The use of plasmas provides a way to overcome the low damage threshold of classical solid-state based optical materials, which is the main limitation encountered in producing and manipulating intense and energetic laser pulses. Plasmas can directly amplif
We demonstrate the confinement of broadband optical energy in the visible to near-infrared regime in a threedimensional nanoscale volume with high energy efficiency in a nanostructure consisting of multiple nanoslits in dielectric chacolgenide material. W
A novel H-plane cross-shaped circulator based on magneto-photonic crystals is experimentally investigated. The band gap of the TE mode for the photonic crystals is calculated by the plane wave expansion method. The transmission characteristics of the circ
