possible to make lasers that can overcome the trade-off between system dimensions and Q factor, especially for surface emitting lasers with deeply subwavelength thickness. In this paper, we give a detailed discussion of the key functionality and benefits of this design, suchmore »« less

Dark-State-Based Low-Loss Metasurfaces with Simultaneous Electric and Magnetic Resonant Response

Journal Article Jain, Aditya ; James, Anthony R. ; Nogan, John ; ... - ACS Photonics

The realization of metamaterials or metasurfaces with simultaneous electric and magnetic response and low loss is generally very difficult at optical frequencies. Traditional approaches using nanoresonators made of noble metals, while suitable for the microwave and terahertz regimes, fail at frequencies above the near-infrared, due to prohibitive high dissipative losses and the breakdown of scaling resulting from the electron mass contribution (kinetic inductance) to the effective reactance of these plasmonic meta-atoms. The alternative route based on Mie resonances of high-index dielectric particles normally leads to structure sizes that tend to break the effective-medium approximation. Here, we propose a subwavelength dark-state-basedmore »« less

Experimental Demonstration of Dark‐State Metasurface Laser with Controllable Radiative Coupling

Journal Article Droulias, Sotiris ; Mohamed, Sughra ; Rekola, Heikki ; ... - Advanced Optical Materials

Abstract Lasing at the nanoscale using plasmonic nanoparticles offers the prospect of strong field concentration, hence strong light−matter interactions, low lasing thresholds, and ultrafast operation. However plasmonic nanoparticles suffer from high dissipative and radiative losses, the latter being rigidly tied to the shape of the nanoparticles and symmetry of their localized plasmon resonant modes. To overcome this limitation, recent theoretical work proposes using direct lasing into dark surface states to construct lasers that conceptually allow for independent implementation of the lasing state and its coherent radiation output. Here, lasing in dark resonant states of a metasurface laser and controllable coherentmore »« less

Pairing Toroidal and Magnetic Dipole Resonances in Elliptic Dielectric Rod Metasurfaces for Reconfigurable Wavefront Manipulation in Reflection

Journal Article Tsilipakos, Odysseas ; Tasolamprou, Anna C. ; Koschny, Thomas ; ... - Advanced Optical Materials

Abstract A novel approach for reconfigurable wavefront manipulation with gradient metasurfaces based on permittivity‐modulated elliptic dielectric rods is proposed. It is shown that the required 2π phase span in the local electromagnetic response of the metasurface can be achieved by pairing the lowest magnetic dipole Mie resonance with a toroidal dipole Mie resonance, instead of using the lowest two Mie resonances corresponding to fundamental electric and magnetic dipole resonances as customarily exercised. This approach allows for the precise matching of both the resonance frequencies and quality factors. Moreover, the accurate matching is preserved if the rod permittivity is varied, allowingmore »« less
