Surface waves can propagate on the planar interface of a linear electro-optic (EO) material and an isotropic dielectric material, for restricted ranges of the orientation angles of the EO material and the refractive index of the isotropic material. These ranges can be controlled by the application of a dc electric field, and depend on both the magnitude and the direction of the dc field. Thus, surface-wave propagation can be electrically controlled by exploiting the Pockels effect.

In order to ascertain conditions for surface-wave propagation guided by the planar interface of an isotropic dielectric material and a sculptured nematic thin film (SNTF) with periodic nonhomogeneity, we formulated a boundary-value problem, obtained
a dispersion equation therefrom, and numerically solved it. The surface waves obtained are Dyakonov-Tamm waves. The angular domain formed by the directions of propagation of the Dyakonov--Tamm waves can be very wide (even as wide as to allow propagation in every direction in the interface plane), because of the periodic nonhomogeneity of the SNTF. A search for Dyakonov-Tamm waves is, at the present time, the most promising route to take for experimental verification of surface-wave propagation guided by the interface of two dielectric materials, at least one of which is anisotropic. That would also assist in realizing the potential of such surface waves for optical sensing of various types of analytes infiltrating one or both of the two dielectric materials.
The propagation of electromagnetic surface waves guided by the planar interface of two isotropic chiral materials, namely materials $calA$ and $calB$, was investigated by numerically solving the associated canonical boundary-value problem. Isotropic
chiral material $calB$ was modeled as a homogenized composite material, arising from the homogenization of an isotropic chiral component material and an isotropic achiral, nonmagnetic, component material characterized by the relative permittivity $eps_a^calB$. Changes in the nature of the surface waves were explored as the volume fraction $f_a^calB$ of the achiral component material varied. Surface waves are supported only for certain ranges of $f_a^calB$; within these ranges only one surface wave, characterized by its relative wavenumber $q$, is supported at each value of $f_a^calB$. For $mbox{Re} lec eps_a^calB ric > 0 $, as $left| mbox{Im} lec eps_a^calB ric right|$ increases surface waves are supported for larger ranges of $f_a^calB$ and $left| mbox{Im} lec q ric right|$ for these surface waves increases. For $mbox{Re} lec eps_a^calB ric < 0 $, as $ mbox{Im} lec eps_a^calB ric $ increases the ranges of $f_a^calB$ that support surface-wave propagation are almost unchanged but $ mbox{Im} lec q ric $ for these surface waves decreases. The surface waves supported when $mbox{Re} lec eps_a^calB ric < 0 $ may be regarded as akin to surface-plasmon-polariton waves, but those supported for when $mbox{Re} lec eps_a^calB ric > 0 $ may not.
Two schemes are proposed to compute the nonlinear electro-optic (EO) tensor for the first time. In the first scheme, we compute the linear EO tensor of the structure under a finite electric field, while we compute the refractive index of the structur
e under a finite electric field in the second scheme. Such schemes are applied to Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_{3}$ and BaTiO$_{3}$ ferroelectric oxides. It is found to reproduce a recently observed feature, namely why Pb(Zr$_{0.52}$Ti$_{0.48}$)O$_{3}$ adopts a mostly linear EO response while BaTiO$_{3}$ exhibits a strongly nonlinear conversion between electric and optical properties. Furthermore, the atomistic insight provided by the proposed ab-initio scheme reveals the origin of such qualitatively different responses, in terms of the field-induced behavior of the frequencies of some phonon modes and of some force constants.
We demonstrate a high-contrast electro-optic modulation of a photonic crystal nanocavity integrated with an electrically gated monolayer graphene. A high quality (Q) factor air-slot nanocavity design is employed for high overlap between the optical f
ield and graphene sheet. Tuning of graphenes Fermi level up to 0.8 eV enables efficient control of its complex dielectric constant, which allows modulation of the cavity reflection in excess of 10 dB for a swing voltage of only 1.5 V. We also observe a controllable resonance wavelength shift close to 2 nm around a wavelength of 1570 nm and a Q factor modulation in excess of three. These observations allow cavity-enhanced measurements of the graphene complex dielectric constant under different chemical potentials, in agreement with a theoretical model of the graphene dielectric constant under gating. This graphene-based nanocavity modulation demonstrates the feasibility of high-contrast, low-power frequency-selective electro-optic nanocavity modulators in graphene-integrated silicon photonic chips.
We phase-coherently measure the frequency of continuous-wave (CW) laser light by use of optical-phase modulation and f-2f nonlinear interferometry. Periodic electro-optic modulation (EOM) transforms the CW laser into a continuous train of picosecond
optical pulses. Subsequent nonlinear-fiber broadening of this EOM frequency comb produces a supercontinuum with 160 THz of bandwidth. A critical intermediate step is optical filtering of the EOM comb to reduce electronic-noise-induced decoherence of the supercontinuum. Applying f-2f self-referencing with the supercontinuum yields the carrier-envelope offset frequency of the EOM comb, which is precisely the difference of the CW laser frequency and an exact integer multiple of the EOM pulse repetition rate. Here we demonstrate absolute optical frequency metrology and synthesis applications of the self-referenced CW laser with <5E-14 fractional accuracy and stability.
