Excitation of antiferromagnetic spin waves in HoFeO$_{3}$ crystal combined with a split ring resonator (SRR) is studied using terahertz (THz) electromagnetic pulses. The magnetic field in the vicinity of the SRR induced by the incident THz electric field component excites and the Faraday rotation of the polarization of a near-infrared probe pulse directly measures oscillations that correspond to the antiferromagnetic spin resonance mode. The good agreement of the temperature-dependent magnetization dynamics with the calculation using the two-lattice Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation confirms that the spin wave is resonantly excited by the THz magnetic near-field enhanced at the LC resonance frequency of the SRR, which is 20 times stronger than the incident magnetic field.

To enhance transmission efficiency of Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase metasurfaces, multilayer split-ring resonators were proposed to develop encoding sequences. As per the generalized Snell law, the deflection angle of the PB phase encoding metasurfaces depends on the metasurface period size. Therefore, it is impossible to design an infinitesimal metasurface unit.Consequently, the continuous transmission scattering angle cannot be obtained. In digital signal processing, this study introduces the Fourier convolution principle on encoding metasurface sequences to freely control the transmitted scattering angles. Both addition and subtraction operations between two different encoding sequences were then performed to achieve the continuous variation of the scattering angle. Furthermore, we established that the Fourier convolution principle can be applied to the checkerboard coded metasurfaces.
Using polarization-resolved transient reflection spectroscopy, we investigate the ultrafast modulation of light interacting with a metasurface consisting of coherently vibrating nanophotonic meta-atoms in the form of U-shaped split-ring resonators, that exhibit co-localized optical and mechanical resonances. With a two-dimensional square-lattice array of these resonators formed of gold on a glass substrate, we monitor the visible-pump-pulse induced gigahertz oscillations in intensity of reflected linearly-polarized infrared probe light pulses, modulated by the resonators effectively acting as miniature tuning forks. A multimodal vibrational response involving the opening and closing motion of the split rings is detected in this way. Numerical simulations of the associated transient deformations and strain fields elucidate the complex nanomechanical dynamics contributing to the ultrafast optical modulation, and point to the role of acousto-plasmonic interactions through the opening and closing motion of the SRR gaps as the dominant effect. Applications include ultrafast acoustooptic modulator design and sensing.
Terahertz (THz) waves have been significantly developed in the last fifteen years because of their great potential for applications in industrial and scientific communities1,2. The unique properties of THz waves as transparency for numerous materials and strong absorption for water-based materials are expected to broadly impact biosensing3 such as medical imaging4, chemical identifications5, and DNA recognition6. In particular, for accessing information within a scale comparable to the cell size where interactions between cell membrane and other organelle structures occur, micron size spatial resolution is required. Due to the large wavelength, however, the joint capability of THz near-field imaging with real-time acquisition, which is a highly desirable ability for observing real-time changes of in vivo sample, remains undone. Here, we report a real-time THz near-field microscope with a high dynamic range that can capture images of a 370 x 740 {mu}m2 area at 35 frames per second. We achieve high spatial resolution on a large area by combining two novel techniques: THz pulse generation by tilted-pulse-front excitation7 and electro-optic (EO) balanced imaging detection using a thin crystal. To demonstrate the microscope capability, we reveal the field enhancement at the gap position of a dipole antenna after the irradiation of a THz pulse. Our results are the first demonstration of a direct quantification of a 2-dimensional subwavelength THz electric field taken in real-time.
The boundary element method is applied to investigate the optical forces when whispering gallery modes (WGMs) are excited by a total internally reflected wave. Such evanescent wave is particularly effective in exciting the high-$Q$ WGM, while the low angular or high radial order modes are suppressed relatively. This results in a large contrast between the forces on and off resonance, and thus allows for high size-selectivity. We fully incorporate the prism-particle interaction and found that the optical force behaves differently at different separations. Optimal separation is found which corresponds to a compromise between intensity and $Q$ factor.
The paper presents a theoretical study of the eigenmodes of a misaligned ring multi-mirror laser cavity one or several arms of which are filled with an inhomogeneous medium. We start with posing the general problem of calculation of the radiation characteristics for a ring resonator with arbitrary inhomogeneities of the medium and mirrors, in the paraxial approximation. Then the general relations are specified for the lens-like resonator model in which the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index, as well as the phase and amplitude corrections performed by the mirrors, quadratically depend on the transverse coordinates. Explicit expressions are obtained for the eigen frequency and spatial characteristics of the radiation via the coefficients of the Hermite-Gaussian functions describing the complex amplitude distributions at the mirrors. The main results are formulated in terms of linear relations between positions of the resonator mode axis at the mirrors and the misalignment parameters (small shifts and tilts of the mirrors). The explicit results display the coefficients of the above linear relations. They are calculated for the 3-mirror cavity with using a specially developed approach employing peculiar conditions to the coefficients form that follow from very general considerations of two groups: 1) Independence of the resulting frequency shifts on the sequence in which the misalignments are made (this is the base of the energy method for the resonator analysis, which is essentially generalized and improved); 2) Geometrical symmetry of the resonator. The results of calculations can be used in order to control the radiation characteristics in relation to the resonator misalignments, in particular, for analysis of the output radiation stability and sensitivity to small changes of the cavity configuration.
