We report a self-consistent quasinormal mode theory for nanometer scale electromagnetism where the possible nonlocal and quantum effects are treated through quantum surface responses. With Feibelmans frequency-dependent textit{d} parameters to describe the quantum surface responses, we formulate the source-free Maxwells equations into a generalized linear eigenvalue problem to define the quasinormal modes. We then construct an orthonormal relation for the modes and consequently unlock the powerful toolbox of modal analysis. The orthonormal relation is validated by the reconstruction of the full numerical results through modal contributions. Significant changes in the landscape of the modes are observed due to the incorporation of the quantum surface responses for a number of nanostructures. Our semi-analytical modal analysis enables transparent physical interpretation of the spontaneous emission enhancement of a dipolar emitter as well as the near-field and far-field responses of planewave excitations in the nanostructures.

Coupled mode theory (CMT) is a powerful framework for decomposing interactions between electromagnetic waves and scattering bodies into resonances and their couplings with power-carrying channels. It has widespread use in few-resonance, weakly couple d resonator systems across nanophotonics, but cannot be applied to the complex scatterers of emerging importance. We use quasinormal modes to develop an exact, ab initio generalized coupled mode theory from Maxwells equations. This quasinormal coupled mode theory, which we denote QCMT, enables a direct, mode-based construction of scattering matrices without resorting to external solvers or data. We consider canonical scattering bodies, for which we show that a CMT model will necessarily be highly inaccurate, whereas QCMT exhibits near-perfect accuracy.
Despite the several novel features arising from the dissipative optomechanical coupling, such effect remains vastly unexplored due to the lack of a simple formalism that captures non-Hermiticity in optomechanical systems. In this Letter, we show that quasinormal-mode-based perturbation theory is capable of correctly predicting both dispersive and dissipative optomechanical couplings. We validate our model through simulations and also by comparison with experimental results reported in the literature. Finally, we apply this formalism to plasmonic systems, used for molecular optomechanics, where strong dissipative coupling signatures in the amplification of vibrational modes are observed.

Local, bulk response functions, e.g permittivity, and the macroscopic Maxwell equations completely specify the classical electromagnetic problem, which features only wavelength $lambda$ and geometric scales. The above neglect of intrinsic electronic length scales $L_{text{e}}$ leads to an eventual breakdown in the nanoscopic limit. Here, we present a general theoretical and experimental framework for treating nanoscale electromagnetic phenomena. The framework features surface-response functions---known as the Feibelman $d$-parameters---which reintroduce the missing electronic length scales. As a part of our framework, we establish an experimental procedure to measure these complex, dispersive surface response functions, enabled by quasi-normal-mode perturbation theory and observations of pronounced nonclassical effects---spectral shifts in excess of 30% and the breakdown of Kreibig-like broadening---in a quintessential multiscale architecture: film-coupled nanoresonators, with feature-sizes comparable to both $L_{text{e}}$ and $lambda$.

Optical resonators are widely used in modern photonics. Their spectral response and temporal dynamics are fundamentally driven by their natural resonances, the so-called quasinormal modes (QNMs), with complex frequencies. For optical resonators made of dispersive materials, the QNM computation requires solving a nonlinear eigenvalue problem. This rises a difficulty that is only scarcely documented in the literature. We review our recent efforts for implementing efficient and accurate QNM-solvers for computing and normalizing the QNMs of micro- and nano-resonators made of highly-dispersive materials. We benchmark several methods for three geometries, a two-dimensional plasmonic crystal, a two-dimensional metal grating, and a three-dimensional nanopatch antenna on a metal substrate, in the perspective to elaborate standards for the computation of resonance modes.

Nonlinear optical (NLO) responses of topological materials are under active research in recent years. Yet by far most studies focused on the bulk properties, whereas the surface effects and the difference between surface and bulk responses have not b een systematically studied. In this work, we develop a generic Greens function framework to investigate the surface NLO properties of topological materials. The Greens function framework can naturally incorporate many body effects and can be easily extended to high order NLO responses. Using $rm T_d WTe_2$ as an example, we reveal that the surface can behave disparately from the bulk under light illumination. Remarkably, the shift and circular current on the surface can flow in opposite directions to that in the bulk. Moreover, the light induced spin current on the surface can be orders of magnitude stronger than that in the bulk. We also study the responses under inhomogeneous field and higher order NLO effect, which are all distinct on the surface. These anomalous surface NLO responses suggest that light can be a valuable tool for probing the surface states of topological materials, while on the other hand, the surface effects shall be prudently considered when investigating the optical properties of topological materials.
