In this work, we introduce and study parallel-plate-waveguide structures that are formed by two penetrable metasurfaces having arbitrary sheet impedances. We investigate the guided modes which can propagate in such structures and derive the corresponding dispersion relations. Different scenarios including series- and parallel-resonant impedance sheets are considered. The obtained theoretical formulas are applied to predict the dispersion properties for different separations between the two symmetric or asymmetric metasurfaces.

In this paper, we introduce and study parallel-plate waveguides formed by two penetrable metasurfaces having arbitrary isotropic sheet impedances. We investigate guided modes of this structure and derive the corresponding dispersion relations. The co
nditions under which transverse magnetic and transverse electric modes can exist are discussed, and different scenarios including lossless (reactive) metasurfaces, gain-and-loss sheets and extreme cases are under general consideration. Resonant and non-resonant dispersive sheets and corresponding extreme cases are investigated. Our theoretical results are confirmed with full-wave simulated results considering practical realizations of the proposed parallel-plate waveguide which exploit two frequency-selective surfaces. Finally, the obtained theoretical formulas are applied to study the dispersion diagrams for waves along resonant sheets at different distances between the two identical or different metasurfaces. We hope that this study is useful for future applications at both microwave and optical regimes.
We demonstrate the electromagnetic performance of waveguides for femtosecond electron beam bunch manipulation and compression with strong-field terahertz (THz) pulses. The compressor structure is a dispersion-free exponentially-tapered parallel-plate
waveguide (PPWG) that can focus single-cycle THz pulses along one dimension. We show test results of the tapered PPWG structure using electro-optic sampling (EOS) at the interaction region with peak fields of at least 300 kV/cm given 0.9 uJ of incoming THz energy. We also present a modified shorted design of the tapered PPWG for better beam manipulation and reduced magnetic field as an alternative to a dual-feed approach. As an example, we demonstrate that with 5 uJ of THz energy, the PPWG compresses a 2.5 MeV electron bunch by a compression factor of more than 4 achieving a bunch length of about 18 fs.
Low-energy continuous states of electron in heterosrtucture with periodically placed quantum-dot sheets are studied theoretically. The Greens function of electron is governed by the Dyson equation with the self-energy function which is determined the
boundary conditions at quantum-dot sheets with weak damping in low-energy region. The parameters of superlattice formed by quantum-dot sheets are determined using of the short-range model of quantum dot. The density of states and spectral dependencies of the anisotropic absorption coefficient under mid-IR transitions from doped quantum dots into miniband states of superlattice strongly depend on dot concentration and on period of sheets. These dependencies can be used for characterization of the multi-layer structure and they determine parameters of different optoelectronic devices exploiting vertical transport of carriers through quantum-dot sheets.
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are the highest performing photon-counting technology in the near-infrared (NIR). Due to delay-line effects, large area SNSPDs typically trade-off timing resolution and detection efficiency. H
ere, we introduce a detector design based on transmission line engineering and differential readout for device-level signal conditioning, enabling a high system detection efficiency and a low detector jitter, simultaneously. To make our differential detectors compatible with single-ended time taggers, we also engineer analog differential-to-single-ended readout electronics, with minimal impact on the system timing resolution. Our niobium nitride differential SNSPDs achieve $47.3,% pm 2.4,%$ system detection efficiency and sub-$10,mathrm{ps}$ system jitter at $775,mathrm{nm}$, while at $1550,mathrm{nm}$ they achieve $71.1,% pm 3.7,%$ system detection efficiency and $13.1,mathrm{ps} pm 0.4,mathrm{ps}$ system jitter. These detectors also achieve sub-100 ps timing response at one one-hundredth maximum level, $30.7,mathrm{ps} pm 0.4,mathrm{ps}$ at $775,mathrm{nm}$ and $47.6,mathrm{ps} pm 0.4,mathrm{ps}$ at $1550,mathrm{nm}$, enabling time-correlated single-photon counting with high dynamic range response functions. Furthermore, thanks to the differential impedance-matched design, our detectors exhibit delay-line imaging capabilities and photon-number resolution. The properties and high-performance metrics achieved by our system make it a versatile photon-detection solution for many scientific applications.
Compact and robust waveguide chips are crucial for new integrated terahertz applications, such as high-speed interconnections between processors and broadband short-range wireless communications. Progress on topological photonic crystals shows potent
ial to improve integrated terahertz systems that suffer from high losses around sharp bends. Robust terahertz topological transport through sharp bends on a silicon chip has been recently reported over a relatively narrow bandwidth. Here, we report the experimental demonstration of topological terahertz planar air-channel metallic waveguides which can be integrated into an on-chip interconnect. Our platform can be fabricated by a simple, cost-effective technique combining 3D-printing and gold-sputtering. The relative size of the measured topological bandgap is ~12.5%, which entails significant improvement over all-silicon terahertz topological waveguides (~7.8%). We further demonstrate robust THz propagation around defects and delay lines. Our work provides a promising path towards compact integrated terahertz devices as a next frontier for terahertz wireless communications.
