2D Optics on Bloch Surface Waves (BSWs) Based Platform: Polymer Lens and Prism
Résumé
In this work, we use a novel platform concept based on Bloch Surface Waves (BSWs) and manipulate the BSWs propagation with two-dimensional (2D) dielectric patterns deposited on it. The concept opens a way to realize 2D integrated all-optics systems including sensing functionalities.

Matter wave
Matter waves are a central part of the theory of quantum mechanics, being half of wave–particle duality. All matter exhibits wave-like behavior. For example, a beam of electrons can be diffracted just like a beam of light or a water wave. The concept that matter behaves like a wave was proposed by French physicist Louis de Broglie (dəˈbrɔɪ) in 1924, and so matter waves are also known as de Broglie waves.
Bloch's theorem
In condensed matter physics, Bloch's theorem states that solutions to the Schrödinger equation in a periodic potential can be expressed as plane waves modulated by periodic functions. The theorem is named after the physicist Felix Bloch, who discovered the theorem in 1929. Mathematically, they are written where is position, is the wave function, is a periodic function with the same periodicity as the crystal, the wave vector is the crystal momentum vector, is Euler's number, and is the imaginary unit.

Bloch surface waves at the telecommunication wavelength with lithium niobate as the top layer for integrated optics
Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Maria-Pilar Bernal
Lithium niobate (LN)-based devices are widely used in integrated and nonlinear optics. This material is robust and resistive to high temperatures, which makes the LN-based devices stable, but challenging to fabricate. In this work, we report on the design, ...
