Testing the accuracy and convergence of scattering calculations using Lorentz reciprocity

We present a simple and versatile approach to test the accuracy of scattering calculations. Based on the Lorentz reciprocity relation, this criterion can be used for any scattering object, especially where a reference solution (e.g. from Mie theory) does n ...

Pulling force enabled by unlocking the optical phase

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Siarhei Zavatski

We demonstrate the possibility of achieving an optical pulling force without complex beam-shaping techniques. By using optical pulses detuned from the resonant frequency of the structure, we create conditions in which the spectral maxima of the excited cur ...

Hybrid metasurfaces for light processing

Olivier Martin, Andrei Kiselev, Sergejs Boroviks

We explore the optical effects that result from the combination of two classes of materials: plasmonic metals with a dominant electric response - combined with high index dielectrics - with a magnetic response. Their interaction leads to complex spectral r ...

Bianisotropic metasurface enables a nonlinear pseudo-diode: asymmetric second-harmonic generation

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Sergejs Boroviks

Bianisotropic metasurfaces empower planarized optical components with subwavelength thicknesses that are not amenable to conventional optics. In particular, bianisotropy gives control over the spatial dispersion and allows engineering of both spectral and ...

The Three-Phase Contact Potential Difference Modulates the Water Surface Charge

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andrei Kiselev, Vasily Artemov, Roman Doronin

The surface charge of an open water surface is crucialfor solvationphenomena and interfacial processes in aqueous systems. However, themagnitude of the charge is controversial, and the physical mechanismof charging remains incompletely understood. Here we ...

Confinement-Controlled Water Engenders Unusually High Electrochemical Capacitance

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andrei Kiselev, Vasily Artemov

The electrodynamicsof nanoconfined water have been shownto changedramatically compared to bulk water, opening room for safe electrochemicalsystems. We demonstrate a nanofluidic "water-only" batterythat exploits anomalously high electrolytic properties of p ...

Demonstration of a Plasmonic Nonlinear Pseudodiode

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Sergejs Boroviks

We demonstrate a nonlinear plasmonic metasurface that exhibits strongly asymmetric second-harmonic generation: nonlinear scattering is efficient upon excitation in one direction, and it is substantially suppressed when the excitation direction is reversed, ...

Frequency and time domains interactions in nanophotonics

Andrei Kiselev

In this thesis, we discuss the problems of scattering and optical manipulation related to nanosystems of different complexities. The multipolar decomposition method is used to represent scattering processes in nanosystems as a series of elementary excitati ...

Multipolar Pseudochirality-Induced Optical Torque

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev, Mintae Chung

It has been observed that achiral nanoparticles, such as flat helices, may be subjected to an optical torque even when illuminated by normally incident linearly polarized light. However, the origin of this fascinating phenomenon has so far remained mostly ...
