[EN] We theoretically explore the possibility of reducing propagation loss in a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide, using mode combinations to achieve wall-avoiding field distributions along a certain propagation length. ...
[EN] The ability to manufacture metamaterials with exotic electromagnetic properties has potential for surprising new applications. Here we report how a specific type of metamaterial-one whose permittivity is near zero-exerts ...
Optical forces allow manipulation of small particles and control of nanophotonic structures
with light beams. While some techniques rely on structured light to move particles using field intensity gradients, acting locally, ...
