The present work shows that a perfectly conducting sphere with a hidden magnetic field is a simple nonradiating electromagnetic source with mechanical excitation and complete internal confinement of electromagnetic energy. It does not require external electromagnetic excitation and is excited by rotation, which induces internal charges and currents with a self-compensating external radiation. The constructed source acts on itself through Lorentz forces emerging from the interaction of charges and currents with electromagnetic fields inside the sphere and, when having a freedom of rotation about the fixed center, exhibits regular precession like a gyroscope. This self-action reveals an internal electromagnetic activity of the perfect nonradiating source, externally inactive and invisible. Neutron stars, these nanospheres of space, can be such natural nonradiating sources when their magnetic fields are buried.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49699,"journal":{"name":"Photonics and Nanostructures-Fundamentals and Applications","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101195"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91959648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, further advancements are necessary to enhance the efficiency of metasurfaces in nonlinear devices. Here, a novel approach for second harmonic generation (SHG) based on the LiNbO₃ metasurface using leaked plasmonic bound states in the continuum (BIC) is proposed. The behavior of SHG in the guided mode resonance (GMR) under TE polarization and plasmonic modes under TM polarization is investigated. The structure consists of a plasmonic grating overlying a nonlinear lithium niobate dielectric waveguide layer that supports two different BIC, namely plasmonic BIC and GMR BIC. The evolution of second harmonics generation(SHG) near two groups of BIC is explored. The SHG of the plasmonic quasi-BIC is stronger than that based on the GMR quasi-BIC. In addition, the plasmonic accidental quasi-BIC produces stronger harmonic effects than the quasi-BIC based on symmetry-broken. Specifically, at a pump intensity of 30 MW/cm², this accidental quasi-BIC results in SHG efficiency of 1.86 × 10⁻³. This work provides a valuable approach to achieving enhanced SHG using plasmonic and BIC. It opens up new possibilities for the utilization of LiNbO₃ in integrated nonlinear nanophotonics and paves the way for the development of advanced nonlinear photonic devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49699,"journal":{"name":"Photonics and Nanostructures-Fundamentals and Applications","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 101194"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50187223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Green synthesis of Fe</span></span></span>₃O₄/Ag NPs has several advantages, including being environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable. This research successfully investigated the EO-LSPR properties of green-synthesized Fe₃O₄/Ag NPs with various Ag concentrations. Green synthesis of Fe₃O₄/Ag composites NPs was prepared utilizing <em>Moringa oleifera</em><span> by an aqueous solution method. The EO-LSPR phenomenon was investigated by applying various voltages in the Kretschmann configuration with a layer arrangement of a prism/Au thin film/NPs/air with a wavelength of 632.8 nm.

The results show that applying the electric field induces the LSPR angle of Fe₃O₄/Ag NPs to shift to a larger angle. Applying an electric field causes a change in the material's refractive index. The greater the applied electric field, the more significant the LSPR angle shifts.

Realization of nonlinear behavior is studied systematically by putting the structure inside a unidirectional ring cavity and driving it by pair of dichromatic fields, that one provides a weak probe, while the other offers a strong driving component. It is shown that the absorption/dispersion properties of the probe field might be controlled by tuning the quantum interference via changing the structural features as well as the externally controlled parameters. Thus adjusting the optical bistability (OB) threshold, hysteresis cycle size or even transition from OB to multi-stability might be possible easily.

During the ripples’ formation, the residual melting silicon is most probably located at the boundary between the ditch and ridge of the ripple. Furthermore, the period of the nanodot array is roughly equal to the perimeter of the nanodot. Therefore, it is considered that the dot array may be generated due to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of the melting silicon. It is also noted that these nanodots are all uniformly arranged along vertical lines, indicating that the subsequent incident laser may break the stochastic characteristic of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability and produce the 2D periodic dot array.
