Sir John Brian PendryImperial College London, UK

Transformation optics, surface plasmons, and metasur-faces

Sir John B. Pendry is an English theoretical physicist educated at DowningCollege, Cambridge, UK, graduating with a Master of Arts degree in Na-tural 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 De-partment of Physics (1998 - 2001) and Principal of the Faculty of PhysicalSciences (2001 - 2002). John Pendry has made seminal contributions tosurface science, disordered systems and photonics. His most famous work

has introduced a new class of materials, metamaterials, whose electromagnetic properties depend ontheir internal structure rather than their chemical constitution. He discovered that a perfect lens manufac-tured 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 themetamaterial specifications required torearrange electromagnetic field configurations at will, by repre-senting the field distortions as a warping of the space in which they exist. In its simplest form the theoryshows 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 DiracPrize(1996), the Knight Bachelor (2004), the Royal Medal (2006), the Isaac Newton Medal (2013) andthe Kavli Prize (2014).

David R. SmithDuke University, USA

Translational Metamaterials Research : Taking Metamate-rials from the Laboratory to the Marketplace

David R. Smith is currently the James B. Duke Distinguished Professor ofElectrical and Computer Engineering Department at Duke University andDirector of the Center for Metamaterial and Integrated Plasmonics. He alsoholds the positions of Adjunct Associate Professor in the Physics Depart-ment at the University of California, San Diego, and Visiting Professor ofPhysics at Imperial College, London. Dr. Smith received his Ph.D. in 1994in Physics from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Dr. Smi-

th’s research interests include the theory, simulation and characterization of unique electromagneticstructures, including photonic crystals and metamaterials.Smith and his colleagues at UCSD demonstrated the first left-handed (or negative index) metamaterialat microwave frequencies in 2000–a material that had been predicted theoretically more than thirty yearsprior by Russian physicist Victor Veselago. No naturally occurring material or compound with a negativeindex-of-refraction had ever been reported until this experiment. In 2001, Smith and colleagues followedup 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–generatedenormous interest throughout the community in the possibility of metamaterials to extend and augmentthe properties of conventional materials. Both papers have now been cited nearly 4,000 times each.

Plenary Session I

Chaired by: Vladimir Shalaev

09:00 : Plenary talkNon-Hermitian photonics: PT symmetry and beyondDemetrios N. ChristodoulidesUniversity of Central Florida (USA)The idea of judiciously utilizing both optical gain and loss has been recently suggested as a means to controlthe flow of light. This proposition makes use of some newly developed concepts based on non-Hermiticity andparity-time (PT) symmetry. By harnessing such notions, recent works indicate that novel synthetic structuresand devices with counter-intuitive properties can be realized – potentially enabling new possibilities in thefield of optics and integrated photonics.

Poster session I

10:20 - 11:00

P1: Locally Self-uniform Photonic NetworksSteven Sellers1, Weining Man2, Marian Florescu1

1University of Surrey (United Kingdom), 2San Francisco State University (USA)Connections between geometry and optical properties help us understand light’s interaction with structuredmedia. Here we introduce local self-uniformity to explore fundamental physics and unlock advanced opticalcontrol. Local self-uniformity measures the internal spatial similarities of a random network and unites theset of observed photonic band gap structures. We demonstrate its significance by generating novel band gapamorphous gyroid networks and we present a naturally-occurring network with amorphous gyroid characterin the butterfly Pseudolycaena marsyas.

P2: Designing hyperuniform structures for efficient light harvestingGeorgios Gkantzounis, Marian FlorescuUniversity of Surrey (United Kingdom)Photonic crystals have been proven very efficient for light manipulation. Lately, this has become even moreefficient by the use of hyperuniform structures, which exhibit much richer Fourier spectra. We discuss a newapproach to the design of hyperuniform structures for explicitly targeting a given Fourier spectrum. We wereable to design large hyperuniform structures of different geometrical types and vanishing contribution to theradiative 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 propa-gation in 2D gold crystalsUpkar Kumar1, Universite Federale de Toulouse Viarbitskaya1, Aurelien Cuche1, Gerard Colas desFrancs2, Rafaelle Mezzenga3, Christian Girard1, Alexandre Bouhelier2, Erik Dujardin1

1Universite Federale de Toulouse (France), 2Universite de Bourgogne (France), 3ETH Zurich (Switzerland)We report on using two photon luminescence microscopy as an optical imaging technique for probing boththe spatial distribution of Surface Plasmon Local Density of States (SP-LDOS) and the transmission efficiencyinside chemically-grown crystalline gold platelets.

P4: Theory for the diffusion of light polarization in disordered media with short-range structural co-rrelationsKevin Vynck1, Romain Pierrat2, Remi Carminati21Bordeaux University (France), 2Institut Langevin (France)We develop a model based on multiple scattering theory to describe the diffusion of light polarization in a di-sordered medium exhibiting structural correlations. A radiative transfer equation for the polarization-resolvedspecific intensity is derived and solved analytically in the diffusion approximation. Our study reveals the intri-cate relation between light polarization and short-range structural correlations.

P5: Polarization statistics in disordered media:Modelization and measurementsMyriam Zerrad, Ayman Ghabbach, Gabriel Soriano, Quentin Ailloud, Claude AmraAix Marseille Universite (France)A statistical study of polarimetric parameters of the speckle scattered by a disordered media under cohe-rent illumination is presented. A dedicated metrology was developed to measure accurate histograms of thepolarization degree. Recorded data are compared to modelization and structural signatures are extracted toanalyze complex media.

P6: Metasurfaces becoming real: a new class of polarimetersAnders Pors, Sergey I. BozhevolnyiUniversity of Southern Denmark (Denmark)Based on appropriately designed phase-gradient birefringent metasurfaces, we introduce a new type of com-pact polarimeter that, unlike conventional approaches, allows one to easily analyze an arbitrary state of lightpolarization by conducting simultaneous (i.e., parallel) measurements of the corresponding diffraction intensi-ties. We experimentally demonstrate the functionality of the proposed device at a wavelength of 800nm, whilealso addressing extensions of the design concept to in-plane polarimeters and spectrally-resolved measure-ments.

P7: Extension of standard transfer-matrix method for three-wavemixing for plasmonic structuresArdi Loot, Vladimir HizhnyakovUniversity of Tartu (Estonia)Fast and accurate modelling of three-wave mixing processes in arbitrary stratified medium has significantpractical and scientific importance. Several attempts to generalize transfer-matrix method (TMM) for nonlinearinteractions have been made, however none suits for easy-to-use modelling of plasmonic structures whichrequires oblique angle of incidence, p-polarization and minimal approximations. In this work, an easy-to-useextension to standard TMM is proposed. The proposed method is used to study the strength of unconventionalplasmonic enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG).

P8: Fano and Induced Transparency in Plasmon Based Optical SensorsZouheir Sekkat1, Shinji Hayashi2

17


1Mohammed V University (Morocco), 2Osaka University (Japan)During the past few years, we have been involved in the study of optical sensors, in particular the plasmonicsensors, to achieve ultra-high sensitivities. As is well known, the sensitivity of the conventional surface plas-mon resonance (SPR) sensor based on a single layer of Au is not very high because of the broad lineshapeof the resonance. We propose here alternative ways to improve the sensitivity and to achieve extremely highsensitivities.

P9: Full-spectrum solar light absorbtion and photothermal conversion with Ge-Sn on black siliconYoshiaki Nishijima1, Ryosuke Komatsu1, Takuya Yamamura1, Gediminas Seniutinas1, Armandas Balcytis2,Saulius Juodkazis3

1Yokohama National University (Japan), 2Swinburne University ofTechnology (Australia), 3Swinburne Univer-sity of Technology (Australia)Harvesting entire solar light energy is desired for developing a sustainable energy supply for society. Solarcells still have unavoidable energy loss due to the heat generation. Also, transparency window for longerwavelength is not utilised for the photocurrent conversion. Here we demonstrate the photo-thermo-electricconversion system for the harvesting broad-band solar energy that can not be used in Si solar cell by directabsorption. Black silicon reducing the reflection of surface, and Ge-Sn layer is absorbing the full spectralwavelength of solar light.

P10: Hybrid surface plasmon modes in metallic nanostructures: Complete numerical analysis andapplication to bio-sensingMitradeep Sarkar1, Jean-Francois Bryche1, Raymond Gillibert1, Julien Moreau1, Mondher Besbes1,Aurore Olivero1, Gregory Barbillon1, Bernard Bartenlian1, Marc Lamy de la Chapelle2, Michael Canva1

1Universite Paris Sud (France), 2Universite Paris-Nord (France)We introduce a simple analytical model to predict the existence of all the different plasmonic modes and theirdispersion in a hybrid nano-structured geometry consisting of an array of metallic particles with an underlyingmetallic film. Such detailed description of plasmonic modes can offer a complete understanding of the surfaceplasmon resonance phenomena in such metallic structures and allows their optimization as per required forvarious applications such as SPR detection and SERS.

P11: Enhanced light emission in organic materials caused by constructive surface plasmon genera-tion and scatteringTakahiro Inui1, Yuhta Mizoguchi1, Takuya Yoneda1, Taichi Ishiguro1, Kenichi Kasahara1, Naoki Ikeda2,Yoshimasa Sugimoto2

1Ritsumeikan University (Japan), 2Nanotechnology Innovation Center (Japan)Photoluminescence enhancement observed in Alq3 with Ag was 3-4 at output angles, which could not beexplained by the calculated scattering rate of surface plasmons. Experimental results suggested that surfaceplasmons were generated in phase at the same time, and scattered simultaneously. Aggregate behavior ofthe energy transfer of excitions to surface plasmons can happen, because excitions inthe organic film existmere nanometers apart.

P12: Plasmonic color printing combining conjugate twin phase modulation with plasmonic broadbandabsorptionJiancai Xue, Zhang-Kai Zhou, Xue-Hua WangSun Yat-sen University (China)Plasmonic color printing has a promising future as a new generation of color printing technology. As forpractical application, the problems of color gamut and production area need to be addressed. Here, werealize scalable and full-color plasmonic color printing by combining conjugate twin phase modulation withplasmonic broadband absorption. Furthermore, we develop plasmonic color printing with reversibly color-changing capability, giving rise to enormous potentials in special label, anti-counterfeiting, and even high-density data encryption storage.

P13: UV Circular Polarization Selection using Aluminum Nano-SpiralsMatthew S. Davis1, J. Strait2, J. K. Lee1, S. Blair3, A. Agrawal2, H. J. Lezec2

1Syracuse University (USA), 2Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (USA), 3University of Utah (USA)Manipulating ultraviolet light presents unique challenges in technology. Here we demonstrate circular polari-zation selection at ultraviolet wavelengths over subwavelength distances using a flat-optical device consisting

18


of Al chiral nanospirals periodically patterned on a glass substrate.

P14: 3D toroidal metamaterial on suspended SiN filmZ. Liu1, Shuo Du2, Z. C. Li2, S. Q. Chen1, Junjie Li1, Changzhi Gu1

1Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), 2Nankai University (China)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 thetoroidal molecule. Toroidal and magnetic dipole moments can be excited by vertical incident light, whichcan be distinguished by the current and magnetic field distribution. Compared to horizontally incidence, theresonance here has the same frequency but much larger transmission modulation depth.

P15: Ag and Au nanoparticles synthesis with pulsed laser ablation in monomer solutionIgor Denisyuk, Natalia Zulina, Il’ya PavlovetsITMO University (Russia)In this study Ag and Au nanoparticles were obtained with pulsed laser ablation method in liquid substance.As liquid monomer solutions of two different photocurable polymers were picked - carboxyethyl acrylate andisodecyl acrylate. UV-visible spectroscopy and SEM investigation showed that obtained nanoparticles havesize distribution from 50 to 200 nm. Also, polymerization process was carried out for nanocomposite synthesisand its biomedical application study.

P16: Refractive index sensitivity characteristics of dual-resonant plasmonic perfect absorberMustafa Turkmen, Sabri Kaya, Semih Korkmaz, Ekin AslanErciyes University (Turkey)We proposed a plasmonic perfect absorber (PPA) based on double bowtie shaped plasmonic nanoantennaarrays operating in mid-infrared regime. We investigated the spectral responses and surface-enhanced in-frared absorption (SEIRA) enhancements of nanostructures by using finite difference time domain (FDTD)method.

1Technical University of Denmark (Denmark), 2University of Twente (The Netherlands)A nondispersive inhomogeneous dielectric environment of a donor-acceptor pair of quantum emitters affectstheir Foerster resonance energy transfer (FRET) rate. We find that this rate does not depend on the emissionfrequency and hence not on the local optical density of states (LDOS) at that frequency, but that it can beexpressed as a broad frequency integral over the optical LDOS. Our numerical results illustrate that even withthe broadband LDOS it is hard to control the FRET rate.

Two configurations are considered: i) cavities connectedsymmetrically on each side of the waveguide, ii) cavities situated on the same side. In the first case the EITresonance occurs as a consequence of the destructive interference between the two cavities, whereas in thesecond situation the phenomenon arises due to coupling between dark and radiative resonators.

To do so weexploit the plasmonic resonances of the lattice, which are very sensitive to the graphene doping level. By dy-namically changing this doping the transmission becomes time-dependent and allows for effective frequencycomb generation in the infrared range.

Wiederrecht21Ohio University (USA), 2Argonne Labs (USA)The efficiency of generation of energetic plasmonic carriers in metal nanostructures strongly depends on theoptical design and material composition. In this study, we demonstrate the ability to generate large numbersof hot plasmonic carriers in specially-designed hybrid nanostructures with hot spots. Overall, nanostructureswith small sizes or with hot spots can create unusually large numbers of energetic electrons that can beobserved using ultra-fast spectroscopy or in photo-chemical experiments.

Specifically, we will discuss the field sensitivities of high order nonlinearities andaddress the ultrafast dynamics of photo-generated hot carriers. We will show that the nonlinearities are notrestricted to the excitation spot but may be distributed through the plasmonic landscape. We will discusspossible applications and electrical control of the nonlinear mechanisms.

The SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) performance of plasmonic colloidal depositions is to agreat 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) andcompare the SERS enhancement yielded by two different models of analyte distribution through full-wavenumerical simulations. These are done with the aid of an accelerated surface integral equation method,extremely powerful for large-scale electromagnetic problems.

With this apparatus, we studied plasmon wave packetdynamics in gold nanorods. On coherent multi-mode excitation with the ultrashort pulses, we found characte-ristic time-dependent features of near-field pump-probe images, which reflected wave packet propagation inthe nanorod.

In cubic dimers, the

30


gap morphology is of crucial importance for very short interparticle distances. Besides the redshift of theresonance with decreasing interparticle distance, we observed a clear anti-resonance dip in the main dipolarLSPR which can be viewed as a Fano resonance due to the coupling between the broad dipolar resonanceof the dimer with gap plasmon modes confined in the interparticle zone.

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

12:00 : Invited talkConserved Quantities and Phase Locking in PT-symmetric LatticesA. K. Harter, F. A. Onanga, Yogesh N. JoglekarIndiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (USA)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-unitarynature of such time evolution, the net intensity of light in such a system is not constant with time. Motivatedby the early attempts to develop a unitary theory for such Hamiltonians, we present conserved quantities inPT-symmetric systems that are determined by the wave-function or electric field amplitudes and phases.

We analyze the emission statistics for singleemitter embedded in a finite cluster of resonant particles during a solid-liquid phase transition. At meltingtemperature, the system total scattering cross section does not present significant differences between thetwo phases while the emission rate jumps following the system dynamics.

KuznetsovA*STAR (Singapore)Light scattering from structures with high refractive index may produce strong, opticallyinducedelectric andmagnetic resonances. This allows controlling many characteristics of the scatteredlight, including its scatte-ring diagram, intensity distribution and light polarization. As a consequence,it is possible to realize interferenceeffects such as Kerker and Fano resonances, formation of opticalvortices and excitation of anapole modes.In this presentation we illustrate some of these effects withthe help of exact solutions in the Mie theory.

High-refractive index dielectrics show strong promise as a complementarynanophotonics platform. Dielectric nanostructures are able to show not only electric but also magnetic re-sonances, both with low-losses.

1Technion (Israel), 2The 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 theypass through defects or around corners. We find that the fractal-likespectrum of the quasicrystal is endowedwith topological band gaps at all energy scales manifestingan entirely new physics phenomenon. Thesenew fractal topological aspects lay the groundwork fornew conceptual ideas involving topological phases inquasicrystals.

14:20 : Invited talkMetamaterial structures to realize real-space gauge-fieldFu Liu, Jensen LiUniversity of Birmingham (United Kingdom)By using metamaterials to mimic a pseudo gauge field and pseudo magnetic field to bend light, we canachieve optical spin Hall effect, one-way topological edge states, which will be useful in spin-dependent andspoof-magneto optics. In this talk, we will discuss the underlying metamaterial structures to realize such agauge field. Reduced parameter approximation is established as a useful tool to simplify experiments withoutemploying magnetic responses.

14:40 : Invited talkSynthetic dimensions in multi-mode ring-resonator arraysTomoki Ozawa1, Hannah M. Price1, Nathan Goldman2, Oded Zilberberg3, Iacopo Carusotto1

1University of Trento (Italy), 2Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), 3ETH Zurich (Switzerland)We propose a method to produce synthetic dimensions in arrays of multi-mode ring-resonators. This met-hod allows one to use d-dimensional arrays of resonators to simulate (d+1)-dimensional lattice models withsynthetic magnetic fields. Applying the method to one-dimensional array of resonators, we show that such astructure 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.

15:00 : Invited talkWeyl Points and Topological Notions in Electromagnetic WavesWenjie Chen, Meng Xiao, Wen-Yu He, Z. Q. Zhang, C. T. ChanThe Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong)We designed, fabricated and experimentally characterized a Weyl photonic crystal with both single and dou-ble Weyl points. Nontrivial 2D bulk band gaps for fixed kz and Weyl points were confirmed by angle-resolvedtransmission spectra. The robustness of the associated surface states against kz-preserved scattering wasexperimentally observed. In addition, we propose a pseudospin-polarized waveguide without using bulk ma-terials. Wave propagation in the waveguide is robust against deformations that do not induce spin flip, whichwere experimentally observed.

15:20 : Invited talkTopological effects based on spin-orbit coupling of cavity polaritonsDmitry Solnyshkov, A. V. Nalitov, G. MalpuechUniversity Blaise Pascal (France)We show that the TE-TM splitting of planar cavities leads to a special type of spin-orbit coupling for patternedcavities. Under an applied magnetic field, polariton graphene behaves as a Z topological insulator with chiralsurface states, which can be evidenced by direct resonant excitation. In zigzag chains of pillar cavities, thiscoupling brings about the topological edge states and stable dark-bright solitons, allowing to study the Kibble-Zurek mechanism in condensation.

15:40 : Invited talkTopological excitons, plexcitons, and polaritons in organic materialsJoel Yuen-ZhouUniversity of California San Diego (USA)The control of energy transfer at the nano- and mesoscales is one of the main goals for the development ofefficient light-harvesting architectures and photonic circuitry. Here, we describe our proposals for the design oftopological edge states in excitonic and polaritonic systems composed of organic materials. We shall discussmodels of porphyrin thin films, molecular crystals coupled to plasmonic metals, and organic dyes in an opticalmicrocavity, which we believe, can be readily implemented experimentally.

14:00 : Invited talkPhotonic spin Hall effect in waveguides composed of two kinds of single-negative metamaterialsZ. W. Guo, K. Yu, Haitao Jiang, H. ChenTongji University (China)In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the photonic spin Hall effect in waveguides composed of twokinds of single-negative metamaterials. We find that a source with a linear polarization couples equally withthe two guided modes oppositely propagating along the interface. However, a circularly rotating source onlycouples with one guided mode with a specific propagating direction, which is determined by the rotationdirection of the source.

We report our recent experimental and theoretical works on the efficient generation of prominent and robustFano resonances in a 3D metamaterial. The observed Fano resonances are highly scalable, universal, robustand immune against both fabrication and illumination imperfections

14:40 : Invited talkSurface plasmon model for the radiation enhancement by resonant optical dipole antennasHaitao Liu1, Hongwei Jia1, Ying Zhong2

1Nankai University (China), 2Tianjin University (China)We report an intuitive model based on a multiple scattering of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that cancomprehensively predict the emission properties of a dipole antenna. The enhancement of the antenna ra-diation is shown to be due to surface waves that are resonantly excited on the two antenna arms and that arefurther coupled into the nano-gap. Both SPPs and other surface waves contribute to the antenna radiation forthe lowest-order resonance while only SPP dominates at higher-order resonances.

15:00 : Invited talkDynamic plasmonic tweezers for nanoparticles and nanowiresXiujie Dou, Changjun Min, Lichao Zhang, Yuquan Zhang, Xiaocong YuanShenzhen University (China)The hybrid plasmonic mode between a nanoparticle and a metal film strongly enhances the electromagneticfield and the induced optical forces. Here, we employ the plasmonic mode to achieve a dynamic plasmonictweezers for trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles and nanowires on a flat metal surface. The plasmonictweezers 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 nanowiredevices.

15:20 : Invited talkPlasmonic and Dielectric Nanoantennas for Integrated Photonic CircuitryYuanqing Yang, Jingyi Tian, Hang Zhao, Qiang Li, Min QiuZhejiang University (China)Nanoantennas, analogues of microwave and radiowave antennas at optical frequencies, have become asubject of great interest in recent years. Here we review our recent work on both plasmonic and dielectricnanoantennas. Different designs such as nanohorns, patch dimers and stair-like configurations are presen-ted. In particular, we discuss how to control and functionalize the far-field radiation characteristics of thesenanoantennas and nanoantenna-quantum-emitter coupled systems. These studies are expected to open newavenues for integrated photonic circuitry and optical wireless communications.

15:40 : Invited talkQuasi-normal mode formalism for the radiation properties of nanoparticles in optical stacksKevin Vynck, Remi Faggiani, Jianji Yang, Philippe LalanneBordeaux University (France)We propose to exploit the concept of quasi-normal modes (QNMs) to predict rapidly and accurately the ra-diation 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) calcula-ted, 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 opticalfunctionalities.

1KAUST (Saudi Arabia), 2Wayne State University (USA), 3Aix-Marseille University (France)This work focuses on two recently proposed concepts in graphene plasmonics. (i) Generation and dynamicsteering of Terahertz (THz) beams using graphene antennas. (ii) Efficient and tunable generation of graphenesurface plasmon polaritons (GSSPs).

14:20 : Invited talkNonlocal phenomena in metastructures with near-zero parametersInigo Liberal1, Yue Li2, Nader Engheta1

1University of Pennsylvania (USA), 2Tsinghua University (China)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 thecharacteristics of a large scattering body can be manipulated with a single and small actuator. These andother examples of the nonlocal features of ENZ media will be discussed in our presentation.

14:40 : Invited talkInherently Nonrecirocal: Nonlinear MetamaterialsEkaterina Poutrina, Augustine UrbasAir Force Research Laboratory (USA)We demonstrate that non-recirocity of nonlinear generation is inherent and realistically observable in the ef-fective nonlinear multipolar response of nanostructures. A careful design of effective hyperpolarizability termsallows both a non-reciprocal and unidirectional nonlinear generation where the generation direction is preser-ved 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 respectivedirections of teh fundamental beams.

15:00 : Invited talkSilver grain nonlinear metamaterialTomasz Stefaniuk1, Nicolas Olivier1, Alessandro Belardini2, Concita Sibilia2, Aleksandra Wronkowska3,Andrzej Wronkowski3, Tomasz Szoplik4, Anatoly Zayats1

1King’s College London (United Kingdom), 2Sapienza Universita di Roma (Italy), 3UTP University of Scienceand Technology (Poland), 4University of Warsaw (Poland)Silver is one of the most commonly used metals for constructing metamaterials working in the visible wa-velength range. This is because it has low ohmic losses, associated with small values of imaginary partof permittivity. In this talk we will demonstrate that due to segregation of germanium atoms to silver grainboundaries, a smooth silver layer might become a metamaterial itself. This system exhibits such effects aslocalised plasmon resonances on encapsulated grains and extraordinary second harmonic generation.

15:20 : Invited talkShape and phase of surface plasmon lasers on active metasurfacesV. T. Tenner, M. J. A. de Dood, M. P. van ExterUniversity Leiden (The Netherlands)We study surface plasmon lasing in a simple metamaterial with gain, comprising a square metal hole arrayon a semiconductor gain layer. These lasers emit radially polarized vector-vortex beams. We study the originof these beams by measuring the radiated intensity in both near and far field and reconstructing the phase ofthe emission. The reconstructed phase gives valuable information on the distributedfeedback of these lasersand reveals the origin of the donut shaped laser beams.

1University of Southampton (United Kingdom), 2University Bordeaux (France)I present results aimed at achieving nanoscale switchable and reconfigurable devices. A single nanoantennacan concentrate intensity and produce an enhanced excitation and readout of a nonlinear Kerr medium. Nextto single-antenna building blocks, we look at highly multimode, complex environments where the light field isthe result of interference of many possible light paths. New types of all-optical control are achieved throughreconfiguring the light field and the medium itself, including ultrafast wave shaping and reciprocity effects.

14:00 : Invited talkLinear and nonlinear plasmonics with single gold nanorodsMartin Caldarola, W. Zhang, M. OrritUniversiteit Leiden (The Netherlands)I will review the recent work of our group using single gold nanorods for fluorescence enhancement as wellas our current efforts to use higher harmonic generation in single nanorods for UV generation and its possibleuse as localized source for excitation of blue and near-UV fluorophores.

14:20 : Invited talkMode-matched multiresonant plasmonic antennas for enhanced wave mixing at the nanoscaleMichele Celebrano1, Xiaofei Wu2, Milena Luisa Baselli1, Swen Grossmann3, Paolo Biagioni1, LaviniaGhirardini1, Giovanni Pellegrini1, Andrea Locatelli4, Costantino De Angelis4, Giulio Cerullo5, RobertoOsellame5, Bert Hecht3, Lamberto Duo1, Franco Ciccacci1, Marco Finazzi11Politecnico di Milano (Italy), 2University of Bayreuth (Germany), 3University of Wurzburg (Germany), 4Universityof Brescia (Italy), 5IFN-CNR - Politecnico di Milano (Italy)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 displa-ying multiple resonances at both the excitation and emission wavelengths and spatial overlap between thelocal modes involved. We will describe the properties of the nonlinear emission from these structures anddiscuss possible implementations of the introduced paradigm to metasurfaces for applications to nonlinearsensing and quantum optics.

14:40 : Invited talkQuantitative optical spectroscopy of single metal nano-objectsAurelien Crut, Anna Lombardi, Etienne Pertreux, Paolo Maioli, Fabrice Vallee, Natalia Del FattiUniversite Lyon 1 (France)We report quantitative investigations of the optical response of individual noble metal nano-objects, performedby 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 thesurface plasmon resonances of metal nano-objects are affected by deposition on a substrate, nano-object 3Dorientation and, in the case of nanodimers, by electromagnetic interactions.

Matteo Martini1, Meriem Stamboul2, Anne Debarre2

1Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France), 2Universite Paris Sud (France)We have developed a spectroscopic approach to study the optical properties of single nanoparticles in sus-pension. This approach includes the possibility of obtaining the emission spectrum of a particle diffusingduring a few milliseconds in the excitation volume of a microscope. To illustrate this multiparameter spectros-copy, we will discuss the case of the intrinsic photoluminescence of a mixture of gold monomers and golddimers and evoke the case of the spectrum evolution of core-shell particles with increasing excitation power.

15:20 : Invited talkExtreme light confinement in plasmonic taperStefan Dilhaire1, olga lozan1, Buntha Ea Kim2, Philippe Lalanne1

1Universite de Bordeaux (France), 2Universite Paris XI (France)We introduce a Time Domain Thermoreflectance (TDTR) approach to reveal, understand and control energyconfinement when going from macro- to nano-scale, i.e. including all conversion processes from incidentphoton, to plasmons, electrons, and phonons within space and time scales from micrometer to nanometer,and from tens of femtoseconds up to tens of picoseconds.


Session 1A20




14:00 : Invited talkControl of Power in Parity-Time Symmetric LatticesMaksim Kozlov1, Georgios Tsironis2

1Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan), 2University of Crete (Greece)We demonstrate that in the longitudinally modulated Parity-Time symmetric lattices the light wave power canbe controlled through overlap of gain-loss distribution with intensity pattern formed by interference of Rabi-coupled Floquet-Bloch modes.

14:20 : Invited talkParity-Time Symmetric Chain ResonatorsSendy Phang, Ana Vukovic, Stephen C. Creagh, Gabriele Gradoni, Phillip D. Sewell, Trevor BensonUniversity of Nottingham (United Kingdom)A simple tight-binding model to study the band-structure of an infinite length Parity-time (PT) symmetric chainof resonators is presented in this paper. In the talk, we will investigate the impact of having a structure offinite length and consider the effect of a modulation of the real part of the refractive index on the completeband-structure of the PT-chain system. For a finite PT-chain structure under certain modulation, we observethe existence of a localised mode which is either lasing or dissipating.

14:40 : Invited talkNon-Hermitian AcousticsHamidreza Ramezani1, Chengzhi Shi2, Marc Dubois2, Yuan Wang2, Xiang Zhang2

1University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (USA), 2University of California Berkeley (USA)We introduce the concept of non-Hermitian parity-time (PT) symmetric acoustics. We show that the PT sym-metric acoustic structure becomes transparent from one side at the exceptional point with perfect transmissionand zero reflection from one side. We demonstrate a method to obtain simultaneous control of complex-valued potentials and multiple interference inside the structure to accomplish the exceptional point at anygiven frequency. Moreover, we propose a mechanism for directional excitation based on impedance matchedPT symmetric potential.

45


15:00 : Invited talkRings of Exceptional PointsMarin SoljacicMIT (USA)We present our recent work on exceptional points in 2D periodic photonic crystal slabs. Since these are 2Dsystems, the resulting system has not only one exceptional point (like is typical in 1D), but rather a ring ofexceptional points. Its properties and potential applications will be discussed.

15:20 : Origin of folded bands in metamaterial crystalsPeter Markos, Richard HlubinaComenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia)Spectra of metamaterial photonic crystals may contain frequency bands whichdisappear inside the Brillouinzone (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 thewave equation. At those momenta in theBrillouin zone where no real solutions exist, there appear pairs ofcomplex-frequency solutionswith spontaneously broken PT symmetry.

15:35 : Tailoring spectral properties of local Parity-Time symmetry grating devices for integrated op-ticsAnatole Lupu1, Henri Benisty1, Andrei V. Lavrinenko2

1Universite Paris Sud (France), 2Technical University of Denmark (Denmark)We explore the functionalities of nonuniform Parity-Time -symmetric structures with engineered complex-index-modulation profiles. The use of nonuniform coupling or gain-loss modulation profiles brings a number ofadvantages as compared to the uniform PT-symmetric structures. The intention of the undertaken approach isto show that many conventional techniques previously developed for passive-type grating-assisted or coupled-waveguide devices for integrated optics can be transposed and adapted to a PT-symmetric case, fosteringthus a new generation of active photonic devices.

15:50 : Constant-Intensity waves in Media with Gain and LossKonstantinos Makris1, Andre Brandstotter2, Philipp Ambichl2, Ziad Musslimani3, Demetrios Christodoulides3,Stefan Rotter21University of Crete (Greece), 2Vienna University of Technology (Austria), 3Florida State University (USA)When impinging on a non-uniform potential landscape, waves typically scatter and diffract, resulting in a highlycomplex interference pattern in the waves’ intensity. In my talk I will introduce a special class of waves thatdefy this common picture by maintaining a constant-intensity even in the presence of strong variations of thepotential, provided that a suitable combination of gain and loss is added to it.

14:00 : Invited talkCoherent Control of Light in Disordered Media Assisted by Long-range CorrelationsChia Wei Hsu1, Seng Fatt Liew1, Arthur Goetschy2, Yaron Bromberg1, A. Douglas Stone1, Hui Cao1

1Yale University (USA), 2ESPCI ParisTech (France)In recent years, wavefront shaping has become a powerful tool for manipulating the transport of light indisordered media. We show that long-range correlations in the coherent diffusion allow more control on non-local properties than one could in uncorrelated systems. Spatially, moving from controlling a single specklegrain (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 controlof light.

14:20 : Invited talkLaunching optical energy into the fundamental diffusion mode of a complex nanophotonic mediumFemi Ojambati, Hasan Yilmaz, Ad Lagendijk, Allard P. Mosk, Willem L. VosUniversity of Twente (The Netherlands)We demonstrate experimentally that optical wavefront shaping increases light coupling into the fundamentaldiffusion 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.

14:40 : Invited talkPolarization revival through scattering mediaHilton B. de Aguiar1, Sylvain Gigan2, Sophie Brasselet11Institut Fresnel (France), 2Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (France)Recently, microscopy in scattering media has been enabled by impressive developments of wavefront shapingtechniques. However, current demonstrations only allow retrieving information at a microscopic level. In thiscontribution, we demonstrate an unprecedented phenomenon with which deep molecular-level imaging maybe enabled: polarization revival via wavefront shaping.

15:00 : Invited talkSpatial structure of transmission eigenchannels and densities of states of random mediaMatthieu Davy1, Z. Shi2, C. Tian3, A. Z. Genack2

1University of Rennes 1 (France), 2Queens College of the City University of New York (USA), 3TsinghuaUniversity (China)We explore the spatial structure of the energy density of eigenchannels of the transmission matrix withinrandom media. Using a connection with the generalized diffusion equation, we provide an expression of itsensemble average for any transmission eigenvalue. We further show that the contribution of each eigenchan-nel to the density of states can be determined from measurements of spectra of the transmission matrix. Thiscontribution is equal to the stored energy density in each eigenchannel.

15:20 : Invited talkEigenchannels in scattering media: from manipulation to inverse designAlexey Yamilov1, Sasha Petrenko1, Milan Koirala1, Raktim Sarma2, Hui Cao2

1Missouri University (USA), 2Yale University (USA)We demonstrate control of transport of light inside disordered waveguides by modifying the transmissioneigenchannels. We obtain a relationship between the shape of the waveguide and the eigenchannel profilethat opens the possibility of inverse design. Our approach allows one to control not only the transmitted butalso reflected and absorbed light.

15:40 : Invited talkCellulose bio-inspired hierarchical structuresSilvia VignoliniUniversity of Cambridge (United Kingdom)Nature’s strongest and vivid colours rely on the ability to produce complex and hierarchical photonic structureswith lattice constants on the order of the wavelength of visible radiation. A common strategy design that isfound both in the animal and plant kingdoms for producing such effects is the helicoidal multilayers. In suchstructures, a series of individual nano-fibers (made of natural polymers as cellulose and chitin) are arrangedparallel to each other in stacked planes.

1IMDEA Nanoscience (Spain), 2Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), 3IMM-Instituto de Microelectronica de Ma-drid (Spain)We study the localized plasmon resonance enhanced magneto-optical effect in the magnetoplasmonic ring-split 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, the-refore the MO activity boosts and is maximized for structure with a gap of 60deg, exhibiting an enhancementfactor of 3 compared to the one without gap.

We display the theoretical dispersion relations considering all six degreesof freedom of the individual beads and compare with the obtained experimental results. We present experi-mental evidence of transversal-rotational modes of propagation and tunability of the response by changingthe strength of the magnetic field.

14:50 : Invited talkSwitching of the Magnetic Moment by Mechanical MotionEugene M. ChudnovskyThe City University of New York (USA)Spin-rotation coupling limits the quality factor of a nanoresonator and generates non-trivial quantum me-chanics of molecules grafted on carbon nanotubes. Problems of practical interest include switching of themagnetic moment in a nanoresonator by the combined effect of the spin-polarized current and mechanicalkick, electromechanical magnetization switching in multiferroics, and switching of the magnetization by surfa-ce acoustic waves.

15:10 : Invited talkSpin transport and manipulation in GaAs quantum wells by surface acoustic wavesAlberto Hernandez-Minguez, Klaus Biermann, Rudolf Hey, Paulo Ventura SantosPaul-Drude-Institut fur Festkorperelektronik (Germany)The fields of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) produce a moving potential modulation on semiconductor struc-tures. This modulation can capture photo-excited, spin-polarized electrons and holes in an intrinsic semicon-ductor structure and transport them with the acoustic velocity. Here, we review recent results on the acoustictransport and manipulation of optically excited spins in (Al,Ga)As quantum wells at high (i.e. above liquidnitrogen, LN) temperature.

1University of Groningen (The Netherlands), 2Universite du Maine (France)Surface magnetoelastic waves are generated using a hybrid magnetooptic / transient grating technique. Thisapproach allows us to measure the structural and magnetic degrees of freedom independently and demons-trate resonant coupling between these disparate degress of freedom. We show the excitation of two distinctelastic waves in the transient grating geometry, and the selective resonant coupling to the magnetization ofeach individually. At resonance, large amplitude magnetization precession is shown.

15:50 : Invited talkMagneto-elastic Symmetry Breaking with Surface Acoustic WavesAlexey Lomonosov1, Vladimir Vlasov1, Julius Janusonis2, Chia-Lin Chang2, Raanan Tobey2, ThomasPezeril1, Vasily Temnov1

1Universite du Maine (France), 2University of Groningen (The Netherlands)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 nonrecipro-city manifests itself in the dependence of SMEW phase velocity on the direction of the in-plane magneticexternal magnetic field. A simplified analytical approach, where FMR-resonance is driven by a standing SAWprovides a complimentary view on the nonreciprocity and is applied to describe symmetry breaking observedin ultrafast transient grating experiments.

14:00 : Invited talkOptical and Opto-electronic Properties of Self-Assembled Meta SystemsAugustine UrbasAir Force Research Lab (USA)Self-assembly offers a suite of capabilities for forming and arranging multi-material systems in complex, threedimensional and precise structures. In this presentation, we will explore systems that leverage self-assemblyprimarily and as a component of hybrid assembly techniques to produce meta-systems with new properties inlinear and nonlinear optics as well as opto-electronic applications. The materials and effects span wavelengthranges and demonstrate the potential for precise and localized fabrication and large area complex materialssynthesis.

14:20 : Invited talkBand-edge photonics: a promising approach for next-generation light emittersKyungtaek Min, Heonsu JeonSeoul National University (Korea)The most common application have been band-edge lasers, which can be obtained by tuning a band-edgemode to the emission wavelength of gain material. In this talk, we present a new approach in utilizing band-edge modes, where a band-edge mode is tuned to excitation wavelength. By properly designing the photoniccrystal structure, we could obtain a large enhancement in optical absorption and therefore subsequent fluo-rescence, which is particularly suitable for phosphor applications.

Intriguingly, due to the coupling of GPs with the metalgate underneath we observe a linearization of the plasmon dispersion (thus revealing acoustic plasmons),which comes along with an extreme confinement of the plasmon fields. These extraordinary GPs propertiesare very promising for sensing and communication technologies.

These structuresexhibit a series of Mie resonances where the lowest one is associated with a strong dispersion in the effectivemagnetic permeability. Using time-domain terahertz spectroscopy, we experimentally demonstrated the mag-netic nature of the observed resonance.

1Kazan Federal University (Russia), 2Imperial College London (United Kingdom)This work aims at the study of antenna-driven near-field dichroism of a sub-10 nm epoxy-based azo-polymerthin film. Orientation mechanisms of azo-chromophores (DO3) covalently attached to a polymer backboneas a side-chain are spectroscopically and electrically explored with tip-enhanced Raman scattering and dif-ferential scanning capacity microscopy, respectively. Photo-induced heating of a substrate-free polymer filmand its glassy temperature is investigated with scanning thermal microscopy.

1University Pierre et Marie Curie (France), 2University College London (United Kingdom)Efficient control of carefully designed nanostructure has been achieved recently, but fabrication and accessi-bility of the modes addressed from the far-field still represent open challenges. But disorder can be turned intoan advantage to control light propagation. We propose a new experimental scheme where plasmonics modeson random metal-dielectric networks are tuned by wavefront shaping which allows to extract information aboutthe extension of the modes and also far field control of hot-spots.

14:45 : Utilization of hybrid plasmonic modes to investigate surface interactions between nanocubesand polymer substratesAdam Bottomley, Daniel Prezgot, Jason P. Coyle, Mike Bushell, Anatoli IanoulCarleton University (Canada)Silver nanocube monolayers deposited on polymer films were heated past the glass transition temperature ofthe polymer. Surface interactions between the cubes and substrate dictate the depth and rate of incorporationinto the polymer. Silver nanocubes support hybrid plasmonic modes that are spatially separated when thereis anisotropy in the local refractive index. Using this measure, it becomes possible to monitor the position ofthe cubes relative to the surface and tune spectral features in the visible spectrum.

Christodoulides2,Ulf Peschel31Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat (Germany), 2University of Central Florida (USA), 3Friedrich Schiller Univer-sity Jena (Germany)In our experimental work, we create a Parity-Time (PT) symmetric material by coupling two fiber loops ofdifferent 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 whicha pseudo-Hermitian propagation is reestablished. Furthermore, we experimentally investigate the nonlinearregime and the formation of PT solitons.

On-chip nonreciprocal light transmission and circulation due to gain-saturaton nonlinearity are ex-perimentally 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 nonreci-procal light transmission and circulation, such as simplicity in the structure, easy to control, low insertion lossand supperior isolation performance.

18:00 : Side-coupled resonators with parity-time symmetry for broadband unidirectional invisibilityNicolas Rivolta, Bjorn MaesUniversity of Mons (Belgium)We analyze the scattering properties of PT-structures made of a waveguide and a finite chain of side-coupledresonators. Typical 1D PT-structures exhibit unidirectional invisibility (also called anisotropic transmission re-sonances), 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 explorerigorously. For example, we can achieve a broadband unidirectional invisibility with only two resonators, andwe observe rich dispersions for ATRs with four resonators.

1Instituto de Fisica - BUAP (Mexico), 2University of Central Florida (USA)We study transport properties of a periodic 1D array of bi-layers focusing on theunidirectional refectivity thatemerges as a result of the balanced losses/gains incorporated into the arrays. Our analysis is based on thetransfer matrix method according to which we derive analytical expressions for both spectral and transportcharacteristics of the model. We have unexpectedly found that the PT-symmetric transport can emerge evenwhen the system itself is not PT-symmetric.

Another class of time-varying metasurfaces opens up a new horizon of light control based onspace-time duality of wave equations. Temporally-engineered metasurfaces break Lorentz-reciprocity pavingthe way for developing magnetic-free optical isolators. Furthermore, they induce a wavelength-shift that could

Radia-tion pressure and dipole forces on dielectrics are familiar, but this talk will concentrate on the subtleties thatappear with more exotic objects including magneto-dielectrics, negative-index materials and chiral molecules.

08:40 : Plenary talkTransformation optics, surface plasmons, and metasurfacesJohn B. PendryImperial College London (United Kingdom)Metallic surfaces support surface plasmon excitations whose properties are intimately connected to the sur-face geometry. For example a flat silver surface is an excellent mirror, but the same material with a roughsurface is black, reflecting hardly any light. Here we use transformation optics to relate many complex surfacestructures 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 forcesand other properties that are related to the surface plasmon spectrum.

09:20 : Plenary talkNear-Zero PhotonicsNader EnghetaUniversity of Pennsylvania (USA)In this talk, I will present an overview of our ongoing efforts in exploring various aspects of light-matter inter-action in platforms and structures with effective near-zero parameters. We have found exciting phenomena inclassical and quantum aspects of wave interaction with such media that may show new roads towards noveldevices with unprecedented functionalities, and fundamental features in quantum optics and wave physics. Iwill discuss some of our most recent results and forecast future directions and potentials.

Secondly, we will demonstrate the nonlinearoptical properties of hybrid dielectric and plasmonic nanostructure arrays, which can further be utilized forenhancing the photocurrent generation of semiconductors.

11:20 : Invited talkUltrafast hot electrons spice up localized plasmonsBruno Palpant, T. Labouret, J. F. Audibert, R. PansuUniversite Paris-Saclay (France)Ultrashort light pulses absorbed by plasmonic nanostructures are not only able to transiently modulate theiroptical properties, but can also lead to the production of a nanoscale plasma, which in the enhanced localelectromagnetic field may generate reactive oxygen species in water over a large area, opening interestingoutlooks for photodynamic therapy. We demonstrate this process on single gold nanorods by fluorescenceimaging and explain the mechanisms involved by an appropriate theoretical model.

11:40 : Invited talkHyperlensing at NIR Frequencies Using a Hemi-spherical Metallic Nanowire Lens in Sea-urchin Geo-metryAnkit Bisht1, Wei He2, Xiaotian Wang1, Linda Y. L. Wu2, Xiaodong Chen1, Shuzhou Li11Nanyang Technology University (Singapore), 2Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (Singapore)Label-free and real time far-field super-resolution imaging (hyperlensing) at the nanoscale is of significantinterest where sub-wavelength imaging remains a constraint because of Abbe’s diffraction limit. Though byutilizing anisotropic permittivities, metal-dielectric multilayers have been successful in reconstructing the high-frequency components from sub-wavelength objects, yet they remain cumbersome and expensive to make.

12:00 : Keynote talkTunable Light-matter Interaction With Quantum Spillover and Super-radiance in Two Dimensional Mo-lecular AggregatesNicholas X. FangMassachusetts Institute of Technology (USA)In this talk I will report our recent efforts on controlling light absorption and emission process through quan-tum 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 abroadband light absorption below the bandgap of the oxide is a manifestation of quantum electron tunnelingthat penetrate into the thin oxide layer, and it is controlled by the static dielectric constant of the oxide insteadof dopant. We also found a dominant fluorescent decay channel in a two-dimensional molecular aggregate asa result of the strong and coherent dipole-dipole interaction mediated by a metallic substrate. This unique me-chanism 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.

10:40 : Keynote talkMicrocavity polaritons: fundamental physics and devicesBenoit DeveaudEcole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Switzerland)Polaritons are half-light half matter quasiparticles resulting from the strong coupling of photons confined in amicrocavity with excitons confined in a quantum well. Polariton condensates may be created both spontaneo-usly through a standard phase transition towards a Bose Einstein condensate, or be resonantly driven with awell-defined initial phase, speed and spatial distribution. We review here their main properties.

1Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain), 2FORTH-IESL (Greece), 3Nanyang Technological University (Sin-gapore), 4University of Crete (Greece)We report on the realization of a novel spin-selective spatial filter mediated by propagating exciton-polaritoncondensate bullets in a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor microcavity. We also show that, undercircularly polarized, continuous-wave, non-resonant excitation, spin textures whose phase depends on theemission energy are formed.

11:30 : Invited talkExciton-polariton condensates in non-Hermitian potentialsElena OstrovskayaThe Australian National University (Australia)Spatial shaping of an optical pump has been long recognized as a versatile tool for controlling and directingthe flow of condensed microcavity polaritons. An off-resonant, incoherent optical pump creates both exciton-polaritons and an effective non-Hermitian trapping potential. We show that optically induced potentials enableexploration of non-Hermitian quantum physics with microcavity polaritons. In particular, we demonstrate, bothexperimentally and theoretically, non-trivial mode selection in tailored potentials, observation of exceptionalpoints, and visualization of the topological Berry phase.

11:50 : Invited talkInstabilities of polariton condensates in patterned microcavitiesMichiel Wouters1, V. N. Gladilin1, D. De Bernardis2

1Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium), 2University 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 interactionbecomes attractive. For lossless bose gases this instability leads to the formation of bright solitons. With gainand losses present, a chaotic steady state arises. We discuss the different regimes, which include phasechaos, described by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and defect chaos.

1Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (Poland), 2University of Wurzburg (Germany), 3Saint Peters-burg State University (Russia)We observe renormalization of excitation branches of an expanding polariton condensate, generated by atightly focused nonresonant laser pump. Polaritons scattered on the intrinsic sample disorder occupy normaland ghost branches, revealing peculiar polarization properties in collective microscopic scattering processesof polaritons. We track the time evolution of highly excited polariton condensate and resolve the evolution ofthe excitation branches.

In this workwe present some experimental investigation focused on the nonequilibrium properties of such a fluid, andmore specifically, on the way it is transports and stores heat.

Here we will demonstrate nonlinear meta-materials with homogeneous linear properties but continuously controllable phase of the local effective non-linear polarizability. Such continuous phase engineering of effective nonlinear polarizabilities enables com-plete control of propagation of nonlinear signals and seamlessly combines the generation and manipulationof harmonic waves. We will show how the symmetry of meta-atoms influences the nonlinear phase and howversatile second harmonic processes can be controlled on sub-wavelength scales.

Metasurfaces provide unprecedented opportunities in creating novel optical devices in manipulating amplitu-de, phase, and polarization states. It has been shown that few-layer metasurfaces can dramatically improvethe device performance in eciency and bandwidth. Here we present the design, fabrication, and characteri-zation of metasurface at lenses based on three-layer metasurfaces in the microwave and terahertz frequencyranges, achieving outstanding performance toward real world applications.

11:20 : Keynote talkMetamaterial Elements as Huygens RadiatorsOmar RamahiUniversity of Waterloo (Canada)Metamaterial particles are essentially electrically-small radiators with polarization dependency. Previous workson metamaterials was concerned primarily with using such particles to achieve homogeneous media thatenabled unconventional propagation. The fact that the particles are radiators suggests that they can beused as antennas. In antennas, not only radiation but radiation e ciency is critical. In fact, because of theirelectrically-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 demonstratehere.

In this paper, we demonstrate the reflective-type and high efficiencymetasurface in visible region and a polarization controllable meta-hologram by adequately designing. The fullcolor meta-hologram can also be achieved based on aluminum metasurface. Furthermore, we exhibit meta-device of circular polarization generator.

Thus,the hybrid graphene heterostructures under consideration can be perspective for THz lasers.

1Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Switzerland), 2Universite de Geneve (Switzerland)We present the experimental demonstration of the first terahertz isolator (working frequency larger than 1THz), obtained using the non-reciprocal electromagnetic properties of graphene under magnetostatic bias.The presentation will cover in detail the design, fabrication and measurement of the device. The isolatorexhibits unidirectional terahertz propagation in reflection for circularly polarized waves, showing two bandsat 2.9 and 7.6 terahertz respectively. In spite of the simplicity of design and fabrication, the proposed devicegeometry achieves near-optimal performances.

11:20 : Invited talkClassical and quantum plasmonics in nanostructured grapheneMartijn Wubs, Thomas Christensen, Weihua Wang, Antti-Pekka Jauho, N. Asger MortensenTechnical University of Denmark (Denmark)In graphene plasmonics, the classical description of graphene as a sheet with bulk conductivity breaks downfor 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 free-electron response, in graphene additional competing size-dependent effects due to edge states can occurwhich are even the dominant effects.

11:40 : Invited talkElectrical Detection of Graphene PlasmonsRenwen Yu, Javier Garcia de AbajoICFO-Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques (Spain)Plasmons, the collective oscillations of electrons in conducting materials, have the potential to interface elec-tronic and photonic devices, and thus are widely studied in nanophotonics. Graphene, which has extraordinaryoptoelectronic 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 extremelycompact on-chip electrical detection of single plasmons supported by nanostructured graphene.

We theo-retically prove that with sufficiently large thickness of the dielectric layers, i.e. 100 nm, the Tamm surfaceplasmons have considerably large (small) propagation (localization) length, comparable with those of a singlelayer of graphene.

1Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong), 2Soochow University (China), 3TechnicalUniversity of Denmark (Denmark)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 leadto an elastic rod, which can withstand both longitudinal and flexural waves. Band structure analysis showsthat within a finite frequency regime, only longitudinal wave can propagate, whereas transverse waves areforbidden - a hallmark property conventionally found only in fluids. This finding is realized with experiments.

12:30 : Double Zero Index Acoustic MetamaterialMarc Dubois, Chengzhi Shi, Yuan Wang, Xiang ZhangUniversity of California (USA)Acoustic plane waves, critical to imaging, sensing, detecting, etc., are usually difficult to generate becauseacoustic sources are small compared to the wavelength. Recently developed zero refractive index materialsfor electromagnetic waves provide a solution to plane wave generation because of the infinite phase velocity ofwaves travelling through them. We experimentally demonstrate that double zero index acoustic metamaterialhas the ability to convert efficiently the cylindrical wavefront emitted by an embedded point source into acollimated planar wavefront.

1University of Tubingen (Germany), 2Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Switzerland), 3Universite de Tech-nologie Troyes (France)The nonlinear optical effects in nanoantennas, such as the second harmonic generation and the two-photonphotoluminescence, are investigated. Using lithographically fabricated homo- and hetero-dimers as modelsystems, we discuss the different intensity dependences of the nonlinear processes on the particle size,material and gap distance. Furthermore, combining an ultrafast laser system with a scanning near-field opticalmicroscope, we demonstrate that nonlinear effects can be used to image a single plasmonic nanostructurewith an optical resolution better than thirty nm.

11:20 : Invited talkQuantum nonlinear graphene plasmonicsJoel Douglas Cox, Javier Garcia de AbajoICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain)Based on realistic quantum-mechanical simulations of the nonlinear optical response for doped graphenenanostructures, we show that atomistic and nonlocal effects can increase the nonlinear response associated

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

11:40 : Shaping the nonlinear near-field: the plasmonic analogue of Young’s double slit experimentD. Wolf, T. Schumacher, Markus LippitzUniversity of Bayreuth (Germany)Although shaping of fields around nanostructures is widely studied in plasmonics, the influence of the fieldinside the nanostructures is often overlooked. The linear field distribution inside the structure taken to thethird power causes third-harmonic generation. We demonstrate how this simple fact can be used to shapecomplex fields around a single particle alone. We employ this scheme to switch the emission from a singlepoint to two spatially separated but coherent sources.

The transient data show two distinct exponentialdecays 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.

In this work, we introduce weak cavity effects to thedesign by implementing a distributed Bragg reflector in the inverted taper.

The 2Dacoustic system exhibits Dirac points with nonzero winding number. The 3D acoustic system exhibits Weylnodes with by nonzero Chern number. For stacked 3D slab structures, topologically protected chiral surfacestates localize at the boundaries, which, can trace out the trajectories of Fermi Arcs, similar to previousobservations in condensed-matter Weyl semimetals.

14:40 : Keynote talkWave Control with space-time transformationsMathias FinkInstitut Langevin (France)Because time and space play a similar role in wave propagation, wave control in complex media can beachieved or by manipulating spatial boundaries or by manipulating time boundaries. Here we first emphasizethe role of time boundaries manipulation. We show that sudden changes of the medium properties genera-te instant wave sources that emerge instantaneously from the entire wavefield and can be used to controlthis wavefield. We will also discussed a dual approach to control a wavefield in reverberating medium byintroducing tunable metasurfaces as controllable spatial boundaries.

Lemaitre1, L. Lanco1, A. Auffeves2, P. Senellart11Laboratoire de Photonique et de Nanostructures (France), 2Universite Grenoble Alpes (France)In a quantum network the quantum information is coherently transferred between material nodes and photonicchannels. One of the main challenges to implement such a network is to control the light-matter interaction atthe single photon level: one atom acting as stationary quantum bit should deterministically control the state ofa photon, and vice versa. This can be obtained in a so-called one-dimensional system, where a single atominteracts only with a single and well-defined mode of the electromagnetic field.

14:20 : Invited talkQuantum PhotonicsDavid Zueco, Eduardo Sanchez-Burillo, Juanjo Garcia-Ripoll, Luis Martin-MorenoUniversidad de Zaragoza (Spain)We discuss our approach for describing few photons and few scatterersat the quantum level, both analyticallyand numerically.

Strong interactions between excitons, plasmons and phonons in hybrid geome-tries lead to the Fano interference effects, which were observed experimentally as an appearance of an opticaltransparency window. In purely plasmonic structures, the quantum effects in confined geometries lead to thepeculiar structure of the wave function of a plasmon and to the generation of hot plasmonic electrons.

15:50 : Invited talkPhotonic Integrated Circuits with On-Chip Single-Photon EmittersPeter MichlerUniversity of Stuttgart (Germany)In quantum photonics the full on-chip integration of major optical components, like beamsplitters, single-photon sources and detectors are currently one of the main goals. Here, we present our progress on theimplementation of In(Ga)As quantum dots as single-photon sources in on-chip GaAs/AlGaAs waveguidestructures. Photon cross-correlation measurements between the two output arms of an on-chip beamsplit-ter demonstrate the generation, guiding and splitting of triggered single photons under resonant excitation inan on-chip device.

This methodology is the combination of microfluidicvacuum soft lithography and micro-contact printing. Such multicomponent patterns enabled controlled celladhesion on discrete locations surrounded by GNP. Given the inherent properties of GNP, which may actas optical sensors and topographic cues, these high-resolution multicomponent patterns could enable newcellular studies with high spatio-temporal resolution.

1University of Stuttgart (Germany), 2University of Stellenbosch (South Africa)We show for a model Hamiltonian that the interference of the first and second order pole of the Green’s fun-ction at an exceptional point, as well as the interference of the first order poles in the vicinity of the exceptionalpoint, gives rise to asymmetric scattering cross section profiles which are well described by the Beutler-Fanoformula, and thus are genuine Fano resonances. An outlook to possible applications in optics is given.

106


the Lamb shift in an integrated photonic device. The presence of a neighboring waveguide induces a reactiveintermode coupling in the resonator, analogous to an off-diagonal Lamb shift from atomic physics.

1Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), 2Boston University (USA)I will discuss hybrid optoplasmonic architectures to tailor energy transfer between photons, plasmons, quan-tum emitters and heat carriers. Among the emergent properties of optoplasmonic structures is their abilityto combine spectral and spatial light localization, enabling ultrasensitive schemes for optical detection. Hy-brid systems can also be designed to provide passive cooling. A combination of strong light localization andspectral selectivity achievable under lower operating temperatures in optoplasmonic devices yields many ap-plications in detection, spectroscopy, imaging, and radiative cooling.

Single nanowires exhibit negative electric and magnetic responses stemming from thespectral overlap of the lowest magnetic resonance of the dielectric shell with the plasmon resonance of themetal core. Properties extracted from photonic band structure confirm the structure behaves as a low-loss,isotropic (2D) and bulk, optical negative index metamaterial, this is further demonstrated through numericalsimulations of flat-lense focusing.

Such discrete vortex statesdescribe spatially localizedcircular energy flows that carry a nontrivial angular momentum between the lattice sites.

14:20 : Invited talkManipulating and controlling polariton superfluid vorticesSimon PigeonQueen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom)We report recent advances concerning the control of topological excitations in out-of-equilibrium microcavitypolariton superfluids. These excitations, which include vortices and solitons that may be created on the vicinityof a localised potential barrier, propagate along the direction of the polariton flow but can also be opticallytrapped, 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.

WhittakerUniversity of Sheffield (United Kingdom)In this work we demonstrate the complete dynamical control of polariton spin-vortex states, with orbital angularmomentum equal to plus or minus one, on a Poincare sphere and among different ones. More specifically, weuse red-detuned ultrafast Stark pulses to modulate, in time, the energy of the excitonic resonances. This, dueto the double light-matter nature of cavity polaritons, allows controlling the phase and the state of polarizationof the polariton field.

The suspended gold NW can be pull down by electrostatic force induced by applying voltageto the NW. Such electromechanical response dramatically changes the plasmonic resonance between the NWand the substrate.

However, at telecommunication wavelengths, characteristics acceptable for practical implemen-tation have been demonstrated only with noble metals, which are not compatible with industry-standard fabri-cation processes. In this work, we present ultralow-loss deep-subwavelength copper plasmonic waveguidesfabricated in a CMOS compatible process, which can outperform gold waveguides.

1Wroclaw University of Technology (Poland), 2Arizona State University (USA)Electro-modulated reflectance (contactless electroreflectance (CER) and photoreflectance (PR)) has beenapplied to study direct optical transitions in MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 crystals and single layers. Forbulk crystals spectral features related to optical transitions at K and H point of Brillouin zone have been clearlyobserved in CER and PR spectra. Due to reduction of crystal size to a few layers spectral features related tooptical transitions at H point disappear that is very consistent with theoretical predictions.

1WITec GmbH (Germany), 2WITec GmbH (Spain)Raman imaging is a non-destructive and highly sensitive technique for the differentiation of layers, stacking,chirality, and defects in graphene and transition metal dichalogenides (TMDs). The information obtained fromRaman imaging can be complemented by other techniques such as Photoluminescence (PL), Atomic ForceMicroscopy (AFM), Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) or Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).In this contribution various examples of correlative studies will be presented, all having been acquired usinga single correlative microscopy platform.

By using a scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM), weshowed that the plasmons of the graphene can be improved by chemical doping. Furthermore, the plasmon-related characteristics, including the plasmon wavelengths and damping rates, can be obtained from thenear-field plasmonic fringes observed in the graphene.

1Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), 2Aarhus University (Denmark)The concept of extrinsic chirality, i.e. optical activity of nonchiral media exhibited at oblique illumination, isgeneralized to include single-particle plasmonic nanostructures. We observe circular dichroism in irregulararrays of two different types of metallic nanostructures, non-concentric rings and asymmetrically stackeddisks, in the visible and near-infrared regions. By using computer simulations, we show that extrinsic chira-lity in these systems is, importantly, due to individual nonchiral particles. We propose a mechanism for thechiroptical response of single-particle plasmonic structures.

The circular dichroism is retrieved from transmissionspectra. The dependence of spectral characteristics on the geometrical parameters of the planar chiral meta-materials is analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain method. Due to the enhanced chiroptical near-fieldresponse and tunable spectral behavior, proposed PCM arrays may have potential for biosensing applicationsof chiral biomolecules.

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

1Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom), 2University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 3University of St. An-drews (United Kingdom), 4Purdue University (USA)We study the potential for enhanced nonlinear refractive index (n2) that exploits the low complex permittivityattained in the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) regime. Our approach does not resort to optical resonances nor tothe enhancement of the longitudinal field component. Experiments performed on Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thinfilms show a six-fold increase of the nonlinear refractive index at the ENZ wavelength (=1300 nm). Thisenhancement, combined with the low losses in the film, may enable studies of non-perturbative nonlineareffects.

The statistics of reflected light intensitiesstrongly differs from the Rayleigh distribution typical of a completely disordered medium, indicative of inten-sity correlations.

17:30 : Invited talkDirectionality in coherent dipole-dipole interactionsJoerg Bernhard Goette1, Gaoyong Sun2, Koen Corstiaan van Kruining2, Thomas Pohl21University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (Ger-many)We investigate the photon mediated interaction of atoms trapped in the evanescent field of a waveguide ornanofibre. The evanescent field features a locking between the spin and the direction of propagation whichwe employ to drive selectively coherent dipole-dipole interactions between the trapped atoms.

17:50 : Invited talkChirality control at the nanoscaleXavier Zambrana-Puyalto, N. BonodAix-Marseille University (France)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 lightemission. It is observed that metallic spherical nanoparticles spoil the chirality of light emission by yieldingachiral fields. In contrast, thanks to the combined excitation of magnetic and electric modes, dielectric Si-based particles feature the ability to inhibit or boost the chirality of light emission.

18:10 : Invited talkChirality in evanescent near fieldsEuan HendryUniversity of Exeter (United Kingdom)We demonstrate the generation of short-range, chiral electromagnetic fields by the excitation of chiral arraysof metallic antennas, and present proof of principal experiments using chiral microwave antennas and smallprobe helices to represent chiral molecules. By building up a physical understanding of both the generationof chiral near fields and their interaction with chiral matter, one can begin to harness the potential for sensing,measurement and characterization.

1University of Strathclyde (United Kingdom), 2University of Glasgow (United Kingdom)Light with spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization, such as vector and Poincare beams, can alsohave non-uniform helicity density. The resultant gradients in helicity density will generate a force that willinteract differently with opposite enantiomers of chiral molecules. By propagating these structured beamsthrough nonlinear self-focusing media we can enhance this chiral force with the potential for manipulatingchiral molecules.

18:50 : Invited talkChirality of microwave fieldsEugene Kamenetskii, Maksim Berezin, Elad Hollander, Reuven ShavitBen Gurion University (Israel)In optics, the field chirality on the subwavelength scales can be obtained based on special-form plasmonicstructures. It was shown that with use of quasi-2D ferrite disks with magnetic-dipolar-mode (MDM) oscillationsone can observe near-field chirality in microwaves. The fields originated from a MDM ferrite disk, - magneto-electric fields - carry both spin and orbital angular momentums. They are characterized by power-flow vorticesand non-zero helicity. We consider ME-field chirality in the near- and far-field regions of microwave radiation.

1King Saud University (Saudi Arabia), 2University of York (United Kingdom), 3Technical University of Crete(Greece)We consider the interaction of a two-level atom with a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) light beam with high valuesof radial index, p , and/or winding number l. We focus on the effects of the Gouy phase together with otherphase contributions due to the curvature in a LG beam when it interacts with atoms at near resonance.

19:30 : Helicity transfer between particlesManuel Nieto-VesperinasCSIC (Spain)Due to the conservation of the electromagnetic helicity, I will show the consequence for energy transfer ofa recent optical theorem that I established for the helicity of wave-fields, (equivalent to the so-called opticalchirality for time-harmonic waves), on scattering with chiral structures. In analogy with a FRET process, thehelicity is transferred between a donor and acceptor thus conveying information of their respective chiralityproperties.

16:40 : Invited talkOptical signal dispersion in hyperbolic metamaterialsTomasz Stefaniuk, Anatoly ZayatsKing’s College London (United Kingdom)We present the study of ultrashort pulse dynamics in hyperbolic plasmonic metamaterial. The transient Kerr-type nonlinear response of metamaterials is simulated by introducing the nonlinearity of Au using the twotemperature 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. Wedemonstrate that this effect can be used for dispersion management of ultrashort pulses.

17:00 : Invited talkHyperbolic Metamaterials with Complex GeometryAndrei V. Lavrinenko, Andrei Andryieuski, Sergei Zhukovsky, Osamu Takayama, Evgeniy Skhondin,Mohammad Aryaee Panah, Radu Malureanu, Flemming JensenTechnical University of Denmark (Denmark)We investigate new geometries of hyperbolic metamaterials such as highly corrugated structures, nanoparti-cle monolayer assemblies, super-structured or vertically arranged multilayers and nanopillars. All structuresretain basic properties of hyperbolic metamaterials, but have functionality improved on particular purpose:increased absorption, radiative decay enginnering, and selective control over volume plasmon-polaritons ordirectional surface waves.

17:20 : Invited talkAdvanced plasmonic metamaterials for ultrasensitive biosensingAndrei V. KabashinAix-Marseille University (France)This presentation will overview our on-going activities on the improvement of physical sensitivity of plasmonicbiosensors. Our approach is based on the employment of designed plasmonic metamaterials, which couldprovide a much improved sensing response over conventional Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensorconfigurations and offer novel attractive functionalities for biological sensing/recognition.

17:40 : Block-copolymer based self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterials in the visible rangeXuan Wang1, Kevin Ehrhardt1, Morten Kildemo2, Alexandre Baron1, Valeria Lotito1, Philippe Barois1,Ashod Aradian1, Virginie Ponsinet11Bordeaux University (France), 2NTNU (Norway)Hyperbolic metamaterials use the control of the propagative modes through the engineering of the dispersionrelation, and are considered highly promising to reach different meta-properties. However, simple and largescale fabrication technologies allowing controlled final optical properties at chosen frequency ranges (inclu-ding the visible one) are still needed. Here we present the fabrication and optical study using spectroscopicellipsometry, of nanocomposites based on metal nanoparticles embedded in a self-assembled anisotropicpolymer host, presenting a strong spectrally selective optical anisotropy.

17:55 : Hyperbolic Magnetic Media as Tunable Slab LensesRair Macedo1, Robert L. Stamps1, Thomas Dumelow2

1University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil)We investigate a class of hyperbolic materials that not only display negative refraction and focusing in a lenswith parallel sides but also allow one to modify the focal length of aslab lens with an externally applied mag-netic eld. This is possible because antiferromagnets aregyrotropic and support magnetic polaritons whosefrequencies are sensitive to magnetic elds. Inaddition, a rich caustic structure emerges at low temperatures,when damping should be small.

18:10 : Purcell effect in multiperiodic multilayered metal-dielectric metamaterialsAlexandr V. Chebykin1, Victoria Babicheva2, Ivan V. Iorsh1, Alexey A. Orlov1, Pavel Belov1, SergeiZhukovsky3

1ITMO University (Russia), 2Georgia State University (USA), 3DTU Fotonik (Denmark)Purcell effect in multiperiodic metal-dielectric metamaterials was studied theoretically. We have demonstratedthat one can use multiperiodicity to obtain greater values of Purcell factor than in ordinary periodic metamate-rials. Further enhancement of spontaneous emission was reached by including a cavity layer in multiperiodicstructure. We have analyzed the dependency of Purcell factor on the emitter location for structures bothwith and without cavity. Our results can be useful for more efficient manipulation of spontaneous emission inmetamaterials.

124


1University of Freiburg (Germany), 2University of Sydney (Australia), 3French-German Research Institute ofSaint-Louis (France)Wire media can be used for non-diffractive, sub-diffraction-limited image transmission over several wave-length. A perfect reconstruction of transmitted field distribution, however, has been limited to narrow frequencywindows defined by the Fabry-Perot resonance condition. We propose and demonstrate that this restricationcan be overcome by using ultra short THz pulses and measuring the electric field in the time domain.

Caldwell11United States Naval Research Laboratory (USA), 2U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (USA), 3University ofManchester (United Kingdom), 4National Institute for Materials Science, (Japan)We use scanning near-field optical microscopy to study the response of hexagonal boron nitride nanoconesat infrared frequencies, where this material behaves as a hyperbolic medium. The obtained images are do-minated by a series of hot rings that occur on the sloped sidewalls of the nanocones, which are consistentwith directional propagation of hyperbolic phonon-polaritons (HPhP) rays that are launched at the edges andzigzag through the interior of the nanocones, sustaining multiple internal reflections off the sidewalls.

16:40 : Invited talkUnitary dynamics of a propagating quantum fluid of light in a cavityless nonlinear optical mediumP.- E. Larre, Iacopo CarusottoUniversita di Trento (Italy)We discuss the potential of bulk nonlinear optical media in cavityless configurations for quantum statisticalmechanics studies of the unitary many-body dynamics in a gas of interacting photons. A critical comparisonwith more usual driven-dissipative dynamics in microcavity devices is made.

Wright41Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom), 2CNR-Istituto Nazionale di Ottica (Italy), 3Universita di Trento(Italy), 4University of Arizona (USA)The transverse spatial profile of an intense light beam propagating in a thermal nonlinear medium evolvesfollowing the hydrodynamical equations. The interplay between the geometry of the light beam and the non-local thermal response strongly affects superfluid behaviour, as shown by experiments studying quantisedvortex nucleation from an obstacle. A properly tailored nonlocal response and beam geometry is also usedto simulate the Newton-Schrodinger equation and provide an experimental testbed for astrophysical studiese.g. of boson stars.

125


1University of St Andrews (USA), 2Technische Universitat Dresden (Germany), 3Universitat Wurzburg (Ger-many)Under adequate conditions, cavity-polaritons can form a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Here, we de-monstrate room-temperature BEC of cavity-polaritons in simple laminated microcavities filled with biologicallyproduced enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). The unique molecular structure of eGFP prevents ex-citon annihilation even at high excitation densities, thus facilitating BEC. BEC is clearly evidenced by a distinctthreshold, an interaction-induced blue shift of the condensate and the presence of a second threshold, whichis associated with the onset of photon lasing.

17:40 : Invited talkPolariton lasing in hybrid organic-inorganic microcavityG. Paschos1, N. Somaschi2, G. Christmann2, D. Coles3, D. G. Lidzey3, Z. Hatzopoulos2, S. I. Tsintzos2,P. G. Lagoudakis4, Pavlos Savvidis1

1University of Crete (Greece), 2Institute of Electronic Structure / Laser-FORTH (Greece), 3University of Shef-field (United Kingdom), 4University of Southampton (United Kingdom)In this work we study hybrid exciton-polaritons that arise from mixing of two different organic-inorganic exci-tonic species with the resonant photon mode. A planar microcavity structure consists of GaAs QWs and Jag-gregate molecular dye assembled together in a multi-layered stack to form the active region. Angle-resolvedphotoluminescence at 80K reveals clear anticrossing. Furthermore, through power dependent measurementswe demonstrate for the first time strong nonlinear emission and onset of hybrid polariton lasing regime.

18:00 : Invited talkTowards strongly confined exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensates with a polymer at ambientconditionsDarius Urbonas, Fabio Scafirimuto, Lijian Mai, Rainer F. Mahrt, Thilo StoeferleIBM Research (Switzerland)We create exciton-polaritons in a microcavity filled with a ladder-type conjugated polymer. At room tempera-ture, we observe thermalization and, above a critical excitation density, Bose-Einstein condensation of the po-laritons, as evidenced through nonlinear emission, interaction-induced blue-shift and long-range macroscopiccoherence. Our approach demonstrates a radically simplified route to investigate Bose-Einstein condensationphysics at ambient conditions with easy-to-process non-crystalline materials. Finally, we discuss recent ex-periments on nanoscale defect cavities to produce strongly confined condensates and possible ways towardsquantum simulation.

1CRHEA-CNRS (France), 2Institut Pascal (France), 3L2C (France), 4LPN-CNRS (France)The condensation phase diagram of a ZnO microcavity shows that in wide bandgap microcavities, contraryto a common assumption, the strong exciton-LO phonon interaction does not necessarily lead to a reductionof the polariton condensation threshold. Most important, the condensation threshold is found to be a stronglyvarying function of the excitation spot size and to display an absolute minimum, for this microcavity and atroom-temperature, for an excitation spot diameter of about 12 micrometers.

18:40 : Invited talkControl of the generation and propagation of polariton condensates at 300K in ZnO microcavitiesRereao Hahe1, Hamis Gargoubi1, Christelle Brimont1, Brahim Guizal1, Sihem Jaziri2, Sophie Bouchoule3,Xavier Lafosse3, Feng Li4, Mathieu Leroux4, Fabrice Semond4, Jesus Zuniga-Perez4, Thierry Guillet11Universite de Montpellier (France), 2Faculte des Sciences de Bizerte (Tunisia), 3LPN-CNRS (France), 4CRHEA-CNRS (France)The spatial dynamics of the formation of a polariton condensate under a tightly focused excitation is imagedthrough 2D near-field and far-field 2D tomography in a ZnO microcavity, up to room temperature. The mode-lling exhibits the role of the outwards polariton flux caused by the reservoir repulsion, that leads to a 3 to 10fold increase of the condensation threshold and is imprinted in the shape of the polariton condensate.

Nesterenko2, Anouar Rahmouni2, Zouheir Sekkat21Kobe University (Japan), 2Morrocan Foundation for Advanced Science, Innovation and Research (MAScIR)(Morocco)Fano resonances arising from coupling between the surface plasmon polariton and planar waveguide modessupported by multilayer planar structures are studied theoretically and experimentally. Sharp Fano resonan-ces with high Q values in angle-scan attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectra are theoretically predicted andconfirmed experimentally. The multilayer structures can easily be fabricated without nanofabrication techni-ques and allow potential applications in sensing and enhanced spectroscopy.

17:00 : Invited talkUtilizing Fano resonances in chiral and dielectric nanoparticle oligomersBen Hopkins1, Francesco Monticone2, Andrey E. Miroshnichenko1, Andrea Alu2, Yuri Kivshar11Australian National University (Australia), 2University of Texas at Austin (USA)We present recent results on the use of Fano resonances to provide (i) circularly-dichroic behavior in planarchiral nanoparticle oligomers, and (ii) strong enhancement of magnetic response from silicon nanoparticles.This work thereby illustrates a more directed use of Fano resonances to produce novel optical behavior innanoantenna and metasurface scattering geometries.

17:20 : Invited talkFano resonances and band structure of two-dimensional photonic structuresPeter MarkosComenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia)We calculate the transmission of the electromagnetic wave propagating througha linear array of dielectric,metallic and metamaterial cylinders and show that frequencies ofobserved Fano resonances coincide withthe position of very narrow frequency bands found in thespectra of corresponding two-dimensional photoniccrystals. We discuss some other consequencesof excited Fano resonances to the frequency spectrum oftwo-dimensional photonic crystals.

17:40 : Invited talkDemonstration of true electromagnetically induced transparency in a metamaterialToshihiro Nakanishi, Masao KitanoKyoto University (Japan)We propose a way to realize electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a metamaterial. The incidenceof auxiliary electromagnetic waves renders the metamaterial transparent exactly in the same way as the caseof original EIT effect in an atomic medium. We show the design of the metamaterial loaded with nonlinearcapacitances and demonstrate the EIT effect in the metamaterial in microwave region.

18:00 : Invited talkDegenerate Fano resonance between multipole surface plasmons in a metallic nanohole arrayMunehiro Nishida, Noriyuki Hatakenaka, Yutaka KadoyaHiroshima University (Japan)When the size of a nanohole occupies relatively large portion of the unit cell ofan array of nanoholes perforatedin thin metallic film, the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs)are combined by the higher order waveguidemodes 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 producessharp Fanoresonance and causes nearly perfect absorption with strong field enhancement.

18:20 : Invited talkMultiple electric and magnetic Fano resonances in single-layered core-shell particlesTiago Jose Arruda1, Alexandre Souto Martinez1, Felipe Arruda de Araujo Pinheiro2

1Universidade de Sao Paulo (Brazil), 2Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)Using the Lorenz-Mie theory, we derive an analytical condition for the occurrence ofmutiple Fano resonancesin single scattering by coated spheres composed of magnetic materials.This condition establishes that Fano-comb scattering response depends uniquely on materialparameters and thickness of the shell, provided thatit is magnetic and thin compared to thescatterer radius. We argue that both position and profile of these Fanoresonances could beexternally tuned by engineering magnetic materials.

18:40 : Invited talkMultivariable Fano line shape in guided-mode resonant gratingsDmitry A. Bykov, Leonid L. Doskolovich, Nikita V. GolovastikovThe Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia)We study generalizations of the Fano line shape that describe the scattering amplitude as a function of seve-ral variables. In particular, we obtain simple approximations for the transmission coefficient of guided-moderesonant (GMR) gratings as a function of both frequency and in-plane wavevector components of the incidentwave. The approximations take into account symmetries of the structure, causality and energy conserva-tion conditions. The proposed theory describes angular tolerances of GMR filters and spatio-temporal pulsetransformations implemented by GMR gratings.

1Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 2Liverpool University (United Kingdom), 3Multiwave AG (Switzer-land)The full elasticity equations are a vector system that connect stresses and displacements. For structuredmedia, composites or materials that have resonators or inclusions embedded within them or upon them, it isnatural to try and obtain effective mediaequations. Unfortunately in several applications one is not in a regimewhere quasi-static homogenisations is valid and so we consider dynamic homogenisation.

We findthe system exhibit multiple EPs that can collide and merge, leading to higher order singularities and topolo-gical characteristics not found in two-state systems. The new physics obtained here in acoustic systems canbe extended to other kinds of waves.

We started with a beam in which achirped structure was machined at one side. At the other side a passive vibration isolation system was used.In the middle wave packets were generated using an electromagnetic-acoustic transducer. For different valuesof the chirp intensity the analog the rainbow trapping effect, was found. The predicted effect was measured inthe structured beam.

Craster21Multiwave Technologies AG (Switzerland), 2Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 3Aix-Marseille Uni-versity (France)The propagation of waves through microstructured media with periodically arranged inclusions has ap-plications in many areas of physics and engineering, stretching from photonic crystals through to seismicmetamaterials. In the high-frequency regime, modeling such behavior is complicated by multiple scatteringof the resulting short waves between the inclusions. Our aim is to develop an asymptotic theory for modelingsystems with arbitrarily shaped inclusions located on general Bravais lattices.

We generate a whole class of bio-inspired cloaks that are deduced from mappings of the plane withmorphing techniques. Interestingly, morphing techniques allow us to straightforwardly deduce elastic wavepatterns in bio-inspired cloaks from the rigorous computations performed with FDTD simulations.

Quantum Monte-Carlo simulations show splitting of the Wigner function ofmetamolecule near-field and a strong (by the order of magnitude) narrowing of spectral line of metamoleculefluorescence which take place at finite domain over the coherent drive with sharp threshold.

1Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium), 2Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), 3Universitat de Valencia(Spain)We present a differential tool to find the cross-section geometry of integrated waveguides that matches atarget dispersion profile. Our approach is more efficient than usual trial-and-error procedures, particularly forgeometries with several degrees of freedom. By applying our strategy, we find several ultraflattened dispersioncurves over 350 nm bandwidth in a silicon-on-insulator waveguide in less than 10 iterations.

18:35 : Invited talkEffect of jitter in subwavelength grating waveguides and devicesJiri CtyrokyInstitute of Photonics and Electronics AS CR (Czech Republic)Subwavelength grating waveguides are important building blocks of modern Si-based integrated-optical cir-cuitry. 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 ofsuch waveguides was numerically studied. Results will be analyzed and physically justified, and conclusionsfor the device design will be drawn.

18:00 : Invited talkPlasmon-mediated generation of continuum emission in metal nanoparticle hot spotsSebastian Bange, Tobias Haug, Philippe Klemm, John M. LuptonUniversitat Regensburg (Germany)Ultrafast near-infrared laser pulses can excite localized broadband luminescence on disordered noble-metalnanoparticle surfaces. The nonlinear emission from individual hot spots spans a continuum covering the near-infrared and visible range, and its spectroscopic signatures can be explained by radiative relaxation of hotelectrons within the conduction band. The electron gas in the emitting particles is heated to several thousandKelvin, since the plasmonic environment enhances the excitation cross section and funnels additional energyinto the hot spot.

P39: Active dispersion compensation for metamateirals and devices based on the wideband fre-quency response of non-Foster elementsAnjie Zhu1, Chun Wang1, Shan Qiao2, Yongzhi Sun2, Dexin Ye1, Lixin Ran1

1Zhejiang University (China), 2Nanjing Institute of Electronic Equipement (China)We experimentally investigated the full-range frequency response of non-Foster elements (NE). Our resultsindicate that the de-embedded impedance of NEs co-existing with properly designed stabilization networkshas inverted Lorentzian resonance that satisfies the Kramers-Kronig relations. While the left-side non-Fosterresponse is intrinsically accompanied by a negative, frequency dependent resistance, there also exists anon-Foster response on the right side of the resonance. This helps to achieve high-frequency non-Fosterresponses and wideband compensation for frequency dispersions of metamaterials and devices.

The proposed AMC design successfully enhanced the operating bandwidth about 12.02percentcompared to the others designs while maintaining the resonant frequency at 9.41 GHz. In addition, it isobserved that the proposed AMC unit cell is capable to have higher permeability of 6.26 and lower permittivityof 1.06 at resonant frequency.

1Vilnius Gediminas Technical university (Lithuania), 2Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (Lithuania)Using continuous wave terahertz spectroscopy and numerical simulations we investigate fundamental eigen-modes and higher-order resonances in planar arrays of split-ring resonators (SRRs). Special attention is paidto the interaction between SRRs in metamaterial arrays and properties of diffraction (lattice) mode in periodicarrays of SRRs. We observe tuning of resonant frequency of high-Q factor and high-frequency lattice mo-de by variation of parameters of individual resonators which may be advantageous for fabrication of tunablemetamaterial filters and modulators.

P46: Parametric instability of non-Hermitian systems near the exceptional pointAlexander Andreevich Zyablovsky, Eugeny Sergeevich Andrianov, Alexander Alexandrovich PukhovAll-Russia Research Institute of Automatics (Russia)In contrast to Hermitian systems, modes of non-Hermitian ones are nonorthogonal. As a result, system energydepends not only on mode amplitudes but also on phase shift between them. In this work we show that it ispossible to increase amplitudes of the modes without increasing of system energy. Moreover, we demonstratethat when system is in exceptional point any infinitesimally small changing of the system parameters leads toincreasing of mode amplitudes.

P50: Quenching, Plasmonic, and Radiative Decays in Nanogap-based AntennasRemi Faggiani, Philippe LalanneUniversity of Bordeaux (France)

143


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

1King’s College London (United Kingdom), 2Argonne National Laboratory (USA), 3University of North Florida(USA)In this presentation we present some of the unique opportunities hybrid plasmonic systems offer in the designof active plasmonic metamaterials and devices. In particular, we show that an active control over the modalcoherence within hybrid system leads to enhanced nonlinear optical properties being triggered at ultrafasttimescales.

10:20 : Invited talkScalable Fabrication of 2 nm-Wide Plasmonic Nanotrench Arrays For Strong Field EnhancementsJoel K. W. YangSingapore 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 scale-up the fabrication of nanotrench arrays in Au. Combining top-down and bottom-up techniques, double-gapstructures were patterned, with gaps measuring =2 nm. These structures exhibit ultrasmooth surfaces, asachieved with template stripping with reusable templates. The double-gap structure increases the surfacearea where light is localized thus enabling enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG).

HegmannKent State University (USA)To investigate how chirality propagates from a chiral nanoscale surface, we studied gold nanoparticles fun-ctionalized with axially chiral binaphthyl molecules. In particular, we synthesized three enantiomeric pairs ofchiral ligand-capped gold nanoparticles differing in size, curvature, and ligand density that allowed us to tunethe chirality transfer from nanoscale solid surfaces to a bulk anisotropic liquid crystal (nematic) medium. Ulti-mately we are examining how far the chirality from a nanoparticle surface reaches into a soft, self-assembledbulk material.

We theoretically demonstrate that the combination of the spectral singularity in a PT-symmetric system and the chemical sensitivity of graphene may give rise to exotic scattering responses,strongly influenced by the presence of charged impurities in graphene at the spontaneous PT symmetry-breaking point.

In the present work we demonstrate through compu-tational study that the broad-angle TM behavior cannot be associated with periodicity, instead it is the resultof coupling with a surface electromagnetic. Previous experimental results are consistent our computationalstudy and we highlight the potential augment absorber response by tailoring the surface wave.

This multimodaloptical behavior can be directly evidenced and explained but also tailored both spatially and spectrally. Thisintermediate regime that combines propagative and local modes is exploited for a new implementation ofinformation processing devices, including complex Boolean logic gates.

10:50 : Invited talkRevealing Optical Properties of Two-Dimensional Semiconductors at Relevant Length ScalesP. James SchuckLawrence Bekeley National Lab (USA)Reduced-dimensionality materials for photonic and optoelectronic applications including energy conversion,solid-state lighting, sensing, and information technology are undergoing rapid development. The search fornovel materials based on reduced-dimensionality is driven by new physics. Understanding and optimizing ma-terial properties requires characterization at the relevant length scale, which is often below the diffraction limit.I will describe recent near-field advances that lay groundwork for generally-applicable nano-optical studies ofthese low-D materials, and will show recent results on 2D semiconductors.

However, most of the lasing cavities reported so farare fabricated using bottom-up approaches, which limits the scalability and reproducibility of the plasmonicdevices.

Lebedev Physical Institute (Russia), 2John Hopkins University (USA), 3University Bourgogne Franche-Comte (France)We investigate spontaneous light emission by electrons passing through a nanoscale metal constriction. Wefind that the emission is caused by two distinct mechanisms. The first mechanism is driven by electron colli-ding with the effective potential of the contact. The second emission process involves collisions of electronswith the walls of the constriction. We find that multiple collisions with the walls can lead to the orders-of-magnitude higher light emission probability in comparison to single collision with the effective potential.

12:05 : Strong Plasmon-Emitter Coupling: Beyond the Jaynes-Cummings ModelBenjamin Lawrie, Roderick B. Davidson II, Pavel LougovskiOak Ridge National Laboratory (USA)Abstract-Strong plasmon-emitter coupling has received growing attention over the past decade because ofthe potential of engineering a plasmonic analogue to cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) that exploitsmode volumes well below the diffraction limit. However, the demonstration of a true plasmonic cQED platformremains elusive. Here, we will compare current descriptions of strongly coupled systems with experimentallyrecorded femtosecond plasmon dynamics in order to move towards an accessible platform for high efficiencynonlinear optics at the single photon scale.

10:20 : Invited talkSpin-orbit coupling in photonic systems: from Optical Spin Hall Effect to Z topological insulatorGuillaume MalpuechUniversity Blaise Pascal (France)The optical modes of photonic structures are the so-called TE and TM modes which bring intrinsic spin-orbitcoupling and chirality to these systems. This, combined with the unique flexibility of design of the photonicpotential, and the mixing with excitonic resonances, allows to achieve many phenomena, often analogous toother solid state systems. In this contribution, I will review several of these realizations, namely the opticalspin Hall effect, Berry curvature for photons, and the photonic/polaritonic topological insulator.

1Universite Paris-Saclay (France), 2Technion (Israel)Waves propagating in a spatially varying potential present modifications of their spectral properties, whichdepend 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

physical properties. Such quasi-crystals are also expected to manifest topological properties characterizedby Chern numbers. I will show that cavity polaritons provide an excellent platform to probe these fractal andtopological features.

We focus on a particular application of great interest in this field: the direct and accuratemeasurement of polariton-polariton interactions. The relevance of such an approach beyond polaritons is alsoaddressed.

Paul UrbachDelft University of Technology (The Netherlands)A method to excite the non-radiating anapole mode of a high index isotropic dielectric nanosphere is presen-ted. With tightly focused radially polarized beam illumination, the main-contributing electric dipole mode andmagnetic 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 under4 PI configuration, the ideal radiationless anapole can be excited.

11:40 : Invited talkElectromagnetically Induced Transparency and AbsorptionPhilippe TassinChalmers University (Sweden)I will review our work on electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption in metamaterials. By com-bining dark and radiative resonators in the unit cell, it is possible to create dispersion-engineered metama-terials with transmission spectra reminiscent of electromagnetically induced transparency. We show how theresponse can be improved by designing both the radiative and the dissipative loss of the constituent resona-tors.

12:00 : Invited talkOptical spin-dependent Fano resonancesXianji Piao, Sunkyu Yu, Namkyoo ParkSeoul National University (Korea)We introduce optical spin-dependent Fano resonance, using a chiral resonator enclosed within a pair ofdesigned birefringent mirrors. It is shown that the interference between two nondegenerate resonances fromthe presence of birefringent mirrors develops differentiated Fano resonance for each spin. We prove thatthese 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-angular-momentum without the aid of circular-dichroism or magneto-optical effect.

12:20 : Invited talkInterference of nano-vortex fields formed by plasmonic cavitiesKeiji SasakiHokkaido University (Japan)We demonstrate the capability of forming the single-nanometer-sized optical vortex fields using designedplasmonic nanostructures. The orbital and spin angular momenta provided by a Laguerre-Gaussian beamare transferred to localized plasmons of a metal multimer structure and then confined into a nano-gap. Nano-scale position dependent Fano resonance spectra are observed, which are caused by interference of multiplevortex modes having different angular momenta.

1University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2University of Massachusetts (USA)Here we show that the hybridisation of plasmonic modes (electric and magnetic) in a chiral metamaterial(inverse -solid hybrid) can be manipulated using chiral (bio)materials, and the effects are dependent both onthe molecular and macromolecular stereochemical structure. Biomaterials with different secondary structuremotifs (i.e. a-helical, b-sheet and random coil structures) have differing effects on the level of coupling andthus provide unique fingerprints of biomacromolecular structure.

10:40 : Invited talkChiral Tips and Nanoparticles for Visible and Ultraviolet PlasmonicsDavid J. NorrisETH Zurich (Switzerland)In an effort to produce chiral plasmonic structures beyond helices and nanoparticle aggregates, we recentlydeveloped a simple route to produce pyramidal tips and nanoparticles with a chiral shape. These structures,which are made from either gold or aluminum, can exhibit plasmonic resonances with intense chiral nearfields. In this talk, we will discuss the fabrication, characterization, and use of these structures.

11:00 : Probing chirality of molecule in the presence of nanoparticlesTong Wu, Xiangdong ZhangBeijing Institute of technology School of physics (China)We present a T-matrix method to study the interaction between optical waves and the chiral molecule in acluster of nanoparticles. We find the plasmon mediated interaction between two molecules is strong when twomolecules are inserted into plasmonic hot spots of nanostructures. Furthermore, large circular dichroism maybe aroused from structure chirality of nanocomposites. We also investigate the interaction exists between theoptical orbital angular momentum and the chiral cluster.

11:15 : Invited talkClassical electromagnetic scattering response of topological insulatorsTom Mackay1, Akhlesh Lakhtakia2

1University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom), 2The Pennsylvania State University (USA)Classically, a topological insulator may b emodelled either as (i) an achiral nonreciprocal biisotropic dielectric-magnetic material, or (ii) an isotropic dielectric-magnetic material whose surface is endowed with charge andcurrent densities characterized by a surface admittance. In terms of electromagnetic scattering responsesfrmo a topological-insulator half-space and from a topological-insulator sphere, the two models yield thesame results. However, only model (ii) is consistent with topologiical insulators having protected conductingstates at their surfaces.

For general illumination / scattering directions, electromagnetic dualitysymmetry is an additional necessary condition. We use these two conditions to design structures exhibiting

151


optical activity in general scattering directions.

I will discuss theinteraction of cold rubidium atoms with optical vortex beams, and report on our measurements of magneticfield mediated EIT (electro-magnetically induced transparency). We observed that the local opacity of the coldatoms is dictated by the structure of the optical vortex and the applied magnetic field.

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

Experiments with Au na-nospheres and nanorods demonstrate that these devices can optically trap nanoparticles as small as thirtynanometers with sub-mW laser power. By modelling the time-series transmission data while single nanoparti-cles are trapped in the cavity, it is possible to quantify the size and anisotropy of the particles with nanometerprecision.

However, subwavelength grating structures have some design and manufacturingchallenges, in part due to the small features which are near the diffraction limit of most optical lithographysystems used for integrated photonics.

However as data rates increase, present technology basedon well-established CMOS electronics is becoming increasingly difficult to scale and consequently opticaldata networks are struggling to satisfy current user demands. Recently a number of advanced approacheshave been reported developed to overcome this bottleneck based on all optical signal processing using siliconphotonics devices.

12:00 : Invited talkHomogenisation of sub-wavelength grating waveguidesTrevor James Hall, Hamdam NikkhahUniversity of Ottawa (Canada)The design of sub-wavelength planar light structures is challenging because nanoscale simulation over thefull device may be unreliable. Rather reliance must be placed on a simple homogenisation procedure that cap-tures properties pertinent to the larger scale while smoothing over the smaller scale detail. A homogenisationapproach is described that combines available tools with simple design rules to accurately model subwave-length grating waveguides even closed to Bragg resonance provided proper account is taken of temporal andspatial dispersion.

Keiichi EdagawaUniversity 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-connectedrandom network strucrture with highly ordered local tetrahedral configuration. Our calculations indicated thatthe PBG of PAD is robust against introduction of positional disorder but extremely fragile against fracmentationof the network structure. PBG formation in a higher frequency region was newly found in a PAD structure ofisolated dielectric spheres.

10:40 : Invited talkHyperuniformity and local self-uniformity: Photonics band gaps in disordered materialsMarian Florescu, Timothy Amoah, Steven SellersUniversity of Surrey (United Kingdom)Hyperuniform disordered photonic structures are a new class of photonic solids with controlled correlationson a wide range of length scales. We explore the natural connection between hyperuniformity and photonicband gaps in structures with a variety of topologies. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of strong isotropyand local self-uniformity as a topological measure for connected disordered networks and demonstrate thatall champion photonic band structures can be classified using the local self-uniformity metric.

We givea simple criterion to predict the transparency property of such a system. This opens new perspectives in thecontrol of waves in strongly disordered systems and for the design of photonic materials.

For thispurpose we study two-dimensional high refractive index disordered materials. The dielectric structure is de-rived from packing disks in real and reciprocal space. Our findings suggest that the band gap width can bemaximized by optimization of short-range order. Tailoring of Bragg scattering at the isotropic Brillouin zone isdiscussed.

Thedevice is based on the conductor-gap-silicon hybrid plasmonic platform and utilizes an embedded electro-optical polymer to control the wavelength-selective coupling between two bus lines. The novel micro-ring-diskresonator combines the easier fabrication of a microdisk resonator with the lower capacitance of a microringresonator and provides high modulation depths, low insertion losses, and power consumption around 1 fJ/bit.

We will discuss, how these two indivi-dual native modes can strongly couple into a new exotic nearly-frozen light mode. This unconventional lightmode gives rise to an extra-ordinary mesoscale EM enhancement that is important to harnessing a stronglight-matter interaction.

We show here how a resonantly driven quantum dot can create indistinguishablephotons for use in on-chip quantum optics experiments. Further, we present a device where the source andcircuit, bonded together, create and manipulate quantum light at cryogenic temperatures.

15:20 : A modal approach to light emission and propagation in coupled cavity waveguide systemsPhilip T. Kristensen1, Jakob Rosenkrantz de Lasson2, Niels Gregersen2, Jesper Mork2

1Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin (Germany), 2Technical University of Denmark (Denmark)We theoretically investigate systems of optical cavities coupled to waveguides, which necessitates the in-troduction of non-trivial radiation conditions and normalization procedures. In return, the approach providessimple and accurate modeling of Green functions, Purcell factors and perturbation corrections, as well as analternative approach to the so-called coupled mode theory. In combination, these results may form part of thefoundations for highly efficient, yet physically transparent models of light emission and propagation in bothclassical and quantum integrated photonics.

1The University of Manchester (United Kingdom), 2DTU Fotonik (Denmark)One aspect of solid-state photonic devices that distinguishes them from their atomic counterparts is the una-voidable interaction between system excitations and lattice vibrations of the host material. I shall explain howthis coupling may lead to surprising departures in emission properties between solid-state and atomic sys-tems. Specifically, I shall show that in solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics, interactions with the hostvibrational environment can generate quantum cavity- emitter correlations in regimes that are semiclassicalfor atomic systems.

1University of Central Florida (USA), 2UT Austin (USA)It is demonstrated that in the presence of gain and loss saturation effects, a PT-symmetric coupled arrange-ment is able to undergo a transition in reverse order to that expected from a linear model. This process wasobserved in a set of semiconductor microring resonators by optically pumping one of the rings while keepingthe other in the dark. The laser modes gradually moved from a broken phase to the PT-symmetric regime.

We describe an in-silico rational design approach based on theoreti-cal modeling that optimizes cavitation without breaking the nanostructure. As an example, we optimize thecore radius and the shell layer thickness of Au-SiO2 nanoshell nanostructures to minimize the laser fluen-ce needed for nanocavitation, without altering the nanolens integrity.

15:00 : Multipolar behavior of hollow plasmonic nanospheres: obvious or mysterious?Ari Sihvola, Dimitrios C. Tzarouchis, Pasi Yla-OijalaAalto University (Finland)Localized surface plasmon resonances appear on spherical subwavelength nanospheres around a frequencyfor which the real part of the dielectric function is -2. For silver, this takes place at around 356 nm. As the size ofthe sphere increases, this resonance will be red-shifted. However, regarding this shift, the size matters muchless than changes in shape and structure of the nanoscatterer. This presentation focuses on the resonancestructure of negative-permittivity scatterers, including multipoles and plasmon hybridization.

15:15 : Spatial non-locality and Landau damping in the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to surfaceplasmonsAlexei Vagov1, I. A. Larkin2, M. D. Croitoru3, K. Keil1, V. M. Axt11Bayreuth University (Germany), 2Minho University (Portugal), 3Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium)We investigate the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to surface plasmons on a metal surface, describedusing a continuous media model with a non-local Lindhard dielectric response. The time evolution is found bysolving quantum dynamical equations in the rotating wave approximation. The solution demonstrates that thenon-locality in the dielectric response and the Landau damping notably change the system dynamics. Thetime evolution reveals Rabi oscillations and follows a two-time relaxation pattern.

15:30 : The on and off of optical waves in planar multilayer stacksYikuan WangYancheng Teachers University (China)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)/Si3N4is about 0.13 percent. If we combine these two stacks in parallel with each other, the composite structure canturn photons on and off at far fields. This suggests that the beam size and intensity of SPCE rely on the choiceof dielectric materials.

Here, we introduce the conceptof conformal boundary optics, a design theory that determines the optical response for designer input andoutput fields at interfaces of arbirary shapes.

17:10 : Invited talkMetasurface for the creation of surface plasmon vortex and towards multi-functional optofluidicsC.-Y. Lin, C.-F. Chen, C.-T. Ku, C.-B. HuangNational 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 spinangular momentum, i.e., circularly polarized waves. In this talk, we will introduce the advantage of a designedmetasurface, in which vortices could be created under linearly polarized excitations. We will also illustrate theapplications of such novel device for multiple selective controls to micro-particles.

17:30 : Invited talkElectrically Tunable Metasurface AbsorberJuhyung Kang, Junghyun Park, Mark L. BrongersmaStanford 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 plas-mons. The depletion and accumulation operations at the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) wavelength regime of theITO give rise to dramatic changes in the carrier concentration in the ITO, which in turn lead to unprecedentedlysubstantial changes in the optical absorption.

Maier21University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), 2Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 3Australian Natio-nal University (Australia)Optical nonlinearities are intrinsically weak, but can be strengthened in scenarios that provide field enhan-cement mechanisms. Hybrid structures combining the high inherent material nonlinearity of semiconductorsalong 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 spec-tral response of metal dimers loaded with an ITO nanoparticle at their gap is investigated numerically andexperimentally to provide an understanding and design rules.

16:30 : Invited talkNon-Hermitian topological photonicsSteffen Weimann1, Julia M. Zeuner1, Mark Kremer1, Mikael Rechtsman2, Konstantinos Makris3, Yona-tan Plotnik4, Yakov Lumer4, Mark Rudner5, Moti Segev4, Alexander Szameit11Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany), 2The Pennsylvania State University (USA), 3Vienna Universityof Technology (Austria), 4Technion (Israel), 5Niels Bohr Institute (Denmark)We present the first experimental observation of a topological transition in a non-Hermitian system. We mo-nitor the topological transition by employing bulk dynamics only. Moreover, we demonstrate, theoretically andexperimentally, topological interface states in a PT-symmetric system. The PT-symmetric structure has un-broken PT symmetry, i.e., all eigenvalues in the spectrum are real, despite the system’s non-Hermiticity. Thenon-Hermitian behavior is engineered by inducing bending loss by spatially wiggling every second waveguide.

Fegadolli3, Lin Gan4,Axel Scherer3, Zhi-Yuan Li41Nanjing University (China), 2The State University of New York at Buffalo (USA), 3California Institute of Tech-nology (USA), 4Chinese Academy of Sciences (China)Recently, parity-time (PT) symmetric optics has become an emerging field which allows a controlled interplaybetween real and imaginary parts of refractive index. We experimentally synthesize one kind of unidirectionalreflectionless optical metamaterial on a silicon chip where reflection from one side is significantly suppres-sed near the spontaneous PT phase transition point. In addition, on the same platform, we experimentallyrealize passive PT photonic lattices where we observe complex Bloch oscillations that have no counterpart inHermitian lattices.

17:10 : Invited talkNon-Hermitian phase matching in atomic scatteringSebastian Wuester1, Ramy El-Ganainy2

1Bilkent University (Turkey), 2Michigan Technological University (USA)We consider the effect of velocity dependent loss processes on the scattering of ultracold matter-waves. Dueto the loss, the entire process can be viewed as non-Hermitean four-wave-mixing of matter waves. We findthat suitable loss can actually strengthen certain scattering processes that would otherwise be suppressed byenergy and momentum conservation and explore to what extend this effect can be put to use for atom opticalapplications.

17:30 : Invited talkSpontaneous symmetry breaking and switching in coupled photonic crystal nanolasersAlejandro Yacomotti, Philippe Hamel, Mathias Marconi, Fabrice Raineri, Ariel LevensonLPN Laboratory for Photonics and Nanostructures (France)We show spontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking in two coupled photonic crystal nanolasers. This is thefirst experimental demonstration of such transition in micro/nanophotonics. A pitchfork bifurcation exhibitstwo localized states, whose coexistence has been shown by optical switching with short pulses. This opens

exciting avenues for integrated optical flip-flop memories. In addition, the symmetry breaking bifurcation hasbeen observed with only =100 intracavity photons, which makes this system promising to investigate non-classical photon correlations.

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

16:30 : Invited talkInteractions between organic excitons and plasmonic metasurfacesDeirdre M. O’Carroll, Zeqing Shen, Christopher Petoukhoff, Katsuya Noji, Ankur DalsaniaRutgers University (USA)To improve energy conversion efficiency in thin-film organic optoelectronics, light management using nanop-hotonic structures is necessary. Here, our recent work on improving light trapping and light extraction in or-ganic semiconductor thin films using nanostructured silver plasmonic metasurfaces will be presented. Nume-rous optical phenomena, such as absorption induced scattering, out-of-plane waveguiding and morphology-dependent surface plasmon outcoupling, are identified due to exciton-plasmon coupling between the organicsemiconductor and the metasurface.

16:50 : Invited talkEnhanced optical nonlinearities in periodic photonic nanostructures containing patterned grapheneand other 2D materialsNicolae Panoiu, Martin WeismannUniversity College London (United Kingdom)We present a rigorous numerical method to analyze optical higher harmonic generation in one- and two-dimensional (1D, 2D) periodically patterned structures containing different 2D materials, such as graphene,MoS2, and WSe2, and investigate resonantly enhanced nonlinear interactions in such devices.

17:10 : Invited talkPlasmonic resonances in gold nanorod-film coupled systemXingxing Chen1, Richard Blaikie2, Boyang Ding2, Min Qiu1

1Zhejiang University (China), 2University of Otago (New Zealand)Plasmonic resonances in individual gold nanorod-film coupled system have been investigated. The spectralshapes are significantly modified by the gap distance. These modifications arise from the hybridization ofseveral 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 systemare highly dependent on illumination conditions due to interference. Finally we propose an application of thestudied system in facilitating photo-thermal conversion.

1University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong), 2Anhui University (China)When electromagnetic waves strongly interact with metallic nanostructures, it can couple to free electronsnear the metal surface resulting in complex linear and nonlinear responses with fundamental and high-orderharmonic generation. Interestingly, the complex motion of electrons in metallic nanostructures resembles thatof fluids governed by the same hydrodynamic equation. In this work, the nonlinear response from metallic na-nostructures governed by the special selection rules is understood by a finite-difference time-domain solutionto the Maxwell-hydrodynamic equations.

17:50 : Invited talkSelecting a Plasmonic Material Using a Two-Dimensional Analysis of Confinement and PropagationLengthBabak Dastmalchi1, Thomas Koschny1, Costas M. Soukoulis1, Philippe Tassin2

1Iowa State University (USA), 2Shalmers University (Sweden)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 lengthand the confinement strength. In this way, one can naturally account for the trade-off between propagationlength and confinement that is typically observed for plasmonic materials. Our analysis provides guidance onhow to improve the performance of any particular plasmonic application and substantially eases the selectionof the plasmonic material.

18:10 : Plasmonic and thermal properties of TiN/Au core-shell nanoparticlesStacey Drakeley, William Hendren, Robert Bowman, Fumin HuangQueen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom)We report a systematic experimental investigation on the optical and thermal properties of TiN/Au core shellnanoparticles. Coating Au nanoparticles with TiN creates hybrid core-shell structures, which show strongsurface plasmon resonance effects. The plasmonic resonance of such nanoparticles is found to be tunablewith TiN thickness. The thermal properties of such hybrid nanoparticles were also systematically investigatedand compared to bare Au nanoparticles. The results will be significant for key applications such as heat-assisted magnetic recording.

Mazhar B. Tayel, Mohamed Ismail Badawi, Heba Tallah A. HasanPharos University (Egypt)Microwave imaging (MWI) is an attractive alternative technique for mamograph breast imaging. The proce-dures are comfortable, and the clinical system cost is a small fraction of the Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), making it affordable for widespread screening. The procedures offer no hazards and the potential issignificant for detecting very small tumors in early stages of cancer progress.The proposed system showedthat tumors, as small as 2 mm in breast model, can be clearly detected.

The sensor element is based on microstrip/coplanar excited SRR.The initial prototypes were bulky and could only detect the dielectric properties of organic tissue. Extensivework was done to reduce the size and packaging to include them in a minimal invasive tool and create asecond operation mode where the tissue could also be ablated with the same device.

(United Kingdom)While metamaterials are usually designed assuming plane wave excitation, in practice they are often pla-ced closed to a finite source or an antenna. This paper presents simulation results of a large but finitemetamaterial-based antireflection coating for biological tissues excited by a patch antenna working at 60GHz. Additionally, the minimum number of metamaterial cells necessary to obtain similar performance as aunit cell (infinitely periodic) simulation is determined.

We show that the photophysics of the quantum dot is modified by the large enhancementof the radiative decay rate. By taking the modified photophysics into account, we extract the radiative andnonradiative decay rates from the experimental data. We demonstrate that a large radiative decay rate en-hancement of the order of one hundred and a high quantum efficiency are achieved simultaneously.

16:30 : Coherent perfect absorption induced by the nonlinearity of coupled Helmholtz resonatorsVassos Achilleos, Olivier Richoux, Georgios TheocharisUniversite du Maine (France)In this work we show that the nonlinear response of Helmholtz resonators, can be used to control coherentperfect absorption of sound waves in an acoustical waveguide. Three different configurations are studied, andin all cases we find analytical expressions for the conditions leading to perfect absorption for high amplitudeincident waves. Experimental results are found in a good agreement with our predictions. The nonlinearcontrol of perfect absorption opens new possibilities in the design of high amplitude sound attenuators.

We show that, when tuning the inner radius of the hollow pillar, WGMs can mergeinside both Bragg and low frequency band gaps, deserving phononic crystal and acoustic metamaterial ap-plications. By increasing quality factors, the confined WGMs are applied to wavelength division in multiplexerdevices using heteroradii pillars introduced into waveguide and cavity structures.

17:00 : Multi-particle trapping and patterning using phononic crystal platesTian Wang, Manzhu Ke, Zhengyou LiuWuhan University (China)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 quasi-periodic arrays, depending on the structures of the phononic crystal plates with varying sub-wavelength holesarray. The analysis shows that the resonant transmission field highly localized near the sub-wavelength aper-tures, yields a negative acoustic radiation force on the nearby particle. We expect this system may pave anew route for particle self-assembly.

17:15 : Experimental demonstration of anomalous Floquet topological insulators for soundYu-Gui Peng, Xue-Feng ZhuHuazhong University of Science and Technology (China)Here, we report the first experimental demonstration of anomalous Floquet topological insulator (AFI) forsound: a strongly coupled metamaterial ring lattice that supports one-way propagation of pseudo-spin-dependentedge states under T-symmetry, scattering immune to boundary defects, such as abrupt variations. The veryunique thing is the formation of pseudo-spin-dependent interface states due to lattice dislocations. The me-chanism underlying the formation of topologically protected boundary states in AFI is applicable in variousother wave systems or higher dimensions.

08:00 : Invited talkThe applications of propagating surface plasmon waves in the SERSLierong Yuan, Lei Zhang, Qianjin Wang, Yongyuan Zhu, Yanqing Lu, Xuejin ZhangNanjing University (China)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 effectivestructure to increase the enhancement factor (EF) of the SERS. Enormous electric field enhancement canbe realized by the optimization of material, structure and technology, which is investigated by both finite-difference time-domain simulation and SERS EF measurements.

08:20 : Invited talkCMOS THz On-chip Surface-wave Resonator and OscillatorYuan Liang, Hao Yu, Xiaojian FuNanyang Technological University (Singapore)A compact high-Q surface-wave resonator is demonstrated at sub-THz in 65nm CMOS. This magnetic meta-material achieves a significant reduction of radiation loss at sub-THz by further stacking additional resonatorunit-cell which has opposite placement with respect to the existing resonator. A 140GHz oscillator is thendesigned by incorporating the surface-wave resonator as low loss loading, demonstrating confinement of EMenergy with high-Q factor which easily start-up the 140GHz oscillator in low power.

08:40 : Invited talkPhysical Scaling Laws of NanophotonicsKe Liu, Arka Majumdar, Volker J. SorgerGeorge Washington University (USA)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 photonicdevices, namely laser sources, electro-optic-modulators, photodetectors, and all-optical switches. We observenon-monotonic performance behavior upon down-scaling, which is a result of balancing the optical lossesand providing cavity feedback highlighting the physical tradeoff between optical loss management and fieldconfinement.

The metasurface consists of triangular shaped nanoantennas that can directionally exciteSPPs under normal incidence. By properly arranging the nanoantennas according to the required phase andamplitude distribution of a SPP wavefront, any SPP beam with even complex profile can be generated. Themetasurface can also be designed to realize broadband, polarization-controlled tunable directional excitationof SPPs.

In addition, a tunable dual-bandreflectarray antenna is proposed by integration of a thin layer of indium tin oxide into a plasmonic doublemetal/insulator/metal ribbons unit-cell.

In contrast to conventional, hand-designed nanostructures relying onintuitive design principles, our structures are obtained via brute-force adjoint optimization techniques, leadingto magnitude enhancements in nonlinear interactions and exotic spectral features, e.g. doubly and even triplydegenerate Dirac cones that result in exotic zero-index metamaterials and exceptional points.

To reach their ultimate potential, metasurfaces mustincorporate reconfigurable functions. The central challenge is achieving large tunability in subwavelength ele-ments. Here, we describe three different approaches for achieving order-unity index: free-carrier refraction,thermo-optic tuning, and metal-insulator transitions. We demonstrate wide tuning of single-particle infraredMie resonances, and describe ongoing efforts to achieve tuning via electrical or optical gating.

With band inversion between photonic bands characteri-zed by opposite parities with respect to spatial inversion, nontrivial topology emerges similarly to the quantumspin Hall effect in electronic systems.

1ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain), 2ICREA (Spain)Controlling the optical energy flow inside random media is a research frontier of photonics. In spite of theirsuccess, random lasers still lack external tunability, reproducibility, and control over the beam spatial pattern,thus hindering their application in practical devices.
