Unconventional time-bandwidth performance of resonant cavities with nonreciprocal coupling

Camille Sophie Brès, Davide Grassani, Ivan Cardea, Kosmas Tsakmakidis

The time-bandwidth limit is a mathematical tenet that affects all reciprocal resonators, stating that the product of the spectral bandwidth that can couple into a resonant system and its characteristic energy decay time is always equal to 1. Here, we devel ...

Arbitrarily high time bandwidth performance in a nonreciprocal optical resonator with broken time invariance

Camille Sophie Brès, Hatice Altug, Davide Grassani, Ivan Cardea, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Simon Julien Fabbri

Most present-day resonant systems, throughout physics and engineering, are characterized by a strict time-reversal symmetry between the rates of energy coupled in and out of the system, which leads to a trade-off between how long a wave can be stored in th ...

Accessible Superchiral Near-Fields Driven by Tailored Electric and Magnetic Resonances in All-Dielectric Nanostructures

Hatice Altug, Andreas Tittl, Yasaman Jahani, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ershad Mohammadi

Detection and differentiation of enantiomers in small quantities are crucially important in many scientific fields, including biology, chemistry, and pharmacy. Chiral molecules manifest their handedness in their interaction with the chiral state of light ( ...

Gain enhancement of circular waveguide antennas using near-zero index metamaterials

Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ershad Mohammadi, Foziyeh Sohrabi

In this article, a rigorous analytical methodology is introduced for designing near-zero refractive index metamaterials (NZIMs). Our proposed NZIM media is realized by three stacked layers of perforated metallic surfaces, each layer composed of a fishnet-l ...

Ultrabroadband 3D invisibility with fast-light cloaks

Hatice Altug, Dordaneh Etezadi, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ershad Mohammadi, Foziyeh Sohrabi

An invisibility cloak should completely hide an object from an observer, ideally across the visible spectrum and for all angles of incidence and polarizations of light, in three dimensions. However, until now, all such devices have been limited to either s ...

Nanophotonic Platforms for Enhanced Chiral Sensing

Hatice Altug, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Ershad Mohammadi

Chirality plays an essential role in life, providing unique functionalities to a wide range of biomolecules, chemicals, and drugs, which makes chiral sensing and analysis critically important. The wider application of chiral sensing continues to be constra ...

Overcoming the time-bandwidth limit

Camille Sophie Brès, Kosmas Tsakmakidis, Simon Julien Fabbri

We are so accustomed to the time-bandwidth limit that we often take it to be a fundamental relation that cannot be overcome. Contrary to this belief we here propose that the storage/delay time of a system can in fact be decoupled from the operating bandwid ...
