Digital optical spectrometer-on-chip
A concept of digital optical spectrometer-on-chip is proposed and results of their fabrication and characterization are reported. The devices are based on computer-designed digital planar holograms wh...

Damping of the tunneling mechanism in high-order harmonic generation processes induced by femtosecond visible laser pulses
The high-order harmonic generation (HHG) of coherent light pulses in gases is strictly dependent on the ionization dynamics that delocalizes the electron wave function in the laser field continuum. He...

We develop an approach to broad-band omnidirectional light absorption, based on light propagation in a metamaterial structure forming an effective “black hole.” The proposed system does not rely on magnetic response, is nonresonant, and can be fabricated from existing materials. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
