2D Optics on Bloch Surface Waves (BSWs) Based Platform:
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dielectric multilayer is specially tailored to support BSWs with properties unattainable using conventional materials. In particular, the low-loss characteristic of dielectric material enables the propagation of BSWs over large distances and enables large resonance strengths. These properties are highly desirable for a 2D optics platform. Elements such as lenses, prisms, waveguides, resonators or interferometers are easily manufactured, thanks to the surface nature of BSWs.

Manipulating Bloch surface waves in 2D: a platform concept-based flat lens
At the end of the 1970s, it was confirmed that dielectric multilayers can sustain Bloch surface waves (BSWs). However, BSWs were not widely studied until more recently. Taking advantage of their high-quality factor, sensing applications have focused on BSWs. Thus far, no work has been performed to manipulate and control the natural surface propagations in terms of defined functions with two-dim...

Dielectric multilayers sustaining Bloch surface waves (BSWs) are considered as a novel platform for two dimensional (2D) integrated optics. The dielectric platform is exploited to manipulate surface waves by patterning 2D dielectric optical components on top of it. BSW shows a potential of higher propagation length and large resonance strength because of low loss characteristics of dielectric m...
