Light confinement and amplification in micro- & nano-fiber have been intensively studied and a number of applications have been developed. However, the typical micro- & anno- fibers are usually free-standing or positioned on a substrate with lower refractive index to ensure the light confinement and guiding mode. Here we numerically and experimentally demonstrate the possibility of confining light within a microfiber on a high refractive index substrate. In contrast to the strong leaky to the substrate, we found that the radiation loss was dependent on the radius of microfiber and the refractive index contrast. Consequently, quasi-guiding modes could be formed and the light could propagate and be amplified in such systems. By fabricating tapered silica fiber and dye-doped polymer fiber and placing them on sapphire substrates, the light propagation, amplification, and laser behaviors have been experimentally studied to verify the quasi-guiding modes in microfer with higher index substrate. We believe that our research will be essential for the applications of micro- and nano-fibers.

Which systems are ideal to obtain negative refraction with no absorption? Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a method to suppress absorption and make a material transparent to a field of a given frequency. Such a system has been discus
sed in [1]; however the main limitations for negative refraction introduced are the necessity of resonant electric and magnetic dipole transitions, and the necessity of very dense media. We suggest using frequency translators in a composite system that would provide negative refraction for a range of optical frequencies while attempting to overcome the limitations discussed above. In the process of using frequency translators, we also find composite systems that can be used for refractive index enhancement.
We have theoretically demonstrated Rabi-like splitting and self-referenced refractive index sensing in hybrid plasmonic-1D photonic crystal structures. The coupling between Tamm plasmon and cavity photon modes are tuned by incorporating a low refract
ive index spacer layer close to the metallic layer to form their hybrid modes. Anticrossing observed in the dispersion validates the strong coupling between the modes and causes Rabi-like splitting, which is supported by coupled mode theory. The Rabi-like splitting energy decreases with increasing number of periods (N) and refractive index contrast ({eta}) of the two dielectric materials used to make the 1D photonic crystals, and the observed variation is explained by an analytical model. The angular and polarization dependency of the hybrid modes shows that the polarization splitting of the lower hybrid mode is much stronger than that of the upper hybrid mode. Further investigating the hybrid modes, it is seen that one of the hybrid modes remains unchanged while other mode undergoes significant change with varying the cavity medium, which makes it useful for designing self-referenced refractive index sensors for sensing different analytes. For {eta}=1.333 and N=10 in a hybrid structure, the sensitivity increases from 51 nm/RIU to 201 nm/RIU with increasing cavity thickness from 170 nm to 892 nm. For a fixed cavity thickness of 892 nm, the sensitivity increases from 201 nm/RIU to 259 nm/RIU by increasing {eta} from 1.333 to 1.605. The sensing parameters such as detection accuracy, quality factor, and figure of merit for two different hybrid structures ([{eta}=1.333, N=10] and [{eta}=1.605, N=6]) are evaluated and compared. The value of resonant reflectivity of one of the hybrid modes changes considerably with varying analyte medium which can also be used for refractive index sensing.
Motivated by the ongoing controversy on the origin of the nonlinear index saturation and subsequent intensity clamping in femtosecond filaments, we study the atomic nonlinear polarization induced by a high-intensity and ultrashort laser pulse in hydr
ogen by numerically solving the time dependent Schrodinger equation. Special emphasis is given to the efficient modeling of the nonlinear polarization at central laser frequency corresponding to 800 nm wavelength. Here, the recently proposed model of the Higher-Order Kerr Effect (HOKE) and t
Sub-wavelength diffractive optics, commonly known as metasurfaces, have recently garnered significant attention for their ability to create ultra-thin flat lenses with extremely short focal lengths. Several materials with different refractive indices
have been used to create metasurface lenses (metalenses). In this paper, we analyze the role of material refractive indices on the performance of these metalenses. We employ both forward and inverse design methodologies to perform our analysis. We found that, while high refractive index materials allow for extreme reduction of the focal length, for moderate focal lengths and numerical aperture (<0.6), there is no appreciable difference in focal spot-size and focusing efficiency for metalenses made of different materials with refractive indices ranging between n= 1.25 to n=3.5.
In this research, we report the experimental evidence of the directional Fano resonances at the scattering of a plane, linearly polarized electromagnetic wave by a homogeneous dielectric sphere with high refractive index and low losses. We observe a
typical asymmetric Fano profile for the intensity scattered in, practically, any given direction, while the overall extinction cross section remains Lorentzian. The phenomenon is originated in the interference of the selectively excited electric dipolar and quadrupolar modes. The selectivity of the excitation is achieved by the proper choice of the frequency of the incident wave. Thanks to the scaling invariance of the Maxwell equations, in these experiments we mimic the scattering of the visible and near IR radiation by a nanoparticle made of common superconductor materials (Si, Ge, GaAs, GaP) by the equivalent scattering of a spherical particle of 18 mm in diameter in the microwave range. The theory developed to explain the experiments extends the conventional Fano approach to the case when both interfering partitions are resonant. The perfect agreement between the experiment and the theory is demonstrated.
