The use of negative-index materials is highly efficient for tailoring the spectral dispersion properties of a quarter-wavelength Bragg mirror and for obtaining resonant behavior of a multilayer Fabry-Perot cavity over a very large spectral range. An optimization method is proposed and validated on some first promising devices.

Azimuthal orientation and handedness dependence of the optical responses, accompanied by asymmetric transmission and asymmetric dichroism, were demonstrated on multilayers constructed with subwavelength periodic arrays of Babinet complementary miniarrays, illuminated by linearly and circularly polarized light. In case of single-sided illumination asymmetric optical responses were observed at the spectral location of maximal cross-polarization that is accompanied by radiative electric dipoles and weak, slowly-rotating in-plane magnetic dipoles on the nano-objects; where the outgoing waves are elliptically (almost circularly) polarized. The negative index material phenomenon was demonstrated, where the electric and magnetic dipoles overlap both spatially and spectrally.

Optical resonators are fundamental building blocks of photonic systems, enabling meta-surfaces, sensors, and transmission filters to be developed for a range of applications. Sub-wavelength size (< λ/10) resonators, including planar split-ring resonators, are at the forefront of research owing to their potential for light manipulation, sensing applications and for exploring fundamental light-matter coupling phenomena. Near-field microscopy has emerged as a valuable tool for mode imaging in sub-wavelength size terahertz (THz) frequency resonators, essential for emerging THz devices (e.

This study presented a unique, miniaturised asymmetric interconnected vertical stripe (IVS) design for terahertz (THz) frequency applications. Therefore, this research aimed to achieve a frequency response of 0 to 10 THz using a 5 × 5 µm Silicon (Si) substrate material. Meanwhile, various parametric examinations were conducted to investigate variations in the performance.

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of pregnancy-related mortality. CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) is the first-line advanced imaging modality for suspected PE in pregnancy at institutes offering low-dose techniques; however, a protocol balancing safety with low dose remains undefined. The wide range of CTPA doses reported in pregnancy suggests a lack of confidence in implementing low-dose techniques in this group.

Chiral inorganic nanomaterials have emerged as a highly promising area of research in nanoscience due to their exceptional light-matter interaction and vast potential applications in chiral sensing, asymmetric catalysis, enantiomer separation, and negative-index materials. We present an overview of the latest advances in chiral inorganic nanomaterials including chiral individual nanoparticles, chiral assemblies, and chiral film-based sensors over the past ten years. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives for developing chiral nanomaterials in biosensing applications.
