We demonstrate the presence of Dirac cones in the dispersion relation of acoustic waves propagating on the surface of a plate of methyl methacrylate containing a honeycomb lattice of cylindrical boreholes. This structure ...
[EN] We present a theoretical and experimental study of the effective permittivity of a photonic crystal (PC) made of parallel dielectric rods in the long-wavelength limit. Using the plane-wave expansion method we derive ...

[EN] We study the reflection properties of squeezing devices based on transformation optics. An analytical expression for the angle-dependent reflection coefficient of a generic three-dimensional squeezer is derived. In ...

[EN] Indirect bandgap semiconductors such as silicon are not efficient light emitters because a phonon with a high momentum is required to transfer an electron from the conduction to the valence band. In a recent study ...
