1-Dimensional (1D) photonics crystals with and without defects have been numerically studied using efficient Transfer Matrix Method (TMM). Detailed numerical recipe of the TMM has been laid out. Dispersion relation is verified for the periodic Photonics Band Gap (PBG) structure. When there are defects, the transmission spectrum can be decomposed into one or more quasi modes with excellent agreement. The Density of States (DOS) is obtained from the phase derivative of the transmission spectrum. Greens function is also obtained showing much sharper mode characteristics when the excitation source is localized at the peaks of the quasi modes.

Metasurface with gradient phase response offers new alternative for steering the propagation of waves. Conventional Snells law has been revised by taking the contribution of local phase gradient into account. However, the requirement of momentum matching along the metasurface sets its nontrivial beam manipulation functionality within a limited-angle incidence. In this work, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that the acoustic gradient metasurface supports the negative reflection for all-angle incidence. The mode expansion theory is developed to help understand how the gradient metasurface tailors the incident beams, and the all-angle negative reflection occurs when the first negative order Floquet-Bloch mode dominates inside the metasurface slab. The coiling-up space structures are utilized to build desired acoustic gradient metasurface, and the all-angle negative reflections have been perfectly verified by experimental measurements. Our work offers the Floquet-Bloch modes perspective for qualitatively understanding the reflection behaviors of the acoustic gradient metasurface, and the all-angle negative reflection characteristic possessed by acoustic gradient metasurface could enable a new degree of the acoustic wave manipulating and be applied in the functional diffractive acoustic elements, such as the all-angle acoustic back reflector.
We present a study of elastic metamaterial that possesses multiple local resonances. We demonstrated that the elastic metamaterial can have simultaneously three negative effective parameters, i.e., negative effective mass, effective bulk modulus and effective shear modulus at a certain frequency range. Through the analysis of the resonant field, it has been elucidated that the three negative parameters are induced by dipolar, monopolar and quadrupolar resonance respectively. The dipolar and monopolar resonances result into the negative band for longitudinal waves, while the dipolar and quadrupolar resonances cause the negative band for transverse waves. The two bands have an overlapping frequency regime. A simultaneously negative refraction for both longitudinal waves and transverse waves has been demonstrated in the system.
A unification of characteristic mode decomposition for all method-of-moment formulations of field integral equations describing free-space scattering is derived. The work is based on an algebraic link between impedance and transition matrices, the latter of which was used in early definitions of characteristic modes and is uniquely defined for all scattering scenarios. This also makes it possible to extend the known application domain of characteristic mode decomposition to any other frequency-domain solver capable of generating transition matrices, such as finite difference or finite element methods. The formulation of characteristic modes using a transition matrix allows for the decomposition of induced currents and scattered fields from arbitrarily shaped objects, providing high numerical dynamics and increased stability, removing the issue of spurious modes, offering good control of convergence, and significantly simplifying modal tracking. Algebraic properties of the transition matrix are utilized to show that characteristic mode decomposition of lossy objects fails to deliver orthogonal far fields. All aforementioned properties and steps are demonstrated on several numerical examples for both surface- and volume-based method-of-moment formulations.
Topological phase, a novel and fundamental role in matter, displays an extraordinary robustness to smooth changes in material parameters or disorder. A crossover between topological physics and quantum information may lead to inherent fault-tolerant quantum simulations and quantum computing. Quantum features may be preserved by being encoded among topological structures of physical evolution systems. This requires us to stimulate, manipulate and observe topological phenomena at single quantum particle level, which, however, hasnt been realized yet. Here, we address such a question whether the quantum features of single photons can be preserved in topological structures. We experimentally observe the boundary states of single photons and demonstrate the performance of topological phase on protecting the quantum features in quasi-periodic systems. Our work confirms the compatibility between macroscopic topological states and microscopic single photons on a photonic chip. We believe the emerging quantum topological photonics will add entirely new and versatile capacities into quantum technologies.
We provide an analysis of the electromagnetic modes of three-dimensional metamaterial resonators in the THz frequency range. The fundamental resonance of the structures is fully described by an analytical circuit model, which not only reproduces the resonant frequencies but also the coupling of the metamaterial with an incident THz radiation. We also evidence the contribution of the propagation effects, and show how they can be reduced by design. In the optimized design the electric field energy is lumped into ultra-subwavelength ($lambda$/100) capacitors, where we insert semiconductor absorber based on the collective electronic excitation in a two dimensional electron gas. The optimized electric field confinement is evidenced by the observation of the ultra-strong light-matter coupling regime, and opens many possible applications for these structures for detectors, modulators and sources of THz radiation.
