Transverse mode localization in 3D deterministic aperiodic structures
Three-dimensional deterministic aperiodic structures are realized for the first time and studied with respect to their optical properties.
Multi-spectral materials in the visible, infrared, and terahertz
The combination of a plasmonic color filter and a terahertz metamaterial absorber exhibits unique resonant phenomena over several decades of wavelengths.
Hyperuniform disordered photonic materials with a complete band gap
Due to their unique properties these fascinating materials are predicted to possess a complete photonic bandgap without any long-range order.
