Application of surface polariton coupling between nano recording marks to optical data storage

Plasmonic nano-structures for optical data storage.

We propose a method of optical data storage that exploits the small dimensions of metallic nano-particles and/or nano-structures to achieve high storage densities. The resonant behavior of these particles (both individually and in small clusters) in the presence of ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light may be used to retrieve pre-recorded information by far-field spectroscopic optical d...

Bloch Surface Waves for MoS2 Emission Coupling and Polariton Systems

Due to their extraordinary quality factor and extreme sensitivity to surface perturbations, Bloch surface waves (BSW) have been widely investigated for sensing applications so far. Over the last few years, on-chip control of optical signals through BSW has experienced a rapidly-expanding interest in the scientific community, attesting to BSW’s position at the forefront towards on-chip optical o...

Wide-range coupling between surface plasmon polariton and cylindrical dielectric waveguide mode.

A modified hybrid waveguide with a wide-range coupling and long propagation has been proposed and the coupled mode theory has been applied to study the hybrid waveguide systematically. Two structures are comparatively discussed, namely, a dielectric wire and a circular capillary tube, which are buried in a polymer matrix and separated from the silver substrate by a gap. The simulated results in...

Vertical coupling between short range surface plasmon polariton mode and dielectric waveguide mode

Surface phonon-polariton enhanced optical forces in silicon carbide nanostructures.

The enhanced optical forces induced by surface phonon-polariton (SPhP) modes are investigated in different silicon carbide (SiC) nanostructures. Specifically, we calculate optical forces using the Maxwell stress tensor for three different geometries: spherical particles, slab waveguides, and rectangular waveguides. We show that SPhP modes in SiC can produce very large forces, more than one orde...
