[EN] Recent years have witnessed the boom of cavity optomechanics, which exploits the confinement and coupling of optical and mechanical waves at the nanoscale. Among their physical implementations, optomechanical (OM) ...

[EN] We have analyzed the ablation depth yield of fused silica irradiated with shaped pulse trains with a separation of 500 fs and increasing or decreasing intensity envelopes. This temporal separation value is extracted ...

[EN] A study of the surface modification induced by single femtosecond laser pulses in phosphate glass has revealed surface swelling at fluences just below the ablation threshold. This behavior is different from that ...

[EN] We report experimental evidence of light guiding at telecommunication wavelengths along line-defect honeycomb-lattice photonic crystal waveguides created in suspended silicon slabs. Numerical results show that the ...

[EN] We have investigated plasma formation and relaxation dynamics induced by single femtosecond laser pulses at the surface of crystalline SiO 2 (quartz) along with the corresponding topography modifications. The use of ...

The efficient manipulation of circularly polarized light with the proper handedness is key in many photonic applications. Chiral structures are capable of distinguishing photon handedness, but while photons with the right ...

Intuitively, light impinging on a spatially mirror-symmetric object will be scattered equally into mirror-symmetric directions. This intuition can fail at the nanoscale if the polarization of the incoming light is properly ...
Optical nanoantennas efficiently convert confined optical energy into free-space radiation. The polarization of the emitted radiation depends mainly on nanoantenna shape, so it becomes extremely difficult to manipulate it ...
