Research


Our current research field is nanophotonics, which includes photonic crystals, plasmonic structures, and electromagnetic metamaterials as three major research topics. We are devoted to studying the physical mechanisms behind important phenomena in these topics and to designing or improving the structures or materials with more or better functions based on these mechanisms. Our approaches to the problem are analytical derivations and numerical simulations by coding or running packages. Experimental cooperations with other groups in NTU and Academia Sinica are on the way.


Photonic Crystals

Photonic crystals are periodic structures made of dielectrics, metals, or other materials, with the lattice constant comparable with the wavelength of electromagnetic wave. One of the most distinguished features is the photonic band gap, a forbidden frequency range for waves to propagate in the crystal.

The following diagram is the photonic crystal composed of connected hexagonal lattice, which exhibits a large full band gap.

Plasmonic Structures

Plasmonic structures are conductors that support collective excitation of electrons, coupled with the external electromagnetic waves. Surface plasmon resonance is one of the most important features in these structures, which provides practical applications such as waveguides and sensors.

The following figure is a plot of the extinction efficiency for a pair of silver nanoparticles, showing the plasmonic resonances associated with dipole, quadrupole, and octopole modes.

Electromagnetic Metamaterials

Metamaterials are artificial structures having unusual physical properties that are not available in naturally occurring materials, such as negative permeability or negative index of refraction. These unusual properties may come from the strong interaction of waves with the internal elements that compose the structure.

The following demo is an example of our research work, showing a Gaussian beam incident from vacuum onto a chiral medium for illustrating negative refraction and backward wave.

Topological Photonics

Topological insulators are insulating in the bulk but possess conducting states on their surfaces. A remarkable feature of the topological phase is the emergence of gapless edge states that are protected by topology. The novel concepts of topological phases have also been extended to photonic systems, leading to the discovery of photonic topological insulators.

The following demo is an example of our research work, showing the propagation of a topologically protected surface wave on the hyperbolic-gyromagnetic metamaterial.

Bound States in the Continuum

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are non-leaky localized resonance modes that coexist with a continuous spectrum of radiating waves1,2,3,4. Since BICs will not radiate to the far field, they are decoupled from the far-field radiation and possess infinite quality factors with zero spectral linewidths. In the presence of the absorption loss, roughness, or finite size of the structure, a theoretically true BIC is turned into a quasi-BIC with a finite quality factor.

Then the young man asked God what a million dollars was to Him. God replied, "A million dollars to me is just like a single penny to you." Then the young man got his courage up and asked: "God, could I have one of your pennies?" God smiled and replied, "Certainly, just a second."
