The utilization of subwavelength resonators, such as small electric dipoles, plasmonic resonators, or objects made of materials with a high dielectric constant, has enabled the manipulation of electromagnetic fields down to the subwavelength regime with sy ...
The high electric field intensity achieved on the surface of sensors based on metasurfaces (metasensors) makes them an excellent alternative for sensing applications where the volume of the sample to be identified is tiny (for instance, thin-film sensing d ...
The rapidly maturing integrated Kerr microcombs show significant potential for microwave photonics. Yet, state-of-the-art microcomb-based radiofrequency filters have required programmable pulse shapers, which inevitably increase the system cost, footprint, ...
Complex yet compact nanoscale mechanisms have largely been absent due to the rather limited availability of components and integration techniques. Especially missing have been efficient interconnects with adjustable characteristics. To address this issue, ...
Locally-resonant sonic metamaterials refer to synthetic acoustic matter composed of artificial acoustic “atoms”, generally passive, and of subwavelength sizes, that are capable of resonantly interacting with an external acoustic wave, and manipulate it in ...
We theoretically, numerically and experimentally demonstrate the acoustic isolator effect in a one-dimensional waveguide with direction-dependent controlled boundary conditions. A theoretical model is used to explain the principle of nonreciprocal propagat ...
Rapid advances in image sensor technology have generated a mismatch between the small size of image sensor pixels and the achievable filter spectral resolution. This mismatch has prevented the realization of chip-based image sensors with simultaneously hig ...

Recent advances in the field of metamaterials have shown that waves can be efficiently manipulated at the subwavelength scale through the interactions with an ensemble of resonant inclusions, opening new horizons in overcoming the size limits of devices wh ...

Locally-resonant metamaterial crystals are artificial materials built from small spatially-local resonant inclusions arranged periodically at subwavelength scale. Unlike conventional continuous metamaterials, for which spatial dispersion originates mostly ...
High index optical waveguide devices such as slab waveguides, strip waveguides and fibers play extremely important roles in a wide range of modern applications including telecommunications, sensing, lasing, interferometry, and resonant amplification. Yet, ...
