Transient chaos and Rayleigh particle escape out of a time modulated optical trap

We consider Rayleigh particles in a periodically modulated optical trap formed by two counter-propagating Gaussian beams. It is shown that for certain values of parameters the system exhibits transient chaos which manifests itself in particle acceleration and subsequent directional ejection out of the trap. The escape flights are terminated at the distance of hundreds wavelengths from the trap centrum and the particles return to the trap under the action of the Stokes force. The particle escape is shown to be a threshold effect that can be potentially employed for particle sorting.

Orbital rotation of spheroidal Mie particles driven by counter-propagating circularly-polarized beams

We theoretically consider orbital rotation of a spheroidal submicron particle in the field of two counter-propagating circularly polarized Gaussian beams. We derived equations connecting the parameters of the circular orbits centered on the beams axis to the optical force and torque. The equations show that, besides orbital rotation, the spheroidal particle simultaneously rotates around its equatorial axis. We found that two distinct dynamic regimes are possible. The orbital motion can be accompanied by a rapid proper rotation with angular velocity an order of magnitude larger than the angular velocity of the orbital rotation. Alternatively, the orbital and proper rotations can be synchronized. The direction of orbital rotation can either coincide with or be opposite to the direction of rotation of the electric vector. The findings are confirmed by direct numerical simulations. The results can be of use in development of nano-scale gyroscopes as well in shape-selective sorting of submicron particles.

Thermo-optic bistability in 2D all-dielectric resonators

We consider thermo-optic bistability in resonant excitation of high-quality modes in two-dimensional dielectric resonators. We develop a coupled-mode theory approach which account for the frequency shift due to a temperature dependent dielectric permittivity. The model is applied to rectangular and hexagonal resonators supporting an isolated high-quality resonant mode. The results are verified in comparison with straightforward finite-element simulations. It is shown that the model accurately describes the effect bistabily which occurs under variation of the angle of incidence or the intensity of the incident wave. In particular, it is demonstrated that variation of the incident angle can optimize the coupling between the resonator and the incident waves leading to bistabily with low intensity incident waves $W_0 = 0.35 {\rm μW/μm}^2$. The bistability threshold is shown to be extremely sensitive to the imaginary part of the dielectric permittivity $ε''$.

Thermo-optic hysteresis with bound states in the continuum

We consider thermo-optic hysteresis in a silicon structure supporting bound state in the continuum. Taking into account radiative heat transfer as a major cooling mechanism we constructed a non-linear model describing the optical response. It is shown that the thermo-optic hysteresis can be obtained with low intensities of incident light $I_0\approx 1~\rm{W/m^2}$ at the red edge of the visible under the critical coupling condition.

Giant resonant enhancement of optical binding of dielectric disks

Two-parametric variation over the aspect ratio of each disk and distance between disks gives rise to numerous events of avoided crossing of resonances of individual disks. For these events the hybridized anti-bonding resonant modes can acquire a morphology close to the Mie resonant mode with high orbital momentum of equivalent sphere. The $Q$ factor of such resonance can exceed the $Q$ factor of isolated disk by two orders in magnitude. We show that dual incoherent counter propagating coaxial Bessel beams with power $1mW/μm^2$ with frequency resonant to such a anti-bonding modes result in unprecedented optical binding forces up to decades of nano Newtons for silicon micron size disks. We show also that a magnitude and sign of optical forces strongly depend on the longitudinal wave vector of the Bessel beams.

Engineering of the extremely high Q factor in two subwavelength dielectric resonators

The high-Q {\it subwavelength} resonances in an isolated dielectric disk modes can be achieved by avoided crossing (anticrossing) of the nonorthogonal TE resonances under variation of the aspect ratio as it was reported by Rybin {\it et al} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 243901 (2017)]. Traversing over two parameters, the aspect ratio and the distance between two disks, enhances the Q factor by several times compared to the case of the former case of one-parametric avoided crossing in the isolated disk. Therefore successive two-parametric avoided crossing gives multiplicative gain in the Q-factor as it was expected. However if for the single disk its orthogonal resonant modes do not undergo avoided crossing, a presence of the second disk gives removes this restriction and gives rise to the avoided crossing of these modes that enhances the $Q$ factor by two orders in magnitude compared to the case of single disk. Respectively the multipolar decomposition of the anti-bonding resonant mode demonstrates conversion from lower to higher orders of the multipole modes similar to that as shown by Chen {\it et al} [Laser&PhotonicsReviews 13, 1900067 (2019)]. These results are interpreted by that the field configuration at the maximal conversion becomes close to the Mie resonant mode with high orbital momentum in equivalent sphere. For m=1 the resonant modes leakage into both type continua that substantially lowers the Q-factor of the subwavelength resonant modes.

Bound States in the Continuum and Fano Resonances in the Dirac Cone Spectrum

We consider light scattering by two dimensional arrays of high-index dielectric spheres arranged into the triangular lattice. It is demonstrated that in the case a triple degeneracy of resonant leaky modes in the Gamma-point the scattering spectra exhibit a complicated picture of Fano resonances with extremely narrow line-width. The Fan features are explained through coupled mode theory for a Dirac cone spectrum as a signature of optical bound states in the continuum (BIC). It is found that the standing wave in-Gamma BIC induces a ring of off-Gamma BICs due to different scaling laws for real and imaginary parts of the resonant eigenfrequencies in the Dirac cone spectrum. A quantitative theory of the spectra is proposed.

Propagating bound states in the continuum in dielectric gratings

We consider propagating bound states in the continuum in dielectric gratings. The gratings consist of a slab with ridges periodically arranged ether on top or on the both sides of the slab. Based on the Fourier modal approach we recover the leaky zones above the line of light to identify the geometries of the gratings supporting Bloch bound states propagating in the direction perpendicular to the ridges. Most importantly, it is demonstrated that if a two-side grating possesses either mirror or glide symmetry the Bloch bound states are stable to variation of parameters as far as the above symmetries are preserved.

Wannier-Stark states in double-periodic lattices I: one-dimensional lattices

We analyze the Wannier-Stark spectrum of a quantum particle in generic one-dimensional double-periodic lattices. In the limit of weak static field the spectrum is shown to be a superposition of two Wannier-Stark ladders originated from two Bloch subbands. As the strength of the field is increased, the spectrum rearranges itself into a single Wannier-Stark ladder. We derive analytical expressions which describe the rearrangement employing the analogy between the Wannier-Stark problem and the driven two-level system in the strong-coupling regime.

Wannier-Stark states in double-periodic lattices II: two-dimensional lattices

We analyze the Wannier-Stark spectrum of a quantum particle in tilted two-dimensional lattices with the Bloch spectrum consisting of two subbands, which could be either separated by a finite gap or connected at the Dirac points. For rational orientations of the static field given by an arbitrary superposition of the translation vectors the spectrum is a ladder of energy bands. We obtain asymptotic expressions for the energy bands in the limit of large and weak static fields and study them numerically for intermediate field strength. We show that the structure of energy bands determines the rate of spreading of a localized wave packets which is the quantity measured in laboratory experiments. It is shown that wave-packet dispersion becomes a fractal function of the field orientation in the long-time regime of ballistic spreading.

All optical diode based on dipole modes of Kerr microcavity in asymmetric L-shaped photonic crystal waveguide

A design of all optical diode in $L$-shaped photonic crystal waveguide is proposed that uses the multistability of single nonlinear Kerr microcavity with two dipole modes. Asymmetry of the waveguide is achieved by difference in coupling of the dipole modes with the left and right legs of waveguide. By use of coupled mode theory we present domains in axis of light frequency and amplitude where an extremely high transmission contrast can be achieved. The direction of optical diode transmission can be governed by power and frequency of injecting light. The theory agrees with numerical solution of the Maxwell equations.

Correlated behavior of conductance and phase rigidity in the transition from the weak-coupling to the strong-coupling regime

We study the transmission through different small systems as a function of the coupling strength $v$ to the two attached leads. The leads are identical with only one propagating mode $ξ^E_C$ in each of them. Besides the conductance $G$, we calculate the phase rigidity $ρ$ of the scattering wave function $Ψ^E_C$ in the interior of the system. Most interesting results are obtained in the regime of strongly overlapping resonance states where the crossover from staying to traveling modes takes place. The crossover is characterized by collective effects. Here, the conductance is plateau-like enhanced in some energy regions of finite length while corridors with zero transmission (total reflection) appear in other energy regions. This transmission picture depends only weakly on the spectrum of the closed system. It is caused by the alignment of some resonance states of the system with the propagating modes $ξ^E_C$ in the leads. The alignment of resonance states takes place stepwise by resonance trapping, i.e. it is accompanied by the decoupling of other resonance states from the continuum of propagating modes. This process is quantitatively described by the phase rigidity $ρ$ of the scattering wave function. Averaged over energy in the considered energy window, $ $ is correlated with $1-<ρ>$. In the regime of strong coupling, only two short-lived resonance states survive each aligned with one of the channel wave functions $ξ^E_C$. They may be identified with traveling modes through the system. The remaining $M-2$ trapped narrow resonance states are well separated from one another.

Phase rigidity and avoided level crossings in the complex energy plane

We consider the effective Hamiltonian of an open quantum system, its biorthogonal eigenfunctions $ϕ_λ$ and define the value $r_λ= (ϕ_λ|ϕ_λ)/<ϕ_λ|ϕ_λ>$ that characterizes the phase rigidity of the eigenfunctions $ϕ_λ$. In the scenario with avoided level crossings, $r_λ$ varies between 1 and 0 due to the mutual influence of neighboring resonances. The variation of $r_λ$ may be considered as an internal property of an {\it open} quantum system. In the literature, the phase rigidity $ρ$ of the scattering wave function $Ψ^E_C$ is considered. Since $Ψ^E_C$ can be represented in the interior of the system by the $ϕ_λ$, the phase rigidity $ρ$ of the $Ψ^E_C$ is related to the $r_λ$ and therefore also to the mutual influence of neighboring resonances. As a consequence, the reduction of the phase rigidity $ρ$ to values smaller than 1 should be considered, at least partly, as an internal property of an open quantum system in the overlapping regime. The relation to measurable values such as the transmission through a quantum dot, follows from the fact that the transmission is, in any case, resonant with respect to the effective Hamiltonian. We illustrate the relation between phase rigidity $ρ$ and transmission numerically for small open cavities.

Spectroscopic properties of large open quantum-chaotic cavities with and without separated time scales

The spectroscopic properties of an open large Bunimovich cavity are studied numerically in the framework of the effective Hamiltonian formalism. The cavity is opened by attaching leads to it in four different ways. In some cases, short-lived and long-lived resonance states coexist. The short-lived states cause traveling waves in the transmission while the long-lived ones generate superposed fluctuations. The traveling waves oscillate as a function of energy. They are not localized in the interior of the large chaotic cavity. In other cases, the transmission takes place via standing waves with an intensity that closely follows the profile of the resonances. In all considered cases, the phase rigidity fluctuates with energy. It is mostly near to its maximum value and agrees well with the theoretical value for the two-channel case. As shown in the foregoing paper \cite{1}, all cases are described well by the Poisson kernel when the calculation is restricted to an energy region in which the average $S$ matrix is (nearly) constant.

Hall-like effect induced by spin-orbit interaction

The effect of spin-orbit interaction on electron transport properties of a cross-junction structure is studied. It is shown that it results in spin polarization of left and right outgoing electron waves. Consequently, incoming electron wave of a proper polarization induces voltage drop perpendicularly to the direct current flow between source and drain of the considered four-terminal cross-structure. The resulting Hall-like resistance is estimated to be of the order of 10^-3 - 10^-2 h/e^2 for technologically available structures. The effect becomes more pronounced in the vicinity of resonances where Hall-like resistance changes its sign as function of the Fermi energy.
