Cloaking a Sensor Abstract We propose the general concept of cloaking a sensor without affecting its capability to receive, measure, and observe an incoming signal. This may be obtained by using a plasmonic sensor, based on cloaking, made of materials available in nature at infrared and optical frequencies, or realizable as a metamaterial at lower frequencies. The er sult is a sensing system that may receive and transmit information, while its presence is not perceived by the surrounding, which may be of fundamental importance in a wide range of biological, optics, physics, and engineering applications. -

Fundamentals and Applications in Narrowband Transmission Color Filtering
Nanophotonic Structures: Fundamentals and Applications in Narrowband Transmission Color Filtering Thesis by Dagny Fleischman In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2019 Defended June 22, 2018 ii © 2019 Dagny Fleischman ORCID: 0000-0003-2913-657X All rights reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This has been an incredible journey, and it would not have come together without the support and wisdom of a phenomenal group of people. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and through this experience I’ve seen that is equally applicable to graduate students, because it has certainly taken a village to raise me. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Harry Atwater. I am incredibly grateful for the freedom Harry has given me to turn my childhood fascination with colors into an extremely gratifying research path. Harry embodies everything a scientist and faculty member should be: keenly intelligent, insatiably curious, and someone who cares as deeply about his students as he does the science he is studying. As much as he has contributed to my development as a scientist, he has added even more to my understanding of just how much an individual can contribute to science and technology. We often joke in lab that “we can’t all be Harry Atwater” and I will always be deeply impressed by the nearly impossibly high bar he has set for us all to aspire to. In addition to Harry’s mentorship, I was extremely fortunate to have Luke Sweat- lock as a mentor during the early years of my PhD. -

A Metamaterial Path Towards Optical Integrated Nanocircuits Abstract Metamaterials are known to demonstrate exotic electromagnetic and optical properties. The extra control over manipulation of waves and fields afforded by metamaterials can be exploited towards exploring various platforms, e.g., optical integrated circuits. Nanophotonic integrated circuits have been the topic of past and ongoing research in multiple fields including, but not limited o,t electrical engineering, optics and materials science. In the present work, we theoretically study and analyze metamaterial properties that can be potentially utilized in the future design of optical integrated circuits. On this path, we seek inspiration from electronics to tackle multiple issues in developing such layered nanocircuitry. We identify modularity, directionality/isolation and tunability as three useful features of electronics and we theoretically explore mimicking them in nanoscale optics. Using epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) and mu-near- zero (MNZ) properties we propose concepts to transplant some aspects of modular design of electronic passive circuits and filters into nanophotonics. We also exploit ENZ materials to develop “transformer- like” functionality in optical nanocircuits. -
Controlling the Phase of Light by Nanostructuring of Materials by David Barth a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction O
Controlling the Phase of Light by Nanostructuring of Materials by David Barth A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering { Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Xiang Zhang, Chair Professor Lydia Sohn Professor Laura Waller Summer 2017 Controlling the Phase of Light by Nanostructuring of Materials Copyright 2017 by David Barth 1 Abstract Controlling the Phase of Light by Nanostructuring of Materials by David Barth Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering { Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor Xiang Zhang, Chair The previous century was defined to a major extent by the digital revolution, which ushered in the information age. This rapid proliferation and improvement of electronic technology continues to have far-reaching effects on human existence. Similarly, advances in photonics have the potential to lead to technology that drastically changes our lives. So far, the vast potential of photonics, and especially nanophotonics, has not resulted in such sweeping societal change. While the laser, LED, and photovoltaic cell serve important, and increasing, functions, technological advances in photon control at the nanoscale are required for the full potential of photonics for computing, medicine, and energy to be realized. In this dissertation, we examine some methods and devices that can address these needs in photonics, particularly by exploiting the refractive index of materials, the phase of light, and the relation between the two. The first chapter focuses on controlling the refractive index of silicon by inducing spatially varying porosity. This technique enables the fabrication of gradient index devices that can control light's propagation through the device to a degree that is not possible with traditional optical elements. -
Transformation Optics for Plasmonics: from Metasurfaces to Excitonic Strong Coupling

Fern´andez-Dom´ınguez2;y 1Instituto de Telecomunicaes, Insituto Superior Te´ecnico-University of Lisbon, Avenida Rovisco Pais 1,1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal 2Departamento de F´ısicaTe´orica de la Materia Condensada and Condensed Matter Physics Center (IFIMAC), Universidad Autnoma de Madrid, E-28049 Madrid, Spain ∗[email protected] [email protected] August 1, 2019 Abstract We review the latest theoretical advances in the application of the framework of Transformation Optics for the analytical description of deeply sub-wavelength electromagnetic phenomena. First, we present a general description of the technique, together with its usual exploitation for meta- material conception and optimization in different areas of wave physics. Next, we discuss in detail the design of plasmonic metasurfaces, includ- ing the description of singular geometries which allow for broadband ab- sorption in ultrathin platforms. Finally, we discuss the quasi-analytical treatment of plasmon-exciton strong coupling in nanocavities at the single emitter level. 1 Introduction The development of Transformation Optics [1, 2] (TO) has been instrumen- tal in the fast development that metamaterial science has experienced during the last years [3]. This theoretical tool exploits the invariance of macroscopic Maxwell's equations under coordinate transformations to establish a link be- tween an electromagnetic (EM) phenomenon, described by the transformation, and the material response required for its realization. Thus, TO determines the way in which the EM constitutive relations, and therefore the permittivity and permeability tensors, must be tailored in space in order to obtain a desired arXiv:1907.13546v1 [cond-mat.mes-hall] 31 Jul 2019 effect.
