This study details a theoretical analysis of leaky and waveguide modes in biperiodic all-dielectric holograms. By tuning diffraction orders and subsequently confining local density of optical states at two distinct resonance wavelengths, we present a new class of highly sensitive refractive index biosensing platforms that are capable of resolving 35.5 to 41.3 nm/RIU of spectral shift for two separate biological analytes.

This work presents the generation of an Airy beam by a leaky-wave structure (LWS) designed from a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) with dimension-varying slots. The Airy beam is radiated by judiciously designing the length of the slots to modulate the phase distribution. Compared to Airy beams generated by phased array antennas or metasurfaces, no complex feeding network associated with phase shifters and no space-wave illumination is required, thus allowing one to reach a low-profile structure.

Article Synopsis
  • The study demonstrates the application of machine learning for classifying topological phases in finite leaky photonic lattices using minimal measurement data.
  • The proposed method relies on a single real-space bulk intensity image, avoiding complex phase retrieval techniques.
  • A fully connected neural network is designed to identify topological properties from intensity distributions in waveguide arrays after a localized excitation, mimicking realistic experimental conditions.

We investigated an asymmetric slab grating structure to achieve significant tuning of the quality (Q) factor for a leaky mode while minimizing frequency variation. This structure comprises two identical gratings placed on the top and bottom of a slab waveguide, with one grating laterally shifted to introduce asymmetry. Simulations demonstrate that lateral shifting of one grating induces extensive changes in the Q-factor with minimal frequency variation, particularly near the band-flip filling fraction because the band-flip filling fraction remains unaffected by the shifting.

Quasi-phasematched mixing processes of acoustic waves via second-order nonlinearity are analyzed with two perfectly guided waves generating a leaky wave. The efficiency of such processes is quantified by an acoustic nonlinearity parameter (ANP), defined as the linear growth rate of the leaky wave's amplitude in the initial stage of its spatial evolution. Two approximate ways of estimating the ANP of such processes are suggested.

In this paper, we present and design a tensor holographic metasurface (THMS) capable of radiating multiple beams with different polarizations in both forward and backward directions. The proposed THMS manipulates the fundamental TE mode surface waves (SWs) to produce bidirectional leaky-wave radiation using bilayer anisotropic metal patches. To achieve the independent control of the direction and polarization of bidirectional beams, the nature of the capacitive impedance element supporting TE mode SWs is exploited.
