We study the far-field reflected diffraction pattern of an index discontinuity in a thin one-dimensional slab illuminated by a plane wave and show that a time-saving modeling technique based on plane wave expansion approaches fairly well the Maxwell-based rigorous models. This method is simple to implement, and it furthermore allows a good understanding of the optical phenomena involved in the propagation of light through the slab.

Topological photonic crystals have great potential in the application of on-chip integrated optical communication devices. Here, we successfully construct the on-chip transmissible topological edge states using one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) photonic crystals with defect cavities on silicon-on-insulator slab. Different coupling strengths between the lateral modes and diagonal modes in photonic crystal defect cavities are used to construct the SSH model.

Trapping electromagnetic waves within the radiation continuum holds significant implications in the field of optical science and technology. Photonic bound states in the continuum (BICs) present a distinctive approach for achieving this functionality, offering potential applications in laser systems, sensing technologies, and other domains. However, the simultaneous achievement of high Q-factors, flat-band dispersions, and wide-angle responses in photonic BICs has not yet been reported, thereby impeding their practical performance due to laser direction deviation or sample disorder.

The predicted difference in optical behaviors between the two models is very small, which is difficult to distinguish by established measurement methods. Here, we present an optical spatial differentiation method to examine the difference in edge images of different graphene layers.

Dielectric interfaces are crucial to the behavior of charged membranes, from graphene to synthetic and biological lipid bilayers. Understanding electrolyte behavior near these interfaces remains a challenge, especially in the case of rough dielectric surfaces. A lack of analytical solutions consigns this problem to numerical treatments.

This study addresses the challenges of modeling flexible connections in composite structures employing a polymeric adhesive layer. These types of connections provide a more uniform stress distribution compared to conventional rigid connectors. However, they lack standardized design rules and still require much research to sufficiently comprehend their properties.
