Abstract Natural materials typically interact weakly with the magnetic component of light which greatly limits their applications. This has led to development artificial metamaterials and metasurfaces. However, natural atoms, where only electric dipole transitions are relevant at optical frequencies, can cooperatively respond form collective excitations strong magnetic, as well electric, intera...

We review recent progress on all-optical virtualprivate-network (VPN) schemes in passive optical networks (PONs). PON is a promising candidate in future access areas to provide broadband services with low cost. With all-optical virtual private network (VPN) function, PON can support efficient internetworking among end users with dedicated optical channels, thus enabling guaranteed bandwidth and...
