Sir John Brian Pendry Imperial College London, UK Transformation optics, surface plasmons, and metasurfaces Sir John B. Pendry is an English theoretical physicist educated at Downing College, Cambridge, UK, graduating with a Master of Arts degree in Natural Sciences and a PhD in 1969. He is a professor of theoretical solid state physics at Imperial College London where he was Head of the Department of Physics (1998 - 2001) and Principal of the Faculty of Physical Sciences (2001 - 2002). John Pendry has made seminal contributions to surface science, disordered systems and photonics. His most famous work has introduced a new class of materials, metamaterials, whose electromagnetic properties depend on their internal structure rather than their chemical constitution. He discovered that a perfect lens manufactured from negatively refracting material would circumvent AbbeÊijs diffraction limit to spatial resolution, which has stood for more than a century. His most recent innovation of transformation optics gives the metamaterial specifications required torearrange electromagnetic field configurations at will, by representing the field distortions as a warping of the space in which they exist. In its simplest form the theory shows how we can direct field lines around a given obstacle and thus provide a cloak of invisibility. John Pendry’s outstanding contributions have been awarded by many prizes, among which the Dirac Prize(1996), the Knight Bachelor (2004), the Royal Medal (2006), the Isaac Newton Medal (2013) and the Kavli Prize (2014). 7 David R. Smith Duke University, USA Translational Metamaterials Research : Taking Metamaterials from the Laboratory to the Marketplace David R. Smith is currently the James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Duke University and Director of the Center for Metamaterial and Integrated Plasmonics. He also holds the positions of Adjunct Associate Professor in the Physics Department at the University of California, San Diego, and Visiting Professor of Physics at Imperial College, London. Dr. Smith received his Ph.D. in 1994 in Physics from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Dr. Smith’s research interests include the theory, simulation and characterization of unique electromagnetic structures, including photonic crystals and metamaterials. Smith and his colleagues at UCSD demonstrated the first left-handed (or negative index) metamaterial at microwave frequencies in 2000–a material that had been predicted theoretically more than thirty years prior by Russian physicist Victor Veselago. No naturally occurring material or compound with a negative index-of-refraction had ever been reported until this experiment. In 2001, Smith and colleagues followed up with a second experiment confirming one of Veselago’s key conjectures : the ’reversal’ of Snell’s law. These two papers–the first published in Physical Review Letters and the second in Science–generated enormous interest throughout the community in the possibility of metamaterials to extend and augment the properties of conventional materials. Both papers have now been cited nearly 4,000 times each.

Christodoulides University of Central Florida (USA) The idea of judiciously utilizing both optical gain and loss has been recently suggested as a means to control the flow of light. This proposition makes use of some newly developed concepts based on non-Hermiticity and parity-time (PT) symmetry. By harnessing such notions, recent works indicate that novel synthetic structures and devices with counter-intuitive properties can be realized – potentially enabling new possibilities in the field of optics and integrated photonics. 09:40 : Plenary talk Translational Metamaterials Research: Taking Metamaterials from the Laboratory to the Marketplace David R. Smith Duke University (USA) Coffee Break and Exhibit Inspection Session 1P1 Poster session I 10:20 - 11:00 P1: Locally Self-uniform Photonic Networks Steven Sellers1 , Weining Man2 , Marian Florescu1 1 University of Surrey (United Kingdom), 2 San Francisco State University (USA) Connections between geometry and optical properties help us understand light’s interaction with structured media. Here we introduce local self-uniformity to explore fundamental physics and unlock advanced optical control. Local self-uniformity measures the internal spatial similarities of a random network and unites the set of observed photonic band gap structures. We demonstrate its significance by generating novel band gap amorphous gyroid networks and we present a naturally-occurring network with amorphous gyroid character in the butterfly Pseudolycaena marsyas. 16 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 P2: Designing hyperuniform structures for efficient light harvesting Georgios Gkantzounis, Marian Florescu University of Surrey (United Kingdom) Photonic crystals have been proven very efficient for light manipulation. Lately, this has become even more efficient by the use of hyperuniform structures, which exhibit much richer Fourier spectra. We discuss a new approach to the design of hyperuniform structures for explicitly targeting a given Fourier spectrum. We were able to design large hyperuniform structures of different geometrical types and vanishing contribution to the radiative Fourier components. Consequently, we observe efficient light absorption in all cases considered. P3: Two photon luminescence microscopy maps the plasmonic density of state and plasmon propagation in 2D gold crystals Upkar Kumar1 , Universite Federale de Toulouse Viarbitskaya1 , Aurelien Cuche1 , Gerard Colas des Francs2 , Rafaelle Mezzenga3 , Christian Girard1 , Alexandre Bouhelier2 , Erik Dujardin1 1 Universite Federale de Toulouse (France), 2 Universite de Bourgogne (France), 3 ETH Zurich (Switzerland) We report on using two photon luminescence microscopy as an optical imaging technique for probing both the spatial distribution of Surface Plasmon Local Density of States (SP-LDOS) and the transmission efficiency inside chemically-grown crystalline gold platelets. P4: Theory for the diffusion of light polarization in disordered media with short-range structural correlations Kevin Vynck1 , Romain Pierrat2 , Remi Carminati2 1 Bordeaux University (France), 2 Institut Langevin (France) We develop a model based on multiple scattering theory to describe the diffusion of light polarization in a disordered medium exhibiting structural correlations. A radiative transfer equation for the polarization-resolved specific intensity is derived and solved analytically in the diffusion approximation. Our study reveals the intricate relation between light polarization and short-range structural correlations. P5: Polarization statistics in disordered media:Modelization and measurements Myriam Zerrad, Ayman Ghabbach, Gabriel Soriano, Quentin Ailloud, Claude Amra Aix Marseille Universite (France) A statistical study of polarimetric parameters of the speckle scattered by a disordered media under coherent illumination is presented. A dedicated metrology was developed to measure accurate histograms of the polarization degree. Recorded data are compared to modelization and structural signatures are extracted to analyze complex media. P6: Metasurfaces becoming real: a new class of polarimeters Anders Pors, Sergey I. Bozhevolnyi University of Southern Denmark (Denmark) Based on appropriately designed phase-gradient birefringent metasurfaces, we introduce a new type of compact polarimeter that, unlike conventional approaches, allows one to easily analyze an arbitrary state of light polarization by conducting simultaneous (i.e., parallel) measurements of the corresponding diffraction intensities. We experimentally demonstrate the functionality of the proposed device at a wavelength of 800nm, while also addressing extensions of the design concept to in-plane polarimeters and spectrally-resolved measurements. P7: Extension of standard transfer-matrix method for three-wavemixing for plasmonic structures Ardi Loot, Vladimir Hizhnyakov University of Tartu (Estonia) Fast and accurate modelling of three-wave mixing processes in arbitrary stratified medium has significant practical and scientific importance. Several attempts to generalize transfer-matrix method (TMM) for nonlinear interactions have been made, however none suits for easy-to-use modelling of plasmonic structures which requires oblique angle of incidence, p-polarization and minimal approximations. In this work, an easy-to-use extension to standard TMM is proposed. The proposed method is used to study the strength of unconventional plasmonic enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG). P8: Fano and Induced Transparency in Plasmon Based Optical Sensors Zouheir Sekkat1 , Shinji Hayashi2 17 META’16 Malaga Program 1 Monday 25th July, 2016 Mohammed V University (Morocco), 2 Osaka University (Japan) During the past few years, we have been involved in the study of optical sensors, in particular the plasmonic sensors, to achieve ultra-high sensitivities. As is well known, the sensitivity of the conventional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on a single layer of Au is not very high because of the broad lineshape of the resonance. We propose here alternative ways to improve the sensitivity and to achieve extremely high sensitivities. P9: Full-spectrum solar light absorbtion and photothermal conversion with Ge-Sn on black silicon Yoshiaki Nishijima1 , Ryosuke Komatsu1 , Takuya Yamamura1 , Gediminas Seniutinas1 , Armandas Balcytis2 , Saulius Juodkazis3 1 Yokohama National University (Japan), 2 Swinburne University ofTechnology (Australia), 3 Swinburne University of Technology (Australia) Harvesting entire solar light energy is desired for developing a sustainable energy supply for society. Solar cells still have unavoidable energy loss due to the heat generation. Also, transparency window for longer wavelength is not utilised for the photocurrent conversion. Here we demonstrate the photo-thermo-electric conversion system for the harvesting broad-band solar energy that can not be used in Si solar cell by direct absorption. Black silicon reducing the reflection of surface, and Ge-Sn layer is absorbing the full spectral wavelength of solar light. P10: Hybrid surface plasmon modes in metallic nanostructures: Complete numerical analysis and application to bio-sensing Mitradeep Sarkar1 , Jean-Francois Bryche1 , Raymond Gillibert1 , Julien Moreau1 , Mondher Besbes1 , Aurore Olivero1 , Gregory Barbillon1 , Bernard Bartenlian1 , Marc Lamy de la Chapelle2 , Michael Canva1 1 Universite Paris Sud (France), 2 Universite Paris-Nord (France) We introduce a simple analytical model to predict the existence of all the different plasmonic modes and their dispersion in a hybrid nano-structured geometry consisting of an array of metallic particles with an underlying metallic film. Such detailed description of plasmonic modes can offer a complete understanding of the surface plasmon resonance phenomena in such metallic structures and allows their optimization as per required for various applications such as SPR detection and SERS. P11: Enhanced light emission in organic materials caused by constructive surface plasmon generation and scattering Takahiro Inui1 , Yuhta Mizoguchi1 , Takuya Yoneda1 , Taichi Ishiguro1 , Kenichi Kasahara1 , Naoki Ikeda2 , Yoshimasa Sugimoto2 1 Ritsumeikan University (Japan), 2 Nanotechnology Innovation Center (Japan) Photoluminescence enhancement observed in Alq3 with Ag was 3-4 at output angles, which could not be explained by the calculated scattering rate of surface plasmons. Experimental results suggested that surface plasmons were generated in phase at the same time, and scattered simultaneously. Aggregate behavior of the energy transfer of excitions to surface plasmons can happen, because excitions inthe organic film exist mere nanometers apart. P12: Plasmonic color printing combining conjugate twin phase modulation with plasmonic broadband absorption Jiancai Xue, Zhang-Kai Zhou, Xue-Hua Wang Sun Yat-sen University (China) Plasmonic color printing has a promising future as a new generation of color printing technology. As for practical application, the problems of color gamut and production area need to be addressed. Here, we realize scalable and full-color plasmonic color printing by combining conjugate twin phase modulation with plasmonic broadband absorption. Furthermore, we develop plasmonic color printing with reversibly colorchanging capability, giving rise to enormous potentials in special label, anti-counterfeiting, and even highdensity data encryption storage. P13: UV Circular Polarization Selection using Aluminum Nano-Spirals Matthew S. Davis1 , J. Strait2 , J. K. Lee1 , S. Blair3 , A. Agrawal2 , H. J. Lezec2 1 Syracuse University (USA), 2 Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (USA), 3 University of Utah (USA) Manipulating ultraviolet light presents unique challenges in technology. Here we demonstrate circular polarization selection at ultraviolet wavelengths over subwavelength distances using a flat-optical device consisting 18 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 of Al chiral nanospirals periodically patterned on a glass substrate. P14: 3D toroidal metamaterial on suspended SiN film Z. Liu1 , Shuo Du2 , Z. C. Li2 , S. Q. Chen1 , Junjie Li1 , Changzhi Gu1 1 Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), 2 Nankai University (China) Toroidal metamaterial on suspended SiN film was fabricated by focused ion beam induced bending technique. The SiN film plays the role of framework, while the metal patterns on the vertical SiN flakes comprise the toroidal molecule. Toroidal and magnetic dipole moments can be excited by vertical incident light, which can be distinguished by the current and magnetic field distribution. Compared to horizontally incidence, the resonance here has the same frequency but much larger transmission modulation depth. P15: Ag and Au nanoparticles synthesis with pulsed laser ablation in monomer solution Igor Denisyuk, Natalia Zulina, Il’ya Pavlovets ITMO University (Russia) In this study Ag and Au nanoparticles were obtained with pulsed laser ablation method in liquid substance. As liquid monomer solutions of two different photocurable polymers were picked - carboxyethyl acrylate and isodecyl acrylate. UV-visible spectroscopy and SEM investigation showed that obtained nanoparticles have size distribution from 50 to 200 nm. Also, polymerization process was carried out for nanocomposite synthesis and its biomedical application study. P16: Refractive index sensitivity characteristics of dual-resonant plasmonic perfect absorber Mustafa Turkmen, Sabri Kaya, Semih Korkmaz, Ekin Aslan Erciyes University (Turkey) We proposed a plasmonic perfect absorber (PPA) based on double bowtie shaped plasmonic nanoantenna arrays operating in mid-infrared regime. We investigated the spectral responses and surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) enhancements of nanostructures by using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We studied refractive index sensing characteristics by embedding nanostructures into different cladding media. Owing to the high SEIRA enhancements and strong absorption peaks, designed PPA can be utilized in infrared sensing and high refractive index sensing applications. P17: Disordered plasmonic nanoholes in Ag thin films Kumar R. M. Piragash, Alagesan Venkatesh, V. H. S. Moorthy Manipal University (India) Extraordinary transmission of light through subwalength holes in a metallic thin film offers potential applications in optoelectronic and sensing devices. Here, we present the optical properties of disordered nanoholes in optically thick silver thin films - fabricated by a novel technique. The disordered nanoholes exhibit strongly enhanced broadband optical transmission and highly localized electric fields which find potential applications in photovoltaic and sensing devices respectively. P18: Tailoring Resonances in Hybridized Plasmonic Systems Ashok Kodigala, Thomas Lepetit, Boubacar Kante University of California (USA) We present a plasmon hybridization picture for a system with coupled plasmonic bars and investigate its resonance dynamics by computing the complex poles of the scattering matrix for the purpose of designing better plasmonic devices. P19: Metal-Dielectric Flexible Films for Ultrahigh Transmission Jin-Young Na, Yoon-Jong Moon, Da-Som Kim, Sun-Kyung Kim Kyung Hee University (Korea) We investigated high-tranmittance dielectric-metal-ITO multilayer films for developing high-efficiency GaNbase light-emitting diodes using the scattering matrix method. An optically-thick (10-12 nm) metal layer sandwiched by a dielectric layer and an ITO layer yielded a transmittance of 0.94, which surpasses the maximum transmittance (0.91) of a single ITO film. Further, we investigated the transmission of metal-dielectric films depending on the refractive index and thickness of the dielectric layer. P20: High-Index-Contrast Bubble Patterns for High-Efficiency Light Emitting Devices Yoon-Jong Moon1 , Jin-Young Na1 , Da-Som Kim1 , Dae-Woong Hwang1 , Dukkyu Bae2 , Euijoon Yoon3 , 19 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Sun-Kyung Kim1 Kyung Hee University (Korea), 2 Hexa Solution Co. (Korea), 3 Seoul National University (Korea) 1 Two-dimensional high-index-contrast dielectric gratings exhibit unconventional diffraction features. Here, we demonstrate monolithic growth templates capable of supporting enhanced outcoupling ability for light-emitting devices. Rationally-designed high-index-contrast air bubble patterns lead to intensified strength for the low oreder diffraction modes. Furthermore, we demonstrate a new type of economically viable InGaN/GaN LED devices outperforming state-of-the-art patterned sapphire substrate LED devices. P21: Applying the Otto geometry to access the intrinsic nonlinearity of propagating surface plasmon modes Jan Heckmann1 , Karsten Pufahl1 , Nicolai B. Grosse1 , John E. Sipe2 , Ulrike Woggon1 1 Technical University of Berlin (Germany), 2 University of Toronto (Canada) A high resolution k-space-spectroscopy setup is applied to analyze linear and non-linear surface plasmon resonances that are excited by evanescent fields in the Otto geometry.This non-invasive approach allows a detailed analysis of supported resonances in thin films aswell as in bulk materials. The results are confirmed by theoretical calculations based on thehydrodynamic model. P22: Hole arrays in metal film as distributed feedback plasmonic laser and its dynamics Andrey Pavlov, I. V. Zabkov, V. V. Klimov Dukhov Research Institute of Automatics (VNIIA) (Russia) In this work we have studied lasing characteristics of the array of nanoholes in silver film covered with gain medium. We have analyzed mode structure of the system with and without pump and determined lasing frequencies and non-interacting lasing thresholds for all modes. Varying angle and wavelength of pump field, we have found optimal pump conditions for lasing. Subsequent numerical time domain modeling of laser generation have showed that predicted values for the first lasing mode threshold are accurate. P23: Probing the radiative and full electromagnetic local densities of states through electron energy loss spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy Arthur Losquin1 , Mathieu Kociak2 1 Lund University (Sweden), 2 Laboratoire de Physique des Solides (France) Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS) and CathodoLuminescence spectroscopy (CL) have become popular to study the surface plasmon modes of metallic nanoparticles. By combining EELS and CL on single nanoobjects, we showed that EELS and CL signals differ. Whereas EELS measures a quantity close to the full ElectroMagnetic Local Density Of States (EMLDOS) projected along the electron trajectory, CL measures a quantity close to the radiative EMLDOS projected along the electron trajectory. P24: Surface plasmon generation by light scattering in terminated metallic slabs: interference effects between diffracted light and surface waves Luis Angel Mayoral-Astorga, Jorge Alberto Gaspar-Armenta, Felipe Ramos-Mendieta Universidad de Sonora (Mexico) We use the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method to study the scattering of light at the edge of a metallic terminated slab. The first result is the generation of a surface plasmon polariton. Additionally, interference effects between the surface wave and the diffracted fields are observed. We report the formation of a series of low field intensity spots in the air region above the surface that result from this interference mechanism. P25: Theory and Experiment on Coherent Nanoscopic Light-sources: Spasers vs. Nano-Lasers Gunter Kewes1 , Kathrin Herrmann1 , Andreas Ott2 , Rogelio Rodriguez-Oliveros1 , Alexander Kuhlicke1 , Yan Lu2 , Matthias Ballauff2 , Kurt Busch2 , Oliver Benson2 1 Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin (Germany), 2 Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (Germany) We present experimental as well as theoretical results, which clearly demonstrate that particle-based spasers feature a much poorer performance than expected so far. On the other hand, we suggest that only a renaissance of low loss dielectrics as resonator material (with high index of refraction) will enable ecient nano-lasers. P26: Exploring scattering phenomena at the nano-scale by angle- and polarization-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and imaging 20 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Viktor Myroshnychenko1 , Natsuki Nishio2 , Jens Forstner1 , Naoki Yamamoto2 University of Paderborn (Germany), 2 Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan) 1 We fabricate single and coupled gold nanoprisms using electron beam lithography. Plasmon modes of these structures are investigated using an angle- and polarization - resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) measurements. We demonstrate that an angle- and polarization - resolved CL provides insight into the nature of the plasmon modes in the nanostructures. Our results show that dark modes in bow-tie antennas can be efficiently excited by electron beam and detected by photon detection system. Our experiments are supported by numerical simulations. P27: Metallic nanocylinder metasurfaces for filtering and reflecting properties in the visible spectrum Herve Bertin1 , Yoann Brule2 , Guillaume Demesy2 , Anne-Laure Fehrembach2 , Boris Gralak2 , Evgueni Popov2 , Gerard Tayeb2 , David Barat3 , Philippe Gogol1 , Vi Yam1 , Beatrice Dagens1 1 University Paris-Sud (France), 2 Aix-Marseille University (France), 3 PSA Peugeot Citroen (France) Plasmonic resonance in an array of silver nanoparticles is used to create a transparent reflective filter in the visible range. Transmittance and reflectance are measured from 400 to 900 nm. P28: Tunable optomagnets in diamagnetic thin metal layers and plasmonic nano-antennas Yannick Lefier1 , U. Fischer2 , T. Grosjean1 1 Femto-ST Institute (France), 2 Interface physics (Germany) We study the optical generation and tuning of highly confined DC magnetic fields directly in metals. We first predict the transfer of orbital angular moment of light to the free electrons of thin metal layers excited with tightly focused beams (leading to tiny loops of DC current). We also show that plasmonic nano-antennas can be magnetized by light and we study how the plasmonic resonances in play can enhance and control the optically induced magnetization. P29: Smith-Purcell radiation emission by non-periodic array nanostructures Jose Ramon Martinez-Saavedra, David Castells, Javier Garcia de Abajo ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain) In this work we study the possibility of SPR emission from non-periodic array structures: we analyze the necessary conditions for Smith-Purcell emission by arbitrary arrays which present long-range order, with focus on quasiperiodic and hyperuniform configurations, and compare them with the periodic array case. We conclude that SPR can appear not only in periodic structures but also in non-periodic structures as well, in the case the non-periodic structure presents long-range order properties. P30: Foerster resonance energy transfer in inhomogeneous non-dispersive nanophotonic environments Martijn Wubs1 , Willem L. Vos2 1 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark), 2 University of Twente (The Netherlands) A nondispersive inhomogeneous dielectric environment of a donor-acceptor pair of quantum emitters affects their Foerster resonance energy transfer (FRET) rate. We find that this rate does not depend on the emission frequency and hence not on the local optical density of states (LDOS) at that frequency, but that it can be expressed as a broad frequency integral over the optical LDOS. Our numerical results illustrate that even with the broadband LDOS it is hard to control the FRET rate. P31: Optical Multiple Bistability in Metal-Insulator-Metal Plasmonic Waveguides Side-coupled with Twin Resonators Ruei-Cheng Shiu, Yung-Chiang Lan, Guang-Yu Guo National Taiwan University (Taiwan) We investigate the resonant transmissions surface plasmons that propagate in a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide side-coupled to two MIM racetrack resonators in which optical third-order nonlinear material is filled, by the coupling mode analyses and finite-difference time-domain simulations. We find the multiple bistabilities and the hysteresis phenomena in the transmission coefficient as the input intensity varies. Furthermore, the mode conversion between the bistable states can be controlled by varying the input-gate intensity with a short switching time. P32: Plasmonic magneto-optical light modulator with the domain wall manipulation via giant magnetoelectric effect 21 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Nikolai Evgen’evich Khokhlov, Anastasiya Khramova, Elena Nikolaeva, Tatiana Kosykh, Alexey Nikolaev, Alexander Pyatakov, Vladimir Belotelov M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia) We consider a new method of light modulation via the magneto-optical effects in magneto-plasmonic crystals. The modulation of the structure’s magnetization in this case is induced by the electric field of the charged tip. So, the variations of the voltage on the needle produce the shift of a domain wall in the magnetic film due to the magnetoelectric effect and local magnetization switching. P33: Induced modulation instability of surface plasmon polaritons in an ultra-thin metal film Sergey Moiseev1 , D. Korobko1 , I. Zolotovskii1 , S. Sukhov2 1 Ulyanovsk State University (Russia), 2 Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia) The effect of the modulation instability of surface plasmon polariton waves in an ultra-thin metal film is demonstrated. It is shown that the modulation instability effect could be used for the generation of signals with a repetition rate in the terahertz range and ultrafast trains of picosecond optical pulses. P34: Luminescence upconversion of Er3+ doped tellurite glass through subwavelengh metallic nanostructures Otavio Brito Silva, Victor Antony Garcia Riveira, Sebastiao Pratavieira, Euclydes Marega Junior University of Sao Paulo (Brazil) This manuscript addresses the upconversion excitation and emission obtained from an Er3+-doped tellurite glass through nanostructured metallic surfaces consisting of a square lattice of subwavelengh slits fabricated on a gold thin film. The periodic nanostructures were fabricated with a Focused Gallium Ion Beam on a gold thin film deposited onto an Er3+-doped tellurite glass. The Er3+ ion was excited using 980nm and the luminescence spectra measured at the far-field (in the 400-700 nm wavelength range). P35: Coherent and non-coherent interactions between quantum emitters induced by plasmonic hot spots Jun Ren, Xiangdong Zhang Beijing Institute of Technology (China) The theoretical method to study strong interactions between an ensemble of quantum emitters mediated by plasmonic nanoparticle cluster has been presented by using a rigorous first-principles electromagnetic Green’s tensor technique. We find that strong coherent and non-coherent interactions could be observed in the same plasmonic hot spots system under different frequencies. These two interactions could lead to multifrequency multi-qubit entanglement and coherent energy transfer between emitters respectively in the hot spot systems. P36: Study of Surface Plasmons in 1D and 2D Structured Metallic Surfaces Raul Garcia-Llamas1 , Sandra Luz Gastelum-Acuna1 , Damasio Morales-Cruz2 , Aldo Santiago RamirezDuverger1 1 University of Sonora (Mexico), 2 National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico (Mexico) The one-dimensional (1D) structures were fabricated by means of the two-beam interference technique. The surfaces were covered with an aluminum thick film. Transverse magnetic reflection spectra were measured for metallic gratings. The experimental spectra exhibited a minimum due to the excitation of surface plasmons, which was coupled by light via the gratings. The experimental results are compared with Rayleigh theory. P37: Optical spin-orbit interaction in plasmonic structures Feng Lin Peking University (China) Au nanostructures can be fabricated to intentionally guide the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), which leads to the varying of propagating directions for the SPP beams, and thus generates the orbital angular momentum (AM) of SPPs. Here, we investigated the coupling of such plasmonic orbital AM with optical spin AM, and found that the chiral characteristics of Au nanostructures impose great effects on the electromagnetic modes of SPPs under this spin-orbit interactions. P38: Resonance Coupling between Excitons and Magnetic Dipole Resonances in Hybrid Nanostructure Composed of J-Aggregate and Dielectric Nanoparticle Hao Wang, Huanjun Chen 22 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Sun Yat-sen University (China) We investigated theoretically and experimentally the resonance coupling between the magnetic dipole resonances of silicon nanospheres and molecular excitons. By coating the silicon nanosphere with a dye molecule layer, we demonstrated that hybrid states were induced around the magnetic dipole resonance mode due to magnetic field mediated Fano-type energy transfer. We further observed a Rabi splitting of 100 meV by spin coating the silicon nanospheres with J-aggregates (TDBC). P39: Broadband absorption enhancement in ZnTe nanowire intermediate solar cells with plasmonic bowtie antennas Kuiying Nie, Fangfang Ren, Jing Li, Jiandong Ye, Kun Tang, Shulin Gu, Rong Zhang, Youdou Zheng Nanjing University (China) A plasmonic bowtie antenna design is investigated numerically to enhance a broad spectral absorption of zinc telluride (ZnTe)/zinc oxide (ZnO) core/shell single nanowire intermediate solar cells. Compared to a single-bowtie antenna, triple-bowtie antennas demonstrate much higher absorption enhancement in multiple spectra regimes, especially in 680nm, which is corresponding to the intermediate level of ZnTe:O materials. It provides a promising approach to improve the poor absorption of low-energy photons and improve the conversion efficiency of single nanowire solar cells. P40: Two Equivalent Circuit Models for Double Concentric Squares Artificial Magnetic Conductor Mohamad Mantash, Anne-Claude Tarot University of Rennes 1 (France) Two equivalent circuit models to estimate the resonant frequency and reflection coefficient phase of double concentric square Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) are proposed. The AMC is composed of an array of square surrounded by a loop printed on grounded dielectric substrate without vias. This approach is based on the Transmission Line Model for waves normally incident on the structure. The proposed models are validated via a comparison between measurements and simulations results for different samples and a parametric study. P41: Plasmonic Analogue of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Side Coupled cavities to a MIM Waveguide Adnane Noual1 , Ossama El Abouti1 , El Houssaine El Boudouti1 , Abdellatif Akjouj2 , Yan Pennec2 , Bahram Djafari-Rouhani2 1 Universite Mohamed Premier (Morocco), 2 Universite de Lille 1 (France) We investigate numerically the classical analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency in a plasmonic structure constituted by two side-coupled cavities. Two configurations are considered: i) cavities connected symmetrically on each side of the waveguide, ii) cavities situated on the same side. In the first case the EIT resonance occurs as a consequence of the destructive interference between the two cavities, whereas in the second situation the phenomenon arises due to coupling between dark and radiative resonators. P42: Complete Picture of Dispersion Relation for Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Layered Media H. S. Tetikol, M. I. Aksun Koc University (Turkey) We show that both the wavevector and the frequency of surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) can simultaneously assume complex values, providing better resolution and confinement than previously thought. As an example, we analyze SPPs in layered media and ascertain the true nature of their dispersion. We prove that a dispersion curve constitutes only a subset of the solutions to the dispersion equation, and the entire solution set can be represented as a surface in the complex frequency-wavevector domain. P43: Blackbody Metamaterial Composite film of Nanoparticle and Polymer Kotaro Kajikawa, Hisashi Karube Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan) We studied blackbody metamaterial composite-films of metallic nanoparticles and polymer. Reflectance, transmittance and absorption of the film are calculated on the basis of the Mie theory and Clausius Mossottii relation. We also fabricated the composite metamaterials in which gold nanoparticles are dispersed in a polyvinylpyrrolidone film. The experimental results are almost in agreement with the calculated spectra. P44: Tungsten disulfide nanotubes decorated with gold nanoparticles as electrochemical electrodes 23 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 with improved response Filip Ligmajer1 , Lukas Kejik1 , Ales Danhel2 , Miroslav Kolibal1 , Miroslav Fojta2 , Tomas Sikola1 1 Brno University of Technology (Czech Republic), 2 Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic (Czech Republic) Combination of plasmonic and electrochemical pathways in both analytical and technological applications could provide many advantages arising from the interplay between electrons and photons. Here, we demonstrate how properties of transparent electrochemical electrodes improve with increasing coverage of tungsten disulfide nanotubes and how decoration of these nanotubes with plasmonic nanoparticles influences the main parameters of resulting electrodes. Our results are relevant to plasmon-enhanced electrochemistry of transition-metal dichalcogenides and also to other systems where light interacts with chemical currents. P45: Numerical simulations of signal acquisition in aperture SNOM Martin Hrton, Petr Dvorak, Tomas Samoril, Filip Ligmajer, Tomas Sikola Brno University of Technology (Czech Republic) Using FDTD simulations combined with analytical calculations, the signal acquisition process in aperture SNOM has been studied. The emphasis was placed on the role of individual electric field components in the image formation. The results show that although the transmission through the aperture can be tuned to selectively favor one of these components, the resulting sensitivity is eventually determined by the efficiency of their coupling to the loss-less guided modes of the tip. P46: Spectroscopic measurements of near-field interference patterns by a-SNOM Zoltan Edes, Petr Dvorak, Michal Kvapil, Tomas Samoril, Filip Ligmajer, Martin Hrton, Vlastimil Krapek, Radek Kalousek, Petr Dub, Peter Varga, Tomas Sikola Brno University of Technology (Czech Republic) Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in combination with interference structures is a powerful tool for imaging and analysis of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). In this article we address how the wavelength and polarization state of illumination influence SPPs interference patterns measured by aperture-SNOM. Using the SNOM setup equipped with a supercontinuum laser and utilizing numerical simulations, we identified the role of individual near-field components in formation of SNOM images. P47: Frequency comb generation in a time-dependent graphene ribbon lattice Galaad Altares Menendez, Bjorn Maes University of Mons (Belgium) Recently, frequency comb generation using modulated planar graphene sheets was introduced. Here we show that this process is more efficient in a graphene ribbon lattice than in a planar structure. To do so we exploit the plasmonic resonances of the lattice, which are very sensitive to the graphene doping level. By dynamically changing this doping the transmission becomes time-dependent and allows for effective frequency comb generation in the infrared range. P48: Novel Hybrid Silicon Plasmonic Modulator Elsayed Sherif 1 , Lamees Shahada1 , Aya Zaki2 , Mohamed Swillam2 1 Qatar University (Qatar), 2 The American University in Cairo (Egypt) In order to match the increasingly demands of telecommunication technology, fast, compact optical modulators are needed. Thereby, we propose a hybrid silicon plasmonic modulator based on the ring resonator configuration. The modulator is operational at the telecom wavelength, and its compact design allows it to be used for integrated photonics purposes. P49: Long Range Plasmonic Waveguide Using Doped Silicon in Mid-Infrared Raghi El Shamy, Hany Mossad, Mohamed Swillam The American University in Cairo (Egypt) The modal analysis of CMOS compatible hybrid plasmonic waveguide in the mid-infrared region (4-6um) using doped silicon is introduced. Manipulating the design parameters of the waveguide such as the thickness of the doped silicon layer and the nearby sapphire layers can effectively change the propagation length and the mode confinement. The simulation results show that a propagation length of 220um can be achieved at wavelength 6mm. P50: Hybrid silicon organic directional coupler based modulator 24 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Mohamed Youssef Abdelatty, Aya Zaki, Mohamed Swillam The American University in Cairo (Egypt) An optical directional coupler (ODC) based on silicon-on-insulator waveguide is designed and demonstrated, with a power-splitting mechanism that can be tuned with applying the external electric field. The tuning mechanism takes the advantage of changing the refractive index of polymer when applying external electric field. The ODC operates under 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength. A finite difference time domain method with perfect matching layer (PML) absorbing boundary condition is taken up to simulate and analyze the ODC. P51: Incorporation of graphene as the hole transfer layer for quantum dot light emitting diode Jing Chen, Jiangyong Pan, Yuning Zhang, Qianqian Huang, Wei Lei Southeast University (China) We report a color-saturated, red quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) using graphene oxide doped PEDOT: PSS as the hole injection layer (HTL) to optimize the band offset between the HTL and emitting layers. The QLEDs show a maximum luminance of up to 4200 cd/m2, corresponding to 7.5 lm/W in power efficiency and turn on voltage of 1.6 V. P52: Synthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles and their Application in Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes Jiangyong Pan, Jing Chen, Qianqian Huang, Wei Lei Southeast University (China) In this paper, the ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) has been synthesized by sol-gel method and used as electron transport layer (ETL) in quantum dot light emitting diode (QLED). The effect of solvent types and film thickness of ZnO NPs on QLED performance has been studied. It has been found that the best solvent and thickness of ZnO NPs is butanol and 35 nm respectively. 11:00 - 12:45 — Malaga Session 1A2 SP1.

Here we describe the roles that transition metal nitrides and the transparent conducting oxides play in developing practical nanophotonic systems for real-life applications such as thermal photovoltaics, waveguiding, and data manipulation. 11:30 : Invited talk Reconfigurable THz metamaterials based on nematic liquid crystals Dimitrios C. Zografopoulos1 , Goran Isic2 , Borislav Vasic2 , Rados Gajic2 , Romeo Beccherelli1 1 Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy), 2 University of Belgrade (Serbia) Novel liquid-crystal tunable metamaterial devices for terahertz wave manipulation are designed and investigated. Deeply subwavelength layers of nematic materials are introduced in metal-insulator-metal cavities, leading to strong interaction of the THz wave with the liquid crystal anisotropy. The enhanced response in the liquid-crystal layer yields extensive tunability of the electromagnetic resonances with fast response times in the millisecond range. Three specific components are targeted: a fishnet metamaterial with tunable effective refractive index, a tunable absorber, and a polarization controller. 25 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 11:50 : Invited talk Quantum Hydrodynamic Theory of Second-Harmonic Generation Cristian Ciraci Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) (Italy) We introduce a method based on the quantum hydrodynamic theory or the study of second-harmonic generation, which includes nonlocal and nonlinear contributions of the kinetic energy and a quantum-like description of the electron density at the surface. This method is suitable for studying nonlinear optical process in nanometer-gap plasmonic structures. 12:10 : Invited talk Anomalous spectral shifts in plasmonic nano-cavities Angela Demetriadou1 , Anna Lombardi2 , Jan Mertens2 , Ortwin Hess1 , Jeremy J. Baumberg2 , Javier Aizpurua3 1 Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 2 University of Cambridge (United Kingdom), 3 Centro de Fisica de Materiales (Spain) Nanoplasmonics have the ability to confine light in extremely small nano-cavities. We show using a theoretical model, numerical calculations and measurements that for these tightly-coupled nanoplasmonic structures, the correlation between the field enhancement (near-field) resonance and the radiative (far-field) resonance breaks down. This dissociation is determined by the nanocavity’s geometry. The anomalous behaviour of plasmonic nanocavities is of significant importance for active and quantum plasmonics, where extreme nanocavities are essential to observe strong coupling. 12:30 : Antenna enhanced third order nonlinear response of an epsilon-near-zero medium Mohammad Z. Alam, S. Schulz, J. Upham, I. De Leon, R. W. Boyd University of Ottawa (Canada) We demonstrate experimentally that the linear optical response of a plasmonic dipole antenna array is significantly modified when placed on a thin epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material. Moreover, the strong interaction between the dipole antenna array and the ENZ material results in a broadband (>500 nm) nonlinear metamaterial with n-2 values up to eight orders of magnitude larger than that of silica glass. 11:00 - 12:50 — Ronda Session 1A3 SP25.

Synthetic gauge fields induced by magneto-electric coupling give rise to spin-polarized edge states with linear and conical Dirac dispersion in 2D and surface states in 3D systems, respectively. The ability to control and reconfigure gauge fields in these platforms enables reflectionless routing of electromagnetic states along arbitrarily shaped pathways. 11:20 : Invited talk Pseudospin-mediated phenomena in photonic graphene Zhigang Chen San Francisco State University (USA) We report on pseudospin-mediated phenomena in photonic graphene, including topological charge flipping 26 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 due to selective excitation associated with sublattice and valley degrees of freedom, as well as AharonovBohm-like interferences due to deformation of honeycomb lattices. 11:40 : Keynote talk Topologically Non-Trivial States in Photonic Crystals Marin Soljacic MIT (USA) Topologically non-trivial photonic states will be surveyed.

Rechtsman2 1 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 2 The Pennsylvania State University (USA) This talk describes a class of photonic Floquet topological insulators based on staggered helical lattices, which exhibits anomalous Floquet topological insulator phases and an easily controllable topological transition between trivial and nontrivial phases. At the critical point of the topological transition, the bandstructure features a single unpaired Dirac cone, which yields a variety of unusual transport effects never previously observed, including weak antilocalization not limited by short-range disorder. Possible applications for controlling and switching topological photonic states are discussed. 12:30 : Invited talk Topological Properties of Quasicrystals: A Scattering Analysis Eli Eliyahu Levy1 , Assaf Barak2 , Amnon Fisher1 , Eric Akkermans1 1 Technion (Israel), 2 Rafael Ltd (Israel) We present a study of topological properties of dielectric Fibonacci quasicrystals. Chern numbers which label the dense set of spectral gaps correspond to an underlying palindromic symmetry. These spectral topological features are related to the two independent phases of the scattering matrix. Conveniently designed gap modes allow to directly measure these Chern numbers via spectroscopy. Existing experimental realizations will be addressed, and results will be shown which extend beyond the dielectric Fibonacci sequence. 11:00 - 12:40 — Nerja Session 1A4 Symposium: Hybrid Plasmonics and Functional Nanomaterials Organized by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov Chaired by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov 11:00 : Invited talk 3D DNA Plasmonics Maximilian Julius Urban, Na Liu Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (Germany) Deterministic placement and dynamic manipulation of individual plasmonic nanoparticles with nanoscale precision feature an important step towards active nanoplasmonic devices with prescribed levels of performance and functionalities at optical frequencies.

Their sub-wavelength size means that their structural properties must be controlled at the nanometer scale to successfully engineer their optical responses. DNA has recently emerged as the building material of choice to mass-produce plasmonic resonators with controlled geometries and chemical environments, allowing their reproducible coupling to single quantum emitters and the dynamic modulation of their photonic properties. 11:40 : Invited talk Nanoscale surface chemistry directs the tunable assembly of silver octahedra into three two-dimensional plasmonic superlattices Yih Hong Lee1 , Wenxiong Shi1 , Ruibin Jiang2 , Jianfang Wang2 , Shuzhou Li1 , Xing Yi Ling1 1 Nanyang Technology University (Singapore), 2 The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong) A major challenge in nanoparticle self-assembly is programming the large-area organization of a single type of anisotropic nanoparticle into distinct superlattices with tunable packing efficiencies. Here we utilize nanoscale surface chemistry to direct the self-assembly of silver octahedra into three distinct two-dimensional plasmonic superlattices at a liquid/liquid interface. 12:00 : Invited talk Electrochemical control of plasmonic nanomaterial surface chemistry Christy Landes Rice University (USA) Novel chemical and physical processes occur at nanoparticle surfaces, both aided and reported by the broad tunability of their plasmonic properties. Electrochemical tuning is one way to control both plasmon resonance shifts and underlying morphology, composition, and surface chemistry. We report electrochemical redox tuning of metallic nanoparticles. Weelectrodeposit silver and/or its salts on the surface of gold nanostructures and selectively grow silver metal on the surface of these structures.

In this study, we demonstrate the ability to generate large numbers of hot plasmonic carriers in specially-designed hybrid nanostructures with hot spots. Overall, nanostructures with small sizes or with hot spots can create unusually large numbers of energetic electrons that can be observed using ultra-fast spectroscopy or in photo-chemical experiments. 11:20 : Invited talk Nonlinear plasmonics: confinement effect, delocalization and ultrafast responses Sviatlana Viarbitskaya1 , Olivier Demichel1 , Upkar Kumar2 , Regis Mejard1 , Aurelien Cuche2 , Gerard Colas des Francs1 , Christian Girard2 , Benoit Cluzel1 , Erik Dujardin2 , Alexandre Bouhelier1 1 Universite Bourgogne Franche-Comte (France), 2 Universite Federale de Toulouse (France) In this presentation we address a series of fundamental issues that are emerging with the fast growing field of nonlinear plasmonics. Specifically, we will discuss the field sensitivities of high order nonlinearities and address the ultrafast dynamics of photo-generated hot carriers. We will show that the nonlinearities are not restricted to the excitation spot but may be distributed through the plasmonic landscape. We will discuss possible applications and electrical control of the nonlinear mechanisms. 11:40 : Invited talk Impact of analyte molecule distribution on the SERS efficiency of nanoplasmonic assemblies: a fullwave simulation study Diego M. Solis1 , Jose M. Taboada2 , Fernando Obelleiro1 , Luis M. Liz-Marzan3 , Francisco J Garcia de Abajo4 1 University of Vigo (Spain), 2 University of Extremadura (Spain), 3 CIC biomaGUNE (Spain), 4 ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain) 29 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 The SERS (surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy) performance of plasmonic colloidal depositions is to a great extent determined by the distribution of the analyte molecules that attach to the nanoparticles’ surface. We herein investigate this effect by considering a high-density monolayer of gold nanospheres (GNP’s) and compare the SERS enhancement yielded by two different models of analyte distribution through full-wave numerical simulations. These are done with the aid of an accelerated surface integral equation method, extremely powerful for large-scale electromagnetic problems. 12:00 : Invited talk Observation of plasmon wave packet motions with ultrafast near-field microscopy Hiromi Okamoto1 , Yoshio Nishiyama2 , Kohei Imura3 1 The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (Japan), 2 Institute for Molecular Science (Japan), 3 Waseda University (Japan) An aperture-type scanning near-field optical microscope was combined with ultrafast measurement system and achieved delivery of 15-fs optical pulses at the probe tip, which enables direct space-time domain observation of plasmon dynamics in gold nanostructures. With this apparatus, we studied plasmon wave packet dynamics in gold nanorods. On coherent multi-mode excitation with the ultrashort pulses, we found characteristic time-dependent features of near-field pump-probe images, which reflected wave packet propagation in the nanorod. 12:20 : Invited talk Optical Control of Electron Tunneling in Plasmonic Nanoantennas via Single-Cycle Pulses Daniele Brida, Tobias Rybka, Alfred Leitenstorfer University of Konstanz (Germany) We exploit the electric field of near-infrared 1.4-cycle pulses with picojoule-level energy to drive tunneling of electrons across the 8 nm gap of a gold nanoantenna circuit at 80 MHz repetition rate. The control of the carrier-envelope phase of the pulses allows us to manipulate ultrafast single-electron currents in direction and amplitude at room temperature. 11:00 - 12:40 — Estepona Session 1A7 SP7. Current Advances in Electromagnetics of Metal and HRI dielectric nanostructures Organized by: Jose A. Sanchez-Gil, Francisco Gonzalez and Fernando Moreno Chaired by: Jose A. Sanchez-Gil, Francisco Gonzalez and Fernando Moreno 11:00 : Invited talk Tunable Negative Nano Composites for Low Frequency Metamaterials Carlos Pecharroman, Lucia Fernandez, Miguel Morales, Celia Mallada, Jose Luis Menendez CSIC (Spain) Negative and zero permittivity nanostructure composites have been obtained on a broad frequency domain. Additionally, it has been found that the effective dielectric constant can be modified by the application of a magnetic field. At low frequencies, these materials present a close resemblance to plasmonics. Additionally, effective dielectric losses can be suppressed by the introduction of some passive electric elements. In this regard, this kind of devices can be used in applications such as new electric passive elements. 11:20 : Invited talk Optical spectroscopy of individual nano-objects in correlation with electron microscopy imaging: plasmon interferences in strongly coupled systems Emmanuel Cottancin University Lyon 1 (France) The LSPR and the morphology of individual metallic dimers have been investigated. In cubic dimers, the 30 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 gap morphology is of crucial importance for very short interparticle distances. Besides the redshift of the resonance with decreasing interparticle distance, we observed a clear anti-resonance dip in the main dipolar LSPR which can be viewed as a Fano resonance due to the coupling between the broad dipolar resonance of the dimer with gap plasmon modes confined in the interparticle zone. 11:40 : Invited talk Studying Individual Nanostructures using Light Tailored at the Nanoscale Peter Banzer, Gerd Leuchs Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany) We review recent work aimed at the utilization of complex electromagnetic field landscapes as versatile tools for the experimental study of the optical properties of individual dielectric and metallic nanostructures. 12:00 : Invited talk Metallo-dielectric sensor: toward zeptogram-scale colorimetric sensing Julien Proust, Jerome Martin, Davy Gerard, Jean-Louis Bijeon, Jerome Plain Universite de Technologie de Troyes (France) We report on the fabrication of plasmonic hybrid sensors made of a micro-axicon dielectric lens and a single metallic nanoparticle. The Bessel-like beam generated through the axicon-lens can be used to optimize efficiently the excitation of a plasmonic nano-object and the collection of its far-field. This hybrid structure using the optical properties of a single metallic nanoparticle can act as a highly sensitive nanosensor. 12:20 : Invited talk Discontinuous Galerkin Methods in Nano-Photonics Kurt Busch Humboldt University (Germany) An overview of the recent progress in applying the Discontinuous Galerkin Finite-Element Time-Domain approach to nano-plasmonic systems including the development of advanced material models is provided. 11:00 - 12:20 — Benalmadena Session 1A8 SP3.

We show, that possibility of variation of graphene’s conductivity by electrostatic gating allows to make the parameters of such structures (like exceptional point positions, reflectivity, spectrum, etc.) to be dynamically tunable. 11:20 : Invited talk Field concentration by local PT-symmetry and global P-symmetry Waqas Wasseem Ahmed1 , Muriel Botey1 , Ramon Herrero1 , Kestutis Staliunas2 1 Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Spain), 2 Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (Spain) We propose a new class of systems holding PT-symmetry only locally, whereas on a global scale the system is only Parity symmetric and explore suchnew potentials in one- and two- dimensional complex nanophotonic structures. Such systems lead to a strong field localization at the P-symmetry center, arising from the merge of the two different symmetries. 31 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 11:40 : Invited talk Parity-Time Symmetry in Organic Thin Films and Waveguides Noel C. Giebink The Pennsylvania State University (USA) We demonstrate organic thin films and waveguides that exhibit passive parity-time (PT) symmetry by modulating their refractive index in the form of a complex exponential function. The resulting films and waveguides exhibit strong asymmetry in their reflectivity that maximizes when the real and imaginary components of the index modulation are balanced, marking an exceptional point transition to the broken PT phase. Progress toward active PT symmetry incorporating laser dyes to achieve balanced gain and loss will be discussed. 12:00 : Invited talk Conserved Quantities and Phase Locking in PT-symmetric Lattices A. K. Harter, F. A. Onanga, Yogesh N. Joglekar Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (USA) Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians that are invariant under combined operations of parity and time-reversal (PT) faithfully described propagation of light in the presence of balanced gain and loss. Due to the non-unitary nature of such time evolution, the net intensity of light in such a system is not constant with time. Motivated by the early attempts to develop a unitary theory for such Hamiltonians, we present conserved quantities in PT-symmetric systems that are determined by the wave-function or electric field amplitudes and phases. 11:00 - 12:40 — Mijas Session 1A9 SP14.

The theory shows that the interdistance between the sources is encoded in intensity fluctuations, and provides design rules for the control of the degree of quantum coherence of the emitted light. In particular, we derive generalized conditions to generate superradiant and subradiant states of the emitters. These results should find applications in quantum nanophotonics, and in sensing in complex media. 11:20 : Invited talk Light Emission Statistics as a Local Probe for Structural Phase Switching Nuno de Sousa1 , Juan Jose Saenz2 , Frank Scheffold3 , Antonio Garcia-Martin4 , Luis Froufe-Perez3 1 Autonomous University of Madrid (Spain), 2 Donostia International Physics Center (Spain), 3 University of Fribourg (Switzerland), 4 Instituto de Microelectronica de Madrid - CSIC (Spain) In this work we show that the statistics of emission rates in correlated disordered media is extremely sensitive to the details of the radial distribution function around the emitter. We analyze the emission statistics for single emitter embedded in a finite cluster of resonant particles during a solid-liquid phase transition. At melting temperature, the system total scattering cross section does not present significant differences between the two phases while the emission rate jumps following the system dynamics. 11:40 : Invited talk Transport and emission in in colloidal and granular systems Cefe Lopez 32 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas CSIC (Spain) Self-assembling monodisperse colloidal particles has served to random lasers resonant but the scattering properties of the passive part of the systems were hard to account for. Further complication is brought about if, in addition, disorder is manipulated introducing correlations. When polydisperse granular systems are used instead it is possible to separate the gain and feedback functions by physically separating the responsible materials. 12:00 : Invited talk Chiral Light-Matter Interaction Peter Lodhal Niels Bohr Institute (Denmark) We review the physics of waveguide QED, notably recent progress on photonic-crystal waveguides containing single quantum emitters.

(Germany) Extending planar two-dimensional structures into the three-dimensional space has become a general trend in electronics, photonics, plasmonics and magnetics. In magnetism, a consequence of the curvilinear geometry is the appearance of novel curvature-driven effects including magnetochiral effects and topologically induced 33 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 magnetization patterning, resulting in theoretically predicted unlimited domain wall velocities, chirality symmetry breaking and Cherenkov-like effects for magnons.

Furthermore, coupling of cavities to embedded emitters has allowed augmented emission and extraction efficiencies. New opportunities and challenges for cavity-emitter coupling have arisen with point-defect emitters in materials such as diamond and silicon carbide (SiC). This talk will focus on the particular challenges in matching cavities to these emitters, as well as demonstrations of high quality cavities and cavity-emitter coupling. 11:20 : Invited talk Highly efficient high-speed thermal emitters based on quantum wells and photonic crystals Takuya Inoue, Takashi Asano, Menaka D. Zoysa, Susumu Noda Kyoto University (Japan) We demonstrate the drastic improvement of power utilization efficiency and modulation speed of thermal emitters, by utilizing intersubband transitions in multiple quantum wells and optical resonances in photonic crystal slabs. We realize a high-Q (>100) thermal emission peak whose intensity at a given input power is an order of magnitude higher than that of a reference blackbody emitter. We also demonstrate high-speed ( MHz) switching of thermal emission intensity, linewidth, and wavelength via electrical control of emissivity. 11:40 : Optimization of silicon slot waveguide micro-ring resonator cavities Weiwei Zhang, Samuel Serna, Xavier Le Roux, Carlos Alonso-Ramos, Laurent Vivien, Eric Cassan Universite Paris Sud (France) We report our recent results on the development of optimized silicon vertical slot micro-resonators, demonstrating remarkably low propagation loss. We discuss on optical loss mechanisms in such resonators, with a special focus on the coupler loss contribution that turns out to be the key obstacle to achieve high Q-factors. We show ten-fold loaded Q-factor improvement, achieved by engineering the coupler region. 11:55 : 2D photonic crystal-based double switch-divider Victor Dmitriev, Leno Martins Federal University of Para (Brazil) We propose and investigate a new multifunctional component. It consists of a T-junction of three waveguides in 2D photonic crystal with square lattice. This component can fulfil three functions: switch OFF the two output ports, switch ON any one of the two output ports. and 3 dB division of the input power. The changing of the regime is achieved by DC magnetic field which magnetizes a cylindrical ferrite resonator. 12:10 : Magneto-optical nonreciprocity of the waveguide modes in one-dimensional magnetophotonic crystals Dariya Sylgacheva1 , Nikolai Evgen’evich Khokhlov1 , Andrey Kalish1 , Anatoliy Prokopov2 , Alexander Shaposhnikov2 , Vladimir Berzhansky2 , Mohammad Nur-E-Alam3 , Mikhail Vasiliev3 , Kamal Alameh3 , Sarkis Dagesyan1 , Vladimir Belotelov1 1 M.V.

Two nanoantennas are placed at both ends of a bent subwavelength gap-plasmon waveguide avoiding spoiling background effects in nano-antenna addressing. Our aim is to reach new nano-optical functionalities in ultracompact optical devices such as remote (background free) excitation of nano-antennas and directional addressing in nano-antenna networks, etc. 11:15 : Optically-controlled local plasmonic nanosoldering of silver nanowires Qiang Li, Guoping Liu, Hangbo Yang, Wei Wang, Si Luo, Shuowei Dai, Min Qiu Zhejiang University (China) An optically-controlled local plasmonic nanosoldering technique is proposed and demonstrated. By exploiting the strong photothermal effect in metal nanostructures, this soldering technique ensures the nanostructures to be bonded while their original structural integrity is retained. Typical elemental devices (V-shaped and T-shaped nanostructures) are formed with this nanosoldering technique.

The smaller is the distance between two particles the greater is the degree of hybridization of the system. Ultra-strong coupling then, can be achieved in sub-nanometer gap systems. In this context, the nonlocal character of the free-electron response becomes critical.

Sanchez-Gil, Francisco Gonzalez and Fernando Moreno 14:00 : Keynote talk Selected problems of light scattering by dielectric nanostructures Boris Luk’yanchuk, Ramon Paniagua-Dominguez, A. Kuznetsov A*STAR (Singapore) Light scattering from structures with high refractive index may produce strong, opticallyinducedelectric and magnetic resonances. This allows controlling many characteristics of the scatteredlight, including its scattering diagram, intensity distribution and light polarization. As a consequence,it is possible to realize interference effects such as Kerker and Fano resonances, formation of opticalvortices and excitation of anapole modes. In this presentation we illustrate some of these effects withthe help of exact solutions in the Mie theory. 14:30 : Invited talk Dielectric nanoantennas as a new way to enhance and direct scattered light with minimal losses Pablo Albella, Toshihiko Shibanuma, Stefan A. Maier Imperial College London (United Kingdom) Plasmonic nanostructures enable control of light at subwavelength scale. However, losses are inevitable, especially at optical wavelengths. High-refractive index dielectrics show strong promise as a complementary nanophotonics platform. Dielectric nanostructures are able to show not only electric but also magnetic resonances, both with low-losses. Here, we present asymmetric-dimers of dielectric nanoparticles that exploit the interaction of those resonances to show tunable directional scattering. We also explore its application as tuneable routing element at nanoscale, suggesting applications like optical nanocircuitry. 14:50 : Invited talk Localized magnetic plasmons in all-dielectric structures Ramon Paniagua-Dominguez1 , Luis S.

The effective magnetic permeability of such an ensemble is negative in a given fequency range, while the effective dielectric permittivity is possitive and small. Localized magnetic plasmon resonances can be excited in a metasphere made of such metamaterial. 15:10 : Invited talk Polarization singularities on high index nanoparticles Aitzol Garcia-Etxarri Donostia International Physics Center (Spain) We study the emergence of polarization singularities in the scattered fields of optical resonators excited by linearly polarized plane waves.

Hence, these lattices have unidirectional edgestates that are topologically protectedagainst backscattering as they pass through defects or around corners. We find that the fractal-likespectrum of the quasicrystal is endowed with topological band gaps at all energy scales manifestingan entirely new physics phenomenon. These new fractal topological aspects lay the groundwork fornew conceptual ideas involving topological phases in quasicrystals. 14:20 : Invited talk Metamaterial structures to realize real-space gauge-field Fu Liu, Jensen Li University of Birmingham (United Kingdom) By using metamaterials to mimic a pseudo gauge field and pseudo magnetic field to bend light, we can achieve optical spin Hall effect, one-way topological edge states, which will be useful in spin-dependent and spoof-magneto optics. In this talk, we will discuss the underlying metamaterial structures to realize such a gauge field. Reduced parameter approximation is established as a useful tool to simplify experiments without employing magnetic responses. 14:40 : Invited talk Synthetic dimensions in multi-mode ring-resonator arrays Tomoki Ozawa1 , Hannah M. Price1 , Nathan Goldman2 , Oded Zilberberg3 , Iacopo Carusotto1 1 University of Trento (Italy), 2 Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), 3 ETH Zurich (Switzerland) We propose a method to produce synthetic dimensions in arrays of multi-mode ring-resonators. This method allows one to use d-dimensional arrays of resonators to simulate (d+1)-dimensional lattice models with synthetic magnetic fields. Applying the method to one-dimensional array of resonators, we show that such a structure can be used as an optical isolator. Applying the method to three-dimensional lattices of resonators, we show that the system exhibits the four-dimensional quantum Hall effect. 40 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 15:00 : Invited talk Weyl Points and Topological Notions in Electromagnetic Waves Wenjie Chen, Meng Xiao, Wen-Yu He, Z. Q. Zhang, C. T. Chan The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong) We designed, fabricated and experimentally characterized a Weyl photonic crystal with both single and double Weyl points. Nontrivial 2D bulk band gaps for fixed kz and Weyl points were confirmed by angle-resolved transmission spectra. The robustness of the associated surface states against kz-preserved scattering was experimentally observed. In addition, we propose a pseudospin-polarized waveguide without using bulk materials. Wave propagation in the waveguide is robust against deformations that do not induce spin flip, which were experimentally observed. 15:20 : Invited talk Topological effects based on spin-orbit coupling of cavity polaritons Dmitry Solnyshkov, A. V. Nalitov, G. Malpuech University Blaise Pascal (France) We show that the TE-TM splitting of planar cavities leads to a special type of spin-orbit coupling for patterned cavities. Under an applied magnetic field, polariton graphene behaves as a Z topological insulator with chiral surface states, which can be evidenced by direct resonant excitation. In zigzag chains of pillar cavities, this coupling brings about the topological edge states and stable dark-bright solitons, allowing to study the KibbleZurek mechanism in condensation. 15:40 : Invited talk Topological excitons, plexcitons, and polaritons in organic materials Joel Yuen-Zhou University of California San Diego (USA) The control of energy transfer at the nano- and mesoscales is one of the main goals for the development of efficient light-harvesting architectures and photonic circuitry. Here, we describe our proposals for the design of topological edge states in excitonic and polaritonic systems composed of organic materials. We shall discuss models of porphyrin thin films, molecular crystals coupled to plasmonic metals, and organic dyes in an optical microcavity, which we believe, can be readily implemented experimentally. 14:00 - 16:00 — Antequera Session 1A17 SP24. Nanophotonics and plasmonics for information applications Organized by: Haitao Liu Chaired by: Ya Cheng 14:00 : Invited talk Photonic spin Hall effect in waveguides composed of two kinds of single-negative metamaterials Z. W. Guo, K. Yu, Haitao Jiang, H. Chen Tongji University (China) In this work, we experimentally demonstrate the photonic spin Hall effect in waveguides composed of two kinds of single-negative metamaterials. We find that a source with a linear polarization couples equally with the two guided modes oppositely propagating along the interface. However, a circularly rotating source only couples with one guided mode with a specific propagating direction, which is determined by the rotation direction of the source. 14:20 : Invited talk Efficient generation of prominent and robust plasmonic Fano resonances in a 3D metamaterial Jiafang Li, Zhiguang Liu, Zhi-Yuan Li Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) 41 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 We report our recent experimental and theoretical works on the efficient generation of prominent and robust Fano resonances in a 3D metamaterial. The observed Fano resonances are highly scalable, universal, robust and immune against both fabrication and illumination imperfections 14:40 : Invited talk Surface plasmon model for the radiation enhancement by resonant optical dipole antennas Haitao Liu1 , Hongwei Jia1 , Ying Zhong2 1 Nankai University (China), 2 Tianjin University (China) We report an intuitive model based on a multiple scattering of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) that can comprehensively predict the emission properties of a dipole antenna. The enhancement of the antenna radiation is shown to be due to surface waves that are resonantly excited on the two antenna arms and that are further coupled into the nano-gap. Both SPPs and other surface waves contribute to the antenna radiation for the lowest-order resonance while only SPP dominates at higher-order resonances. 15:00 : Invited talk Dynamic plasmonic tweezers for nanoparticles and nanowires Xiujie Dou, Changjun Min, Lichao Zhang, Yuquan Zhang, Xiaocong Yuan Shenzhen University (China) The hybrid plasmonic mode between a nanoparticle and a metal film strongly enhances the electromagnetic field and the induced optical forces. Here, we employ the plasmonic mode to achieve a dynamic plasmonic tweezers for trapping and manipulation of nanoparticles and nanowires on a flat metal surface. The plasmonic tweezers can trap metallic, dielectric and semiconductor nano-objects, and control its position and orientation. Finally we show its potential applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering and lab-on-a-chip nanowire devices. 15:20 : Invited talk Plasmonic and Dielectric Nanoantennas for Integrated Photonic Circuitry Yuanqing Yang, Jingyi Tian, Hang Zhao, Qiang Li, Min Qiu Zhejiang University (China) Nanoantennas, analogues of microwave and radiowave antennas at optical frequencies, have become a subject of great interest in recent years. Here we review our recent work on both plasmonic and dielectric nanoantennas. Different designs such as nanohorns, patch dimers and stair-like configurations are presented. In particular, we discuss how to control and functionalize the far-field radiation characteristics of these nanoantennas and nanoantenna-quantum-emitter coupled systems. These studies are expected to open new avenues for integrated photonic circuitry and optical wireless communications. 15:40 : Invited talk Quasi-normal mode formalism for the radiation properties of nanoparticles in optical stacks Kevin Vynck, Remi Faggiani, Jianji Yang, Philippe Lalanne Bordeaux University (France) We propose to exploit the concept of quasi-normal modes (QNMs) to predict rapidly and accurately the radiation properties of small resonant nanostructures (e.g. individual nanoparticles, nanoparticle aggregates) deposited on or embedded in optical stacks. Once the QNMs of a resonant system are (numerically) calculated, the radiation pattern in free space and in the stack guided modes is known analytically for any excitation. This method opens the route towards a smart design of hybrid nanoparticle/stack systems with new optical functionalities. 14:00 - 16:00 — Fuengirola 42 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Session 1A18 SP1. Active, Nonlinear and Reconfigurable Plasmonics and Metamaterials Organized by: Christos Argyropoulos and Pai-Yen Chen Chaired by: Christos Argyropoulos and Pai-Yen Chen 14:00 : Invited talk Tunable Generation of Graphene Surface Plasmon Polaritons Mohamed Farhat1 , Hakan Bagci1 , Pai-Yen Chen2 , Sebastien Guenneau3 1 KAUST (Saudi Arabia), 2 Wayne State University (USA), 3 Aix-Marseille University (France) This work focuses on two recently proposed concepts in graphene plasmonics. (i) Generation and dynamic steering of Terahertz (THz) beams using graphene antennas. (ii) Efficient and tunable generation of graphene surface plasmon polaritons (GSSPs). 14:20 : Invited talk Nonlocal phenomena in metastructures with near-zero parameters Inigo Liberal1 , Yue Li2 , Nader Engheta1 1 University of Pennsylvania (USA), 2 Tsinghua University (China) Metastructures with near-zero parameters provide alternative pathways to engineer light- matter interactions. Here, we emphasize the nonlocal properties of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) media by demonstrating that the characteristics of a large scattering body can be manipulated with a single and small actuator. These and other examples of the nonlocal features of ENZ media will be discussed in our presentation. 14:40 : Invited talk Inherently Nonrecirocal: Nonlinear Metamaterials Ekaterina Poutrina, Augustine Urbas Air Force Research Laboratory (USA) We demonstrate that non-recirocity of nonlinear generation is inherent and realistically observable in the effective nonlinear multipolar response of nanostructures. A careful design of effective hyperpolarizability terms allows both a non-reciprocal and unidirectional nonlinear generation where the generation direction is preserved with respect to a fixed laboratory coordinate sysem when reversing the direction of the fundamental field. Alternatively, it can ensure a directionally selectivi inhibition of the nonlinear response for certain respective directions of teh fundamental beams. 15:00 : Invited talk Silver grain nonlinear metamaterial Tomasz Stefaniuk1 , Nicolas Olivier1 , Alessandro Belardini2 , Concita Sibilia2 , Aleksandra Wronkowska3 , Andrzej Wronkowski3 , Tomasz Szoplik4 , Anatoly Zayats1 1 King’s College London (United Kingdom), 2 Sapienza Universita di Roma (Italy), 3 UTP University of Science and Technology (Poland), 4 University of Warsaw (Poland) Silver is one of the most commonly used metals for constructing metamaterials working in the visible wavelength range. This is because it has low ohmic losses, associated with small values of imaginary part of permittivity. In this talk we will demonstrate that due to segregation of germanium atoms to silver grain boundaries, a smooth silver layer might become a metamaterial itself. This system exhibits such effects as localised plasmon resonances on encapsulated grains and extraordinary second harmonic generation. 15:20 : Invited talk Shape and phase of surface plasmon lasers on active metasurfaces V. T. Tenner, M. J. A. de Dood, M. P. van Exter University Leiden (The Netherlands) We study surface plasmon lasing in a simple metamaterial with gain, comprising a square metal hole array on a semiconductor gain layer. These lasers emit radially polarized vector-vortex beams. We study the origin of these beams by measuring the radiated intensity in both near and far field and reconstructing the phase of the emission. The reconstructed phase gives valuable information on the distributedfeedback of these lasers and reveals the origin of the donut shaped laser beams. 43 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 15:40 : Invited talk Switchable and reconfigurable nanophotonics: from single antennas to complex systems Otto L. Muskens1 , Roman Bruck1 , Yudong Wang1 , Kees de Groot1 , Kevin Vynck2 , Philippe Lalanne2 , Goran Mashanovic1 , Graham Reed1 1 University of Southampton (United Kingdom), 2 University Bordeaux (France) I present results aimed at achieving nanoscale switchable and reconfigurable devices. A single nanoantenna can concentrate intensity and produce an enhanced excitation and readout of a nonlinear Kerr medium. Next to single-antenna building blocks, we look at highly multimode, complex environments where the light field is the result of interference of many possible light paths. New types of all-optical control are achieved through reconfiguring the light field and the medium itself, including ultrafast wave shaping and reciprocity effects. 14:00 - 15:40 — Estepona Session 1A19 SP15. Non-linear and ultra-fast spectroscopy of nano- and meta-materials Organized by: Pierre-Michel Adam, Pierre-Francois Brevet and Giulio Cerullo Chaired by: Pierre-Michel Adam, Pierre-Francois Brevet and Giulio Cerullo 14:00 : Invited talk Linear and nonlinear plasmonics with single gold nanorods Martin Caldarola, W. Zhang, M. Orrit Universiteit Leiden (The Netherlands) I will review the recent work of our group using single gold nanorods for fluorescence enhancement as well as our current efforts to use higher harmonic generation in single nanorods for UV generation and its possible use as localized source for excitation of blue and near-UV fluorophores. 14:20 : Invited talk Mode-matched multiresonant plasmonic antennas for enhanced wave mixing at the nanoscale Michele Celebrano1 , Xiaofei Wu2 , Milena Luisa Baselli1 , Swen Grossmann3 , Paolo Biagioni1 , Lavinia Ghirardini1 , Giovanni Pellegrini1 , Andrea Locatelli4 , Costantino De Angelis4 , Giulio Cerullo5 , Roberto Osellame5 , Bert Hecht3 , Lamberto Duo1 , Franco Ciccacci1 , Marco Finazzi1 1 Politecnico di Milano (Italy), 2 University of Bayreuth (Germany), 3 University of Wurzburg (Germany), 4 University of Brescia (Italy), 5 IFN-CNR - Politecnico di Milano (Italy) We have developed a paradigm to optimize the second-order nonlinear emission in plasmonic nanoantennas. This approach is based on the design of broken-symmetry plasmonic nanostructures simultaneously displaying multiple resonances at both the excitation and emission wavelengths and spatial overlap between the local modes involved. We will describe the properties of the nonlinear emission from these structures and discuss possible implementations of the introduced paradigm to metasurfaces for applications to nonlinear sensing and quantum optics. 14:40 : Invited talk Quantitative optical spectroscopy of single metal nano-objects Aurelien Crut, Anna Lombardi, Etienne Pertreux, Paolo Maioli, Fabrice Vallee, Natalia Del Fatti Universite Lyon 1 (France) We report quantitative investigations of the optical response of individual noble metal nano-objects, performed by coupling linear and nonlinear optical techniques (spatial modulation and time-resolved spectroscopies) with electron microscopy observations and numerical simulations. These studies reveal in particular how the surface plasmon resonances of metal nano-objects are affected by deposition on a substrate, nano-object 3D orientation and, in the case of nanodimers, by electromagnetic interactions. 15:00 : Invited talk Monitoring of core-shell particles freely diffusing in solution 44 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Matteo Martini1 , Meriem Stamboul2 , Anne Debarre2 Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France), 2 Universite Paris Sud (France) 1 We have developed a spectroscopic approach to study the optical properties of single nanoparticles in suspension. This approach includes the possibility of obtaining the emission spectrum of a particle diffusing during a few milliseconds in the excitation volume of a microscope. To illustrate this multiparameter spectroscopy, we will discuss the case of the intrinsic photoluminescence of a mixture of gold monomers and gold dimers and evoke the case of the spectrum evolution of core-shell particles with increasing excitation power. 15:20 : Invited talk Extreme light confinement in plasmonic taper Stefan Dilhaire1 , olga lozan1 , Buntha Ea Kim2 , Philippe Lalanne1 1 Universite de Bordeaux (France), 2 Universite Paris XI (France) We introduce a Time Domain Thermoreflectance (TDTR) approach to reveal, understand and control energy confinement when going from macro- to nano-scale, i.e. including all conversion processes from incident photon, to plasmons, electrons, and phonons within space and time scales from micrometer to nanometer, and from tens of femtoseconds up to tens of picoseconds. 14:00 - 16:05 — Benalmadena Session 1A20 SP3. PT-symmetry in photonics, metamaterials and plasmonic systems Organized by: Anatole Lupu and Henri Benisty Chaired by: Anatole Lupu and Henri Benisty 14:00 : Invited talk Control of Power in Parity-Time Symmetric Lattices Maksim Kozlov1 , Georgios Tsironis2 1 Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan), 2 University of Crete (Greece) We demonstrate that in the longitudinally modulated Parity-Time symmetric lattices the light wave power can be controlled through overlap of gain-loss distribution with intensity pattern formed by interference of Rabicoupled Floquet-Bloch modes. 14:20 : Invited talk Parity-Time Symmetric Chain Resonators Sendy Phang, Ana Vukovic, Stephen C. Creagh, Gabriele Gradoni, Phillip D. Sewell, Trevor Benson University of Nottingham (United Kingdom) A simple tight-binding model to study the band-structure of an infinite length Parity-time (PT) symmetric chain of resonators is presented in this paper. In the talk, we will investigate the impact of having a structure of finite length and consider the effect of a modulation of the real part of the refractive index on the complete band-structure of the PT-chain system. For a finite PT-chain structure under certain modulation, we observe the existence of a localised mode which is either lasing or dissipating. 14:40 : Invited talk Non-Hermitian Acoustics Hamidreza Ramezani1 , Chengzhi Shi2 , Marc Dubois2 , Yuan Wang2 , Xiang Zhang2 1 University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (USA), 2 University of California Berkeley (USA) We introduce the concept of non-Hermitian parity-time (PT) symmetric acoustics. We show that the PT symmetric acoustic structure becomes transparent from one side at the exceptional point with perfect transmission and zero reflection from one side. We demonstrate a method to obtain simultaneous control of complexvalued potentials and multiple interference inside the structure to accomplish the exceptional point at any given frequency. Moreover, we propose a mechanism for directional excitation based on impedance matched PT symmetric potential. 45 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 15:00 : Invited talk Rings of Exceptional Points Marin Soljacic MIT (USA) We present our recent work on exceptional points in 2D periodic photonic crystal slabs. Since these are 2D systems, the resulting system has not only one exceptional point (like is typical in 1D), but rather a ring of exceptional points. Its properties and potential applications will be discussed. 15:20 : Origin of folded bands in metamaterial crystals Peter Markos, Richard Hlubina Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia) Spectra of metamaterial photonic crystals may contain frequency bands whichdisappear inside the Brillouin zone (folded bands). We observe that the wave equations for suchsystems are essentially non-Hermitian, but PT -symmetric. We show that the real-frequencyspectra correspond to PT -symmetric solutions of the wave equation. At those momenta in theBrillouin zone where no real solutions exist, there appear pairs of complex-frequency solutionswith spontaneously broken PT symmetry. 15:35 : Tailoring spectral properties of local Parity-Time symmetry grating devices for integrated optics Anatole Lupu1 , Henri Benisty1 , Andrei V. Lavrinenko2 1 Universite Paris Sud (France), 2 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) We explore the functionalities of nonuniform Parity-Time -symmetric structures with engineered complexindex-modulation profiles. The use of nonuniform coupling or gain-loss modulation profiles brings a number of advantages as compared to the uniform PT-symmetric structures. The intention of the undertaken approach is to show that many conventional techniques previously developed for passive-type grating-assisted or coupledwaveguide devices for integrated optics can be transposed and adapted to a PT-symmetric case, fostering thus a new generation of active photonic devices. 15:50 : Constant-Intensity waves in Media with Gain and Loss Konstantinos Makris1 , Andre Brandstotter2 , Philipp Ambichl2 , Ziad Musslimani3 , Demetrios Christodoulides3 , Stefan Rotter2 1 University of Crete (Greece), 2 Vienna University of Technology (Austria), 3 Florida State University (USA) When impinging on a non-uniform potential landscape, waves typically scatter and diffract, resulting in a highly complex interference pattern in the waves’ intensity. In my talk I will introduce a special class of waves that defy this common picture by maintaining a constant-intensity even in the presence of strong variations of the potential, provided that a suitable combination of gain and loss is added to it. 14:00 - 16:00 — Mijas Session 1A21 SP14. Nano and Mesoscopic Optics in Colloidal and Granular Systems Organized by: Aristide Dogariu and Juan J. Saenz Chaired by: Aristide Dogariu and Juan J. Saenz 14:00 : Invited talk Coherent Control of Light in Disordered Media Assisted by Long-range Correlations Chia Wei Hsu1 , Seng Fatt Liew1 , Arthur Goetschy2 , Yaron Bromberg1 , A. Douglas Stone1 , Hui Cao1 1 Yale University (USA), 2 ESPCI ParisTech (France) In recent years, wavefront shaping has become a powerful tool for manipulating the transport of light in disordered media. We show that long-range correlations in the coherent diffusion allow more control on nonlocal properties than one could in uncorrelated systems. Spatially, moving from controlling a single speckle grain (local) to controlling a large area (global), the effects of long-range correlations become prominent. 46 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Spectrally, long-range correlations reduce the spectral degrees of freedom and enable the broadband control of light. 14:20 : Invited talk Launching optical energy into the fundamental diffusion mode of a complex nanophotonic medium Femi Ojambati, Hasan Yilmaz, Ad Lagendijk, Allard P. Mosk, Willem L. Vos University of Twente (The Netherlands) We demonstrate experimentally that optical wavefront shaping increases light coupling into the fundamental diffusion mode of a scattering medium. The total energy density inside a scattering medium of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was probed by exciting fluorescent spheres that were randomly positioned in the medium. We observe that the total fluorescent power is enhanced when the incident wavefront is optimized. Our model, which is based on the fundamental diffusion eigensolution agrees well with experimental data. 14:40 : Invited talk Polarization revival through scattering media Hilton B. de Aguiar1 , Sylvain Gigan2 , Sophie Brasselet1 1 Institut Fresnel (France), 2 Universite Pierre et Marie Curie (France) Recently, microscopy in scattering media has been enabled by impressive developments of wavefront shaping techniques. However, current demonstrations only allow retrieving information at a microscopic level. In this contribution, we demonstrate an unprecedented phenomenon with which deep molecular-level imaging may be enabled: polarization revival via wavefront shaping. 15:00 : Invited talk Spatial structure of transmission eigenchannels and densities of states of random media Matthieu Davy1 , Z. Shi2 , C. Tian3 , A. Z. Genack2 1 University of Rennes 1 (France), 2 Queens College of the City University of New York (USA), 3 Tsinghua University (China) We explore the spatial structure of the energy density of eigenchannels of the transmission matrix within random media. Using a connection with the generalized diffusion equation, we provide an expression of its ensemble average for any transmission eigenvalue. We further show that the contribution of each eigenchannel to the density of states can be determined from measurements of spectra of the transmission matrix. This contribution is equal to the stored energy density in each eigenchannel. 15:20 : Invited talk Eigenchannels in scattering media: from manipulation to inverse design Alexey Yamilov1 , Sasha Petrenko1 , Milan Koirala1 , Raktim Sarma2 , Hui Cao2 1 Missouri University (USA), 2 Yale University (USA) We demonstrate control of transport of light inside disordered waveguides by modifying the transmission eigenchannels. We obtain a relationship between the shape of the waveguide and the eigenchannel profile that opens the possibility of inverse design. Our approach allows one to control not only the transmitted but also reflected and absorbed light. 15:40 : Invited talk Cellulose bio-inspired hierarchical structures Silvia Vignolini University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) Nature’s strongest and vivid colours rely on the ability to produce complex and hierarchical photonic structures with lattice constants on the order of the wavelength of visible radiation. A common strategy design that is found both in the animal and plant kingdoms for producing such effects is the helicoidal multilayers. In such structures, a series of individual nano-fibers (made of natural polymers as cellulose and chitin) are arranged parallel to each other in stacked planes. 14:00 - 16:10 — Alhaurin 47 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Session 1A22 SP27. Magnetic Surface Polaritons: interactions between the magnetic, plasmonic, acoustic surface waves Organized by: Raa’nan Tobey and Vasily Temnov Chaired by: Raa’nan Tobey and Vasily Temnov 14:00 : Enhanced Magneto-optical Effect in Magnetoplasmonic Ring-Split ring structures Hua Yu Feng1 , Feng Luo1 , Raul Arenal2 , Fernando Garcia3 , Gaspar Armelles3 , Alfonso Cebollada3 1 IMDEA Nanoscience (Spain), 2 Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), 3 IMM-Instituto de Microelectronica de Madrid (Spain) We study the localized plasmon resonance enhanced magneto-optical effect in the magnetoplasmonic ringsplit ring structure. A split Au ring is generated on top of an Au ring in which a Co-dot has been embedded. By optimizing the split ring gap, the electromagnetic field is redistributed and focused around the Co-dot, therefore the MO activity boosts and is maximized for structure with a gap of 60deg, exhibiting an enhancement factor of 3 compared to the one without gap. 14:15 : Harnessing magnetoplasmons to induce topological excitations Joel Yuen-Zhou University of California San Diego (USA) I will discuss how to couple magnetoplasmons with excitons in an organic molecular crystals to obtain topologically protected edge states. 14:30 : Invited talk Tunable magneto-acoustic crystals Florian Allein, Vincent Tournat, Vitali Gusev, Georgios Theocharis Universite du Maine (France) We study the dynamics of 1D magneto-acoustic crystals composed of a chain of steel spherical beads inside a properly designed magnetic field. We display the theoretical dispersion relations considering all six degrees of freedom of the individual beads and compare with the obtained experimental results. We present experimental evidence of transversal-rotational modes of propagation and tunability of the response by changing the strength of the magnetic field. 14:50 : Invited talk Switching of the Magnetic Moment by Mechanical Motion Eugene M. Chudnovsky The City University of New York (USA) Spin-rotation coupling limits the quality factor of a nanoresonator and generates non-trivial quantum mechanics of molecules grafted on carbon nanotubes. Problems of practical interest include switching of the magnetic moment in a nanoresonator by the combined effect of the spin-polarized current and mechanical kick, electromechanical magnetization switching in multiferroics, and switching of the magnetization by surface acoustic waves. 15:10 : Invited talk Spin transport and manipulation in GaAs quantum wells by surface acoustic waves Alberto Hernandez-Minguez, Klaus Biermann, Rudolf Hey, Paulo Ventura Santos Paul-Drude-Institut fur Festkorperelektronik (Germany) The fields of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) produce a moving potential modulation on semiconductor structures. This modulation can capture photo-excited, spin-polarized electrons and holes in an intrinsic semiconductor structure and transport them with the acoustic velocity. Here, we review recent results on the acoustic transport and manipulation of optically excited spins in (Al,Ga)As quantum wells at high (i.e. above liquid nitrogen, LN) temperature. 15:30 : Invited talk Ultrafast Surface Magnetoelastic Waves 48 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 J. Janusonis1 , C. L. Chang1 , A. M. Lomonosov2 , V. Shalagatskyi2 , V. S. Vlasov2 , V. V. Temnov2 , Raa’nan Itzhak Tobey1 1 University of Groningen (The Netherlands), 2 Universite du Maine (France) Surface magnetoelastic waves are generated using a hybrid magnetooptic / transient grating technique. This approach allows us to measure the structural and magnetic degrees of freedom independently and demonstrate resonant coupling between these disparate degress of freedom. We show the excitation of two distinct elastic waves in the transient grating geometry, and the selective resonant coupling to the magnetization of each individually. At resonance, large amplitude magnetization precession is shown. 15:50 : Invited talk Magneto-elastic Symmetry Breaking with Surface Acoustic Waves Alexey Lomonosov1 , Vladimir Vlasov1 , Julius Janusonis2 , Chia-Lin Chang2 , Raanan Tobey2 , Thomas Pezeril1 , Vasily Temnov1 1 Universite du Maine (France), 2 University of Groningen (The Netherlands) Surface magneto-elastic waves (SMEW) are polaritons consisting of the coupled surface acoustic waves (SAW) and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) precession. In nickel thin films the magneto-elastic nonreciprocity manifests itself in the dependence of SMEW phase velocity on the direction of the in-plane magnetic external magnetic field. A simplified analytical approach, where FMR-resonance is driven by a standing SAW provides a complimentary view on the nonreciprocity and is applied to describe symmetry breaking observed in ultrafast transient grating experiments. 14:00 - 15:15 — Coin Session 1A23 SP18.

In this presentation, we will explore systems that leverage self-assembly primarily and as a component of hybrid assembly techniques to produce meta-systems with new properties in linear and nonlinear optics as well as opto-electronic applications. The materials and effects span wavelength ranges and demonstrate the potential for precise and localized fabrication and large area complex materials synthesis. 14:20 : Invited talk Band-edge photonics: a promising approach for next-generation light emitters Kyungtaek Min, Heonsu Jeon Seoul National University (Korea) The most common application have been band-edge lasers, which can be obtained by tuning a band-edge mode to the emission wavelength of gain material. In this talk, we present a new approach in utilizing bandedge modes, where a band-edge mode is tuned to excitation wavelength. By properly designing the photonic crystal structure, we could obtain a large enhancement in optical absorption and therefore subsequent fluorescence, which is particularly suitable for phosphor applications. 14:40 : Invited talk Ultra-confined acoustic THz graphene plasmons revealed by photocurrent nanoscopy Pablo Alonso-Gonzalez1 , Alexey Y.

Intriguingly, due to the coupling of GPs with the metal gate underneath we observe a linearization of the plasmon dispersion (thus revealing acoustic plasmons), which comes along with an extreme confinement of the plasmon fields. These extraordinary GPs properties are very promising for sensing and communication technologies. 15:00 : Bulk rigid terahertz metamaterials based on dielectric microspheres Christelle Kadlec1 , Michal Sindler1 , Filip Dominec1 , Petr Kuzel1 , Catherine Elissalde2 , U-Chan Chung2 , Patrick Mounaix2 , Hynek Nemec1 1 Institute of Physics, Academy of Sciences (Czech Republic), 2 University of Bordeaux (France) Rigid metamaterials were prepared by embedding TiO2 microspheres into polyethylene. These structures exhibit a series of Mie resonances where the lowest one is associated with a strong dispersion in the effective magnetic permeability. Using time-domain terahertz spectroscopy, we experimentally demonstrated the magnetic nature of the observed resonance. Thepresented approach shows a way for low-cost mass fabrication of mechanically stable terahertz metamaterials based on dielectric microresonators. 15:15 - 16:00 — Coin Session 1A24 GEN14.

V. Kharitonov1 , M. D. Dmitrieva1 , A. I. Fishman1 , S. G. Kazarian2 1 Kazan Federal University (Russia), 2 Imperial College London (United Kingdom) This work aims at the study of antenna-driven near-field dichroism of a sub-10 nm epoxy-based azo-polymer thin film. Orientation mechanisms of azo-chromophores (DO3) covalently attached to a polymer backbone as a side-chain are spectroscopically and electrically explored with tip-enhanced Raman scattering and differential scanning capacity microscopy, respectively. Photo-induced heating of a substrate-free polymer film and its glassy temperature is investigated with scanning thermal microscopy.

But disorder can be turned into an advantage to control light propagation. We propose a new experimental scheme where plasmonics modes on random metal-dielectric networks are tuned by wavefront shaping which allows to extract information about the extension of the modes and also far field control of hot-spots. 14:45 : Utilization of hybrid plasmonic modes to investigate surface interactions between nanocubes and polymer substrates Adam Bottomley, Daniel Prezgot, Jason P. Coyle, Mike Bushell, Anatoli Ianoul Carleton University (Canada) Silver nanocube monolayers deposited on polymer films were heated past the glass transition temperature of the polymer. Surface interactions between the cubes and substrate dictate the depth and rate of incorporation into the polymer. Silver nanocubes support hybrid plasmonic modes that are spatially separated when there is anisotropy in the local refractive index. Using this measure, it becomes possible to monitor the position of the cubes relative to the surface and tune spectral features in the visible spectrum. 15:00 : Tuning the optical response of dewetted silver lms through nanopatterning Paul Jacquet1 , Iryna Gozhyk2 , Jeremie Teisseire3 , Jacques Jupille4 , Remi Lazzari4 1 CNRS/Saint-Gobain (France), 2 Saint-Gobain (France), 3 CNRS / Saint-Gobain (France), 4 Universite Paris VI (France) Thin metallic lms can be unstable upon deposition.

P39: Modeling of periodically-structured fiber-reinforced laminates with multiple fibers absent Zicheng Liu1 , Changyou Li2 , Dominique Lesselier1 , Yu Zhong3 1 Universite Paris Saclay (France), 2 Singapore University ofTechnology and Design (Singapore), 3 A*STAR (Singapore) Electromagnetic modeling of periodically-structured, fiber-reinforced laminateswith some fibers missing is investigated, this applying as well to similarly disorganized photoniccrystals. Parallel fibers are periodically positioned in a layer between two half-spaces. Absentfibers destroy the periodicity. The supercell concept involving an auxiliary periodic structureand first-order approximations calling for the Green function of the sound structure providecomplementary solutions, as it will be illustrated by comprehensive numerical simulations. P40: Disordered metamaterials achieve broadband enhancement of quantum effciency of photoelectrochemical devices for water splitting Marcella Bonifazi, Hui-Chun Fu, Jr Hau He, Andrea Fratalocchi KAUST (Saudi Arabia) By Finite-Dierence Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations and experiments, we study a new surface nanostructuring process for photoelectrochemical devices for the production of hydrogen from water splitting. Our material is based on suitably disordered micro-structures that achieve a broadband reflectivity reduction across the visible and near infrared, leading to broadband optical quantum efficiencies (QEs) up to 95percent. P41: Lattice localized plasmons for fluorescence immunosensing Stefan Fossati, Simone Hageneder, Martin Bauch, Wolfgang Knoll, Jakub Dostalek Austrian Institute of Technology (Austria) The detection of chemical and biological analytes is important in numerous fields including medical diagnostics, environmental science and food safety. Fluorescence spectroscopy provides an established means for such sensitive analysis by the utilization of fluorescent labels. Here, a method for the enhancement of detected fluorescence signal by collective localized plasmons supported by regular arrays of gold capped nanopillars is studied and a reader with epifluorescent readout geometry is suggested.

These materials are prepared by using UV laser interference lithography. The responsive hydrogel serves as a binding matrix that is functionalized with ligand molecules for selective capture of target analyte at a plasmonic hotspot. Such structures are promising for biosensors relying on surface plasmonenhanced fluorescence detection. P43: Temporally resolved fourwave mixing in a photonic crystal switch Per Lunnemann1 , Pierre Colman2 , Yi Yu1 , Jesper Mork3 1 Technical university of Denmark (Denmark), 2 Universite Paris Sud (France), 3 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) We present a detailed experimental analysis of temporally resolved fourwave mixing in a photonic crystal cavity based optical switch.

Kavokin3 , Elisabeth Giacobino1 , Alberto Bramati1 1 Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (France), 2 University of Sheffield (United Kingdom), 3 University of Southampton (United Kingdom) We report the experimental investigation and theoretical modeling of a rotating polariton superfluid. Four coherent lasers arranged in a square resonantly create four polariton populations propagating inwards. Controlling their direction allows injecting optical angular momentum. In the linear regime, optical singularities are 60 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 visible. In the superfluid regime, interferences disappear and only same sign vortices remain. Remarkably, the number of vortices inside the superfluid region can be controlled by controlling the angular momentum injected by the pumps. P45: Strongly subwavelength cavities in multilayer hyperbolic metamaterials based on nanometric steps Fabio Vaianella, Bjorn Maes University of Mons (Belgium) Using well-known hyperbolic multilayer metamaterials, we show a new and very simple design of deeply subwavelength cavities based on nanoscale steps between the layers. We demonstrate that the transmission in these structures is similar to a waveguide side-coupled with a classical cavity. Subsequently, by judiciously tuning the distance between two of these nanosteps one can create very tight transmission resonances. P46: Metamaterial Behavior of Hyperbolic Bimetallic Nanostructures Silvia Cortes-Lopez, Felipe Perez-Rodriguez Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (Mexico) The s- and p-polarization reflectivity spectra for a nanostructure composed of alternating Ag and Al layers have been calculated by using an average permittivity tensor in thelong wavelength limit. A pass band of negative refraction in the p-polarization reflectivity for the bimetallic hyperbolic metamaterial, just above the lower plasma frequency, was found. P47: Dynamic Metamaterial based on the Graphene Split Ring High-Q Fano-resonnator for Terahertz Sensing Applications Lin Wang, Xiaoshuang Chen, Wei Lu Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) Structured plasmonic mematerials offer a new way to design functionalized optical and electrical components. Here, we theoretically investigated the electrical active split ring resonators based on graphene metamaterials. Fano resonance and quadrupole resonance are excited at the crossed directions of electric polarization. Such metamaterials could facilitate the designing of active modulation, and slow light effect for terahertz wave. Potential outcomes such as higher sensing ability and higher-Q resonances at terahertz frequencies are demonstrated through numerical simulations with realistic parameters.

The SAW-induced dynamic modulation of the graphene surface creates a diffraction grating which allows to excite the long-lived phonon-like branch of the hybridized graphene/piezoelectric plasmon-phonon dispersion with infrared laser light. 17:00 : Invited talk Ultrafast Plasmon Emission and Hot Carrier Dynamics in Photoexcited Graphene Joachim Michael Hamm1 , A. F. Page1 , J. Bravo-Abad2 , F. J. Garcia-Vidal2 , O. Hess1 1 Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 2 Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) Owing to their overlap in energy/momentum space plasmons in pho- toexcited graphene can become amplified or spontaneously emitted by decay of electron/hole excitations. Based on Boltzmann equations for the carrier, plasmon and phonon populations we investigate the nonequilibrium relaxation dynamics after femtosecond excitation and show that plasmon emission drives the decay of population inversion on 100-fs scales. 17:20 : Graphene Plasmonics for Controlled Manipulation of Sub 2 nm Nanoparticles Mohammad Danesh1 , Zhengtong Liu2 , Cheng-Wei Qiu3 1 A*STAR (Singapore), 2 Institute of High Performance Computing (Singapore), 3 National University of Singapore (Singapore) Accurate control over the position of nanoparticles is of great interest in future nanotechnology applications. However, exact control over the position of sub 2 nm particles is particularly difficult and faces many challenges. In this work we propose a novel and electrically controllable method to overcome this challenge by taking advantage of the Dirac plasmons in a graphene sheet to create tunable optical potentials and study the propgation of nanoparticles in this system using Langevin dynamics. 17:35 : Keynote talk Nanoplasmonics in 2D and atomic-scale materials Javier Garcia de Abajo ICFO (Spain) We will review different strategies and recent advances in the achievement of strong optical tunability in the vis-NIR using plasmons of atomic-scale materials, and in particular 2D crystals and graphene, as well as their potential application for quantum optics, light manipulation, and sensing. 18:05 : Invited talk Graphene-based van-der-Waals heterostructure plasmonic metamaterials for terahertz device applications Taiichi Otsuji1 , Dmitry Svintsov2 , Alexander Dubinov3 , Deepika Yadav1 , Stephane Boubanga Tombet1 , Takayuki Watanabe1 , Akira Satou1 , Victor Ryzhii1 , Vladimir Mitin4 , Michael Shur5 1 Tohoku University (Japan), 2 Moscow Inst. of Physics and Technology (Russia), 3 Inst. of Microstructure Physics (Russia), 4 University at Buffalo (USA), 5 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (USA) This paper reviews recent advances in the research of graphene-based van der Waals heterostructure plasmonic metamaterials for terahertz device applications. A double graphene layer heterostructure consisting of 62 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 an atomically thin tunnel barrier layer sandwiched between two graphene electrodes works for active metamaterials in the terahertz electromagnetic frequency range. 18:25 : Invited talk Hybrid Graphene Metasurfaces to Control Electromagnetic Radiation Christos Argyropoulos University of Nebraska-Lincoln (USA) Graphene cannot efficiently interact with light due to its extremely thin nature. We will demonstrate ways to hybridize graphene with all-dielectric metasurfaces in order to increase the coupling between the far-field radiation and graphene. In addition, we will introduce metasurfaces with resonating elements made only of graphene, designed based on the appropriate patterning of the graphene monolayer’s shape. The proposed hybrid graphene metasurfaces can lead to the design of electro-optical modulators and THz non-reciprocal devices, operating as magnetic-free isolators. 18:45 : Ultrasensitive PT-Symmetric Graphene Quantum-Capacitance Sensors Pai-Yen Chen Wayne State University (USA) We introduce a new concept of parity-time (PT) symmetric radio-frequency (RF) circuit capable of sensing tiny variations in reactive power caused by changes in physical, biological, and environmental events. We demonstrate with a practical graphene quantum-capacitance sensor that a PT-symmetric circuit topology may offer significantly enhanced sensitivity compared to conventional passive RF sensors. The proposed PT-sensors may impact not only extraordinary manipulation of RF signals, but also practical sensing and detection applications. 16:40 - 19:00 — Ronda Session 1A29 SP14. Nano and Mesoscopic Optics in Colloidal and Granular Systems Organized by: Aristide Dogariu and Juan J. Saenz Chaired by: Aristide Dogariu and Juan J. Saenz 16:40 : Keynote talk Casimir-like forces between particles under fluctuating optical fields Juan Jose Saenz Donostia International Physics Center DIPC (Spain) We review some basic concepts related to the optical forces on small (subwavelength) particles, focusing on the interplay between scattering asymmetry and momentum transfer. We show that artificially created random fluctuating light fields can be used to induce and control isotropic Casimir-like forces between small colloidal particles. 17:10 : Invited talk Colloids manipulation with optical radiation Sergey Sukhov, Colin Constant, Veerachart Kajorndejnukul, Aristide Dogariu University of Central Florida (USA) We explore the nature of forces induced by electromagnetic fields on colloidal systems. Particle-field coupling and particle-particle interactions are employed for manipulation of multiple interacting particles. Experiments for controlling diffusive and transport properties of disordered systems are discussed. 17:30 : Invited talk Controlling Active Crowds with Random Light Fields E. Pince1 , S. K. P.

Gigan2 , Giorgio Volpe3 1 Bilkent University (Turkey), 2 University Pierre et Marie Curie (France), 3 University College London (United 63 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Kingdom) Many living active-matter systems, such as schools of fish, flocking birds and bacterial colonies, exhibit collective and dynamic behaviors that are sensitive to changes in their environmental conditions. Here, we show that an active matter system of colloids in a bacterial bath switches between two long-term behaviors, i.e. gathering and dispersal of individuals, in response to the statistical properties of the underlying optical potential. 17:50 : Invited talk Brownian motion of self-assembled colloid structures in optical fields Philip Jones1 , Kiran Govind1 , Nicholas Tidy1 , Xiang Han2 1 University College London (United Kingdom), 2 National University of Defense Technology (China) We present a study of particle structures that are formed by optical binding interactions in counter-propagating beam optical traps, and their subsequent Brownian dynamics. Using digital video microscopy we are able to track particle motion and measure the correlations in position fluctuations. The particle dynamics can be explained by considering the normal modes of a system of masses connected by linear springs and subject to thermal noise, and an analogy is made with the motion of extended polymer chains. 18:10 : Invited talk Diffussion of an electric dipole in a fluctuating random electromagnetic field Manuel I. Marques Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) The dynamics of an electric dipole in a light field consisting on electromagnetic plane waves with polarizations randomly distributed and fluctuating phases is theoretically analyzed. The expression for the optical random force fluctuations, the optical drag force, the equilibrium kinetic energy and the diffusion constant are derived. Numerical simulations for the dynamics of a resonant dipole, initially at rest, show the crossover between the superdiffusive and the diffusive regimens theoretically predicted. 18:30 : A spectral model for the speckle temporal coherence Gabriel Soriano, Myriam Zerrad, Claude Amra Aix-Marseille University (France) We present a simple model for the spectrally-resolved (or multispectral) vector transmission matrix for the scattering of light from highly scattering media. It is used to numer- ically derive the spatial distribution of the coherence time in the speckle pattern for an incident light of given temporal coherence and state of polarization. 18:45 : Experimental verification of mean path length invariance in multiple light scattering Romolo Savo1 , Romain Pierrat2 , Remi Carminati2 , Stefan Rotter3 , Sylvain Gigan1 1 UPMC (France), 2 ESPCI ParisTech (France), 3 Vienna University of Technology (Austria) A surprising invariance property in transport phenomena has recently been discovered, according to which the mean trajectory length inside a disordered medium is entirely independent of the medium’s mean free path. In spite of the general applicability of this result, no observation of this invariance has been reported so far. Here we present measurements for light propagating in multiple scattering media by which we experimentally verify the invariance of the mean path length for wave propagation. 16:40 - 19:20 — Nerja Session 1A30 Symposium: Hybrid Plasmonics and Functional Nanomaterials Organized by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov Chaired by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov 16:40 : Invited talk 64 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Manipulation of Molecules adsorbed on Metal Nanostructures under Plasmon Excitation Kei Murakoshi Hokkaido University (Japan) In-situ surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy was used for the quantitative characterization of the number of molecules in highly localized electromagnetic fields on the surface of metal nanostructure under electrochemical potential control at room temperature. Increment in the Raman scattering intensity was correlated with the change in the surface diffusion behaviour of the molecules adsorbed on the metal nanostructure. 17:00 : Invited talk Nano-optical Chemical and Structural Classification of Nucleic Acids via Label-free Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering Analysis Judit Morla-Folch, P. Gisbert-Quilis, A. Torres, R. A. Alvarez-Puebla, Luca Guerrini Medcom Advance SA (Spain) We describe a fast and affordable high-throughput screening direct SERS method for gaining detailed genomic information on nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and for the characterization and quantitative recognition of DNA interactions with exogenous agents. 17:20 : Invited talk Optical Activity in Organic-Silver Hybrid Nanoparticles Cecilia Noguez, Francisco Hidalgo Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (Mexico) The optical activity in organic-metal hybrid nanoparticles (NP) is studied using a time-perturbed density functional theory that determines the electronic circular dichroism (CD) of chiral systems. The effects of the number of organic molecules, their chiral nature, and different chiral arrangements of they are analyzed in detail. Results allow identify the origin and consequences of the induced chirality of the arrangements in comparison with the intrinsic chirality of ligands, and when both act simultaneously. 17:40 : Invited talk Self-aligned fabrication and spectroscopy of coupled hybrid antenna-nanoemitter-structures Annika Brauer, Regina Jager, Julia Fulmes, Kerstin Scherzinger, Sebastian Jager, Sven Zur OvenKrockhaus, Dominik Gollmer, Alfred Meixner, Dieter Kern, Monika Fleischer Eberhard Karls Universitat Tubingen (Germany) Plasmonic nanostructures act as optical nanoantennas with shape- and size-dependent plasmon resonances. By positioning individual nano-emitters in the high near-field regions of such antennas, the emitter properties can be strongly modified. Techniques for the self-aligned fabrication of individual hybrid antenna-emitterstructures are demonstrated, and the optical characteristics of single or few semiconductor quantum dots coupled to specifically designed metallic nanoantennas are evaluated. 18:00 : Invited talk The Active Plasmonics Paradigm Roberto Caputo1 , Luciano De Sio2 , Ugo Cataldi3 , Thomas Maurer4 , Renaud Bachelot4 1 University of Calabria (Italy), 2 Beam Engineering for Advanced Measurements Company (USA), 3 University of Geneva (Switzerland), 4 Universite de Technologie de Troyes (France) Remarkable properties are devised in systems exploiting plasmonic functionalities. After years of research in this direction, great results have been achieved in Photonics, Sensoristics, Bio-systems, Theragnostics and Metamaterials. Despite the awesome functionality reported, these systems comprise an intrinsic limit in their single use applicability. The active plasmonics paradigm predicts, the presence of a tunable medium thus enabling the tunability of aforementioned functionalities. 18:20 : Invited talk Recent advances and perspectives of magnetoplasmonic metamaterials Paolo Vavassori CIC nanoGUNE (Spain) The rapidly developing field of magnetoplasmonics merges concepts from plasmonics and magnetism to realize novel and unexpected phenomena and functionalities for the manipulation of light at the nanoscale owing to the intertwined optical and magneto-optical properties. This talk will cover recent advances in the 65 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 field as well as applications of such multifunctional optical metamaterials to variety of emerging technologies are presented as an example of their broad scientific and technological perspectives. 18:40 : Invited talk Fano resonance in self-organized embedded metallic nanoparticle gratings and application as optical security features Said Bakhti, Giorgio Baraldi, Zeming Liu, Nathalie Destouches Universite Lyon (France) We demonstrate that the singular colored effects of laser induced self-organized metallic nanoparticle gratings embedded in a high index film result from the excitation of Fano-like resonances. The latter originate from the coupling of the localized surface plasmon mode of metallic nanoparticles and a waveguide mode. They create strongly asymmetric spectral absorber whose color in reflection can be tuned differently on both sides of samples. 19:00 : Invited talk Optically active nanomaterials Yurii K. Gun’ko1 , Finn-Purcell Milton1 , Joseph E. Govan1 , Alexander Loudon1 , Olan Cleary1 , Maria Mukhina2 , Alexander Baranov2 , Anatoly Fedorov2 1 Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), 2 ITMO University (Russia) The main goal of our research is to develop new types of technologically important optically active nanomaterials, study their properties and explore their applications. The utilisation of chiral stabilisers allowed the preparation of new water soluble white emitting quantum dots, rods, nano-tetrapods and nano-sheets, which demonstrated circular dichroism in the band-edge region of the spectrum. Biological testing of chiral nanotetrapods displayed a chiral bias for an uptake of the D- enantiomer stabilised nano-tetrapods by cancer cells. 16:40 - 17:55 — Antequera Session 1A31 SP24. Nanophotonics and plasmonics for information applications Organized by: Kevin Vynck Chaired by: Haitao Liu 16:40 : Invited talk Overcoming Quenching in Plasmonic Nanoantennas Christophe Sauvan Universite Paris-Saclay (France) We have developed a self-consistent electromagnetic theory of the link between light-matter interactions and optical resonances. The theory that relies on the concept of quasinormal modes is capable of accurately handling any photonic or plasmonic nanoresonator. We have used the modal formalism to analyze the mechanisms of spontaneous emission in plasmonic nanoantennas and to unravel the interplay between the decay into the antenna mode and the quenching. We provide guidelines to design plasmonic nanoantennas able to overcome quenching. 17:00 : Spatiotemporal 3D pulse shaping using phase-shifted Bragg gratings Nikita V. Golovastikov, Dmitry A. Bykov, Leonid L. Doskolovich Samara State Aerospace University (Russia) We propose a simple theoretical model that analytically describes spatiotemporal transformations of a threedimensional optical pulse diffracted on a phase-shifted Bragg grating (PSBG). The diffraction of the pulse is described in terms of a linear system with pulse’s transformations determined by the system’s transfer function and impulse response. It is theoretically demonstrated and numerically verified that a PSBG can perform complex pulse transformations, such as simultaneous spatial and temporal differentiation of the optical pulse 66 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 envelope. 17:15 : Invited talk Surface Plasmon Polariton Manipulation in Graphene Sheet Arrays Bing Wang Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagation in graphene sheet array (GSA) consisting of periodic arrays of spatially separated graphene sheets is investigated. The Talbot effect of SPPs is realized in the GSA when the incident field has a few selected periods. Bloch oscillations can also be observed in GSAs as the chemical potential of graphene undergoes a lateral gradient. By varying the lateral distribution of chemical potentials, we demonstrate the SPP beam routing effects in the GSAs. 17:35 : Invited talk Lithium-niobate-based micro-resonators Guoquan Zhang, Fang Bo, Jie Wang, Jiao Cui, Yongfa Kong, Jingjun Xu Nankai University (China) We reported on our recent progresses on lithium-niobate-based micro-resonators, including the fabrication of high quality monocrystalline or hybrid lithium niobate micro-resonators, the electro-optical or all-optical light modulation, and the thermo-optically induced oscillations. The results show that high quality lithium-niobatebased micro-resonators are of excellent active light modulation capability and therefore have numerous potential applications in optical information process. 18:00 - 18:30 — Antequera Session 1A32 GEN15.

At first, the transformation relations between the physical and virtual space are described. Then, material parameters calculated from transformation optics method are used to design a three dimensional low profile superstrate that reorients the radiation pattern in azimuthal plane. 18:15 : Wave Propagation in Complex Coordinates, Reflectionless Media and Localization Christopher G. King, Simon Horsley, Thomas Philbin University of Exeter (United Kingdom) We derive conditions for planar permittivity profiles to exhibit perfect transmission with zero reflection, for all angles of incidence. This is done through investigating the analytic continuation of the wave equation into complex coordinates using the phase integral method. We then consider a family of disordered media constructed using this method, showing that the real and imaginary parts of the permittivity can separately exhibit random fluctuations, but if they are connected via a spatial Hilbert transform, the transmission remains unity. 16:40 - 17:40 — Fuengirola 67 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Session 1A33 SP1.

Smith2 , Philippe Lalanne3 1 University of Bordeaux (France), 2 Duke University (USA), 3 Universite de Bordeaux (France) Coupled electromagnetic fields and charge densities oscillating at optical frequencies along a metal interface are surface modes called surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). SPPs are quasi-particles that confine light to subwavelength dimensions. We review our design and characterization philosophy to produce efficient plasmonic launchers that are used for quantitative nonlinear and quantum plasmonics. These launchers can be used to measure the nonlinearity of metals and to evidence the particle nature of SPPs. 17:00 : Invited talk Nonlinear Reconfigurable All-Dielectric and Hybrid Nanoantennae S. V. Makarov, A. E. Krasnok, D. A. Zuev, V. A. Milichko, I. S. Mukhin, Pavel A. Belov ITMO University (Russia) We present our recent results on femtosecond laser-assisted reconfiguration of all-dielectric and hybrid nanoantennae and metasurfaces. In particular, we propose a novel concept for ultrafast manipulation by scattering properties of an individual silicon nanoantenna with a magnetic dipole resonance by means of generation of electron-hole plasma. In turn, all-optical precise reconfiguration of a hybrid Au/Si nanoantenna was achieved via selective laser-induced reshaping of a golden part, matching its electric resonance with magnetic and electric resonances of a silicon part. 17:20 : Invited talk Laser light generation in plasmonic crystals and metallic nanoparticles J.

Garcia-Vidal, Jorge Bravo-Abad Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) We present our recent advances in the study of lasing action in plasmonic structures incorporating opticallypumped four-level gain media. We discuss two different classes of systems: plasmonic crystals supporting extended surface resonances and core-shell metallic nanoparticles supporting localized surface plasmons modes. The dynamics of the underlying gain-plasmon nonlinear interaction, as well as general strategies to access optimal lasing characteristics, are addressed in each case. 17:40 - 19:15 — Fuengirola Session 1A34 SP8.

Bozhevolnyi University of Southern Denmark (Denmark) Gap surface plasmon-based metasurfaces, consisting of a subwavelength thin dielectric spacer sandwiched between an optically thick metal film and an array of metal nanobricks, feature the crucial property of being easy to fabricate, yet with the possibility to fully control the reflected light. In this talk we discuss the peculiar optical properties of these metasurfaces, while demonstrating their great utility in a broad range of applications. 18:20 : Invited talk Metasurface for helicity multiplexed broadband holograms Xianzhong Chen1 , Dandan Wen1 , Fuyong Yue1 , Guixin Li2 , Guoxing Zheng2 , Kinlong Chan3 , Shumei Chen3 , Ming Chen1 , King Fai Li3 , Polis Wing Han Wong4 , Kok Wai Cheah3 , Edwin Yue Bun Pun4 , Shuang Zhang2 1 Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom), 2 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), 3 Hong Kong Baptist University (Hong Kong), 4 City University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong) We experimentally demonstrate helicity multiplexed metasurface holograms with high efficiency and good image fidelity over a broad range of frequencies. The metasurface hologram features the combination of two sets of hologram patterns operating with opposite incident helicities. The demonstrated helicity multiplexed metasurface hologram with its high performance opens avenues for future applications with functionalityswitchable. 18:40 : Invited talk High-performance metasurfaces based on extraordinary optical diffraction Zi-Lan Deng1 , Shuang Zhang2 , Guo Ping Wang1 1 Shenzhen University (China), 2 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom) We show that the incident light can be near-completely reflected in the -1th diffraction order in a planar thin metallic grating due to the excitation of localized cavity mode. Such extraordinary optical diffraction exists for a wide-angle, broadband regime and a large modulation range of the grating period, allowing for a highperformance wavefront-shaping approach based on binary holography techniques. Our findings provide a facile approach to build arbitrary wavefront-shaping metasurfaces with wide-angle, broadband, and high efficiency performance. 19:00 : Flexible Coherent Control of Plasmonic Spin-Hall Effect Shiyi Xiao1 , Fan Zhong2 , Hui Liu2 , Shining Zhu2 , Jensen Li1 1 Nanjing University (China), 2 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom) We demonstrate coherent and independent control of SPP orbitals for the two opposite spins using multiple rings of nano-slots with properly designed orientations on a metasurface. This scheme provides us to achieve arbitrary optical spin-Hall effect. This is a form of spin-enabled coherent control and provides a unique way in achieving tunable orbital motions in plasmonics. 16:40 - 18:35 — Estepona Session 1A35 SP7. Current Advances in Electromagnetics of Metal and HRI dielectric nanostructures Organized by: Jose A. Sanchez-Gil, Francisco Gonzalez and Fernando Moreno Chaired by: Jose A.

The investigation of the internal structure and the optical properties of the microspheres has revealed that they posses a richly structured core, surrounded by a non-porous shell. While such a porous core kills those resonances whose electromagnetic field is well distributed in the porous region, high-Q modes should occur at the non-porous shell. 17:00 : Invited talk The magnetic response in high-index nanophotonics: from magnetic hot-spots to Huygens’ sources and generalized Brewster’s effect Ramon Paniagua-Dominguez, Y. F. Yu, R. M. Bakker, Y. H. Fu, B. Luk’yanchuk, A. I. Kuznetsov A*STAR (Singapore) Alldielectric nanophotonics based on high-refractive index (HRI) particles hasemerged as an alternative to plasmonics for those cases in which losses are animportant concern. They also offer new possibilities due to magnetic resonancesnaturally excited in HRI nanoparticles. Here we review some of these inconnection with electromagnetic hotspots in HRI dimers and electric andmagnetic dipole interference effects, with focus on metasurfaces. 17:20 : Invited talk Full-solution process approach for tailoring light-matter interaction at the nanoscale Juan F. Galisteo-Lopez, Alberto Jimenez-Solano, Hernan Miguez Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (Spain) One dimensional nano-porous Photonic Crystals can be used as efficient emissive optical coatings by placing nano-emitters at deterministically controlled positions where the local density of states is known. Combining full solution-process techniques we can introduce nano-sized emitters at well-known positions which allow us to probe the local photonic environment of the emitters. Further, a proper design of the photonic structure allows us to optimize intensity, directionality and polarization of the coating’s emission. 17:40 : Effect of the oxide shell thickness on the UV plasmonic performance of Ga, Mg and Al nanoparticles Yael Gutierrez1 , Dolores Oritz1 , Juan Marcos Sanz1 , Francisco Gonzalez1 , Jose Maria Saiz1 , Henry. O. Everitt2 , Fernando Moreno1 1 University of Cantabria (Spain), 2 Duke University (USA) A recent interest in UV-plasmonics has appeared due to its increasing potential in many applications ranging from biology, spectroscopy or engineering. Magnesium, Aluminum and Gallium have been pointed out as promising materials for this purpose. However, these metals form an oxide layer, several nanometers thick, that may affect the formation of localized plasmons. In this work we analyze how the oxide shell thickness affect the plasmonic performance of nanostructures made from these metals. 17:55 : Invited talk Self-assembled disorder in photonic materials Alvaro Blanco, Denise Montesdeoca, Cefe Lopez, Jose Angel Pariente, Carlos Pecharroman Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid ICMM-CSIC (Spain) In this talk, I will summarize our latest results regarding self-assembled photonic materials and, in particular, a new method to prepare photonic glasses from different colloidal suspensions (SiO2, Polystyrene, or PMMA) in a very fast fashion will be presented. Starting from raw materials in the form of powder (as synthesized or purchased) we demonstrate high quality photonic glasses prepared in minutes by simple pressure. 18:15 : Invited talk Plasmonic and all-dielectric nanoantennas for wavelength-controlled directional scattering of visible light Pol Van Dorpe1 , Jiaqi Li1 , Dries Vercruysse2 , Niels Verellen2 1 Imec (Belgium), 2 KU Leuven (Belgium) We will review our recent work on dielectric scattering using both metal and dielectric nano-antennas. 70 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 16:40 - 18:45 — Benalmadena Session 1A36 SP3. PT-symmetry in photonics, metamaterials and plasmonic systems Organized by: Anatole Lupu and Henri Benisty Chaired by: Anatole Lupu and Henri Benisty 16:40 : Invited talk PT symmetric Bragg gratings operating with long-range surface plasmons Elham Karami Keshmarzi, R. Niall Tait, Pierre Berini Carleton University (Canada) Parity Time (PT) Symmetric Bragg gratings operating with long-rane surface plasmons are investigated in the near-infrared. It is shown that at the threshold for PT symmetry breaking, there is unidirectional reflectance and dispersion-less group delay in transmittance. Optical gain provided by optically-pumped IR-140 is balanced with optical loss in this structure to access PT symmetric operation. The fabrication of PT symmetric gratings is discussed and preliminary measurements are presented. 17:00 : Invited talk PT-symmetry control with spatial and temporal modulations Andrey A. Sukhorukov Australian National University (Australia) We present an overview of results on the effects of spatial and temporal modulations in coupled waveguides and fiber loop resonator structures with gain and loss, which demonstrate features of parity-time symmetry with real spectrum and transition to amplification and lasing. 17:20 : Invited talk Linear and Nonlinear Light Propagation in PT-Symmetric Fiber Networks Martin Wimmer1 , Mohammad-Ali Miri2 , Alois Regensburger1 , Christoph Bersch1 , Demetrios N. Christodoulides2 , Ulf Peschel3 1 Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat (Germany), 2 University of Central Florida (USA), 3 Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany) In our experimental work, we create a Parity-Time (PT) symmetric material by coupling two fiber loops of different length. Applying an additional external phase gradient to the system leads to Bloch oscillations, which show the intriguing behavior of exceptional points as well as the existence of phase gradients, for which a pseudo-Hermitian propagation is reestablished. Furthermore, we experimentally investigate the nonlinear regime and the formation of PT solitons. 17:40 : Invited talk Parity-time symmetry and nonreciprocal light transmission in high-Q microcavity systems Min Xiao1 , Xiaoshun Jiang1 , Long Chang1 , Jianming Wen2 , Liang Jiang2 1 University of Arkansas (USA), 2 Yale University (USA) We have realized parity-time symmetry in a coupled active-passive microcavity system with balanced gain and loss. On-chip nonreciprocal light transmission and circulation due to gain-saturaton nonlinearity are experimentally demonstrated in coupled active-passive, as well as in single active high-Q, microcavity systems. There are certain advantages by using a single active microcavity with gain saturation for achieving nonreciprocal light transmission and circulation, such as simplicity in the structure, easy to control, low insertion loss and supperior isolation performance. 18:00 : Side-coupled resonators with parity-time symmetry for broadband unidirectional invisibility Nicolas Rivolta, Bjorn Maes University of Mons (Belgium) We analyze the scattering properties of PT-structures made of a waveguide and a finite chain of side-coupled resonators. Typical 1D PT-structures exhibit unidirectional invisibility (also called anisotropic transmission resonances), meaning unit-transmission and zero-reflection for incidence from one direction. The side-coupled 71 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 nature of our structure provides different features than the traditional tight-binding chain, which we explore rigorously. For example, we can achieve a broadband unidirectional invisibility with only two resonators, and we observe rich dispersions for ATRs with four resonators. 18:15 : The Lorentz group and PT-symmetric waveguide couplers. Blas Manuel Rodriguez-Lara1 , Julio Guerrero2 1 Instituto Nacional de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica (Mexico), 2 Universidad de Murcia (Spain) We show that finite-dimensional optical implementations of the 2+1D Lorentz group in arrays of coupled waveguides can be used as a platform for PT-symmetric all-optical devices. In particular, we explore the linear PT-symmetric dimer and planar three-waveguide coupler, where directional coupling and conversion of amplitude to phase modulation can be demonstrated. 18:30 : Unidirectional Reflectivity in Quarter Stacks with Balanced Losses/Gains Josue Ramirez-Hernandez1 , Felix Izrailev1 , Nykolay Makarov1 , Demetrios Christodoulides2 1 Instituto de Fisica - BUAP (Mexico), 2 University of Central Florida (USA) We study transport properties of a periodic 1D array of bi-layers focusing on theunidirectional refectivity that emerges as a result of the balanced losses/gains incorporated into the arrays. Our analysis is based on the transfer matrix method according to which we derive analytical expressions for both spectral and transport characteristics of the model. We have unexpectedly found that the PT-symmetric transport can emerge even when the system itself is not PT-symmetric. 16:40 - 19:20 — Mijas Session 1A37 SP15.

We report on the exciton dissociation into charges on the sub-ps scale and subsequent charge trapping in different TMDCs. An in-plane electric field further enhances the yield of exciton dissociation. Additionally, TMDCs show a strong Stark effect of unusual origin and field dependence, suggesting their use in extremely compact electroabsorption modulators for integrated photonics. 17:00 : Invited talk Spatial Dependence of the Electron-hole correlation in Hybrid Perovskite Crystals Giulia Grancini1 , Daniele Viola2 , Marina Gandini3 , Davide Altamura4 , Cinzia Giannini4 , Giulio Cerullo2 , Annamaria Petrozza3 1 Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Switzerland), 2 Politecnico di Milano (Italy), 3 Instituto Italiano di Technologia (Italy), 4 Institute of Crystallography (Italy) Methylammonium-lead-iodide perovskite are delivering impressive performances in photovoltaic field, crea- 72 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 ting much excitement in the research community. Monitoring the charge dynamics and revealing how they are influenced by the crystal order is of paramount importance to get a more fundamental insight into this fascinating material and a deeper understanding of the device operation. By combining state-of-the-art femtosecond microscopy with micro-Raman we image the photophysical scenario in CH3NH3PbI3 micro-crystals determining the decisive role of the molecular disorder in screening the electron-hole correlation. 17:20 : Invited talk Optical properties of supported size-selected metal clusters Aras Kartouzian1 , M. Thamer2 , T. Lunskens1 , P. Heister1 , A. Von Weber1 , U. Heiz1 1 Technische Universitat Munchen (Germany), 2 Fritz Haber Institute (Germany) By combining linear and nonlinear spectroscopic methods, we study the optical response of size-selected metal clusters supported on oxide materials. Such experiments could not be performed in the past due to extremely high sensitivities that are required to investigate truly monodispersed size-selected cluster samples with surface coverages as low as 0.1percent of a monolayer. Our results on silver clusters indicate a general trend in agreement with theoretical predictions and a nonscalable behavior characteristic of small clusters. 17:40 : Invited talk Vector Field Nonlinear Optical Microscopy of Nanoparticles Martti Kauranen, Leo Turquet, Abdallah Slablab, Godofredo Bautista Tampere University of Technology (Finland) We review our work on the use of focused vector beams in nonlinear optical characterization of nanoparticles. We show that such beams, including radially and azimuthally polarized beams as well as more advanced highorder beams, provide unique opportunities in the characterization of several types of nanostructures and in controlling the coupling of light into such structures. 18:00 : Invited talk Plasmon-Mediated Nonlinear Optical-Detected Circular Dichroism Kenneth L. Knappenberger, Jeremy W. Jarrett Florida State University (USA) We present nonlinear circular dichroism responses from colloidal metal nanoparticle assemblies. A pair of orthogonally polarized, phase-locked, temporally delayed laser pulses were used to create the excitation polarization state for circular dichroism (CD) microscopy. Analysis of the emission properties suggested that the CD responses were determined by properties of the one-photon-resonant mode excited by the laser. The methods used to generate phase-locked pulse sequences that modulate the excitation polarization are expected to simplify polarization-resolved microscopy. 18:20 : Invited talk Nonlinear Optical Properties of Atomically Defined Thiolate Protected Gold Clusters Stefan Knoppe, Thierry Verbiest KU Leuven (Belgium) Thiolate-protected gold clusters have become an intensely studied area of research in nanochemistry. Bridging the gap between true molecules and the metallic state, this class of compounds is characterized by highly size-dependent properties. Little is known about their nonlinear optical properties. We describe initial results on the first hyperpolarizabilities of a series of thiolate-protected gold clusters, supported by density functional theory calculations. Of note, the clusters are also efficient two photon absorbers. 18:40 : Invited talk MultiPhoton chiroptical effects in nanospirals and in chirally coupled plasmonic nanostructures Ventsislav K. Valev University of Bath (United Kingdom) Strong chiroptical effects in plasmonic nanostructures could find applications in chiral molecular sensing, separation and synthesis. Here we investigate a range of chiral plasmonic nanomaterials with voids in the centers, where molecules could benefit from a superchiral light enhancements. 19:00 : Invited talk Cesium Lead Halide Perovskite Nanorcystals as a New Optoelectronic Material Handong Sun 73 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) Optical gain and lasing properties in a new class of emerging quantum materials, the colloidal all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite quantum dots (IPQDs) (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) will be presented. Our result has indicated that such material system show combined merits of both colloidal quantum dots and halide perovskites. 16:40 - 17:20 — Alhaurin Session 1A38 SP21.

These structures show tunable hyperbolic response and are well suited to control flow of surface plasmons with electrostatic gating and/or photo-excitation. 17:00 : Invited talk Plasmonic excitations in thin topological insulators Tobias Stauber Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid - CSIC (Spain) We discuss plasmonic excitations in thin slabs of topological insulators. These structures can be ideally modeled as a double layer of Dirac electrons and we point out that the plasmonic modes usually depend on the sample thickness - only for very small wave numbers, the universal Dirac dispersion is recovered. In order to explain recent experiments, we propose to also consider the influence of the Schrödinger-like depletion layer underneath the two Dirac systems. 17:25 - 18:40 — Alhaurin Session 1A39 GEN1. Plasmonics and nanophotonics Chaired by: Di Feng 17:25 : Towards a quantitative description of the plasmonic character of optical excitations in nanostructures Luca Bursi1 , Arrigo Calzolari2 , Stefano Corni2 , Elisa Molinari1 1 Universita di Modena e Reggio Emilia (Italy), 2 Istituto Nanoscienze CNR-NANO-S3 (Italy) The excited states of molecular-sized systems have an intrinsic quantum nature. How to recognize plasmonic excitations microscopically in these systems is still an open issue. Here we introduce approaches that allow the quantification of the plasmonic character for each excitation based on first-principles simulations. Our results on isolated and hybrid prototypical nanostructures shed some light on the nature of plasmons at the nanoscale. 74 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 17:40 : First-order perturbation theory with analytical mode normalization for plasmonic nanoantenna arrays applied to refractive index sensing Thomas Weiss1 , Martin Mesch1 , Martin Schaferling1 , Harald Giessen1 , Wolfgang Langbein2 , Egor Muljarov2 1 University of Stuttgart (Germany), 2 Cardiff University (United Kingdom) We present a rst-order perturbation theory to calculate the frequency shift and linewidth change of photonic resonances under modications of the surrounding refractive index. Our method is based on the resonant state expansion and includes a simple analytical expression for the mode normalization. We apply our theory to calculate the sensitivity of plasmonic resonances in periodic arrays of nanoantennas for resonantly enhanced refractive index sensing. 17:55 : Plasmonic properties of metal-doped ZnO transparent conductive oxides for energy conversion Alessandra Catellani1 , Alice Ruini2 , Arrigo Calzolari1 1 CNR-NANO Istituto Nanoscienze (Italy), 2 Universita’ di Modena e Reggio Emilia (Italy) Using first principles calculations, we investigate the origin of near-infrared plasmonic activity in M-doped ZnO (MZO), one of the most promising TCO materials for optoelectronics and photovoltaics applications. Our results predict realistic values for the plasma frequency and the free electron density as a function of the M-doping, in agreement with recent experimental results. Then we characterize the plasmon properties of In-doped nanowires that have been envisaged as plasmonic nanoparticles for energy conversion applications. 18:10 : Enhanced Subwavelength Focusing Properties of Ag-Au Hybrid Plasmonic Lens with Outer Slit Design Kai Hao Chang, Min Hsiu Cheng, Po Tsung Lee National Chiao Tung University (Taiwan) We propose a Ag-Au hybrid plasmonic lens (PL) with outer slit design to obtain enhanced subwavelength focusing. The added outer slit can increase the power intensity and narrow down the focal spot. The measured focal spots of Ag-Au hybrid PL and Au PL with outer slit are 285 nm and 299 nm at working wavelength of 633 nm, which show the better subwavelength focusing property for the bimetallic nanostructure design. 18:25 : Integrated Photonics Platform for Single Quantum Dots at Telecom Wavelengths Khaled Mnaymneh, D. Dalacu, S. Haffouz, J. Lapointe, P. J. Poole, R. L. Williams National Research Council (Canada) We report on progress towards an integrated photonics architecture for single self-assembled quantum dots. Specifically, we use InAs dots in an InP matrix that act as our non-classical light sources for telecommunication wavelengths. The emission of these dots is collected and routed using our semiconductor-under-insulator platform technology. 16:40 - 19:15 — Coin Session 1A40 GEN9. Metasurfaces and optical antennas Chaired by: Thomas Zentgraf 16:40 : Invited talk Novel Photonic Devices with Spatiotemporally Engineered Metasurfaces Amr Shaltout, Alexander Kildishev, Vladimir Shalaev Purdue University (USA) Metasurfaces have expanded the ability of planar control over photonic momentum, angular-momentum and/or spin states, through locally controlled phase and/or polarization, enabling a novel family of ultrathin flat devices. Another class of time-varying metasurfaces opens up a new horizon of light control based on space-time duality of wave equations. Temporally-engineered metasurfaces break Lorentz-reciprocity paving the way for developing magnetic-free optical isolators. Furthermore, they induce a wavelength-shift that could 75 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 compensate for Doppler-shift and render a velocity cloak for moving objects. 17:00 : High-performance planar holographic structures for complex focusing of terahertz beams Sergei A. Kuznetsov1 , Mikhail A. Astafev1 , Alexandr N. Gentselev2 , Miguel Navarro-Cia3 , Miguel Beruete4 , Andrey V. Arzhannikov1 1 Novosibirsk State University (Russia), 2 Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (Russia), 3 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), 4 Public University of Navarra (Spain) We overview the research results on electromagnetic optimization and experimental realization of low- and high-aspect plasmonic structures designed for simple and sophisticated focusing at the frequencies of 0.35 and 0.65 THz. The structures are considered both in the reflect- and transmit-array configurations whose surface phase distribution is synthesized with a computer holography technique. The overall diffraction efficiency reaching 80 percent is experimentally demonstrated. The methods of structure fabrication using UV and deep X-ray lithography are discussed. 17:15 : Extrinsic orbital Hall effect in cyclic group symmetric metamaterial Yeon Ui Lee1 , Igor Ozerov2 , Frederic Bedu2 , Ji Su Kim1 , Frederic Fages2 , Jeong Weon Wu1 1 Ewha Womans University (Korea), 2 Aix Marseille University (France) We designed and fabricated a cyclic group symmetric metamaterial possessing n-fold rotation symmetry, composed of plasmonic tapered arc antennas. We show how the far field intensity distribution of vortex beam with orbital angular momentum can be tailored through cyclic group symmetry designs. The extrinsic orbital Hall transverse shifts from metamaterials exhibit geometrical patterns associated with the order n of n-fold rotation symmetry. We found that the experimentally observed geometrical patterns agree well with those obtained from FDTD theoretical simulation. 17:30 : Far field dark modes excitation and electromagnetically induced transparency Elena Bochkova1 , Shah Nawaz Burokur2 , Andre de Lustrac1 , Anatole Lupu1 1 Universite Paris Sud (France), 2 Universite Paris Ouest (France) We introduce new concepts of direct dark modes and electromagnetically induced transparency excitation based on a resonant element with incoming field symmetries matching and far field coupling of resonant elements using their antenna emission properties. This greatly relaxes fabrication constraints for the optical domain where such kind of resonances presenting sharp spectra are highly desirable for sensing applications. 17:45 : Periodic arrays of film-coupled nanoparticles as tunable all-dielectric metasurfaces Evangelos Almpanis1 , Nikolaos Papanikolaou2 , Vassilios Yannopapas1 , Nikoalos Stefanou3 1 National Technical University of Athens (Greece), 2 Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Greece), 3 National and Kapodistrian University (Greece) Electromagnetic coupling of nanoparticles with a thin film gives rise to various optical modes that enable the control of light in many different ways. Such ultrathin geometries with exotic optical behaviour, also known as metasurfaces, are advantageous for flat optics applications compared to three-dimensional metamaterials. In this work we demonstrate the performance of all-dielectric metasurfaces and propose architectures for plasmon-like field concentrations, total absorption, and enhanced magneto-optical effects. 18:00 : Gradient phase Metasurfaces lens to focus electromagnetic waves Akram Boubakri, F. Choubeni, T. H. Vuong, J. David INNOVCOM LAB (Tunisia) Recent progress has shown that flat metasurfaces with reduced dimensions are capable to provide an abrupt phase change which is responsible for the modification of the wavefront beam and enable the development of a novel ultrathin flat lens. Here, we present a flat metasurfaces lens enable the focus of an impinging plane wave to a point in reflection geometry. 18:15 : Resonances in metasurfaces and their applications in SPR sensing Ivan Richter, Jakub Lelek, Pavel Kwiecien, Jan Fiala Czech Technical University (Czech Republic) We study the resonant processes in nanostructured metasurfaces, mainly in arrayed configurations, and assess their potential for surface plasmon resonance effect applied in biosensor applications. Metasurface building blocks with various shapes and arrangements have been analyzed, in terms of their resonances in reflection / transmission and figures of merit. The analysis has been performed with a combination of 76 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 (quasi)analytical approaches and numerical studies, using a combination of our in-house rigorous coupledwave analysis technique and finite difference time domain method. 18:30 : Nanoantennas for controlled enhancement and interference of higher-multipole molecular transitions Karolina Slowik1 , Evgenia Rusak2 , Mirko Goeddel2 , Jakob Straubel2 , Michael Kuehn2 , Florian Weigend2 , Carsten Rockstuhl2 1 Nicolaus Copernicus University (Poland), 2 Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) The spontaneous emission of quantum emitters can be modified by engineering their optical environment. A resonant nanoantenna can significantly modify the radiative properties of a quantum emitter. In this contribution, we go beyond the common electric dipole approximation for the molecular electronic transition, and take higher-multipole channels into account. We theoretically investigate the impact of metallic and dielectric nanoantennas on the interference effects in the emission via different multipolar pathways of a specific molecular transition. 18:45 : Tunable Metasurfaces in Control of Beam Steering and Surface State Resonance with Liquid Crystals Kuo-Ping Chen, Mong-Yin Lin, Shi-Cheng Ye, Mao-Guo Sun, Chi-Yin Yang National Chiao-Tung University (Taiwan) Metasurfaces got immense attention because of the ability controlling the flow of light. The tunability of metasurfaces system could be realized by combining with liquid crystals. In this work, several novel devices, including diffraction control of binary gratings metasurfaces, and tunable optical Tamm state resonance would be presented. 19:00 : Highly Sensitive Room Temperature Graphene-based Sub-terahertz Photoconductor via Electromagnetic Gating Effect Lin Wang, Xiaoshuang Chen, Changlong Liu, Weiwei Tang, Wei Lu University of Science and Technology of China (China) We report biased photoconductive detector but otherwise homogeneous graphene-channel with sensitivity exceeding 400V/W (4?103V/W) at room temperature and noise-equivalent power less than (0.5 nW/Hz0.5), reference to the incident (absorbed) power at terahertz band. The performance is competitive with current optimal coupled room-temperature terahertz detector and attributed to the fast carrier recombination driven by thermoelectric origin and high current gain. Our analysis appealingly opens the perspective to properly engineering preferred photodetection mechanism for addressing the targeted THz application requirements. 16:40 - 19:05 — Blanca Session 1A41 GEN8.

The proposed reconfigurable antenna consists of a microstrip-fed hook shape monopole and a CSRR having single split ring only. The resonance frequency of the CSRR can be arbitrarily chosen by varying its dimension and relative position with the monopole, which leads the antenna to become reconfigurable one. 17:00 : Invited talk Compensating wave packet distortion with active anomalously dispersive media or devices Chun Wang1 , Anjie Zhu1 , Shan Qiao2 , Yongzhi Sun2 , Dexin Ye1 , Lixin Ran1 77 META’16 Malaga Program 1 Monday 25th July, 2016 Zhejiang University (China), 2 Nanjing Institute of Electronic Equipement (China) The observed wave transmission with negative group velocity in anomalous dispersion frequency regions implies the possibility to compensate for the wave packet distortion by a properly designed anomalously dispersive property. Considering the considerable loss in anomalous regions, metamaterials or devices constructed with active elements are good candidates. We verified the compensation for severely distorted wave packets with a wideband floating non-Foster element. The result shows the potential to implement low-loss anomalously dispersive devices or metamaterials for wave packet compensation. 17:20 : Artificial Dielectric Metamaterials for Antenna Applications Shiyu Zhang1 , Yiannis Vardaxoglou1 , Will Whittow1 , Raj Mittra2 1 Loughborough University (United Kingdom), 2 University of Central Florida (USA) The paper will examine the problem of synthesizing non-resonant metamaterials, in the context of several practical applications, for example, flat GRIN lenses, and to propose a strategy of realizing the specified dielectric parameters that avoid the pitfalls in the previous design strategies.

Tsiboukis1 1 Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), 2 Nazarbayev University (Kazakhstan) An efficient cloaking-shielding technique based on the use of a double superstrate-layer overlay is developed in this paper for planar microstrips. The metamaterial-inspired formulation reduces considerably the induced 78 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 on the strip current and the reected from the microstrip electric field, thus alleviating the electromagnetic susceptibility of microstrip transmission lines. For this purpose, the mathematical analysis and optimization procedure are founded on a semi-analytic integral equation algorithm, while a set of numerical results certies its promising merits. 18:35 : High efficient wireless power transfer system based on dielectric resonators Polina Kapitanova, Minghzao Song, Pavel Belov ITMO University (Russia) We propose a high efficient magnetic near field resonance wireless power transfer (WPT) system based on high permittivity dielectric resonators. Magnetic dipole and magnetic quadrupole modes of the resonator are experimentally investigated as the operating modes of the WPT system. The system operating at magnetic quadrupole mode demonstrates high WPT efficiency and stability to the mutual orientation of the transmitter and receiver. 18:50 : New compact AMC structure for low profile antenna Nebil Kristou1 , Jean-Francois Pintos1 , Kourosh Mahjoubi2 1 CEA-LETI (France), 2 Universite de Rennes 1 (France) In this paper, an alternative technique for AMCs unit cell miniaturization is proposed. A miniaturized novel planar AMC unit cell is designed, the reflection coefficient is simulated and then compared with a conventional equally thick mushroom-like unit cell in order to determine the achieved level of miniaturization. Subsequently, a 5X5 AMC unit cell finite structure for low profile antenna is designed to operate at 900 MHz and simulated to demonstrate the potential of the new proposed structure. 16:40 - 18:05 — Sierra Nevada Session 1A42 GEN3.

Experimentally, the one-way propagation in such magnetic photonic crystals is observed. 17:00 : Invited talk Biomimetic gyroid photonic crystals Min Gu RMIT University (Australia) We will present our recent results on gyroid photonic crystals. 17:20 : Topological properties of nearly flat bands in two-dimensional photonic crystals Bing Yang, Tong Wu, Xiangdong Zhang Beijing Institute of Technology (China) Based on exact numerical calculations and physical analyses, we demonstrate that there are two types of nearly flat band in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic photonic crystals (PhCs). One has trivial topology with zero Chern number and the other has non-trivial topology with nonzero Chern number. Physical origins and topological properties of these two types of flat band are studied comparatively. 17:35 : All-dielectric Zero-Index Metamaterial Daryl Inna Vulis1 , Yang Li1 , Orad Reshef1 , Mei Yin2 , Philip Camayd-Munoz1 , Shota Kita1 , Marko Loncar1 , 79 META’16 Malaga Program Monday 25th July, 2016 Eric Mazur1 1 Harvard University (USA), 2 Peking University (China) We present an on-chip Dirac-cone metamaterial with an impedance-matched zero refractive index at a wavelength of 1550nm. The design consists of a square array of air holes in 220-nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) that can be fabricated using a single electron beam lithography procedure. This all-dielectric structure offers improved compatibility with current integrated silicon photonics platforms. In addition, this design enables mass production of zero-index-based photonic devices at low cost and high quality using standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication technology. 17:50 : Chiral photonic crystals to control the circular polarization of quantum dots’ light emission Sergei G.

Lanteri, C. Scheid, Nikolai Schmitt, J. Viquerat Universtity of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (France) We present recent advancements of the development of our DGTD solvers for computational nanophotonics, particularly for metallic nanostructures irradiated by laser pulses or electron beams. By this means, we firstly discuss the numerical treatment of a nonlocal dispersion model for the electron gas which is necessary for structures in the regime of 2 nm to 25 nm. Subsequently, we deal with the modeling of electron beams in 3D simulations for e.g. electron energy loss spectroscopy or cathodoluminescence. 18:25 : Microwave Permeability of Hollow Iron Spheres Conor John McKeever, Mustafa Aziz, Feodor Ogrin University of Exeter (United Kingdom) Carbonyl iron composites comprised of particles which possess an alternating concentric geometry of iron and insulating iron carbide exhibit large permeability in the microwave region. However, predicting the microwave behaviour of such composites has proved challenging due to a limited understanding of the underlying physics governing the particles. We report on micromagnetic computations showing several intensive peaks as high as 25 GHz in the permeability spectrum of hollow iron spheres when excited from their minimum energy state. 18:40 : Vortices and orbital angular momentum of naturally occurring patterns Mohamed Babiker1 , Jun Yuan1 , Yuanjie Yang2 , G.

A fundamental property of these periodic metamaterials is their symmetry, which will inevitably affect their physical behaviors. This work aims at establishing a mathematical framework to analyze the point group symmetry of such kind of metamaterials. In addition, the symmetry breaking is also studied for reconfigurable metamaterials, which has potential application in designing tunable metamaterials. 81 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Tuesday 26th July, 2016 08:00 - 10:00 — Malaga Session 2A1 Plenary Session II Chaired by: David R. Smith 08:00 : Plenary talk Optical forces on exotic materials Stephen Barnett University of Glasgow (United Kingdom) Light has mechanical properties and it can transfer these to the material bodies with which it interacts. Radiation pressure and dipole forces on dielectrics are familiar, but this talk will concentrate on the subtleties that appear with more exotic objects including magneto-dielectrics, negative-index materials and chiral molecules. 08:40 : Plenary talk Transformation optics, surface plasmons, and metasurfaces John B. Pendry Imperial College London (United Kingdom) Metallic surfaces support surface plasmon excitations whose properties are intimately connected to the surface geometry. For example a flat silver surface is an excellent mirror, but the same material with a rough surface is black, reflecting hardly any light. Here we use transformation optics to relate many complex surface structures to a single mother structure. In this way we can classify the spectra of these complex surfaces. Examples will be given of singular structures that harvest light, electron energy loss, van der Waals forces and other properties that are related to the surface plasmon spectrum. 09:20 : Plenary talk Near-Zero Photonics Nader Engheta University of Pennsylvania (USA) In this talk, I will present an overview of our ongoing efforts in exploring various aspects of light-matter interaction in platforms and structures with effective near-zero parameters. We have found exciting phenomena in classical and quantum aspects of wave interaction with such media that may show new roads towards novel devices with unprecedented functionalities, and fundamental features in quantum optics and wave physics. I will discuss some of our most recent results and forecast future directions and potentials.

The key elements of the spectroelectrochemical analysis system are a nanostructured gold surface that serves as the electrochemical working electrode and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate, microfabricated counter electrode, and reference electrode. The system has the merits of wide range of target molecules, small sample volume, and low detection limit. P4: Light trapping above the light cone in a periodic array of dielectric spheres Evgeny Bulgakov, Almas Sadreev Kirensky Institute of Physics (Russia) We show existence of Bloch bound states in the continuum (BSCs)embedded in the diffraction channels in an infinite periodic array of dielectric spheres.

The graphene conductivity is taken to be constant with positive imaginary part. Therefore, we studied the possible propagation of Transverse Magnetic (TM) surface plasmon (SP) in terahertz range of frequency. The effective refractive index as a function of frequency at different MTM’s parameters is plotted using Maple 17. P6: Developing a FETD method for modeling of the optical black hole in metamaterials Wei Yang1 , Jichun Li2 , Yunqing Huang1 1 Xiangtan University (China), 2 University of Nevada Las Vegas (USA) In this paper we propose a finite element time-domain (FETD) method for modeling the optical black holes (OBHs) in metamaterials.

P7: Optical diode based on unidirectional state exchange around an exceptional point Youngsun Choi, Choloong Hahn, Jae Woong Yoon, Seok Ho Song Hanyang University (Korea) We theoretically propose optical diode design based on unidirectional state exchange. The proposed device consists of an index-modulated waveguide coupler in which the index profile is designed to encircle an exceptional point. Nonreciprocal transmission occurs as a result of inevitable non-adiabatic transition and unidirectional gain saturation. We explain the essential mechanism with non-Hermitian Hamiltonian formalism and numerically demonstrate 20 dB extinction ratio with experimentally presumable settings. P8: A Complementary Chiral Metamaterial with Giant Electromagnetic Activity and Low Losses Ismael Barba1 , Ana Grande1 , Ana Cristina Lopez-Cabeceira1 , Jose Represa1 , Gregorio J.

P10: Metafilm consisting of spherical silica glass particles Zhanna Dombrovskaya, Anton Zhuravlev Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia) The polarizabilities of subwave spherical silica glass particles are investigated with taking material dispersion into account. It is shown that the ranges of negative values for electric and magnetic polarizabilities are practically coinciding. This permits to use such particles for constructing DNG medium. A method for simultaneously calculating the effective thickness and the effective refractive index of the metafilm is proposed. P11: Wideband Metamaterial Absorber with Polarization-dependent Operation Osman bin Ayop1 , M. K. A. Rahim1 , N. A. Murad1 , N. A. Samsuri1 , F. Zubir1 , H. A. Majid2 1 Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (Malaysia), 2 Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (Malaysia) This paper presents the analysis of wideband metamaterial absorber (WBMMA). The resonating elements are designed using a square patch with a removed-circle shape. A diamond slit is placed at the removed area and connected to the square patch with thin copper bridges. The proposed structure achieves widest bandwidth which is 13.11 percent between 8.34 and 9.51 GHz. For oblique incident angles, the operating angle for wideband operation is limited to 20o for both TE and TM polarizations. P12: Transmission properties of electromagnetic waves incident to moire superlattices exhibiting quasiperiodic interference patterns Jung-Wan Ryu1 , Jae-Hyung Han2 , Inbo Kim2 , Muhan Choi2 1 IBS Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems (Korea), 2 Kyungpook National University (Korea) We report the transmission properties of electromagnetic waves incident to moire superlattices with arbitrary rotation angles, which exhibit quasiperiodic as well as periodic interference patterns.

In our calculations we use method of images as well as the local field theory. According to this, magnetic dipoles are regarded as sources of the magnetostatic field. As a result, we obtain the modified Clausius-Mossotti relation for the metamaterial bordering a metal. P14: Modeling of 1D Dc-SQUID Metamaterials Oksana Shramkova1 , N. Lazarides1 , A. V.

Tsironis1 1 University of Crete (Greece), 2 Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) We have created and examined the properties of superconducting metamaterial consisting of direct current (dc-) superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and superconducting rod meta-atoms. P15: Second-harmonic generation from toroidal moments of all-dielectric metasurfaces Daniel Timbrell, Nicolae Coriolan Panoiu University College London (United Kingdom) We present an all-dielectric metamaterial with a pronounced nonlinear electromagnetic field due to a strong toroidal dipole. A unit cell consisting of 4 GaAs cuboids is excited with a plane wave, causing the displacement currents of each component to couple, forming a toroidal moment. The power radiated by the dipoles is 84 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 calculated at the fundamental frequency and secondharmonic.

P18: Magnetic collinear holograms with magnetophotonic crystals Yuichi Nakamura, Ryosuke Isogai, Hiroyuki Takagi, Taichi Goto, Pang Boey Lim, Mitsuteru Inoue Toyohashi University of Technology (Japan) Magnetic volumetric hologram is recorded as magnetization directions through thermomagnetic recording. To achieve bright reconstruction image, the use of magnetophotonic microcavity (MPM) for recording media is effective to achieve high diffraction efficiency through the enhancement of Faraday rotation angle and fringe depth. In this study, we demonstrated the effectiveness of MPM media to achieve bright reconstruction image. In addition we also propose the MPM with heat-sink layers for retaining well-defined magnetic fringes that results much high diffraction efficiency. P19: Full-k-space flat bands in photonic crystals beyond the tight-binding picture ChangQing Xu, Yun Lai Soochow University (China) Based on a band engineering method, we propose a theoretical prescription to create a full-k space flat band in dielectric photonic crystals covering the whole Brillouin Zone. With wave functions distributed in air instead of in the dielectrics, such a flat band represents a unique mechanism for achieving flat dispersions beyond the tight-binding picture, which can enormously reduce the requirement of permittivity contrast in the system. Finally, we demonstrate a unique application based on the full-k-space coverage of the flat band.

P22: Electric field induced visually observable change in light scattering and absorption in doped ZnO nanowire colloidal suspensions Martin Timusk, Andris Sutka, Maris Knite Riga Technical University (Latvia) We describe a novel electro-optical behavior of colloidal suspensions of doped ZnO nanowires (NWs). We show that suspension of doped, visible light absorbing ZnO NWs in optically transparent and low dielectric permittivity medium responds to electrostatic charges on the outer walls of the dispersion-containing glass vial and transition from chaotic to partially ordered state occurs. As a consequence of this negentropic transition strong visually perceptible variation of optical properties occurs in the form of color brightness change. P23: Plasmonic Sensing Below the Quantum Noise Limit with Intensity Squeezed Light Benjamin Lawrie, Raphael Pooser Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA) Surface plasmon resonance sensors have found widespread application for biochemical sensing, but they are increasingly limited by the quantum statistics of light. Replacing the classical laser readout with intensity squeezed states allows for either a 2.5 dB reduction of the noise floor or a 5 dB increase in signal amplitude, enabling detection of trace signatures previously buried in quantum noise.

The fabrication technology is based on conventional highprecision micromachining to form nanotemplate surfaces, and new deterministic template-guided thermal dewetting to form crystalline nanoparticle assemblies with high precision. High-precision deterministic thermal dewetting is accomplished with isolated nanotemplates to realize precise volumes of gold with nanometerscale separations. The nanoparticle assemblies are formed with precise position and sub-10 nm nanogaps. P25: Q-factor Tuning of Gold Nanoresonators by Thermal Annealing Naoto Oonishi, Yusuke Niimura, Kyohei Okubo, Edwin Carlen University of Tsukuba (Japan) Nanoplasmonic resonators generate large electric fields by concentrating optical energy on metal nanostructures, however, the field enhancement is limited due to energy losses at optical frequencies, which is quantified by the resonance quality-factor. The quality-factor of gold nanoplasmonic resonators is limited to Q = 20 due to intrinsic material and extrinsic nanostructure properties. We use post-deposition annealing at low temperatures to activate grain growth and to reduce surface roughness. The quality-factor can be increased and resonance energy fine-tuned. P26: Fine tuning of submicron pattern dimensions in Displacement Talbot Lithography Emmanuel Damien Le Boulbar, Philip Adam‘ Shields University of Bath (United Kingdom) We report the lithography of submicron hexagonal and linear grating patterns using the new lithography technique of Displacement Talbot Lithography.

These coupled-mode equations are used to describe a third-harmonic generation in a one-dimensional periodic structure containing stack of positive-index material (PIM) and third-order nonlinear negative-index material (NIM) layers. We found that the generated third-harmonic pulse amplitudes in forward- and backwarddirections from PIM/NIM periodic structure can be enhanced due to backward phase matching technique and band-edge field enhancement. P38: Coupling effects between three dimensional split ring resonators Che-Chin Chen, M. H. Shiao, Y. H. Lin, C. N. Hsiao Instrument Technology Research Center - NARlabs (Taiwan) In this study, the coupling effects between three dimensional split ring resonators (SRRs) were presented by changing the inter distance of SRRs.

The absorption efficiency is higher than 90percent over a broad spectral region with a maximum of 98percent around 500 nm. Omnidirectional and polarization-insensitive absorption of incident light is observed for broad angles of incidence. Thermal stability of the substrate is tested at high working temperature (800 C). P50: Towards the Polarization Control of the Directional Scattering of Semiconductor Nanodisks Ricardo Vergaz1 , Francisco Algorri1 , Alexander Cuadrado2 , Jose Manuel Sanchez-Pena1 , Braulio GarciaCamara1 1 Carlos III University of Madrid (Spain), 2 Laser Processing Group (Spain) In this work we analyze the sensitivity of the directional scattering conditions in semiconductor nanodisks with the polarization of the incident light. The possibility to reach or not this directional scattering as a function of the polarization of the incident beam could be very interesting for the design of new all-optical devices for optical communications and computing. P51: Zero-frequency and extremely slow edge states in mechanical granular graphene Li-Yang Zheng, Vincent Tournat, Georgios Theocharis, Vitalyi Gusev Universite du Maine (France) The edge states in a semi-infinite mechanical granular graphene with the zigzag and armchair edge configurations are investigated. The dispersion curves of edge states are theoretically derived and numerically analyzed in detail. We also study the quasi-flat edge modes when the torsional or/and bending rigidities are weak. These quasi-flat dispersion curves, supporting the propagation of waves with extremely slow group velocity, tend to be perfect zero-frequency modes for zero torsional rigidity or vanish for zero bending rigidity. 10:40 - 12:30 — Malaga 90 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Session 2A2 Symposium: Hybrid Plasmonics and Functional Nanomaterials Organized by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov Chaired by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov 10:40 : Invited talk Single-Particle Absorption Spectroscopy of Plasmonic Nanostructures Stephan Link Rice University (USA) Single-particle absorption spectroscopy on strongly scattering plasmonic nanoparticles is investigated by photothermal microscopy with a supercontinuum laser. The absorption spectra are compared to scattering spectra of the same individual gold nanoparticles and correlated with electron microscopy images that characterize the size and shape of the nanostructures. For many applications of plasmonic nanostructures, absorption and scattering cross sections and lineshapes are important to distinguish, possible with single-particle spectroscopy that also removes nanoparticle heterogeneity. 11:00 : Invited talk Plasmonics of Dielectric-Metallic Hybrid Nanostructures Huanjun Chen, Hao Wang, Zhang-Kai Zhou Sun Yat-sen University (China) Hybrid nanostructures composed of dielectric and metallic components can exhibit intriguing plasmonic properties, which can be utilized for tailoring and enhancing various light-matter interactions. Two recent progresses of our study will be presented. We will first show that Au-silicon nanosphere dimers can exhibit strong unidirectional light scattering behaviors in the visible range. Secondly, we will demonstrate the nonlinear optical properties of hybrid dielectric and plasmonic nanostructure arrays, which can further be utilized for enhancing the photocurrent generation of semiconductors. 11:20 : Invited talk Ultrafast hot electrons spice up localized plasmons Bruno Palpant, T. Labouret, J. F. Audibert, R. Pansu Universite Paris-Saclay (France) Ultrashort light pulses absorbed by plasmonic nanostructures are not only able to transiently modulate their optical properties, but can also lead to the production of a nanoscale plasma, which in the enhanced local electromagnetic field may generate reactive oxygen species in water over a large area, opening interesting outlooks for photodynamic therapy. We demonstrate this process on single gold nanorods by fluorescence imaging and explain the mechanisms involved by an appropriate theoretical model. 11:40 : Invited talk Hyperlensing at NIR Frequencies Using a Hemi-spherical Metallic Nanowire Lens in Sea-urchin Geometry Ankit Bisht1 , Wei He2 , Xiaotian Wang1 , Linda Y. L. Wu2 , Xiaodong Chen1 , Shuzhou Li1 1 Nanyang Technology University (Singapore), 2 Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (Singapore) Label-free and real time far-field super-resolution imaging (hyperlensing) at the nanoscale is of significant interest where sub-wavelength imaging remains a constraint because of Abbe’s diffraction limit. Though by utilizing anisotropic permittivities, metal-dielectric multilayers have been successful in reconstructing the highfrequency components from sub-wavelength objects, yet they remain cumbersome and expensive to make. 12:00 : Keynote talk Tunable Light-matter Interaction With Quantum Spillover and Super-radiance in Two Dimensional Molecular Aggregates Nicholas X. Fang Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) In this talk I will report our recent efforts on controlling light absorption and emission process through quantum effects in sub-20nm scale coatings. For example, we experimentally demonstrated strong absorption in 91 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 the visible spectrum by thin oxides less than 20nm of thickness assisted by silver films. We found such a broadband light absorption below the bandgap of the oxide is a manifestation of quantum electron tunneling that penetrate into the thin oxide layer, and it is controlled by the static dielectric constant of the oxide instead of dopant. We also found a dominant fluorescent decay channel in a two-dimensional molecular aggregate as a result of the strong and coherent dipole-dipole interaction mediated by a metallic substrate. This unique mechanism leads to an ultrafast fluorescent decay and ten-times greater energy dissipation rate than expected. I will also discuss application of these nanostructure for efficient light harvesting and controllable emission, with potential impact in high resolution mid-IR spectroscopy and imaging. 10:40 - 12:45 — Ronda Session 2A3 SP22. Microcavity Polaritons: fundamental physics and devices Organized by: Alberto Bramati Chaired by: Alberto Bramati 10:40 : Keynote talk Microcavity polaritons: fundamental physics and devices Benoit Deveaud Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Switzerland) Polaritons are half-light half matter quasiparticles resulting from the strong coupling of photons confined in a microcavity with excitons confined in a quantum well. Polariton condensates may be created both spontaneously through a standard phase transition towards a Bose Einstein condensate, or be resonantly driven with a well-defined initial phase, speed and spatial distribution. We review here their main properties. 11:10 : Invited talk Spin selective filtering and spin textures in quasi-one-dimensional polariton condensates C. Anton1 , T. Gao2 , S. Morina3 , T. C. H. Liew3 , M. D. Martin1 , Z. Hatzopoulos4 , P. S. Eldridge2 , P. G. Savvidis2 , Luis Vina1 1 Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain), 2 FORTH-IESL (Greece), 3 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 4 University of Crete (Greece) We report on the realization of a novel spin-selective spatial filter mediated by propagating exciton-polariton condensate bullets in a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor microcavity. We also show that, under circularly polarized, continuous-wave, non-resonant excitation, spin textures whose phase depends on the emission energy are formed. 11:30 : Invited talk Exciton-polariton condensates in non-Hermitian potentials Elena Ostrovskaya The Australian National University (Australia) Spatial shaping of an optical pump has been long recognized as a versatile tool for controlling and directing the flow of condensed microcavity polaritons. An off-resonant, incoherent optical pump creates both excitonpolaritons and an effective non-Hermitian trapping potential. We show that optically induced potentials enable exploration of non-Hermitian quantum physics with microcavity polaritons. In particular, we demonstrate, both experimentally and theoretically, non-trivial mode selection in tailored potentials, observation of exceptional points, and visualization of the topological Berry phase. 11:50 : Invited talk Instabilities of polariton condensates in patterned microcavities Michiel Wouters1 , V. N. Gladilin1 , D. De Bernardis2 1 Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium), 2 University of Trento (Italy) We present a theoretical analysis of the instability of polariton condensates. When the repulsive interactions 92 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 between polaritons and reservoir excitons are sufficiently strong, the effective polariton-polariton interaction becomes attractive. For lossless bose gases this instability leads to the formation of bright solitons. With gain and losses present, a chaotic steady state arises. We discuss the different regimes, which include phase chaos, described by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and defect chaos. 12:10 : Collective Scattering of an Incoherently Driven Exciton-Polariton Condensate in Disordered Environment Maciej Pieczarka1 , Marcin Syperek1 , Lukasz Dusanowski1 , Jan Misiewicz1 , Fabian Langer2 , Martin Kamp2 , Christian Schneider2 , Sven Hoefling2 , Alexey Kavokin3 , Grzegorz Sek1 1 Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (Poland), 2 University of Wurzburg (Germany), 3 Saint Petersburg State University (Russia) We observe renormalization of excitation branches of an expanding polariton condensate, generated by a tightly focused nonresonant laser pump. Polaritons scattered on the intrinsic sample disorder occupy normal and ghost branches, revealing peculiar polarization properties in collective microscopic scattering processes of polaritons. We track the time evolution of highly excited polariton condensate and resolve the evolution of the excitation branches. 12:25 : Invited talk Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of quantum fluids of polaritons Sebastian Klembt1 , Thorsten Klein2 , Anna Minguzzi3 , Maxime Richard4 1 Wurzburg University (Germany), 2 University of Bremen (Germany), 3 LPMMC-CNRS (France), 4 Universite Grenoble Alpes (France) Owing to their mixed light-matter nature and their lifetime usually shorter than their thermalization time, exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavity constitute a very specific type of quantum fluids. In this work we present some experimental investigation focused on the nonequilibrium properties of such a fluid, and more specifically, on the way it is transports and stores heat. 10:40 - 12:10 — Nerja Session 2A4 SP8. Metasurface and its application in optical devices Organized by: Shuang Zhang, Jensen Li and Xianzhong Chen Chaired by: Jensen Li and Xianzhong Chen 10:40 : Invited talk Phase manipulation of nonlinear harmonic generation with plasmonic metasurfaces Thomas Zentgraf1 , Guixin Li2 , Shumei Chen2 , Franziska Zeuner1 , Nitipat Pholchai3 , Bernhard Reineke1 , Kok-Wai Cheah4 , Shuang Zhang2 1 University of Paderborn (Germany), 2 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), 3 King Mongkut’s University of Technology (Thailand), 4 Hong Kong Baptist University (Hong Kong) Tailoring nonlinear optical properties is crucial in nonlinear optics. Here we will demonstrate nonlinear metamaterials with homogeneous linear properties but continuously controllable phase of the local effective nonlinear polarizability. Such continuous phase engineering of effective nonlinear polarizabilities enables complete control of propagation of nonlinear signals and seamlessly combines the generation and manipulation of harmonic waves. We will show how the symmetry of meta-atoms influences the nonlinear phase and how versatile second harmonic processes can be controlled on sub-wavelength scales. 11:00 : Invited talk High-Eciency Metasurface Flat Lenses Chun-Chieh Chang1 , Beibei Zeng1 , Abul K. Azad1 , Anatoly Efimov1 , Daniel Headland2 , Withawat Withayachumnank Derek Abbott2 , Antoinette J Taylor1 , Hou-Tong Chen1 1 Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA), 2 The University of Adelaide (Australia) 93 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Metasurfaces provide unprecedented opportunities in creating novel optical devices in manipulating amplitude, phase, and polarization states. It has been shown that few-layer metasurfaces can dramatically improve the device performance in eciency and bandwidth. Here we present the design, fabrication, and characterization of metasurface at lenses based on three-layer metasurfaces in the microwave and terahertz frequency ranges, achieving outstanding performance toward real world applications. 11:20 : Keynote talk Metamaterial Elements as Huygens Radiators Omar Ramahi University of Waterloo (Canada) Metamaterial particles are essentially electrically-small radiators with polarization dependency. Previous works on metamaterials was concerned primarily with using such particles to achieve homogeneous media that enabled unconventional propagation. The fact that the particles are radiators suggests that they can be used as antennas. In antennas, not only radiation but radiation e ciency is critical. In fact, because of their electrically-small size, metamaterial elements can be considered as Huygens radiators. With this perspective, a systematic procedure for designing directional and e cient antennas can be developed as we demonstrate here. 11:50 : Invited talk Reflective metasurface and metadevice Wei-Yi Tsai1 , Wei Ting Chen1 , Yao-Wei Huang1 , Pin Chieh Wu1 , Chun Yen Liao1 , Kuang-Yu Yang1 , HaoTsun Lin1 , Vassili Fedotov2 , Greg Sun3 , Shulin Sun4 , Lei Zhou4 , Ai Qun Liu5 , Nikolay I. Zheludev2 , Din Ping Tsai1 1 National Taiwan University (Taiwan), 2 University of Southampton (United Kingdom), 3 University of Massachusetts (USA), 4 Fudan University (China), 5 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) Metamaterial and Metasurface have recently been studied for the electromagnetic manipulation and observation of unusual optical phenomena. In this paper, we demonstrate the reflective-type and high efficiency metasurface in visible region and a polarization controllable meta-hologram by adequately designing. The full color meta-hologram can also be achieved based on aluminum metasurface. Furthermore, we exhibit metadevice of circular polarization generator. Our works provide potentials to develop novel devices which are not limited by material composition. 10:40 - 12:15 — Antequera Session 2A5 SP4. Plasmonics and Nanophotonics Based on Graphene and Related 2D Materials Organized by: Mohamed Farhat and Pai-Yen Chen Chaired by: Mohamed Farhat and Pai-Yen Chen 10:40 : Invited talk Effect of Remote Impurity Layer on THz gain in Graphene Bilayers with Population Inversion Maxim Ryzhii1 , Taiichi Otsuji2 , Victor Ryzhii2 , Vladimir Mitin3 , Michael Shur4 1 University of Aizu (Japan), 2 Tohoku University (Japan), 3 University at Buffalo (USA), 4 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (USA) We demonstrate that the indirect interband generation of photons in hybrid graphene bilayer structures with population inversion can surpass their intraband (Drude) absorption, resulting in rather large absolute values of the negative dynamic conductivity in a wide range of terahertz frequencies at room temperatures. Thus, the hybrid graphene heterostructures under consideration can be perspective for THz lasers. 11:00 : Invited talk Experimental Demonstration of Unidirectional Terahertz Waves Propagation Using Graphene 94 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Michele Tamagnone1 , Clara Fausta Moldovan1 , Jean-Marie Poumirol2 , Alexey B. Kuzmenko2 , Adrian Mihai Ionescu1 , Juan Ramon Mosig1 1 Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (Switzerland), 2 Universite de Geneve (Switzerland) We present the experimental demonstration of the first terahertz isolator (working frequency larger than 1 THz), obtained using the non-reciprocal electromagnetic properties of graphene under magnetostatic bias. The presentation will cover in detail the design, fabrication and measurement of the device. The isolator exhibits unidirectional terahertz propagation in reflection for circularly polarized waves, showing two bands at 2.9 and 7.6 terahertz respectively. In spite of the simplicity of design and fabrication, the proposed device geometry achieves near-optimal performances. 11:20 : Invited talk Classical and quantum plasmonics in nanostructured graphene Martijn Wubs, Thomas Christensen, Weihua Wang, Antti-Pekka Jauho, N. Asger Mortensen Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) In graphene plasmonics, the classical description of graphene as a sheet with bulk conductivity breaks down for nanostructured pieces of graphene, because finite-size effects emerge, resonance shifts for example. Unlike for noble metals where this size dependence is well captured by a hydrodynamical model for the freeelectron response, in graphene additional competing size-dependent effects due to edge states can occur which are even the dominant effects. 11:40 : Invited talk Electrical Detection of Graphene Plasmons Renwen Yu, Javier Garcia de Abajo ICFO-Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques (Spain) Plasmons, the collective oscillations of electrons in conducting materials, have the potential to interface electronic and photonic devices, and thus are widely studied in nanophotonics. Graphene, which has extraordinary optoelectronic properties due to its peculiar band structure, has proven to be an excellent plasmonic material, offering extremely strong, sub-wavelength electric field concentration with low loss. Here we predict extremely compact on-chip electrical detection of single plasmons supported by nanostructured graphene. 12:00 : Long-range Tamm surface plasmons in graphene metamaterials Hodjat Hajian1 , Humeyra Caglayan2 , Ekmel Ozbay1 1 Bilkent University (Turkey), 2 Abdullah Gul University (Turkey) Considering the Ohmic losses of graphene, we study linear Tamm surface plasmons supported by airterminated graphene metamaterials composed of alternating layers of graphene and dielectric. We theoretically prove that with sufficiently large thickness of the dielectric layers, i.e. 100 nm, the Tamm surface plasmons have considerably large (small) propagation (localization) length, comparable with those of a single layer of graphene. 12:15 - 12:45 — Antequera Session 2A6 SP2. Acoustic, Mechanical and Thermal Metamaterials Organized by: Mohamed Farhat and Sebastien Guenneau Chaired by: Mohamed Farhat and Sebastien Guenneau 12:15 : Three-dimensional Resonant Elastic Metamaterials with Fluid-like Property Guancong Ma1 , Caixing Fu1 , Guanghao Wang2 , Philipp del-Hougne1 , Johan Christensen3 , Yun Lai2 , Ping Sheng1 1 Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong), 2 Soochow University (China), 3 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) We present a three-dimensional anisotropic resonant elastic metamaterial. Due to anisotropy, translation 95 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 eigenmodes are not degenerate along all spatial directions. Repeating the unit cells in one direction can lead to an elastic rod, which can withstand both longitudinal and flexural waves. Band structure analysis shows that within a finite frequency regime, only longitudinal wave can propagate, whereas transverse waves are forbidden - a hallmark property conventionally found only in fluids. This finding is realized with experiments. 12:30 : Double Zero Index Acoustic Metamaterial Marc Dubois, Chengzhi Shi, Yuan Wang, Xiang Zhang University of California (USA) Acoustic plane waves, critical to imaging, sensing, detecting, etc., are usually difficult to generate because acoustic sources are small compared to the wavelength. Recently developed zero refractive index materials for electromagnetic waves provide a solution to plane wave generation because of the infinite phase velocity of waves travelling through them. We experimentally demonstrate that double zero index acoustic metamaterial has the ability to convert efficiently the cylindrical wavefront emitted by an embedded point source into a collimated planar wavefront. 10:40 - 12:10 — Fuengirola Session 2A7 SP15. Non-linear and ultra-fast spectroscopy of nano- and meta-materials Organized by: Pierre-Michel Adam, Pierre-Francois Brevet and Giulio Cerullo Chaired by: Pierre-Michel Adam, Pierre-Francois Brevet and Giulio Cerullo 10:40 : Invited talk Ultrafast all-optical control of the coherent nonlinear emission of multi-resonant plasmonic metasurfaces Giovanni Sartorello1 , Nicolas Olivier2 , Jingjing Zhang3 , Weisheng Yue4 , David J. Gosztola5 , Gary P. Wiederrecht5 , Gregory Wurtz6 , Anatoly V. Zayats1 1 King’s College London (United Kingdom), 2 University Of Sheffield (United Kingdom), 3 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 4 University of Manchester (United Kingdom), 5 Argonne National Laboratory (USA), 6 University of North Florida (USA) We demonstrate and rationalize the ultrafast modulation of the coherent nonlinear emission from plasmonic metasurfaces using all-optical means. 11:00 : Invited talk Nonlinear Optical Effects in Nanoantennas Anke Horneber1 , Jiyong Wang1 , Jeremy Butet2 , Anne-Laure Baudrion3 , Andreas Horrer1 , Olivier J. F. Martin2 , Monika Fleischer1 , Alfred J. Meixner1 , Pierre-Michel Adam3 , Dai Zhang1 1 University of Tubingen (Germany), 2 Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (Switzerland), 3 Universite de Technologie Troyes (France) The nonlinear optical effects in nanoantennas, such as the second harmonic generation and the two-photon photoluminescence, are investigated. Using lithographically fabricated homo- and hetero-dimers as model systems, we discuss the different intensity dependences of the nonlinear processes on the particle size, material and gap distance. Furthermore, combining an ultrafast laser system with a scanning near-field optical microscope, we demonstrate that nonlinear effects can be used to image a single plasmonic nanostructure with an optical resolution better than thirty nm. 11:20 : Invited talk Quantum nonlinear graphene plasmonics Joel Douglas Cox, Javier Garcia de Abajo ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain) Based on realistic quantum-mechanical simulations of the nonlinear optical response for doped graphene nanostructures, we show that atomistic and nonlocal effects can increase the nonlinear response associated 96 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 with plasmon resonances in these systems to significantly higher levels than previously thought. Motivated by this result, we explore various aspects of the plasmon-enhanced nonlinearity in doped nanographenes, such as saturable absorption and high-harmonic generation, and find further support for the exceptional potential of the atomically-thin material for nonlinear nanophotonic devices. 11:40 : Shaping the nonlinear near-field: the plasmonic analogue of Young’s double slit experiment D. Wolf, T. Schumacher, Markus Lippitz University of Bayreuth (Germany) Although shaping of fields around nanostructures is widely studied in plasmonics, the influence of the field inside the nanostructures is often overlooked. The linear field distribution inside the structure taken to the third power causes third-harmonic generation. We demonstrate how this simple fact can be used to shape complex fields around a single particle alone. We employ this scheme to switch the emission from a single point to two spatially separated but coherent sources. 11:55 : Ultrafast relaxation of optically excited hot electrons in plasmonic structures Felix Spitzer1 , Boris Glavin2 , Vladimir I. Belotelov3 , Jonas Vondran1 , Ilya A. Akimov1 , Sachin Kasture4 , Arvind S. Vengurlekar4 , Achanta V. Gopal4 , Dmitri R. Yakovlev1 , Manfred Bayer1 1 Technische Universitat Dortmund (Germany), 2 Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics (Ukraine), 3 Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), 4 Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (India) Periodically perforated gold films are subject to femtosecond pump-probe transmission measurements which show relaxation dynamics of optically excited electrons. The transient data show two distinct exponential decays where the shorter decay switches sign depending if plasmonic or non-plasmonic excitation is used. We attribute this to the qualitatively different spatial distributions of the absorbed energy in these cases. 10:40 - 12:40 — Estepona Session 2A8 SP7. Current Advances in Electromagnetics of Metal and HRI dielectric nanostructures Organized by: Jose A. Sanchez-Gil, Francisco Gonzalez and Fernando Moreno Chaired by: Jose A. Sanchez-Gil, Francisco Gonzalez and Fernando Moreno 10:40 : Invited talk Metasurface Generation of Accelerating Light Meredith A. Henstridge, Carl Pfeiffer, Di Wang, Alexandra Boltasseva, Vladimir Shalaev, Anthony Grbic, Roberto Merlin University of Michigan (USA) We demonstrate a compact, planar-optic approach for the generation of accelerating near-IR laser pulses by illuminating metasurfaces consisting of plasmonic nanoantennas patterned onto a glass substrate. Two accelerating beam trajectories were generated within the glass and imaged onto a CCD, close agreement is shown with theory. The simplicity and compactness of the proposed planar-optics approach to generating accelerating beams opens new opportunities in the realization of accelerating beams and related devices for advanced manipulation of light. 11:00 : Invited talk Graphene as a tunable plasmonic metasurface with transformation optics Paloma Arroyo Huidobro, Matthias Kraft, Stefan A. Maier, John B. Pendry Imperial College London (United Kingdom) We demonstrate a tunable plasmonic metasurface by considering a graphene sheet subject to a periodically patterned doping level. By extracting the effective conductivity of the sheet we characterize metasurfaceswith periodic conductivity modulations and demonstrate a metasurface with an isotropic response that is independent of wave polarization and orientation. 97 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 11:20 : Invited talk Active Semiconductor THz metasurfaces Jaime Gomez Rivas, A. Batthacharya, G. Georgiou, A. Halpin Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (The Netherlands) In this contribution we demonstrate an all-optical active control of the excitation of THz resonant structures and surface waves on flat semiconductor surfaces. This control is achieved by the photo-generation of resonant conducting structures on the semiconductor with the illumination of an optical pump beam. 11:40 : Invited talk Integration of metallic and dielectric nanostructures in silicon waveguides: properties and applications Alejandro Martinez Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain) In this work, we show recent advances related to the integration of metallic and dielectric scatterers into dielectric waveguides created on a silicon chip at telecom wavelengths. We show that dielectric scatterers placed in the waveguide proximity can be employed as polarization-sensitive nanoantennas. We also show that subwavelength metallic elements can be efficiently coupled to silicon waveguides by inserting them in a gap etched in the waveguide. 12:00 : Invited talk Quantum plasmons on topological particle surface Vincenzo Giannini Imperial College London (United Kingdom) We show that topological insulators nanoparticles sustain a new kind of excitation when interacting with light. This is a topological localized surface plasmon polariton obtained perturbing the nanoparticle surface electron state with light.We show that topological insulators nanoparticles sustain a new kind of excitation when interacting with light.

Kazansky1 , Javier Aizpurua1 , Andrei Borisov3 1 Donostia International Physics center DIPC (Spain), 2 Centro de Fisica de Materiales (Spain), 3 Universite Paris Sud (France) Plasmonic resonances can be strongly affected by quantum effects. We extend here previous work on quantum phenomena that can be observed on the linear optical response of these systems to non-linear processes. We demonstrate that polarizing metallic particles by an external static field allows modifying their non-linear optical response at optical frequencies, as desired for active control of plasmonic resonances. 10:40 - 12:40 — Benalmadena Session 2A9 SP6. Quantum plasmonics and metamaterials Organized by: Humeyra Caglayan and Serkan Ates Chaired by: Humeyra Caglayan and Serkan Ates 10:40 : Invited talk Controlling quantum states of light with plasmonic metamaterials Mark Tame University of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) I will present recent work on an experimental demonstration of quantum state filtering, also known as entan98 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 glement distillation, using a passive metamaterial. The metamaterial can be used to distill highly entangled states from less entangled states. I will also discuss the embedding of emitters into metamaterials in order to enhance functionality and provide dynamic nonlinear control. 11:00 : Invited talk Hybrid nanophotonics and light-matter interaction Femius Koenderink FOM Institute AMOLF (The Netherlands) Plasmonic antennas and modest-Q dielectric cavities can be combined into hybrid nanophotonic structures with very high Purcell factors, essentially providing plasmonic mode volumes at cavity Q’s up to 103. I discuss the subtle underlying hybridization physics both in context of this proposal for quantum optics, and in context of our experiments on microtoroid cavities coupled to antenna arrays that probe both cavity shifts and antenna polarizability changes. Furthermore I present progress in scatterometry measurement methods on single nanophotonic systems. 11:20 : Invited talk Exploring nm-scale plasmonic cavities through light Jeremy J. Baumberg, Anna Lombardi Cambridge University (United Kingdom) We deeply explore plasmonic coupling through reliable bottom-up self-assembly, namely nanoparticles deposited on a metal mirror with different spacers in bewteen, and DNA-origami-based dimers. The investigation of these systems, extremely sensitive to the physical properties of the separation gap, give new insights into plasmonic and quantum plasmonic properties at the nanoscale. 11:40 : Invited talk Broadband Purcell enhancement in highly efficient photonic nanowire-based single-photon sources Niels Gregersen1 , Dara P. S. McCutcheon1 , Jesper Mork1 , Julien Claudon2 , Jean-Michel Gerard2 1 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark), 2 CEA (France) The photonic nanowire single-photon source design approach allows for efficient broadband coupling between a quantum dot and a 1D photonic environment. In this work, we introduce weak cavity effects to the design by implementing a distributed Bragg reflector in the inverted taper. This leads to broadband enhancement of the photon emission rate with a Purcell factor of 6 over a full-width half-maximum range of 20 nm while maintaining a total outcoupling efficiency of 0.8 to a Gaussian profile. 12:00 : Invited talk Quantum metamaterials as active lasing medium: Effects of disorder Michael Marthaler, Martin Koppenhofer, Gerd Schon Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) A metamaterial formed by superconducting circuits or quantum dots can serve as active lasing medium when coupled to a cavity. In contrast to real atoms, for artifical atoms variations in their parameters cannot be avoided. We examine the influence of disorder on such a multi-atom lasing setup. We find that the lasing process evolves into a self-organized stationary state that is quite robust against disorder. 12:20 : Invited talk Light Emission in Nanogap Emitting Devices: efficiency issues R. Faggiani1 , J. Yang2 , P. Lalanne1 1 Institut d’Optique (France), 2 Stanford University (USA) In this contribution, we clarify through analytical derivations in the limit of small gap thickness why in nanogap antennas, quenching is not necessarily dominant at small gap thickness, why quantum emitters may offer good efficiencies, what are the circumstances in which high efficiency is obtained, and whether there exists an upper bound for the maximum efficiency achievable in nanogap antennas. 10:40 - 12:40 — Mijas 99 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Session 2A10 SP14.

Saenz 10:40 : Invited talk Controlling and probing weak colloidal interactions with complex laser light fields Frank Scheffold University of Fribourg (Switzerland) I will discuss a several examples how we can manipulate and probe soft interactions between small, submicron colloidal spheres using optical means such as lasers, fluorescence and scattering. 11:00 : Invited talk Optical tweezers unveil new physics: Nonadditivity of critical Casimir forces and failure of Jarzynski equality in active baths Giovanni Volpe Bilkent University (Turkey) Since their invention, optical tweezers have been employed to uncover new physics. Here, I will discuss two recent experiments: the experimental demonstration of the failure of Jerzynski equality in active baths, and the experimental demonstration of the existence of many-body effects in critical Casimir forces. 11:20 : Invited talk Hybridization of Optical Forces Onofrio M. Marago Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy) After an introduction to optical forces with a focus on the role of shape and aggregation, we present some experiments on optical trapping of core-shell nanoparticles and plasmonic mesocapsules. Thus, we discuss how material hybridization can promote accurate control of mechanical effects of light. In particular, we investigate models for laser cooling of hybrid plasmon-exciton systems and frequency-dependent optical forces on oligomers (meta-molecules). 11:40 : Invited talk The effective medium in disordered waveguides: the role of evanescent modes Miztli Yepez1 , Juan Jose Saenz2 1 Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa (Mexico), 2 Donostia International Physics Center (Spain) We study the wave propagation through a disordered slab inside a waveguide of finite width. In the dense weak-scattering limit, the statistics for the complex reflection and transmission coefficients of the coherent field depend on two characteristic lengths, leading to an effective refractive index, whose real part is quite sensitive to the evanescent modes. The theoretical predictions, derived within the Born series method, are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. 12:00 : Invited talk Light generation and scattering in a photonic network of sub-wavelength nanofibres Riccardo Sapienza King’s College London (United Kingdom) One of the outstanding challenges of nanophotonic systems combining emitters with nanostructured media is the selective channelling of photons emitted by embedded sources into specific optical modes and their transport at distant locations in integrated systems. Here we discuss coupling experiments in plasmonic networks and electrospun nanofibres networks. 12:20 : Invited talk Everything is connected with everything: Can the study and tools of complex network theory tell us something about mesoscopic physics?

The particles under discussion are spherical or spheroidal, and the anisotropy to be treated is radial. The concepts of bulbic and porcupic anisotropies bring forth a distinction which has interesting repercussions in the global response of the particle. Furthermore, the generalization of radial anisotropy into systropic material response will be discussed. 14:30 : Invited talk Thermal Radiation from Semiconductor Hyperbolic Metamaterials Salvatore Campione1 , Francois Marquier2 , Jean-Paul Hugonin2 , A. Robert Ellis1 , John Klem1 , Michael Sinclair1 , Ting Luk1 1 Sandia National Laboratories (USA), 2 Universite Paris Sud (France) We investigate the thermal radiation properties of semiconductor hyperbolic metamaterials. We show that, in proximity of epsilon-near-zero conditions, directional and monochromatic thermal radiation is achieved. Different properties are observed for s and p polarizations, following the characteristics of the strong anisotropy of hyperbolic metamaterials. 14:50 : Invited talk Controlling quantum photonics with metamaterials Mikhail Y. Shalaginov1 , Simeon Bogdanov1 , Vadim V. Vorobyov2 , Jing Liu3 , Alexei Lagutchev1 , Alexander Kildishev1 , Joseph Irudayaraj1 , Alexandra Boltasseva1 , Alexey Akimov2 , Vladimir M. Shalaev1 1 Purdue University (USA), 2 Russian Quantum Center (Russia), 3 South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (USA) Building a robust light-matter interface is a challenging task in the field of quantum photonics. In this talk, we present our advances in controlling the emission of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds. The broadband emission enhancement was implemented by coupling NV centers to hyperbolic metamaterials composed of novel CMOS-compatible plasmonic materials. Further, we discuss how Purcell enhancement of the optical transition affects the optical readout of the NV spin-state. These findings could be helpful for engineering integrated quantum registers. 15:10 : Invited talk 101 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Dielectric singularity in hyperbolic metamaterials: the inversion point of coexisting anisotropies Vincenzo Caligiuri1 , Rakesh Dhama1 , Kandammathe Valiyaveedu Sreekanth2 , Giuseppe Strangi2 , Antonio De Luca1 1 University of Calabria (Italy), 2 Case Western Reserve University (USA) We report on the realization and characterization of an extreme hyperbolic metamaterial in which coexisting type I/type II anisotropies completely reverse at the so called canalization wavelength”, lying in the visible range. Spectroscopic ellipsometry confirms the simultaneous type I/type II response of the obtained structure. Confocal microscopy experiments, conducted at the canalization wavelength, confirm the supercollimation effect and the perfect lens behaviour. Numerical simulations are found to be in very good agreement with experiments. 14:00 - 15:40 — Ronda Session 2A12 SP2. Acoustic, Mechanical and Thermal Metamaterials Organized by: Mohamed Farhat and Sebastien Guenneau Chaired by: Mohamed Farhat and Sebastien Guenneau 14:00 : Invited talk Locally resonant acoustic metamaterials beyond homogenization: subwavelength control of waves, slow waves, negative index and other exotic phenomena Nadege Kaina, Fabrice Lemoult, Mathias Fink, Geoffroy Lerosey Institut Langevin (France) Starting from the very simple example of a soda can metamaterial (an acoustic medium made of Helmholtz resonators), we explain the propagation of waves in locally resonant media without claiming homogenized parameters. This allows to highlight the importance of multiple scattering even at this deep subwavelength scale where usually the quasi-static approximation is performed. This then permits to envisage exotic phenomena such as subwavelength control of waves, slow waves or even negative refraction with a single negative medium. 14:20 : Invited talk Acoustic resonator systems with topological semimetal phases Zhaoju Yang, Baile Zhang Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) We propose an approach of constructing acoustic topological semimetal phases in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) systems by stacking one-dimensional dimerized chains as building blocks. The 2D acoustic system exhibits Dirac points with nonzero winding number. The 3D acoustic system exhibits Weyl nodes with by nonzero Chern number. For stacked 3D slab structures, topologically protected chiral surface states localize at the boundaries, which, can trace out the trajectories of Fermi Arcs, similar to previous observations in condensed-matter Weyl semimetals. 14:40 : Keynote talk Wave Control with space-time transformations Mathias Fink Institut Langevin (France) Because time and space play a similar role in wave propagation, wave control in complex media can be achieved or by manipulating spatial boundaries or by manipulating time boundaries. Here we first emphasize the role of time boundaries manipulation. We show that sudden changes of the medium properties generate instant wave sources that emerge instantaneously from the entire wavefield and can be used to control this wavefield. We will also discussed a dual approach to control a wavefield in reverberating medium by introducing tunable metasurfaces as controllable spatial boundaries. 102 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 15:10 : Applications of Local Resonances in Civil Engineering Seismic Protection Bogdan Ungureanu1 , Younes Achaoui1 , Stephane Brule2 , Stefan Enoch1 , Sebastien Guenneau1 1 Aix Marseille Universite (France), 2 Dynamic Soil Laboratory (France) A cubic array of 3D inertial resonators, numerically investigated because of its potential to block bulk waves, gives new applications of metamaterials, using local resonances for seismic protection and seismic waves damping. We analyze rotational and bending resonance modes with 3 different variations on ligament number and size. Inertial resonators induce low frequency band gaps, which are relevant for seismic protection in sedimentary basins. 15:25 : Total transmission super-resolution imaging with a hyperbolic elastic metamaterial Hyuk Lee1 , Joo Hwan Oh1 , Hong Min Seung1 , Seung Hyun Cho2 , Yoon Young Kim1 1 Seoul National University (Korea), 2 Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (Korea) Here we realize total transmission subwavelength imaging with a hyperbolic metamaterial lens. The elastic parameters (mass density and stiffness) are delicately tuned and realized with our explicit analytical method by a mass-spring model. The essential conditions for super-resolution (by hyperbolic dispersion relation with negative effective mass density) and total transmission (by extremely large effective stiffness) are successfully realized. The fabricatied metamaterial lens is capable of resolving subwavelength lowest symmetric Lamb waves. 14:00 - 16:10 — Nerja Session 2A13 SP6. Quantum plasmonics and metamaterials Organized by: Humeyra Caglayan and Serkan Ates Chaired by: Humeyra Caglayan and Serkan Ates 14:00 : Invited talk Quantum Optics with One-Dimensional Artificial Atoms Niccolo Somaschi1 , V. Giesz1 , L. De Santis1 , G. Hornecker2 , T. Grange2 , B. Reznychenko2 , J. Demory1 , C. Gomez1 , I. Sagnes1 , A. Lemaitre1 , L. Lanco1 , A. Auffeves2 , P. Senellart1 1 Laboratoire de Photonique et de Nanostructures (France), 2 Universite Grenoble Alpes (France) In a quantum network the quantum information is coherently transferred between material nodes and photonic channels. One of the main challenges to implement such a network is to control the light-matter interaction at the single photon level: one atom acting as stationary quantum bit should deterministically control the state of a photon, and vice versa. This can be obtained in a so-called one-dimensional system, where a single atom interacts only with a single and well-defined mode of the electromagnetic field. 14:20 : Invited talk Quantum Photonics David Zueco, Eduardo Sanchez-Burillo, Juanjo Garcia-Ripoll, Luis Martin-Moreno Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) We discuss our approach for describing few photons and few scatterersat the quantum level, both analytically and numerically. Our tools are applied to Raman, downconversion, entanglement generation and nonlinear phases gates at the single photon level. We also discuss how to implement our ideas in circuit QED. 14:40 : Invited talk Single solid-state quantum emitters for plasmonics X. Wu1 , P. Jiang1 , H. Zhang2 , M. Pfeiffer2 , K. Lindfors2 , A. Rastelli3 , O. G. Schmidt3 , M. Lippitz1 1 University of Bayreuth (Germany), 2 Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (Germany), 3 Institute for Integrative Nanosciences (Germany) Plasmonics promises to enable sub-wavelength photonics and quantum optics. Quantum emitters have to be integrated to provide single photons and ultimate optical nonlinearites. We present our recent work on 103 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 coupling GaAs quantum dots to localized and propagating plasmon modes. 15:00 : Invited talk Quasinormal mode approach to modelling light-matter interactions in quantum-dot plasmonic resonator systems Stephen Hughes Queen’s University (Canada) We present an intuitive and efficient quasinormal mode (QNMs) approach to modelling quantum light-matter interactions in hybrid systems of quantum-dots (or artificial atoms) and plasmonic resonators. We first explore the semiclassical regime of enhanced spontaneous emission and radiative quenching for a selection of plasmonic resonators including metal nanorods, nanorod dimers, and hyperbolic metamaterial structures. Second, we study the quantum dynamics using a time-local master equation, and study regimes of single photon emission, two quantum-dot entanglement and nonlinear photoluminescence. 15:20 : Keynote talk Quantum Phenomena in Hybrid Nanostructures: Exciton-Plasmon Interactions and the Quantum Structure of the Plasmon Excitations Alexander Govorov Ohio University (USA) The talk will review quantum effects predicted and observed in hybrid nanostructures composed of metal and semiconductor components. Strong interactions between excitons, plasmons and phonons in hybrid geometries lead to the Fano interference effects, which were observed experimentally as an appearance of an optical transparency window. In purely plasmonic structures, the quantum effects in confined geometries lead to the peculiar structure of the wave function of a plasmon and to the generation of hot plasmonic electrons. 15:50 : Invited talk Photonic Integrated Circuits with On-Chip Single-Photon Emitters Peter Michler University of Stuttgart (Germany) In quantum photonics the full on-chip integration of major optical components, like beamsplitters, singlephoton sources and detectors are currently one of the main goals. Here, we present our progress on the implementation of In(Ga)As quantum dots as single-photon sources in on-chip GaAs/AlGaAs waveguide structures. Photon cross-correlation measurements between the two output arms of an on-chip beamsplitter demonstrate the generation, guiding and splitting of triggered single photons under resonant excitation in an on-chip device. 14:00 - 15:40 — Antequera Session 2A14 Symposium: Hybrid Plasmonics and Functional Nanomaterials Organized by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov Chaired by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov 14:00 : Invited talk Infrared and THz plasmonics using nano-engineered gold structures Kosei Ueno Hokkaido University (Japan) Terahertz (THz) wave has received considerable attention for use in many applications such as transmission imaging and fingerprint spectra with an important contribution in the bioengineering and security field. We are interested in THz spectroscopy for a molecular science study because the energy of THz wave is almost corresponding to that of intermolecular interaction such as hydrogen bonding or van der Waals force. 104 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 14:20 : Invited talk Spatial localization of plasmonic hot spots as probed by molecular nanomotors and atomic force microscopy Yinping Zhang1 , Jerome Plain1 , Davy Gerard1 , Guillaume Demesy2 , Nicolas Bonod2 , Renaud Bachelot1 1 Universite de Technologie de Troyes (France), 2 Institut Fresnel (France) Plasmonic hot spots can trigger molecular displacements. In this approach azobenzene-like molecules, covalently grafted onto a polymeric backbone, are used as optical nanomotors that act as local molecular probes of electromagnetic phenomena. The resulting local optically-induced motion is characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy. We used this unique method for visualizing tunable plasmonic hot spots at the gaps of plasmonic trimers in the near infrared. 14:40 : Invited talk Plexitonic QED: Strong coupling effect in absorption and photoluminescence spectra of hybrid systems of gold nanorods and J-aggregates Dzmitry Melnikau1 , Ruben Esteban2 , Diana Savateeva3 , Ana Sanchez-Iglesias3 , Marek Grzelczak3 , Mikolaj Schmidt1 , Luis Liz-Marzan3 , Javier Aizpurua1 , Yury P. Rakovich1 1 CSIC (Spain), 2 DIPC (Spain), 3 CIC BiomaGUNE (Spain) We investigated the interactions between localized plasmons in gold nanorods and excitons in J-aggregates and were able to track an anticrossing behavior of the hybridized modes both in the extinction and in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of this hybrid system. We followed the evolution of the two PL peaks as the plasmon energy was detuned from the excitonic resonance. Both extinction and PL results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions. 15:00 : Invited talk Modal engineering in plasmonic crystalline colloidal systems Upkar Kumar1 , Sviatlana Viarbitskaya1 , Aurelien Cuche1 , Alexandre Bouhelier2 , Gerard Francs2 , Jadab Sharma1 , Christian Girard1 , Erik Dujardin1 1 Universite Federale de Toulouse (France), 2 Universite de Bourgogne (France) We report on the engineering of the spatial and spectral distributions of plasmon modes in mesoscale 2D crystalline colloids by physical reshaping and dimer assembly. This approach allows us to match the plasmonic characteristics of the complex metallic structure to the specifications of emitters, for example, in order to optimize the resulting in hybrid plasmonics device. 15:20 : Invited talk High Resolution Technique for Simultaneous Proteins and Nanoparticles Patterning Lourdes Basabe-Desmonts University of the Basque Country (Spain) We present a novel methodology to create micro-scaled patterns of gold nanoparticles (GNP) adjacent to micro-scaled patterns of proteins on a planar substrate. This methodology is the combination of microfluidic vacuum soft lithography and micro-contact printing. Such multicomponent patterns enabled controlled cell adhesion on discrete locations surrounded by GNP. Given the inherent properties of GNP, which may act as optical sensors and topographic cues, these high-resolution multicomponent patterns could enable new cellular studies with high spatio-temporal resolution. 14:00 - 14:40 — Fuengirola Session 2A15 SP8.

Several metasurface-based THz devices, includinglens, computer generated holograms, spin selected focusing lens, as well aswavelength selected diffractive elements, have been demonstrated. The thicknessof these device is only 1/4000 of the working wavelength. A THz focusing planeimaging system is employed to characterize the function devices. Experimentalresults verified the theoretical expectations. 14:20 : Invited talk Active Photonic Devices Based on Metasurfaces Integrated with Phase-Transition Correlated Perovskites Zhaoyi Li1 , You Zhou2 , Hao Qi3 , Qiwei Pan3 , Norman Nan Shi1 , Ming Lu4 , Aaron Stein4 , Christopher Y.

Broadband modulation (l=400nm-17um) is demonstrated using thin-film SmNiO3, and narrowband modulation is realized with metasurfaces integrated with SmNiO3. 14:40 - 16:00 — Fuengirola Session 2A16 SP34. Fano resonances in optics and microwaves: Physics and application Organized by: Eugene Kamenetskii Chaired by: Eugene Kamenetskii 14:40 : Invited talk Fano resonances, their relation to exceptional points, and applications Holger Cartarius1 , L. Schwarz1 , G. Wunner1 , W. D. Heiss2 , J. Main1 1 University of Stuttgart (Germany), 2 University of Stellenbosch (South Africa) We show for a model Hamiltonian that the interference of the first and second order pole of the Green’s function at an exceptional point, as well as the interference of the first order poles in the vicinity of the exceptional point, gives rise to asymmetric scattering cross section profiles which are well described by the Beutler-Fano formula, and thus are genuine Fano resonances. An outlook to possible applications in optics is given. 15:00 : Invited talk Highly contrasted structural colors for industrial applications using the Fano lineshape Benjamin Gallinet CSEM (Switzerland) The fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures using up-scalable and cost-efficient processes is reported. Their optical response features the characteristic Fano lineshape, which allows them to generate strong structural colors. Wafer-scale fabrication and process compatibility with roll-to-roll embossing are demonstrated, which paves the road towards their industrial implementation. These plasmonic nanostructures are expected to be used in particular for anticounterfeiting, optical security and solar light management. 15:20 : Invited talk Modal Fano resonances and off-diagonal photonic Lamb shift in reactively coupled waveguide-resonator systems Mher Ghulinyan1 , M. Bernard1 , F. Ramiro Manzano2 , G. Pucker1 , L. Pavesi2 , I. Carusotto2 1 Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Italy), 2 University of Trento (Italy) We will report on a joint theoretical and experimental study of Fano resoances, in particular, an analogue of 106 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 the Lamb shift in an integrated photonic device. The presence of a neighboring waveguide induces a reactive intermode coupling in the resonator, analogous to an off-diagonal Lamb shift from atomic physics. A non-linear model for a dynamicall tuning of the Fano lineshapes is developed and demonstrated experimentally. 15:40 : Invited talk The nanofabrication and unusual Fano resonances of 3D metamaterials Changzhi Z.

We show that the extreme light scattering properties of these novel nanostructured materials lead to strongly enhanced Raman and photoluminescence emission, which are driven by multiple light scattering phenomena and are correlated on all length scales, according to the refractive index fluctuations. 14:15 : Light trapping and extinction in large random aggregates of particles.

As a case study we apply this approach to the investigation of the outstanding optical properties, in terms of light trapping eciency and light localization eects, of a two-dimensional random array ofthin Si nanowires arranged in a fractal geometry. 14:30 - 16:10 — Estepona 107 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Session 2A18 SP7.

Sanchez-Gil, Francisco Gonzalez and Fernando Moreno 14:30 : Invited talk Modelling of phase change material based tunable meta-materials Dmitry N. Chigrin Aachen University (Germany) Active tunability, switching or non-linearity of meta-material properties can be achieved by altering of the meta-atom materials. These include among others, meta-materials based on phase-change materials, whose properties could be altered by thermal or photo-thermal means. In this presentation, our recent results on design and modeling of active meta-materials based on plasmonic and phononic materials and incorporating phase-change materials as active elements will be discussed. 14:50 : Invited talk Towards large-scale highly sensitive substrates for surface enhanced spectroscopies Pierre Michel Adam Universite de Technologie Troyes (France) Nanoplasmonics concerns the excitation, manipulation and detection of the surface plasmons at the nanometric scale. It has highly potential applications for ultrasensitive biochemical sensing. Surface enhanced spectroscopies are the ultimate sensor tools as they can reach single molecule sensitivity. We will present in this paper our latest results towards the realization of highly controllable and reproducible nanoplasmonics substrates. 15:10 : Hybrid optoplasmonic platforms for sensing, spectroscopy, energy transfer, and radiative cooling Svetlana V. Boriskina1 , Jonathan K. Tong1 , Gang Chen1 , Wonmi Ahn2 , Yan Hong2 , Xin Zhao2 , Bjoern Reinhard2 1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), 2 Boston University (USA) I will discuss hybrid optoplasmonic architectures to tailor energy transfer between photons, plasmons, quantum emitters and heat carriers. Among the emergent properties of optoplasmonic structures is their ability to combine spectral and spatial light localization, enabling ultrasensitive schemes for optical detection. Hybrid systems can also be designed to provide passive cooling. A combination of strong light localization and spectral selectivity achievable under lower operating temperatures in optoplasmonic devices yields many applications in detection, spectroscopy, imaging, and radiative cooling. 15:25 : Tuning the plasmonic resonances of metallic nanoparticles for thermal applications Juana Gabriela Calvillo Vazquez, Eugenio Mendez CICESE (Mexico) The resonant absorption of light in metallic nanoparticles can be used to transform them into switchable nanosources of heat. Modications of the shape of the nanoparticle permit also the tuning of the resonance to a specic wavelength. In this work, we study the evolution of the absorption peaks as the dimensions of a rectangular prism nanoparticle made of gold are changed. 15:40 : Analysis of directionality effects in magnetodielectric core-shell nanoparticles by means of polarimetric techniques Angela Inmaculada Barreda, Yael Gutierrez Vela, Juan Marcos Sanz, Francisco Gonzalez, Fernando Moreno University of Cantabria (Spain) The influence of increasing the core size of a Ag-Si core-shell nanoparticle has been investigated by using the values of the linear polarization degree at right angle scattering configuration, PL(90). Changes in dipolar resonances and Scattering Directionality Conditions as a function of the core radius (Rint) for a fixed shell 108 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 size (Rext=230 nm) have been analyzed. An empirical formula to obtain the ratio Rint/Rext by monitoring the influence of the magnetic dipolar resonance in PL(90) has been found. 15:55 : Subwavelength flat-lensing of hybrid nanowire metamaterial with low-loss, isotropic optical negative-index behavior Diego R.

Single nanowires exhibit negative electric and magnetic responses stemming from the spectral overlap of the lowest magnetic resonance of the dielectric shell with the plasmon resonance of the metal core. Properties extracted from photonic band structure confirm the structure behaves as a low-loss, isotropic (2D) and bulk, optical negative index metamaterial, this is further demonstrated through numerical simulations of flat-lense focusing. 14:00 - 15:40 — Benalmadena Session 2A19 SP22. Microcavity Polaritons: fundamental physics and devices Organized by: Alberto Bramati Chaired by: Benoit Deveaud 14:00 : Invited talk Discrete vortex solitons in polariton lattices Natalia Berloff Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Russia) I show that exciton-polariton condensates arranged in lattices are capable of supporting novel types of vortex states such as spontaneous discrete vortex solitons. Such discrete vortex statesdescribe spatially localized circular energy flows that carry a nontrivial angular momentum between the lattice sites. 14:20 : Invited talk Manipulating and controlling polariton superfluid vortices Simon Pigeon Queen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom) We report recent advances concerning the control of topological excitations in out-of-equilibrium microcavity polariton superfluids. These excitations, which include vortices and solitons that may be created on the vicinity of a localised potential barrier, propagate along the direction of the polariton flow but can also be optically trapped, as has been shown. Here we present the next step in controlling these fundamental excitations, reporting an optical method to (i) enhance their propagation, and (ii) control their interaction strengths. 14:40 : Invited talk Spatio-temporal polariton phenomena in GaAs-based slab waveguides with giant optical nonlinearity P.

We report the experimental observation of temporal bright polariton solitons formed at ultra-low excitation powers confirming giant optical nonlinearity of polariton system. Spatio-temporal modulational instability and dark-bright solitons are also investigated. 109 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 15:00 : Invited talk Dynamic Control of Polariton States in Spin-Orbit Poincare Spheres using Ultrafast Stark Pulses Emiliano Cancellieri, F. Li, G. Buonaiuto, D. N. Krizhanovskii, M. S. Skolnick, D. M. Whittaker University of Sheffield (United Kingdom) In this work we demonstrate the complete dynamical control of polariton spin-vortex states, with orbital angular momentum equal to plus or minus one, on a Poincare sphere and among different ones. More specifically, we use red-detuned ultrafast Stark pulses to modulate, in time, the energy of the excitonic resonances. This, due to the double light-matter nature of cavity polaritons, allows controlling the phase and the state of polarization of the polariton field. 15:20 : Invited talk Ultra-strong coupling with the free space: the superradiance Carlo Sirtori, A.

The suspended gold NW can be pull down by electrostatic force induced by applying voltage to the NW. Such electromechanical response dramatically changes the plasmonic resonance between the NW and the substrate. We observe the change of scattering spectra, which is attributed to Fabry-Perot interference of surface plasmon inside the gap. 110 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 15:00 : Invited talk CMOS copper plasmonic nanocircuitry Dmitry Yu. Fedyanin, Dmitry I. Yakubovsky, Roman V. Kirtaev, Valentyn S Volkov Laboratory of Nanooptics and Plasmonics (Russia) Plasmonics is widely considered to be the most promising candidate for the next generation of chip-scale technology. However, at telecommunication wavelengths, characteristics acceptable for practical implementation have been demonstrated only with noble metals, which are not compatible with industry-standard fabrication processes. In this work, we present ultralow-loss deep-subwavelength copper plasmonic waveguides fabricated in a CMOS compatible process, which can outperform gold waveguides. These results create the backbone for practical implementation of plasmonic nanocircuits in silicon photonics and silicon microelectronics. 15:20 : Invited talk Plasmonic vector near-field for composite interference, SPP switches and optical simulators Tao Li, Yulin Wang, Qingqing Cheng, Shining Zhu Nanjing University (China) Plasmonics offers people not only the strong field confinement and field enhancement within nanostructures, but also a versatile configuration of the vector near-field. Here, we would like to show several interesting optical phenomena arising from the vector field coupling effect. One is the composite interference of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) within two crossed strip waveguides, and the other is optical simulations for massless Dirac Fermion and topological interface states. 15:40 : VO2-driven switchable-beam directional antenna for micro/nano scale optical communications Eesa Rahimi Sabanci University (Turkey) In this study, we propose a switchable-beam directional antenna for micro/nano scale intrachip optical communications. Vanadium dioxide phase transition controls antenna’s beam by affecting director’s resonance frequency in a Yagi-Uda array and transforming them to reflector elements. A considerable gain manipulation is achievable by this method depending on array size. 15:55 : Interaction of quantum dots and plasmonic nanoparticle dimers Marija Gasparic, Andreas Hohenau, Ulrich Hohenester, Joachim R. Krenn University of Graz (Austria) The coupling of single photon emitters like quantum dots (QDs) and metal nanoparticles (MNPs) give us the possibility to investigate light matter interaction. Our study is focused on developing a plasmon enhanced photo detector using a (single) QD and MNPs. Resonant MNPs generate an enhanced near field that strongly influences the absorption rate of the QDs placed in the MNPs’ vicinity. 14:00 - 15:45 — Sierra Nevada Session 2A21 GEN5.

Enhancement has been quantified through simulations of the structures and 111 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 then verified experimentally. Polarised microscopy has been utilised to show the dynamic reconfiguration of the nanocomposites under the influence of an applied electric field. 14:15 : Electro-modulation spectroscopy of electronic band structure for MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 crystals and single layers Robert Kudrawiec1 , J. Kopaczek1 , M. Welna1 , M. Baranowski1 , M. Polak1 , P. Scharoch1 , K. Wu2 , B. Chen2 , S. Tongay2 1 Wroclaw University of Technology (Poland), 2 Arizona State University (USA) Electro-modulated reflectance (contactless electroreflectance (CER) and photoreflectance (PR)) has been applied to study direct optical transitions in MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 crystals and single layers. For bulk crystals spectral features related to optical transitions at K and H point of Brillouin zone have been clearly observed in CER and PR spectra. Due to reduction of crystal size to a few layers spectral features related to optical transitions at H point disappear that is very consistent with theoretical predictions. 14:30 : Correlative Microscopy for 2D Material Characterization Ute Schmidt1 , Elena Bailo2 , David Steinmetz1 , Thomas Dieing1 1 WITec GmbH (Germany), 2 WITec GmbH (Spain) Raman imaging is a non-destructive and highly sensitive technique for the differentiation of layers, stacking, chirality, and defects in graphene and transition metal dichalogenides (TMDs). The information obtained from Raman imaging can be complemented by other techniques such as Photoluminescence (PL), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) or Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In this contribution various examples of correlative studies will be presented, all having been acquired using a single correlative microscopy platform. 14:45 : Plasmon Characteristics of Chemically-Doped Graphene Revealed by Near-Field Optical Nanoscopy Zebo Zheng, Huanjun Chen Sun Yat-sen University (China) In this study, we cultivated the near-field optical properties of chemically-doped graphene with improved surface plasmon characteristics. By using a scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM), we showed that the plasmons of the graphene can be improved by chemical doping. Furthermore, the plasmonrelated characteristics, including the plasmon wavelengths and damping rates, can be obtained from the near-field plasmonic fringes observed in the graphene. The experimental findings were further corroborated by theoretical results from density functional theory (DFT). 15:00 : Single-particle plasmonic structures reveal extrinsic chirality Vladimir E. Bochenkov1 , D. S. Sutherland2 1 Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), 2 Aarhus University (Denmark) The concept of extrinsic chirality, i.e. optical activity of nonchiral media exhibited at oblique illumination, is generalized to include single-particle plasmonic nanostructures. We observe circular dichroism in irregular arrays of two different types of metallic nanostructures, non-concentric rings and asymmetrically stacked disks, in the visible and near-infrared regions. By using computer simulations, we show that extrinsic chirality in these systems is, importantly, due to individual nonchiral particles. We propose a mechanism for the chiroptical response of single-particle plasmonic structures. 15:15 : Design of Planar Chiral Metamaterials for Near Infrared Regime Sabri Kaya, Mustafa Turkmen, Omer Topaktas Erciyes University (Turkey) Planar chiral metamaterials comprising double-layer dielectric-metal-dielectric resonant structures in the shape of a windmill are presented for near-infrared regime. The circular dichroism is retrieved from transmission spectra. The dependence of spectral characteristics on the geometrical parameters of the planar chiral metamaterials is analyzed by the finite-difference time-domain method. Due to the enhanced chiroptical near-field response and tunable spectral behavior, proposed PCM arrays may have potential for biosensing applications of chiral biomolecules. 15:30 : Second Harmonic Generation from Sub-Wavelength Triangular Hole Array in Au Thin Film Mizuki Saikawa, Yuta Hachiya, Kengo Iwata, Masakazu Matsubara, Teruya Ishihara 112 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Tohoku University (Japan) Transmitted second harmonic generation (SHG) is investigated for isosceles triangular hole array in 25 nmthick Au film on a quartz substrate. Even at normal incidence, due to lack of inversion symmetry in one direction for the triangular shape, SHG generated at the surface of the hole wall is not cancelled and thus observed. Numerical calculation based on the effective susceptibility formalism is compared to the experimentally observed resonance in SHG excitation spectra. Coffee Break and Exhibit Inspection Session 2P2 Poster session IV 16:00 - 16:40 P1: Graphene three-port circulator Victor Dmitriev, Wagner Castro, Clerisson Nascimento Federal University of Para (Brazil) A new type of the graphene-based three-port circulator is suggested and analysed. The cross-section of the component presents a three-layer structure consisting of silicon, silica and graphene. In-plane figure looks like a common microwave microstrip circulator with a circular graphene resonator with three waveguides symmetrically connected to it. The graphene is magnetized normally to its plane by a DC magnetic field. Numerical simulation at 22.8THz region demonstrates isolation of -15dB and insertion losses of -1dB in 10percent frequency band. P2: Resonance Raman scattering studies of tungsten diselenide (WSe2) Hankyoul Moon, Ja-Yeong Kim, Seokhyun Yoon Ewha Womans University (Korea) Large amount of research has been conducted over transition metal dichalcogenide since production of single- and multi-layerd graphene. These materials exhibit interesting 2-dimensional physics and can be utilized for electronic and optoelectronic devices. For measuring basic characteristic such as lattice properties and information regarding the electronic band structure of the samples, we performed Raman scattering spectroscopy by using five different excitation energies of 457.9nm, 488nm, 514.5nm, 532nm, and 632.8nm and also measured temparature dependence of WSe2. P3: Raman scattering studies of tungsten disulfide (WS2) Jayeong Kim, Hankyoul Moon, Seokhyun Yoon Ewha womans university (Korea) The energence of new facile fabrication techniques of producing the single-and the multi- layered graphene has led to large amount of research over other two-dimensional materials. In this study, we made WS2 samples by exfoliation method. We performed Raman spectroscopy using four different excitation energies in different temperatures to study basic characteristics. We report the low energy modes and anomalous phonon behavior that depends on the number of layers, temperatures, and resonant effect reflecting the underlying electronic band structure. P4: Linear enhancement of the Kerr nonlinear index in the epsilon-near-zero regime Lucia Caspani1 , Rishad Kaipurath1 , Matteo Clerici2 , Marcello Ferrera1 , Thomas Roger1 , Andrea Di Falco3 , Jongbum Kim4 , Nathaniel Kinsey4 , Vladimir Shalaev4 , Alexandra Boltasseva4 , Daniele Faccio1 1 Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom), 2 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 3 University of St. Andrews (United Kingdom), 4 Purdue University (USA) We study the potential for enhanced nonlinear refractive index (n2) that exploits the low complex permittivity attained in the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) regime. Our approach does not resort to optical resonances nor to the enhancement of the longitudinal field component. Experiments performed on Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films show a six-fold increase of the nonlinear refractive index at the ENZ wavelength (=1300 nm). This enhancement, combined with the low losses in the film, may enable studies of non-perturbative nonlinear effects. 113 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 P5: Improvement of Metal-Based THz Patch Antenna Parameters Using Monolayer Graphene Mohammed Taih Gatte, Ping Jack Soh, R. B. Ahmad, Mohd Faizal Jamlos Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Malaysia) Terahertz antennas are highly suited to fulfill the demands of next generation wireless communication, detection, sensing, spectroscopy and imaging devices. The design and implementation of antennas in this frequency band, however, is challenging. To design an efficient THz antenna, a suitable solution is by using nanomaterials. In this paper, monolayer graphene is used to coat the metallic surface of a THz patch antennas. It showed a 10percent improvement for, gain, radiated power and radiation efficiency, besides featuring lower loss. P6: Numerical simulations of nonlinear optical properties of carbon quantum dots embedded in a polymeric matrix Cristian Kusko, Roxana Tomescu, Mihai Kusko National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies (Romania) We calculate using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method the third ordernonlinear response of a nanocomposite consisting in carbon quantum dots (CQD) embedded in apolymeric matrix. We show that due to the intrinsic high Kerr susceptibility presented by CQD, thecomposit exhibits significant nonlinear optical properties suggesting promising applications ofthese materials in photonics. We numerically investigate the optical response of the nanocompositeas a function of CQD’s shape, size, and concentration. P7: Simultaneous Contribution of Ultrafast Interband and Intraband Dynamics in Al:ZnO Clayton DeVault1 , Nathniel Kinsey1 , Matteo Clerici2 , Jongbum Kim1 , Enrico Carnemolla3 , Amr Shaltout1 , Daniele Faccio3 , Vladimir Shalaev1 , Marcello Ferrera3 , Alexandra Boltasseva1 1 Purdue University (USA), 2 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 3 Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom) By engineering the semiconductor-to-metal crossover wavelength of our uniquely grown aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), we demonstrate simultaneous interband and intraband sup-picosecond recombination times in AZO thin films. The two nonlinear responses, driven by optical pulses at a different wavelength, are independent and can be effectively combined to tailor the ultrafast response of optical telecommunication signals, enabling a novel ability to dynamically control nanophotonic devices. P8: Non-Volatile Optoelectronic Phase-Change Meta-Displays Santiago Garcia-Cuevas Carrillo1 , Christopher David Wright1 , Peiman Hosseini2 , Harish Bhaskaran3 1 University of Exeter (United Kingdom), 2 Bodle Technologies (United Kingdom), 3 University of Oxford (United Kingdom) Phase-change materials have a pronounced contrast between their electrical and optical properties when in the amorphous to crystalline phases, and can be switched between these phases quickly and repeatedly by electrical or optical means. These characteristics have very recently been exploited to produce a novel form of non-volatile optoelectronic display technology. In this paper we combine such phase-change display devices with metamaterial arrays, so as to gain additional control over their spectral properties. P9: Photoconductivity of few layer MoTe2 Toby Octon, Karthik Nagareddy, Monica Craciun, David Wright University of Exeter (United Kingdom) A photoconductivity study of few-layer MoTe2 in a field effect transistor (FET) configuration was performed to find the photoresponsivity and photocurrent response of the material. The mechanisms for MoTe2 with no applied gate voltage were found to be dominated by the photovoltaic effect, showing its potential for use in solar cells. Due to the band gap of MoTe2 being 1.1 eV, MoTe2 is a suitable photodetector for optical wavelengths and potentially the near infrared. P10: Graphene-Based Multi-Resonant Metamaterial Absorber in the Terahertz Regime Reza Parvaz, Hamidreza Karami Bu-Ali Sina University (Iran) In this paper we present a multi-resonant Graphene-based perfect absorber in terahertz frequency range. This metal-backed metamaterial absorber consists of a metallic ring resonator positioned on a Graphene micro-ribbon. Afterward we obtain the resonant RLC circuit and investigate the transmission line model. This proposed structure can be highly adapted to suit special requirements that one can manipulate the parame114 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 ters to approach single wideband or multi narrowband resonance. P11: Sensitivity of Graphene-Nonlinear Waveguide Sensors Hala Jarallah El-Khozondar, Mohammed M. Shabat, Rana Khalefa Islamic University of Gaza (Palestine) Sensors are counted by their abilities to measure small changes in the measured quantities. Further, their size and weight are other important factors to consider while designing a sensor. In this work, we proposed a sensor consists of three layers: Dielectric film sandwiched between thin graphene layer topped with air and nonlinear substrate. The dispersion relation for the structure is derived for TE guided modes. The homogenous sensing is calculated using maple 17. P12: Investigations in band structures and electronic transport of GaAs/AlAs nanostructures superlattices for near infrared detection Driss Barkissy, Abdelhakim Nafidi, Abderrazak Boutramine, Keltoum Khallouq, Mohammed Bellioua, Abdelkrim Hannour University Ibn Zohr (Morocco) We investigate here the band structures and electronic transport properties along the growth axis and in the plane of GaAs(d1=2.52 nm)/AlAs(d2=1.16 nm) superlattice based on the envelope function formalism. The effect of the well thickness, the ratio d2/d1 and the temperature on the band structures, have been also studied. This sample has a direct band gap of 1.747 eV at 300K. The corresponding cut-off wavelength indicates that it can be used as near infrared detector. P13: Terahertz Electron-Beam Radiation in Graphene Khwanchai Tantiwanichapan, Xuanye Wang, Anna Swan, Roberto Paiella Boston University (USA) Terahertz light emission based on electron-beam radiation mechanisms in graphene is investigated numerically. Specifically, we consider cyclotron-like emission in sinusoidally corrugated graphene, and the SmithPurcell effect in a planar graphene sheet on a nanoscale dielectric hole array. Technologically significant power levels at geometrically tunable THz frequencies are computed for both device configurations even at room temperature. P14: A subcell technique for numerical analysis of optical properties of graphene metamaterials with the finite-difference time-domain method Ilya Valuev1 , Sergei Belousov1 , Maria Bogdanova1 , Oleg Kotov2 , Yuri Lozovik2 1 Kintech Lab Ltd. (Russia), 2 Institute of Spectroscopy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia) A subcell technique for calculation of optical properties of graphene metamaterials with the finite-difference time-domain method is presented. The technique is applied for analysis of transmission, reflection and absorbtion spectra of various graphene metamaterials, and the results are compared to other theoretical approaches as well as experimental data. The method demonstrates a significantly better numerical efficiency and accuracy than a common approach, where graphene is represented by a thin film. P15: Resonant Visible Light Modulation with Graphene Renwen Yu, Valerio Pruneri, Javier Garcia de Abajo ICFO (Spain) No fundamental limit appears to prevent us from designing wavelength-sized devices capable of controlling the light phase and intensity at terahertz speeds in those spectral ranges. Here we have proposed a solution based upon graphene for fast modulation and switching of light at visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR) frequencies which is of utmost importance for optical signal processing and sensing technologies. P16: The Electromagnetic Chirality of an Object Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Carsten Rockstuhl Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) We introduce a definition of the electromagnetic chirality of an object. The definition allows the absolute ranking of objects according to their chirality and has an upper bound. The common definition of chirality lacks both these features. We study the physical properties of the objects that achieve the upper bound and show that they have promising applications. We discuss two of them: A twofold resonantly enhanced and background free circular dichroism measurement setup and angle independent helicity filtering glasses. 115 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 P17: Concentration and redirection of light in in metal nanoparticle/polymer nanocomposites waveguides Mattia Signoretto1 , I. Suarez1 , R. Abargues2 , P. Rodriguez-Canto2 , V. Chirvony1 , J. Martinez-Pastor1 1 University of Valencia (Spain), 2 Intenanomat S.L (Spain) A nanocomposite made by in situ synthesis of metal nanoparticles (MNP) in the commercially available photoresist novolak (Nv) is proposed as a novel material for integrated optics. Size of MNP is controlled during the fabrication in order to provide a method to tune the absorption/scattering properties of the resulting nanocomposite and its effective refractive index. Practical applications of this nanocomposite are demonstrated. P18: Bandwidth Enhancement of Array Antenna using Double Positive Material of Artificial Magnetic Conductor H. Lago, M. F. Jamlos, P. J. Soh Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Malaysia) Integration of array antenna into a metamaterial of single resonant Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) at 9.41 GHz is proposed. AMC plane stacked array slotted elements have successfully increased the bandwidth and efficiency of antenna to 20.59percent and 96.31percent respectively compared to 4.61percent and 95.91percent without AMC. It is observed that the positive permittivity and high permeability of 9 x 12 AMC rectangular circular-slotted unit cell significantly contributed to such results. P19: Bandwidth Enhancement of Array Antenna using Double Positive Material of Artificial Magnetic Conductor H. Lago, M. F. Jamlos, P. J. Soh Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Malaysia) Integration of array antenna into a metamaterial of single resonant Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) at 9.41 GHz is proposed. AMC plane stacked array slotted elements have successfully increased the bandwidth and efficiency of antenna to 20.59percent and 96.31percent respectively compared to 4.61percent and 95.91percent without AMC. It is observed that the positive permittivity and high permeability of 9 x 12 AMC rectangular circular-slotted unit cell significantly contributed to such results. P20: Controllable Large Circular Dichroism of a Chiral Metasurface Induced by Coupling Localized and Propagating Modes Zeng Wang1 , Yue Wang1 , Giorgio Adamo1 , Bing Hong Teh1 , Qing Yang Steve Wu2 , Jinghua Teng2 , Handong Sun1 1 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 2 A*STAR (Singapore) Herein, we introduce a novel chiral metasurface composed of a chiral arrangement of nanoslits carved in a continuous metal film, in which propagating surface plasmon modes are proved to be powerful tools to control the metasurface’s chiral response. Numerical simulations help us devise a straightforward approach to the measurface’s design and through which, by modifying the coupling between localized and propagating modes, we experimentally achieved controllable and remarkably strong chiral responses. P21: Nitride nanophotonics from the deep ultra-violet to the near infrared: non-linear optics and microlasers Julien Selles1 , Christelle Brimont1 , Brahim Guizal1 , Bruno Gayral2 , Meletios Mexis3 , Fabrice Semond3 , Iannis Roland4 , Yijia Zeng4 , Xavier Checoury4 , Philippe Boucaud4 , Thierry Guillet5 1 Universite de Montpellier France (France), 2 Universite de Grenoble Alpes (France), 3 CRHEA - CNRS (France), 4 Universite Paris Sud (France), 5 Universite de Montpellier (France) The recent developments of nitride nanophotonics, based on photonic crystal membrane nanocavities and microdisk resonators, pave the way to a novel nanophotonic platform. Here we present two recent achievements: first we demonstrate the room-temperature operation of a nitride microlaser emitting in the deep UV spectral range (l=275 nm) with GaN/AlN multiple quantum wells. Secondly we tailor the second-harmonic generation of a cw near infra-red radiation coupled to a high quality factor photonic crystal cavity. P22: Out-of-plane photonic band structures of two-dimensional photonic crystals: a study of the complete band gap Jesus D. Valenzuela-Sau, Raul Garcia-Llamas Universidad de Sonora (Mexico) The out-of-plane photonic band structures (PBSs) of two-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) are calculated. 116 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 We focus the calculation of this study on the behavior of the complete forbidden band gaps. The PC is a rectangular (triangular) array of infinitely long vacuum rods of elliptical (circular) cross section surrounded by a high dielectric medium. P23: Optical correlations in 2D and 3D photonic crystals with weak and strong disorder Femi Ojambati, E. Yeganegi, Allard P. Mosk, Willem L. Vos University of Twente (The Netherlands) We investigate experimentally the effect of disorder in real photonic crystals. We studied three-dimensional (3D) silica opals, and two-dimensional (2D) silicon photonic crystals. The statistics of reflected light intensities strongly differs from the Rayleigh distribution typical of a completely disordered medium, indicative of intensity correlations. To investigate such correlations, we probe the spatial-dependent correlation function of the reflected intensity. We find that the reflected light from regions with low disorder correlates more than regions with higher disorder. P24: Active control of the vacuum field in nanomechanical photonic crystal structures Michele Cotrufo, L. Midolo, M. Petruzzella, Z. Zobenica, F. W. M. van Otten, A. Fiore Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) We theoretically and experimentally investigate a nano-opto-electro-mechanical system which allows controlling the spatial distribution of the vacuum electromagnetic field. The system is based on a double-membrane photonic crystal waveguide. The bending of the top membrane, induced by an applied voltage, creates a spatial profile of the effective refractive index, which affects the localization of the electromagnetic modes. Large modulations of the optical quality factor are predicted by both theory and numerical calculations, and confirmed by experimental data. P25: High-Emissivity Thermal Emitters on Patterned Dielectric Substrates for Thermophotovoltaics Da-Som Kim, Jin-Young Na, Yoon-Jong moon, Young-Seok Kim, Sun-Kyung Kim Kyung Hee University (Korea) We studied an optimal design of highly efficient thermal emitters fabricated on patterned dielectric substrates by conducting full-vectorial electromagnetic simulation. The simulation results revealed that two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals that are composed of dielectric patterns covered with a metal (Ta and W) layer enhance the emissivity over a broad spectral range. This feature illustrates that each object in the 2D photonic crystals acts as an optical cavity, thus improving the light-matter interactions at every resonant frequency. P26: Fully optically built tunable photonic crystal Oto Brzobohaty, L. Chvatal, P. Zemanek Institute of Scientific Instruments of the CAS (Czech Republic) We demonstrate experimentally that a tunable photonic colloidal crystal can bebuilt fully optically. Polystyrene spheres, when illuminated by two counter- propagating laser beams, self-arranged due to the optical binding forces into chain-like structure. Our experiments, based on confocal microscopy, show tunability of optical response to unfocused supercontinuum laser. The spectrum of the scattered field varied along the photonic crystal showing localization of the field on the front part of the chain. P27: Wave transmission and photonic frequency bands in graphene superlattices with sequentially modulated doping Ivan Fuentecilla-Carcamo1 , Martha Alicia Palomino-Ovando1 , Felipe Ramos-Mendieta2 1 Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (Mexico), 2 Universidad de Sonora (Mexico) The propagation of light in periodic layered media constituted of equidistant and equally doped graphene sheets is described by band theory. We report that additional structure on the photonic bands is produced when the graphene doping is sequentially modulated along the superlattice axis. Transmission and reflection spectra of multilayer arrays with different doping modulation are presented. P28: Influence of microscale and nanoscale size effects on optoelectronic properties of metallic patterned structures Mikita Marus1 , Aliaksandr Hubarevich1 , Aliaksandr Smirnov2 , Xiao Wei Sun1 , Huang Hui3 , Weijun Fan1 1 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 2 Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics (Belarus), 3 Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (Singapore) The impact of micro- and nanopores on the optoelectronic performance of aluminium and silver layers with 117 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 hexagonal pore arrangement is demonstrated. Results show that the difference of optoelectronic properties between the aluminium and silver MP layers is negligible (less than 5 percent), while the NP silver layers demonstrate significantly higher transmittance (up to 20 percent) at the given sheet resistance. The results allow to select the most appropriate patterned layer for each specific optoelectronic applications. P29: Coupling between Guided Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons Seong-Han Kim1 , Kap-Joong Kim2 , Chul-Sik Kee1 1 Integrated Optics Laboratory (Korea), 2 Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (Korea) We investigate coupling behaviours between guided spoof surface plasmon polaritons in a form of line defect modes. We theoretically derive and numerically evaluate the coupling length, which indicate coupling strength, from dispersion relations of eigenmodes in coupled waveguides. P30: Dielectric metamaterial fabricated from silicon pyramid grating as an effective optical sensor Andrey K. Sarychev1 , Konstantin Afanasev1 , Irina Boginskaya1 , Igor Budashov2 , Ilya Kurochkin2 , Ilya Ryzhikov1 , Andrey Ivanov1 , Marina Sedova1 , Andrey Lagarkov1 1 Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electrodynamics RAS (Russia), 2 Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia) Dielectric metamaterial composed of periodic silicon pyramid grating is investi- gated. We use the results of the numerical simulations as well as real experiment to demonstrate giant field fluctuations in the dielectric substrate due to the excitation of the dielectric reso- nances. We demonstrate the enhancement of the Raman signal from the complex of 5,5-dithio- bis-[2-nitrobenzoic acid] molecules and gold nanoparticles (TNB-AuNP), which are immobilized on the surface of the silicon pyramid grating. P31: Temperature tunable waveguide modes in a semiconductor quaternary alloy hexagonal photoniccrystal hole slab Robert Sanchez Cano1 , Nelson Porras Montenegro2 1 Universidad Autonoma de Occidente (Colombia), 2 Universidad del Valle (Colombia) We present theoretical predictions for the photonic even line defect modes, and spatial distribution of the electromagnetic field intensity as a function of the temperature. The photonic crystal hole slab is composed of a 2D-hexagonal array, embedded in a non-dispersive semiconductor alloy. Our results show a strong temperature dependence of the waveguide modes, the electromagnetic field distribution, and critical temperature values for the existence of guided modes to defect radius values near the edges of the photonic band gap. P32: Wave Propagation and Acoustic Band Gaps of Liquid Crystal/Solid Systems Oral Oltulu1 , A. M. Mamedov2 , E. Ozbay2 1 Harran University (Turkey), 2 Bilkent University (Turkey) In this study,we present a calculated band structure results for a two dimensional (2D) square array geometry of solid cylindrical scatterers surrounded by a liquid crystal (LC) matrix. The compound used in this study was a room temperature (NLC) , called 5CB (4-pentyl-4’cyanobiphenyl). The acoustic band structure of a two-dimensional phononic crystal containing a 5CB NLC and Lithium Tantalate (LiTaO3) was investigated by the plane-wave-expansion (PWE) method. P33: Effect of Material Parameters on Band Gap of Sonic Crystals (BaTiO3/Polar Liquids) Amirullah Mamedov1 , Oral Oltulu2 , Ekmel Ozbay1 1 Bilkent University (Turkey), 2 Harran University (Turkey) In this paper, we study the influences of material parameters on the phononic band gaps of two-dimensional (2D) solid phononic crystals (PCs) based on the Plain Wave Expansion (PWE) method. We found that the pass bands and forbidden bands of the PCs can be changed by rotating the anisotropic material orientation of the scatterers. It is noted that most of the above-mentioned studies are based on the calculations of the PCs with some particular material combinations. P34: Simultaneous Full Control of Elastic Waves in Plates by Gradient Index Devices Yabin Jin1 , Daniel Torrent2 , Yan Pennec1 , Yongdong Pan3 , Bahram Djafari-Rouhani1 1 Universite de Lille 1 (France), 2 Universite de Bordeaux (France), 3 Tongji University (China) We present a method for designing gradient index devices for elastic waves in plates based on Fourier homogenization of phononic crystals/acoustic metamaterials. The method allows the design to control the three fundamental Lamb modes, despite the fact that their dispersion relation is managed by different elastic cons118 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 tants. It is shown that by means of complex GRIN phononic crystals and thickness variations, it is possible to independently design the three refractive indexes of Lamb modes, hence realizing their simultaneous control. P35: Reconfigurable Acoustic Metasurface for Dynamic Steering of Sound Waves Po-Han Fu, Tsung-Yu Chiang, Ding-Wei Huang National Taiwan University (Taiwan) A reconfigurable acoustic metasurface was designed and constructed for manipulatingthe propagation of sound waves. The acoustic metasurface consists of an arrayof 3D-printed cells containing motor-driven interdigitated walls. By changingthe positions of the interdigitated walls in each cell, the acousticmetasurface can change the phase distribution of the sound waves passingthrough it. In this way, dynamic steering of sound waves can be achieved. P36: Hybridization of multi-mode waves in thin plates Matthieu Rupin1 , P. Roux2 , G. Lerosey1 , F. Lemoult1 1 Institut Langevin (France), 2 Universite Grenoble Alpes (France) This work concerns the study of the effect of multiple localized resonances on multiple propagative modes. We demonstrate the possibility to break the natural orthogonality of elastic plate waves (A0 and S0 Lamb modes) using an assymetric metamaterial composed by an ensemble of long metallic rods closely packed and coupled to a one side of a thin metallic plate. We believe that our approach is valid for any medium that supports two propagating modes at the same frequency. P37: Annular Hole Phononic Crystals for Surface Acoustic Waves Benjamin James Ash, S. R. Worsfold, Peter Vukusic, Geoffrey R. Nash University of Exeter (United Kingdom) Novel annular hole arrays are used as phononic crystals for surface acoustic waves. Simulations show dispersions with low frequency bandgaps that can be tuned by the geometry of the annular holes and experiments validate these simulations through expected attenuation of propagating waves. These annular holes improve upon cylindrical pillar phononic crystals that have been the focus of much recent interest. P38: High-Q perfect absorption based on coherent Fano resonances Xianji Piao, Sunkyu Yu, Namkyoo Park Seoul National University (Korea) We realize narrowband perfect absorption of light by applying Fano resonances to guided-wave structures. By transplanting the stub structure of microwave theory into the optical platform we derive the Fano resonance for coherent incident waves, which allows the low-loss and high-Q perfect absorption. Its application as a simplest but fundamental building block in opto-thermal devices such as absorptive switch and opto-thermal emitter will be discussed. P39: 3D Flexible and Tunable Plasmonic Platforms for Optical Biosensing Monica Focsan, Monica Potara, Cosmin Leordean, Ana Maria Craciun, Dana Maniu, Simion Astilean Babes Bolyai University (Romania) There is an urgent need for the development of new optical, ultrasensitive, robust biosensor for the detection of specific disease biomarkers in order to enable early diagnostics and improve diseases treatment. P40: Magnetic properties of a mixture of a Liquid Crystal doped with Semiconductor Nanoparticles Vicente Marzal, Braulio Garcia-Camara, Isabel Perez, Jose Manuel Sanchez-Pena GDAF-UC3M (Spain) Currently there are many efforts to improve the electro-optical properties of liquidcrystals by means of doping them with different nanoparticle types. In this work we presentsimulation results of the magnetic properties of several liquid crystals with inclusions of sphericalresonant semiconductor nanoparticles. Effective magnetic permeability was obtained through threeeffective medium theories. Furthermore, the permeability variations with size of the nanoparticle,its concentration in the liquid crystal and the magnetic anisotropy have been studied. P41: Parity-time symmetric analogy of relativistic electrodynamics Sunkyu Yu, Xianji Piao, Namkyoo Park Seoul National University (Korea) 119 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 We prove that there exists a strong correspondence between optical PT-symmetry and relativistic electrodynamics, in the frame of pseudo-particle defined as the state of polarization and Lorentz-like pseudo-force defined as the distribution of material parameters. We show that the SOP evolution on the Poincare sphere in slowly-varying potential follows the relativistic motion of electric charges governed by electric, magnetic, and nonlinear Lorentz force terms, and interpret the phases of PT symmetry in terms of electric- or magnetic-force dominant regimes. P42: Light Manipulation in Cylindrical Graphene-Covered Gyrotropic Structures Dmitry Kuzmin1 , Igor Bychkov1 , Vladimir Shavrov2 1 Chelyabinsk State University (Russia), 2 Kotel’nikov Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics of RAS (Russia) In this work we summarize results of our previous investigation on speckle-pattern rotation of light propagating in gyrotropic graphene-covered optical fiber and present our new study on plasmon-polariton manipulation in gyrotropic graphene-covered nanowire. Investigation shows that in both cases light energy distribution rotates moving along propagation axis. Rotation angle may be controlled by both gyrotropy of the core and chemical potential of graphene. Results may be used for development optics and plasmonic devices as well as for sensing applications. P43: Still azimuthal doughnuts in near-zero-index media Andrea Marini, Javier F. Garcia de Abajo ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain) Optical beams are generally unbound in bulk media. Here we reveal the existence of still doughnut-shaped and azimuthally polarized solitons with vanishing Poynting vector and angular momentum in near-zero-index media with Kerr nonlinearity. Our results suggest applications in optical data processing and storage, quantum optical memories, and soliton-based lasers without cavities. Additionally, near-zero-index conditions can also be found in the interplanetary medium and in the atmosphere, where we provide a complementary explanation to the rare phenomenon of ball-lightning. 16:40 - 19:00 — Malaga Session 2A22 Symposium: Hybrid Plasmonics and Functional Nanomaterials Organized by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov Chaired by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov 16:40 : Invited talk Enhancing Solar Cells and Photocatalysis via Plasmonic Nanostructures Dongling Ma Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (Canada) With unique surface plasmon resonance properties and high potential for many important applications, plasmonic nanostructures are attracting more and more attention in the past decade.

Govorov2 , Malcolm Kadodwala1 1 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2 Ohio University (USA), 3 University of Massachusetts (USA) Here we report a rapid bottom-up approach to functionalise selective regions of plasmonic nanostructures that utilises nano-localised heating of the surrounding water induced by pulsed laser irradiation. This localised heating is exploited in a chemical protection / de-protection strategy to allow selective regions of a nanostructure to be chemically modified. As an exemplar, we use the strategy to enhance the biosensing capabilities of a chiral plasmonic substrate. 17:40 : Invited talk Engineering the Electromagnetic Properties of Plasmonic Nanohybrids for Solar Water Splitting Luca Razzari1 , Jianming Zhang2 , Xin Jin1 , Pablo I. Morales-Guzman1 , Jerome Claverie2 1 INRS-EMT (Canada), 2 UQAM (Canada) We will present engineered plasmonic nanohybrids featuring an enhanced photocatalytic activity in the solar spectral range. Details about their electromagnetic design and experimental evidences of their efficacy in water splitting experiments will be provided. Our findings show a possible route towards the design of full solar spectrum photocatalysts. 18:00 : Invited talk Plasmon-induced photoenergy conversion systems Hiroaki Misawa Hokkaido University (Japan) We have demonstrated plasmonic photocurrent generation from visible to near-infrared wavelengths without deteriorating photoelectric conversion using electrodes in which gold nanorods are elaborately arrayed on the surface of a TiO2 single crystal. We have also reported the stoichiometric evolution of oxygen via water oxidation by irradiating the plasmon-enhanced photocurrent generation system with near-infrared light. 18:20 : Invited talk Preparation of Au-Ag Alloy Nanoparticles via Ionic Liquid/Metal Sputter Deposition and Their Application to Plasmon-induced Photosensitization Tatsuya Kameyama1 , Eisaku Kumazawa1 , Susumu Kuwabata2 , Tsukasa Torimoto1 1 Nagoya University (Japan), 2 Osaka Univeristy (Japan) Au-Ag nanoparticles having tunable wavelength of LSPR peak, prepared by ionic liquid/metal sputter deposition, were loaded on porous TiO2 electrodes. An anodic photocurrent was observed by the photoexcitation of LSPR peak of the resulting electrodes. 18:40 : Invited talk Nanophotonic Designs for Photovoltaics and Luminescent Solar Concentrators Vivian Ferry University of Minnesota (USA) Luminescent solar concentrators hold many advantages for future photovoltaic designs, but are limited by optical losses deriving from both the luminescent material and the optical geometry. In this paper we discuss ways that Bragg mirrors and metamaterials can be used in cooperation with tailored luminescent nanocrystals to achieve high concentration factors. We quantify the forms of the losses, and show how nanophotonics can be used to change the necessary tolerances on the luminescent materials to achieve high performance. 16:40 - 19:45 — Ronda 121 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Session 2A23 SP20. Chiral Optics and Chiral Materials: Interplaying Structures Organized by: David Andrews and Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas Chaired by: David Andrews and Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas 16:40 : Keynote talk Exploring nanoscale chirality: issues of parity, scale and measurement David L. Andrews University of East Anglia (United Kingdom) The development of light beams with a vortex character in wave-front or polarization structure has brought a new focus upon the fundamental science of chiral interactions. To understand the interplay and coupling of optical and material chirality on the nanoscale generally invites recognition of quantum facets to the lightmatter interaction. This presentation identifies some of the key issues associated with spatial and temporal parity, scale and measurement. 17:10 : Invited talk Optical and acoustical radiation torque and forces: overview, applications, and selected recent developments Philip Marston1 , Likun Zhang2 1 Washington State University (USA), 2 University of Texas at Austin (USA) Beginning with Marston and Crichton’s analysis of optical radiation torque from the 1980s, the generation and analysis of acoustical beams carrying axial angular momentum (from the 1990s) is surveyed along with developments from the past decade involving negative radiation forces. Acoustical radiation forces are also well suited for controlling the shape of liquid objects (as used for exploring light scattering caustics) and for the suppression of capillary instabilities. 17:30 : Invited talk Directionality in coherent dipole-dipole interactions Joerg Bernhard Goette1 , Gaoyong Sun2 , Koen Corstiaan van Kruining2 , Thomas Pohl2 1 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2 Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (Germany) We investigate the photon mediated interaction of atoms trapped in the evanescent field of a waveguide or nanofibre. The evanescent field features a locking between the spin and the direction of propagation which we employ to drive selectively coherent dipole-dipole interactions between the trapped atoms. 17:50 : Invited talk Chirality control at the nanoscale Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto, N. Bonod Aix-Marseille University (France) We present a simple analytic formalism to model the interaction between a chiral emitter and a nanoantenna. We compare the performances of metallic and dielectric spherical antennas to tailor the chirality of light emission. It is observed that metallic spherical nanoparticles spoil the chirality of light emission by yielding achiral fields. In contrast, thanks to the combined excitation of magnetic and electric modes, dielectric Sibased particles feature the ability to inhibit or boost the chirality of light emission. 18:10 : Invited talk Chirality in evanescent near fields Euan Hendry University of Exeter (United Kingdom) We demonstrate the generation of short-range, chiral electromagnetic fields by the excitation of chiral arrays of metallic antennas, and present proof of principal experiments using chiral microwave antennas and small probe helices to represent chiral molecules. By building up a physical understanding of both the generation of chiral near fields and their interaction with chiral matter, one can begin to harness the potential for sensing, measurement and characterization. 122 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 18:30 : Invited talk Helicity of Structured Light Alison Yao1 , Robert Cameron2 , Christopher Gibson1 , Stephen Barnett2 , Gian-Luca Oppo1 1 University of Strathclyde (United Kingdom), 2 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom) Light with spatially inhomogeneous states of polarization, such as vector and Poincare beams, can also have non-uniform helicity density. The resultant gradients in helicity density will generate a force that will interact differently with opposite enantiomers of chiral molecules. By propagating these structured beams through nonlinear self-focusing media we can enhance this chiral force with the potential for manipulating chiral molecules. 18:50 : Invited talk Chirality of microwave fields Eugene Kamenetskii, Maksim Berezin, Elad Hollander, Reuven Shavit Ben Gurion University (Israel) In optics, the field chirality on the subwavelength scales can be obtained based on special-form plasmonic structures. It was shown that with use of quasi-2D ferrite disks with magnetic-dipolar-mode (MDM) oscillations one can observe near-field chirality in microwaves. The fields originated from a MDM ferrite disk, - magnetoelectric fields - carry both spin and orbital angular momentums. They are characterized by power-flow vortices and non-zero helicity. We consider ME-field chirality in the near- and far-field regions of microwave radiation. 19:10 : Invited talk Mechanical effects of highly twisted light interacting with two-level atoms Vasileios E. Lembessis1 , Mohamed Babiker2 , Demosthenes Ellinas3 1 King Saud University (Saudi Arabia), 2 University of York (United Kingdom), 3 Technical University of Crete (Greece) We consider the interaction of a two-level atom with a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) light beam with high values of radial index, p , and/or winding number l. We focus on the effects of the Gouy phase together with other phase contributions due to the curvature in a LG beam when it interacts with atoms at near resonance. 19:30 : Helicity transfer between particles Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas CSIC (Spain) Due to the conservation of the electromagnetic helicity, I will show the consequence for energy transfer of a recent optical theorem that I established for the helicity of wave-fields, (equivalent to the so-called optical chirality for time-harmonic waves), on scattering with chiral structures. In analogy with a FRET process, the helicity is transferred between a donor and acceptor thus conveying information of their respective chirality properties. 16:40 - 18:55 — Nerja Session 2A24 SP11. Hyperbolic metamaterials: Theory, Experiments and Applications Organized by: Giuseppe Strangi Chaired by: Giuseppe Strangi 16:40 : Invited talk Optical signal dispersion in hyperbolic metamaterials Tomasz Stefaniuk, Anatoly Zayats King’s College London (United Kingdom) We present the study of ultrashort pulse dynamics in hyperbolic plasmonic metamaterial. The transient Kerrtype nonlinear response of metamaterials is simulated by introducing the nonlinearity of Au using the two temperature model. In the nanorod metamaterial the nonlinearity is not limited by the optical properties of the 123 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 constituents, but it can be designed to be stronger than in uniform materials at a given spectral range. We demonstrate that this effect can be used for dispersion management of ultrashort pulses. 17:00 : Invited talk Hyperbolic Metamaterials with Complex Geometry Andrei V. Lavrinenko, Andrei Andryieuski, Sergei Zhukovsky, Osamu Takayama, Evgeniy Skhondin, Mohammad Aryaee Panah, Radu Malureanu, Flemming Jensen Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) We investigate new geometries of hyperbolic metamaterials such as highly corrugated structures, nanoparticle monolayer assemblies, super-structured or vertically arranged multilayers and nanopillars. All structures retain basic properties of hyperbolic metamaterials, but have functionality improved on particular purpose: increased absorption, radiative decay enginnering, and selective control over volume plasmon-polaritons or directional surface waves. 17:20 : Invited talk Advanced plasmonic metamaterials for ultrasensitive biosensing Andrei V. Kabashin Aix-Marseille University (France) This presentation will overview our on-going activities on the improvement of physical sensitivity of plasmonic biosensors. Our approach is based on the employment of designed plasmonic metamaterials, which could provide a much improved sensing response over conventional Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensor configurations and offer novel attractive functionalities for biological sensing/recognition. 17:40 : Block-copolymer based self-assembled hyperbolic metamaterials in the visible range Xuan Wang1 , Kevin Ehrhardt1 , Morten Kildemo2 , Alexandre Baron1 , Valeria Lotito1 , Philippe Barois1 , Ashod Aradian1 , Virginie Ponsinet1 1 Bordeaux University (France), 2 NTNU (Norway) Hyperbolic metamaterials use the control of the propagative modes through the engineering of the dispersion relation, and are considered highly promising to reach different meta-properties. However, simple and large scale fabrication technologies allowing controlled final optical properties at chosen frequency ranges (including the visible one) are still needed. Here we present the fabrication and optical study using spectroscopic ellipsometry, of nanocomposites based on metal nanoparticles embedded in a self-assembled anisotropic polymer host, presenting a strong spectrally selective optical anisotropy. 17:55 : Hyperbolic Magnetic Media as Tunable Slab Lenses Rair Macedo1 , Robert L. Stamps1 , Thomas Dumelow2 1 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2 Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil) We investigate a class of hyperbolic materials that not only display negative refraction and focusing in a lens with parallel sides but also allow one to modify the focal length of aslab lens with an externally applied magnetic eld. This is possible because antiferromagnets aregyrotropic and support magnetic polaritons whose frequencies are sensitive to magnetic elds. Inaddition, a rich caustic structure emerges at low temperatures, when damping should be small. 18:10 : Purcell effect in multiperiodic multilayered metal-dielectric metamaterials Alexandr V. Chebykin1 , Victoria Babicheva2 , Ivan V. Iorsh1 , Alexey A. Orlov1 , Pavel Belov1 , Sergei Zhukovsky3 1 ITMO University (Russia), 2 Georgia State University (USA), 3 DTU Fotonik (Denmark) Purcell effect in multiperiodic metal-dielectric metamaterials was studied theoretically. We have demonstrated that one can use multiperiodicity to obtain greater values of Purcell factor than in ordinary periodic metamaterials. Further enhancement of spontaneous emission was reached by including a cavity layer in multiperiodic structure. We have analyzed the dependency of Purcell factor on the emitter location for structures both with and without cavity. Our results can be useful for more efficient manipulation of spontaneous emission in metamaterials. 18:25 : THz wire medium operating as a ultra-broadband imaging device Korbinian Julius Kaltenecker1 , Alessandro Tuinz2 , Simon C. Fleming2 , Alexander Argyros2 , Boris T. Kuhlmey2 , Markus Walther1 , Bernd M. Fischer3 124 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 1 University of Freiburg (Germany), 2 University of Sydney (Australia), 3 French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis (France) Wire media can be used for non-diffractive, sub-diffraction-limited image transmission over several wavelength. A perfect reconstruction of transmitted field distribution, however, has been limited to narrow frequency windows defined by the Fabry-Perot resonance condition. We propose and demonstrate that this restrication can be overcome by using ultra short THz pulses and measuring the electric field in the time domain. 18:40 : Imaging of anomalous internal reflections of hyperbolic phonon-polaritons in hexagonal boron nitride nanocones Alexander J. Giles1 , Siyuan Dai1 , Orest J. Glembocki1 , Andrey V. Kretinin2 , Zhiyuan Sun3 , Chase T. Ellis1 , Joseph G. Tischler1 , Takashi Tanaguchi2 , Kenji Watanabe1 , Michael M. Fogler4 , Kostya S. Novoselov1 , Dimitri N. Basov3 , Joshua D. Caldwell1 1 United States Naval Research Laboratory (USA), 2 U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (USA), 3 University of Manchester (United Kingdom), 4 National Institute for Materials Science, (Japan) We use scanning near-field optical microscopy to study the response of hexagonal boron nitride nanocones at infrared frequencies, where this material behaves as a hyperbolic medium. The obtained images are dominated by a series of hot rings that occur on the sloped sidewalls of the nanocones, which are consistent with directional propagation of hyperbolic phonon-polaritons (HPhP) rays that are launched at the edges and zigzag through the interior of the nanocones, sustaining multiple internal reflections off the sidewalls. 16:40 - 19:00 — Antequera Session 2A25 SP22. Microcavity Polaritons: fundamental physics and devices Organized by: Alberto Bramati Chaired by: Guillaume Malpuech 16:40 : Invited talk Unitary dynamics of a propagating quantum fluid of light in a cavityless nonlinear optical medium P.- E. Larre, Iacopo Carusotto Universita di Trento (Italy) We discuss the potential of bulk nonlinear optical media in cavityless configurations for quantum statistical mechanics studies of the unitary many-body dynamics in a gas of interacting photons. A critical comparison with more usual driven-dissipative dynamics in microcavity devices is made. 17:00 : Invited talk Nonlocal Fluids of Light Daniele Faccio1 , David Vocke1 , Kali Wilson1 , Thomas Roger1 , Francesco Marino2 , Calum Maitland1 , Iacopo Carusotto3 , Brian P. Anderson4 , Ewan M. Wright4 1 Heriot-Watt University (United Kingdom), 2 CNR-Istituto Nazionale di Ottica (Italy), 3 Universita di Trento (Italy), 4 University of Arizona (USA) The transverse spatial profile of an intense light beam propagating in a thermal nonlinear medium evolves following the hydrodynamical equations. The interplay between the geometry of the light beam and the nonlocal thermal response strongly affects superfluid behaviour, as shown by experiments studying quantised vortex nucleation from an obstacle. A properly tailored nonlocal response and beam geometry is also used to simulate the Newton-Schrodinger equation and provide an experimental testbed for astrophysical studies e.g. of boson stars. 17:20 : Invited talk Exciton-polariton lasers based on biologically produced fluorescent proteins Sven Hoefling1 , C. P. Dietrich1 , A. Steude1 , L. Tropf1 , M. Schubert1 , N. M. Kronenberg1 , K. Ostermann2 , M. C. Gather3 125 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 1 University of St Andrews (USA), 2 Technische Universitat Dresden (Germany), 3 Universitat Wurzburg (Germany) Under adequate conditions, cavity-polaritons can form a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). Here, we demonstrate room-temperature BEC of cavity-polaritons in simple laminated microcavities filled with biologically produced enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). The unique molecular structure of eGFP prevents exciton annihilation even at high excitation densities, thus facilitating BEC. BEC is clearly evidenced by a distinct threshold, an interaction-induced blue shift of the condensate and the presence of a second threshold, which is associated with the onset of photon lasing. 17:40 : Invited talk Polariton lasing in hybrid organic-inorganic microcavity G. Paschos1 , N. Somaschi2 , G. Christmann2 , D. Coles3 , D. G. Lidzey3 , Z. Hatzopoulos2 , S. I. Tsintzos2 , P. G. Lagoudakis4 , Pavlos Savvidis1 1 University of Crete (Greece), 2 Institute of Electronic Structure / Laser-FORTH (Greece), 3 University of Sheffield (United Kingdom), 4 University of Southampton (United Kingdom) In this work we study hybrid exciton-polaritons that arise from mixing of two different organic-inorganic excitonic species with the resonant photon mode. A planar microcavity structure consists of GaAs QWs and Jaggregate molecular dye assembled together in a multi-layered stack to form the active region. Angle-resolved photoluminescence at 80K reveals clear anticrossing. Furthermore, through power dependent measurements we demonstrate for the first time strong nonlinear emission and onset of hybrid polariton lasing regime. 18:00 : Invited talk Towards strongly confined exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensates with a polymer at ambient conditions Darius Urbonas, Fabio Scafirimuto, Lijian Mai, Rainer F. Mahrt, Thilo Stoeferle IBM Research (Switzerland) We create exciton-polaritons in a microcavity filled with a ladder-type conjugated polymer. At room temperature, we observe thermalization and, above a critical excitation density, Bose-Einstein condensation of the polaritons, as evidenced through nonlinear emission, interaction-induced blue-shift and long-range macroscopic coherence. Our approach demonstrates a radically simplified route to investigate Bose-Einstein condensation physics at ambient conditions with easy-to-process non-crystalline materials. Finally, we discuss recent experiments on nanoscale defect cavities to produce strongly confined condensates and possible ways towards quantum simulation. 18:20 : Invited talk Polariton condensation phase diagram in a ZnO microcavity: what else besides room-temperature? Jesus Zuniga-Perez1 , Omar Jamadi2 , Francois Reveret2 , Rereao Hahe3 , Feng Li1 , Mathieu Leroux1 , Fabrice Semond1 , Joel Leymarie2 , Pierre Disseix2 , Francois Medard2 , Martine Mihailovic2 , Thierry Guillet3 , Christelle Brimont3 , Sophie Bouchoule4 , Xavier Lafosse4 , Dmitry Solnyshkov2 , Guillaume Malpuech2 1 CRHEA-CNRS (France), 2 Institut Pascal (France), 3 L2C (France), 4 LPN-CNRS (France) The condensation phase diagram of a ZnO microcavity shows that in wide bandgap microcavities, contrary to a common assumption, the strong exciton-LO phonon interaction does not necessarily lead to a reduction of the polariton condensation threshold. Most important, the condensation threshold is found to be a strongly varying function of the excitation spot size and to display an absolute minimum, for this microcavity and at room-temperature, for an excitation spot diameter of about 12 micrometers. 18:40 : Invited talk Control of the generation and propagation of polariton condensates at 300K in ZnO microcavities Rereao Hahe1 , Hamis Gargoubi1 , Christelle Brimont1 , Brahim Guizal1 , Sihem Jaziri2 , Sophie Bouchoule3 , Xavier Lafosse3 , Feng Li4 , Mathieu Leroux4 , Fabrice Semond4 , Jesus Zuniga-Perez4 , Thierry Guillet1 1 Universite de Montpellier (France), 2 Faculte des Sciences de Bizerte (Tunisia), 3 LPN-CNRS (France), 4 CRHEACNRS (France) The spatial dynamics of the formation of a polariton condensate under a tightly focused excitation is imaged through 2D near-field and far-field 2D tomography in a ZnO microcavity, up to room temperature. The modelling exhibits the role of the outwards polariton flux caused by the reservoir repulsion, that leads to a 3 to 10 fold increase of the condensation threshold and is imprinted in the shape of the polariton condensate. 126 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 16:40 - 19:00 — Fuengirola Session 2A26 SP34. Fano resonances in optics and microwaves: Physics and application Organized by: Eugene Kamenetskii Chaired by: Philippe Tassin 16:40 : Invited talk Sharp Fano resonances arising from coupling between surface plasmon polariton and waveguide modes Shinji Hayashi1 , Dmitry V. Nesterenko2 , Anouar Rahmouni2 , Zouheir Sekkat2 1 Kobe University (Japan), 2 Morrocan Foundation for Advanced Science, Innovation and Research (MAScIR) (Morocco) Fano resonances arising from coupling between the surface plasmon polariton and planar waveguide modes supported by multilayer planar structures are studied theoretically and experimentally. Sharp Fano resonances with high Q values in angle-scan attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectra are theoretically predicted and confirmed experimentally. The multilayer structures can easily be fabricated without nanofabrication techniques and allow potential applications in sensing and enhanced spectroscopy. 17:00 : Invited talk Utilizing Fano resonances in chiral and dielectric nanoparticle oligomers Ben Hopkins1 , Francesco Monticone2 , Andrey E. Miroshnichenko1 , Andrea Alu2 , Yuri Kivshar1 1 Australian National University (Australia), 2 University of Texas at Austin (USA) We present recent results on the use of Fano resonances to provide (i) circularly-dichroic behavior in planar chiral nanoparticle oligomers, and (ii) strong enhancement of magnetic response from silicon nanoparticles. This work thereby illustrates a more directed use of Fano resonances to produce novel optical behavior in nanoantenna and metasurface scattering geometries. 17:20 : Invited talk Fano resonances and band structure of two-dimensional photonic structures Peter Markos Comenius University in Bratislava (Slovakia) We calculate the transmission of the electromagnetic wave propagating througha linear array of dielectric, metallic and metamaterial cylinders and show that frequencies ofobserved Fano resonances coincide with the position of very narrow frequency bands found in thespectra of corresponding two-dimensional photonic crystals. We discuss some other consequencesof excited Fano resonances to the frequency spectrum of two-dimensional photonic crystals. 17:40 : Invited talk Demonstration of true electromagnetically induced transparency in a metamaterial Toshihiro Nakanishi, Masao Kitano Kyoto University (Japan) We propose a way to realize electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a metamaterial. The incidence of auxiliary electromagnetic waves renders the metamaterial transparent exactly in the same way as the case of original EIT effect in an atomic medium. We show the design of the metamaterial loaded with nonlinear capacitances and demonstrate the EIT effect in the metamaterial in microwave region. 18:00 : Invited talk Degenerate Fano resonance between multipole surface plasmons in a metallic nanohole array Munehiro Nishida, Noriyuki Hatakenaka, Yutaka Kadoya Hiroshima University (Japan) When the size of a nanohole occupies relatively large portion of the unit cell ofan array of nanoholes perforated in thin metallic film, the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs)are combined by the higher order waveguide modes of the holes to produce multipole surfaceplasmons (MSPs): coupled SPPs with multipole texture on the 127 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 electric field distributions. Itis shown that the degeneracy between MSPs with different symmetries produces sharp Fanoresonance and causes nearly perfect absorption with strong field enhancement. 18:20 : Invited talk Multiple electric and magnetic Fano resonances in single-layered core-shell particles Tiago Jose Arruda1 , Alexandre Souto Martinez1 , Felipe Arruda de Araujo Pinheiro2 1 Universidade de Sao Paulo (Brazil), 2 Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Using the Lorenz-Mie theory, we derive an analytical condition for the occurrence ofmutiple Fano resonances in single scattering by coated spheres composed of magnetic materials.This condition establishes that Fanocomb scattering response depends uniquely on materialparameters and thickness of the shell, provided that it is magnetic and thin compared to thescatterer radius. We argue that both position and profile of these Fano resonances could beexternally tuned by engineering magnetic materials. 18:40 : Invited talk Multivariable Fano line shape in guided-mode resonant gratings Dmitry A. Bykov, Leonid L. Doskolovich, Nikita V. Golovastikov The Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia) We study generalizations of the Fano line shape that describe the scattering amplitude as a function of several variables. In particular, we obtain simple approximations for the transmission coefficient of guided-mode resonant (GMR) gratings as a function of both frequency and in-plane wavevector components of the incident wave. The approximations take into account symmetries of the structure, causality and energy conservation conditions. The proposed theory describes angular tolerances of GMR filters and spatio-temporal pulse transformations implemented by GMR gratings. 16:40 - 19:45 — Estepona Session 2A27 SP2. Acoustic, Mechanical and Thermal Metamaterials Organized by: Mohamed Farhat and Sebastien Guenneau Chaired by: Mohamed Farhat and Sebastien Guenneau 16:40 : Invited talk Parity-time synthetic phononic media Johan Christensen DTU (Denmark) In this presentation we show how active acoustic media can be engineered and tuned to work as a Paritytime (PT) synthetic phononic system. We demonstrate a feasible approach for the case of sound where the most important ingredients within synthetic materials, loss and gain, are achieved through electrically biased piezoelectric semiconductors. With colorful examples we demonstrate the rich physics involved and the broad landscape for applications associated with the PT properties. 17:00 : Invited talk Dynamic elastic anisotropy and homogenisation Richard Craster1 , D. Colquitt2 , Tryfon Antonakakis3 1 Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 2 Liverpool University (United Kingdom), 3 Multiwave AG (Switzerland) The full elasticity equations are a vector system that connect stresses and displacements. For structured media, composites or materials that have resonators or inclusions embedded within them or upon them, it is natural to try and obtain effective mediaequations. Unfortunately in several applications one is not in a regime where quasi-static homogenisations is valid and so we consider dynamic homogenisation. 17:20 : Invited talk 128 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 Theory and experimental realization of the emergence, coalescence and topological properties of multiple exceptional points Kun Ding, Guancong Ma, Meng Xiao, Z. Q. Zhang, C. T. Chan The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong) We consider the emergence and interaction of multiple exceptional points in a four-state system theoretically and realize the system experimentally using four coupled acoustic cavities with asymmetric losses. We find the system exhibit multiple EPs that can collide and merge, leading to higher order singularities and topological characteristics not found in two-state systems. The new physics obtained here in acoustic systems can be extended to other kinds of waves. 17:40 : Invited talk Rainbow trapping in mechanical vibrations Rafael A. Mendez-Sanchez1 , Arturo Arreola-Lucas2 , Gabriela Baez2 , Francisco Cervera3 , Alfonso Climente3 , Jose Sanchez-Dehesa3 1 Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (Mexico), 2 Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana Azcapotzalco (Mexico), 3 Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (Spain) The emergence of the rainbow trapping effect is shown experimentally. We started with a beam in which a chirped structure was machined at one side. At the other side a passive vibration isolation system was used. In the middle wave packets were generated using an electromagnetic-acoustic transducer. For different values of the chirp intensity the analog the rainbow trapping effect, was found. The predicted effect was measured in the structured beam. 18:00 : Invited talk Homogenisation of acoustic and elastic metamaterials Mehul Makwana1 , B. Maling2 , S. Guenneau3 , R. V. Craster2 1 Multiwave Technologies AG (Switzerland), 2 Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 3 Aix-Marseille University (France) The propagation of waves through microstructured media with periodically arranged inclu- sions has applications in many areas of physics and engineering, stretching from photonic crystals through to seismic metamaterials. In the high-frequency regime, modeling such behavior is complicated by multiple scattering of the resulting short waves between the inclusions. Our aim is to develop an asymptotic theory for modeling systems with arbitrarily shaped inclusions located on general Bravais lattices. 18:20 : Wave propagation in periodic structures and focusing of the ultrasound waves Piotr Fiborek, Pawel Kudela, Maciej Radzienski, Wieslaw Mieczyslaw Ostachowicz Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland) Analytical studies and numerical simulations are performed in order to show capability of focusing of ultrasound waves in air by an acoustic lens. Wave focusing is realized by beamforming resulting from appropriate time delays of excited waves. Proposed type of acoustic lens is able to generate sound bullet in desired location. The feasibility of control of sound bullet is confirmed by series of experimental investigation on wave propagation in periodic structures. 18:35 : Heat mimicking of given objects Ahmed Alwakil1 , Myriam Zerrad2 , Michel Bellieud3 , Claude Amra1 1 Institut Fresnel (France), 2 Aix Marseille Universite (France), 3 Universite de Montpellier (France) We address an inverse thermal engineering problem devoted to heat mimicking. The objects to cloak and mimic are predefined in shape and conductivity, which leads to emphasize a specific set of transformations. 18:50 : Bio-inspired seismic metamaterials Ronald Aznavourian1 , Tania Puvirajesinghe2 , Stephane Brule3 , Stefan Enoch1 , Sebastien Guenneau1 1 Institut Fresnel (France), 2 Institut Paoli-Calmettes (France), 3 Dynamic soil laboratory (France) We consider geometric transforms underpinning the design of cloaks in graphene in the context of elastodynamics. We generate a whole class of bio-inspired cloaks that are deduced from mappings of the plane with morphing techniques. Interestingly, morphing techniques allow us to straightforwardly deduce elastic wave patterns in bio-inspired cloaks from the rigorous computations performed with FDTD simulations. Analogies drawn between thermal waves in (nano-scale) graphene and seismic waves in structured soils conclude our survey of transformation biophysics for civil engineering. 129 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 19:05 : Invited talk Low frequency sound screening using an acoustic metamaterial made of space-coiled resonant cavities A. Elayouch, M. Addouche, Y. Tejda, A. Khelif Universite de Franche-Comte (France) In this work, we report on designs of locally resonant acoustic metamaterials that enable us to generate low frequency sound screening. We investigate both experimentally and theoretically how to generate asymmetric lineshapes of the transmission that lead to acoustic opacity. For this, we study the transmission properties of an acoustic metamaterial involving the coupling of space coiled Fabry-Perot cavities. 19:25 : Invited talk Total hyperelastic invariance - stretching the truth? William J. Parnell1 , Pu Zhang1 , Vincent Pagneux2 1 University of Manchester (United Kingdom), 2 Universite Du Maine (France) The concept of hyperelastic invariance has been employed recently in various contexts associated with metamaterials and in particular in association with elastodynamic cloaking and elastic wave disentanglement. Here the concept of total hyperelastic invariance is investigated and it is shown that strain energy functions can be theoretically devised that leave certain linear elastic waves unaffected by the presence of nonlinear pre-stress. 16:40 - 17:55 — Benalmadena Session 2A28 SP6.

Strittmatter1 , T. Heindel1 , S. Rodt1 , Stephan Reitzenstein1 1 Technische Universitat Berlin (Germany), 2 Zuse-Institut Berlin (Germany) Bright quantum light sources based on single semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) integrated into photonic microstructures are key building blocks for the realization of advanced quantum communication schemes. We report on the deterministic fabrication of QD-microlenses with excellent optical and quantum-optical properties in terms of the photon extraction efficiency (hext=30 percent), the single photon purity (g(2)(0) 17:00 : Invited talk Quantum Metamaterials with quantum dots Emmanuel Rousseau, Felbacq Didier Universite Montpellier (France) This paper adresses the question of the correct hamiltonian to describe a quantum metamaterials in the optical frequency range. A quantum metamaterials is a metamaterial structure inside which quantum degrees of freedom have been inserted. We consider a dielectric metamaterials made of dielectrics rods in a periodic conguration. Such a structure exhibits homogeneous optical properties including negative refraction. The quantum degree of freedom are quantum dots. 17:20 : Invited talk Coupling of quantum emitters and single plasmonic particles for quantum non-linear elements Gunter Kewes1 , Alexander Kuhlicke1 , Andreas W. Schell2 , Oliver Benson1 1 Humboldt-University Berlin (Germany), 2 Kyoto University (Japan) 130 META’16 Malaga Program Tuesday 26th July, 2016 We introduce realistic structures for non-linear quantum plasmonic elements. The structures consist of grating coupler, dielectric and plasmonic waveguides coupled to single organic molecules. Fabrication, numerical simulation and optimization strategies are discussed. Additionally, we demonstrate a novel approach for detailed investigation of chemically synthesized plasmonic nanoparticles or nanowires. 17:40 : Noise induced narrowing of metamolecule fluorescence spectral line Evgeny Andrianov1 , Nikolay Chtchelkatchev2 , Alexander Pukhov1 1 All-Russia Research Institute of Automatics (Russia), 2 Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia) We consider metamolecule consisting of plasmonic nanoparticle correlated withthe atoms and driven by external electromagnetic field. Quantum Monte-Carlo simulations show splitting of the Wigner function of metamolecule near-field and a strong (by the order of magnitude) narrowing of spectral line of metamolecule fluorescence which take place at finite domain over the coherent drive with sharp threshold. Such narrow line fluorescence may find wide applications in plasmonics where high losses is unavoidable problem. 18:15 - 19:15 — Benalmadena Session 2A29 SP23.

However, accurate fabrication of structures composed of submicrometer-size Si blocks is challenging. Deep understanding of the influence of fabrication imperfections on the device performance is thus required. Therefore, the effect of pseudo-random errors in size and position of Si nanoblocks on the transmission of such waveguides was numerically studied. Results will be analyzed and physically justified, and conclusions for the device design will be drawn. 18:55 : Invited talk Sub-wavelength engineered high directionality fiber-to-chip blazed grating couplers Carlos Alonso Ramos1 , Daniel Benedikovic1 , Pavel Cheben2 , Diego Perez-Galacho1 , Jens H.

I will then show that the plasmonic field of a gap-bar nano-antenna can induced coupling between two thick-shell quantum dots separated by more than 30 nm, forcing them to emit as a single quantum emitter. 17:00 : Invited talk Strong plasmon-exciton coupling on individual nanoantenna level G. Zengin, M. Wersall, T. J. Antosiewicz, M. Kall, Timur Shegai Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) We demonstrate strong coupling between plasmonic nanocavities and molecular excitons at room temperature on a single plasmonic nanoparticle level.

For red-shifted nonresonant excitation, pump-probe spectra show characteristic features of pump-induced Stark shift of the polariton resonances. For larger coupling strengths, we observe largely enhanced Stark shift with opposite sign caused by a transient reduction in normal mode splitting. Such a strong coherent interaction may be useful for applications in ultrafast all-optical switching. 17:40 : Invited talk Taming single solid-state quantum systems and mesoscopic objectives at the nanoscale Xuewen Chen Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) We report on controllable and highly efficient coherent and incoherent interactions of propagating photons and single quantum systems in solid state.

Lupton Universitat Regensburg (Germany) Ultrafast near-infrared laser pulses can excite localized broadband luminescence on disordered noble-metal nanoparticle surfaces. The nonlinear emission from individual hot spots spans a continuum covering the nearinfrared and visible range, and its spectroscopic signatures can be explained by radiative relaxation of hot electrons within the conduction band. The electron gas in the emitting particles is heated to several thousand Kelvin, since the plasmonic environment enhances the excitation cross section and funnels additional energy into the hot spot. 18:20 : Invited talk Localized surface plasmon enhanced and modulated nonlinear optical processes: second harmonic generation and upconversion emissions Dang Yuan Lei The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong Kong) This talk will present our recent theoretical and experimental investigations on using localized surface plasmons to significantly enhance several nonlinear optical processes, including second harmonic generation, two-photon luminescence and upconversions, and their applications in bioimaging and biosensing. 18:40 : Invited talk Quantum Yield of Single Surface Plasmons Generated by a Quantum Dot Coupled with a Silver Nanowire Hong Wei1 , Qiang Li1 , Hongxing Xu2 1 Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), 2 Wuhan University (China) The interactions between surface plasmons in metal nanostructures and excitons in quantum emitters lead to many interesting phenomena that are strongly dependent on the quantum yield of surface plasmons. The experimental measurement of this quantum yield is hindered due to the difficulty in distinguishing all the possible exciton recombination channels. By utilizing the propagation of surface plasmons, we experimentally determined the quantum yield of single surface plasmons generated by a quantum dot coupled with a silver nanowire. 19:00 - 19:20 — Mijas Session 2A31 SP12.

Extremely small amounts of the microorganisms can be detected, because their sizes are on the same scale as the micro-gaps of the metamaterials. The resonant frequency shift of the metamaterials was investigated in terms of the number density and the dielectric constants of the microorganisms.

Possibility of application for fast controlled nonreciprocal devices are discussed. P34: Response of ZnAl2O4 Ceramics to Ultra Wideband Antenna Ashiqur Rahman, Mohammad Tariqul Islam, Mandeep Jit Singh Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Malaysia) In this paper, we study the response of Zinc aluminate ceramics to an ultra-wideband antenna prepared by the sol-gel technique. The XRD pattern and FTIR reveals the characteristic peaks of ZnAl2O4 with the standard pattern of face centered cubic (fcc) structure and the formation of metal oxide. A dielectric constant of 8.50 and loss tangent of 0.05 are obtained for ZnAl2O4 ceramics. The measurement results show a remarkable achievement of 127percent bandwidth with a bandwidth ratio of 4.5: 1.

Jamlos Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Malaysia) This paper presents the design of a single band Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) for in-phase reflection operation at 8 GHz with 2 GHz of AMC impedance bandwidth. This is to suit the Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) Ultra Wideband (UWB) mandatory channel 6. The proposed AMC is subsequently incorporated on a rectangular-ring patch antenna to determine the contribution of the AMC in improving the antenna reflection coefficient and impedance bandwidth. P36: EBG-based transmission lines with slow-wave characteristics and application to miniaturization of microwave components Jordi Selga, Paris Velez, Jordi Bonache, Ferran Martin Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (Spain) In this paper, artificial transmission lines implemented by means of electromagnetic bandgaps and consisting of a host line periodically loaded with reactive elements (either capacitances or inductances) are presented. The considered implementations are restricted to microstrip lines either loaded with patch capacitors or with inductive slots (etched in the ground plane). It is demonstrated that these structures are useful for device miniaturization due to the slow-wave effect associated to the presence of the reactive elements.

Chumak, Burkard Hillebrands 141 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern (Germany) Using a magnonic crystal-an artificial magnetic media with a periodic variation of its magnetic properties in space-to enhance nonlinear magnon-magnon interactions, we have succeeded in the realization of magnonby-magnon control, and the development of a magnon transistor. We demonstrate that the density of magnons flowing from the transistors source to its drain can be decreased three orders of magnitude by the injection of magnons into the transistors gate. P39: Active dispersion compensation for metamateirals and devices based on the wideband frequency response of non-Foster elements Anjie Zhu1 , Chun Wang1 , Shan Qiao2 , Yongzhi Sun2 , Dexin Ye1 , Lixin Ran1 1 Zhejiang University (China), 2 Nanjing Institute of Electronic Equipement (China) We experimentally investigated the full-range frequency response of non-Foster elements (NE). Our results indicate that the de-embedded impedance of NEs co-existing with properly designed stabilization networks has inverted Lorentzian resonance that satisfies the Kramers-Kronig relations. While the left-side non-Foster response is intrinsically accompanied by a negative, frequency dependent resistance, there also exists a non-Foster response on the right side of the resonance. This helps to achieve high-frequency non-Foster responses and wideband compensation for frequency dispersions of metamaterials and devices. P40: Metasurface for Low Profile X-Band Antenna Application Based on High Permeability and Low Permittivity H. Lago, M. F. Jamlos, P. J. Soh Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Malaysia) A comparison of a novel design with three basic shape designs of artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is presented. The proposed AMC design successfully enhanced the operating bandwidth about 12.02percent compared to the others designs while maintaining the resonant frequency at 9.41 GHz. In addition, it is observed that the proposed AMC unit cell is capable to have higher permeability of 6.26 and lower permittivity of 1.06 at resonant frequency.

Special attention is paid to the interaction between SRRs in metamaterial arrays and properties of diffraction (lattice) mode in periodic arrays of SRRs. We observe tuning of resonant frequency of high-Q factor and high-frequency lattice mode by variation of parameters of individual resonators which may be advantageous for fabrication of tunable metamaterial filters and modulators.

Vandenbosch3 1 Universiti Malaysia Perlis (Malaysia), 2 University of Wollongong in Dubai (UAE), 3 Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) Human body characteristics with different dimensions and tissue properties, is one of the major factors in influencing the on-body radio propagation channel characteristics. A broadband textile monopole antenna operating at 2.45 GHz is evaluated to validate its performance on different subjects’ characteristics. P46: Parametric instability of non-Hermitian systems near the exceptional point Alexander Andreevich Zyablovsky, Eugeny Sergeevich Andrianov, Alexander Alexandrovich Pukhov All-Russia Research Institute of Automatics (Russia) In contrast to Hermitian systems, modes of non-Hermitian ones are nonorthogonal. As a result, system energy depends not only on mode amplitudes but also on phase shift between them. In this work we show that it is possible to increase amplitudes of the modes without increasing of system energy. Moreover, we demonstrate that when system is in exceptional point any infinitesimally small changing of the system parameters leads to increasing of mode amplitudes. P47: Propagation of nolinear surface waves through metamaterial waveguide structure B. Mokhtari1 , N. Hissi1 , M. M. Shabat2 , N. Cherkaoui Eddeqaqi1 , S. Bahsine1 , J. Atangana3 1 Moulay Ismail University (Morocco), 2 Islamic University (Palestine), 3 University of Yaounde I (Cameroon) We present an investigation of nonlinear electromagnetic surface waves propagating in a new ferrite slab made of a metamaterial, where the permittivity is selected in the form of the commonly used function for plasmon investigations, the metamaterial film is surrounded by a nonlinear cover cladding and a ferrite substrate, we calculate the associated propagation index and the film-cover interface nonlinearity. Results show that the propagating characteristics in the above three layers can be tuned and controlled by selecting the film thickness and the film-cover interface nonlinearity. P48: Site-controlled quantum dots coupled to photonic crystal waveguides Bruno Rigal1 , Jakob Rosenkrantz de Lasson2 , Clement Jarlov1 , Benjamin Dwir1 , Alok Rudra1 , Alexey Lyasota1 , Irina Kulkova1 , Niels Gregersen2 , Jesper Mork2 , Elyahou Kapon1 1 EPFL (Switzerland), 2 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) We demonstrate selective optical coupling of multiple, site controlled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) to photonic crystal waveguide structures. The impact of the exact position and emission spectrum of the QDs on the coupling efficiency is elucidated. The influence of optical disorder and end-reflections on photon transport in these systems are discussed.

Realization of this approach in nanoplasmonics can lead to a new device - nanoresotron. P50: Quenching, Plasmonic, and Radiative Decays in Nanogap-based Antennas Remi Faggiani, Philippe Lalanne University of Bordeaux (France) 143 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 We show that nanogap-based antennas can provide large emission rate enhancement and good extraction efficiency despite the close proximity between quantum emitters and metallic objects. We argue thanks to accurate closed-form expressions that quenching can be overcome by the strong decay into slow gap-plasmons modes supported by nanogaps. To illustrate these predictions, we provide a numerical analysis of nanocubetype antennas and propose a classification of nanoantennas based on two figures of merit, the emission rate and the extraction efficiency. 10:00 - 11:20 — Malaga Session 3A2 Symposium: Hybrid Plasmonics and Functional Nanomaterials Organized by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov Chaired by: Jerome Plain, Xing Yi Ling and Alexander Govorov 10:00 : Invited talk On the use of hybrid modal properties to design enhanced nonlinear and ultrafast optical properties Cillian McPollin1 , Silvia Peruch1 , David J. Gosztola2 , Gary P. Wiederrecht2 , Gregory Wurtz3 , Anatoly V Zayats1 1 King’s College London (United Kingdom), 2 Argonne National Laboratory (USA), 3 University of North Florida (USA) In this presentation we present some of the unique opportunities hybrid plasmonic systems offer in the design of active plasmonic metamaterials and devices. In particular, we show that an active control over the modal coherence within hybrid system leads to enhanced nonlinear optical properties being triggered at ultrafast timescales. 10:20 : Invited talk Scalable Fabrication of 2 nm-Wide Plasmonic Nanotrench Arrays For Strong Field Enhancements Joel K. W. Yang Singapore University of Technology and Design (Singapore) Plasmonic field enhancements intensifies with decreasing gaps between metallic nanostructures. However, the scalable fabrication of nanogaps in the 10-nm scale remains challenging. We present a process to scaleup the fabrication of nanotrench arrays in Au. Combining top-down and bottom-up techniques, double-gap structures were patterned, with gaps measuring =2 nm. These structures exhibit ultrasmooth surfaces, as achieved with template stripping with reusable templates. The double-gap structure increases the surface area where light is localized thus enabling enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG). 10:40 : Invited talk Significant enhancement of the chiral correlation length in nematic liquid crystals by gold nanoparticles capped with axially chiral binaphthyl ligands Torsten Mori, A. Sharma, T. Hegmann Kent State University (USA) To investigate how chirality propagates from a chiral nanoscale surface, we studied gold nanoparticles functionalized with axially chiral binaphthyl molecules. In particular, we synthesized three enantiomeric pairs of chiral ligand-capped gold nanoparticles differing in size, curvature, and ligand density that allowed us to tune the chirality transfer from nanoscale solid surfaces to a bulk anisotropic liquid crystal (nematic) medium. Ultimately we are examining how far the chirality from a nanoparticle surface reaches into a soft, self-assembled bulk material. 11:00 : Invited talk Biocompatible Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Unique Properties for Cell Scaffolds Taizo Mori1 , Anshul Sharma1 , Yunxiang Gao1 , Robert Clements1 , Ernest Freeman1 , Christopher Malcuit1 , Jennifer McDonough1 , LaShanda Worley2 , Torsten Hegmann1 , Elda Hegmann1 144 META’16 Malaga Program 1 Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Kent State University (USA), 2 Case Western Reserve University (USA) LCEs responsiveness to external stimuli makes them excellent candidates for the replacement of human tissue cellular delivery, among other applications. We have already prepared series of smectic and nematic LCEs, which have proven to be non-cytotoxic to soft tissue cell lines. We will present new and interesting optical and mechanical properties obtained by slight modifications on the choice of monomers and crosslinking moieties. 11:20 - 12:20 — Malaga Session 3A3 SP21.

We theoretically demonstrate that the combination of the spectral singularity in a PTsymmetric system and the chemical sensitivity of graphene may give rise to exotic scattering responses, strongly influenced by the presence of charged impurities in graphene at the spontaneous PT symmetrybreaking point. 11:40 : Invited talk Terahertz Photogalvanics and Opto-Electronic Characterization of Topological Insulators Sergey Ganichev University of Regensburg (Germany) The paper overviews experimental and theoretical studies of photocurrents excited by polarized terahertz radiation in (Bi1-xSbx)2Te3 and HgTe based 3D and 2D topological insulators. 12:00 : Invited talk Surface Electromagnetic Waves on Metamaterial Absorbers Willie Padilla, Andrew Cardin Duke University (USA) In metamaterial absorbers, absorption for transverse electric polarization falls off much more rapidly than transverse magnetic for increasing angle of incidence. In the present work we demonstrate through computational study that the broad-angle TM behavior cannot be associated with periodicity, instead it is the result of coupling with a surface electromagnetic. Previous experimental results are consistent our computational study and we highlight the potential augment absorber response by tailoring the surface wave. 10:00 - 12:20 — Ronda 145 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Session 3A4 SP31.

Odom Northwestern University (USA) This talk will discuss cavity architectures based on nanoparticle arrays that can achieve tunable lasing at room temperature. We will also describe competing and unique loss mechanisms in nanoparticle cavity arrays and design principles for an optimized lasing devices by comparing different plasmonic materials, unit cell shapes, and gain materials. 10:30 : Invited talk Multimodal plasmonics devices in crystalline colloidal systems Sviatlana Viarbitskaya1 , Alexandre Teulle2 , Upkar Kumar2 , Jadab Sharma2 , Kargal Gurunatha2 , Aurelien Cuche2 , Michel Bosman3 , Alexandre Bouhelier1 , Gerard Colas des Francs1 , Arnaud Arbouet2 , Christian Girard2 , Erik Dujardin2 1 LICB - CNRS (France), 2 CEMES CNRS (France), 3 A*STAR (Singapore) Two-dimensional crystalline Au colloidal structures with mesoscale lateral dimensions act as cavities that sustain higher order plasmon modes with well-defined spatial and spectral characteristics. This multimodal optical behavior can be directly evidenced and explained but also tailored both spatially and spectrally. This intermediate regime that combines propagative and local modes is exploited for a new implementation of information processing devices, including complex Boolean logic gates. 10:50 : Invited talk Revealing Optical Properties of Two-Dimensional Semiconductors at Relevant Length Scales P. James Schuck Lawrence Bekeley National Lab (USA) Reduced-dimensionality materials for photonic and optoelectronic applications including energy conversion, solid-state lighting, sensing, and information technology are undergoing rapid development. The search for novel materials based on reduced-dimensionality is driven by new physics. Understanding and optimizing material properties requires characterization at the relevant length scale, which is often below the diffraction limit. I will describe recent near-field advances that lay groundwork for generally-applicable nano-optical studies of these low-D materials, and will show recent results on 2D semiconductors. 11:10 : Invited talk Nanometric imaging of the few-cycle plasmonic near-field within single nanoobjects Arthur Losquin1 , Erik Marsell1 , Eleonora Lorek1 , Robin Svard1 , Chen Guo1 , Anne Harth1 , Miguel Miranda1 , Cord Arnold1 , Hongxin Xu2 , Anne L’Huillier1 , Johan Mauritsson1 , Anders Mikkelsen1 1 Lund University (Sweden), 2 Wuhan University (China) We combined PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy with a few-femtosecond laser system to image the fewcycle plasmonic near-fields within single nanoobjects. 11:30 : Invited talk Room temperature lasers at subwavelength scale by top-down fabrication Ning Liu1 , Brian Corbett2 1 University of Limerick (Ireland), 2 Tyndall National Institute (Ireland) Lasing at deep subwavelength scale have been realized through hybrid plasmonic modes, a special optical mode at the semiconductor-insulator-metal interface,. However, most of the lasing cavities reported so far are fabricated using bottom-up approaches, which limits the scalability and reproducibility of the plasmonic devices. In this talk, I will present the recent progresses made in our group on utilizing bottom-up approach to fabricate various subwavelength laser cavities that are suitable for large scale production. 146 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 11:50 : Mechanisms of plasmon-mediated light emission in biased nanoscale constrictions A. V. Uskov1 , I. V. Smetanin1 , I. E. Protsenko1 , J. B. Khurgin2 , M. Buret3 , A. Bouhelier3 1 P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute (Russia), 2 John Hopkins University (USA), 3 University Bourgogne FrancheComte (France) We investigate spontaneous light emission by electrons passing through a nanoscale metal constriction. We find that the emission is caused by two distinct mechanisms. The first mechanism is driven by electron colliding with the effective potential of the contact. The second emission process involves collisions of electrons with the walls of the constriction. We find that multiple collisions with the walls can lead to the orders-ofmagnitude higher light emission probability in comparison to single collision with the effective potential. 12:05 : Strong Plasmon-Emitter Coupling: Beyond the Jaynes-Cummings Model Benjamin Lawrie, Roderick B. Davidson II, Pavel Lougovski Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA) Abstract-Strong plasmon-emitter coupling has received growing attention over the past decade because of the potential of engineering a plasmonic analogue to cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) that exploits mode volumes well below the diffraction limit. However, the demonstration of a true plasmonic cQED platform remains elusive. Here, we will compare current descriptions of strongly coupled systems with experimentally recorded femtosecond plasmon dynamics in order to move towards an accessible platform for high efficiency nonlinear optics at the single photon scale. 10:00 - 12:55 — Antequera Session 3A5 SP22. Microcavity Polaritons: fundamental physics and devices Organized by: Alberto Bramati Chaired by: Luis Vina 10:00 : Invited talk Advances on strongly correlated photonic systems Cristiano Ciuti Universite Paris Diderot (France) In this invited talk, I will present recent advances on the theory of strongly correlated photonic (polaritonic) systems. Applications and perspectives will be discussed. 10:20 : Invited talk Spin-orbit coupling in photonic systems: from Optical Spin Hall Effect to Z topological insulator Guillaume Malpuech University Blaise Pascal (France) The optical modes of photonic structures are the so-called TE and TM modes which bring intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and chirality to these systems. This, combined with the unique flexibility of design of the photonic potential, and the mixing with excitonic resonances, allows to achieve many phenomena, often analogous to other solid state systems. In this contribution, I will review several of these realizations, namely the optical spin Hall effect, Berry curvature for photons, and the photonic/polaritonic topological insulator. 10:40 : Invited talk Fractal and topological properties of Fibonacci quasi-crystals for polaritons Florent Baboux1 , D. Tanese1 , T. Jacqmin1 , A. Lemaitre1 , E. Galopin1 , I. Sagnes1 , A. Amo1 , J. Bloch1 , E. Levy2 , E. Gurevich2 , E. Akkermans2 1 Universite Paris-Saclay (France), 2 Technion (Israel) Waves propagating in a spatially varying potential present modifications of their spectral properties, which depend on the symmetry of this potential. Of particular interest is the case of a quasi-periodic potential. Fibonacci quasi-crystals are predicted to sustain a fractal energy spectrum, having a profound impact on many 147 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 physical properties. Such quasi-crystals are also expected to manifest topological properties characterized by Chern numbers. I will show that cavity polaritons provide an excellent platform to probe these fractal and topological features. 11:00 : Invited talk Quantum Simulations with Polariton Graphs Pavlos Lagoudakis University of Southampton (United Kingdom) Finding the ground state of physical systems is the natural quantum analogue of classical constraint satisfaction problems that are mapped into various optimization problems in technology and life sciences. Most of these problems belong to the non-deterministic polynomial time (NP)-complete or NP-hard complexity classes and cannot be solved efficiently using classical digital computers. 11:20 : Invited talk Transport properties of electromagnetically dressed graphene Ivan A. Shelykh1 , Skender Morina2 , Kristinn Kristinsson2 , Kevin Dini1 , Oleg Kibis1 1 University of Iceland (Iceland), 2 Nanyang Technological University (Singapour) We demonstrated theoretically that high-frequency electromagnetic field leads to renormalization of the spectrum of graphene near Dirac point. As a consequence, the stationary dc electronic transport and magnetoelectronic properties are strongly renormalized and become polarization dependent. 11:40 : Invited talk Exploring the potential of microcavity polariton physics for photonic devices O. Lafont1 , P. Lewandowski2 , M. H. Luk3 , N. H. Kwong3 , K. P. Chan4 , P. T. Leung4 , E. Galopin5 , A. Lemaitre5 , P. Roussignol1 , S. Schumacher6 , R. Binder3 , J.

Laussy Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) The excitation of polaritons is usually done by classical light (e.g., a laser). Here, we study their excitation by quantum light instead. We focus on a particular application of great interest in this field: the direct and accurate measurement of polariton-polariton interactions. The relevance of such an approach beyond polaritons is also addressed. 12:20 : Invited talk Quantum Statistics of Bosonic Cascades Timothy C. H. Liew1 , Y. G. Rubo2 , A. S. Sheremet3 , S. De Liberato4 , I. A. Shelykh1 , F. P. Laussy5 , A. V. Kavokin5 1 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 2 Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (Mexico), 3 ITMO University (Russia), 4 University of Southampton (United Kingdom), 5 Russian Quantum Center (Russia) Bosonic cascades formed by lattices of equidistant energy levels sustaining radiative transitions between nearest layers represent a unique system to study correlated optical phenomena. We show how the light emitted by condensates in the visible range introduces a new regime of emission for cascade systems. Namely, the quantum statistics of bosonic cascades exhibits superbunching plateaus. 12:40 : Quantum Spin Hall phase and topologically protected edge states in the polariton rings lattices Mehedi Hasan, Ivan Iorsh, Ivan Shelykh National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (Russia) We study the dispersion and topological properties of the two-dimensional arrays of the coupled polaritonic rings in the presence of the external magnetic field. We show that these structures can be characterized by the nontrivial Chern numbersand demonstrate the emergence of the topologically protected chiral edge states 148 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 at the interfaces of these structures. 10:00 - 12:40 — Fuengirola Session 3A6 SP34.

Sinclair, Salvatore Campione, Sheng Liu, Lorena Basilio, Larry Warne, William Langston, Ting Luk, Joel Wendt, John Reno, Gordon Keeler, Igal Brener Sandia National Laboratories (USA) We present a new, all-dielectric metasurface design that yields very high quality-factor Fano resonances, and is scalable from radio frequencies to near infrared wavelengths. In contrast to other recently demonstrated designs, our approach features a single resonator in the unit cell. We will present the theoretical underpinnings of the new design and present several experimental demonstrations of near-infrared Fano metasurfaces, including a gallium-arsenide based design that achieves a quality-factor of 600 at a wavelength of 1 micron. 10:20 : Invited talk Ultra-High Q Fano Resonances and its Figure of Merit in metasurfaces Manukumara Manjappa1 , Longqing Cong1 , Yogesh Kumar Srivastava1 , Ningning Xu2 , Ibraheem AlNaib3 , Weili Zhang2 , Ranjan Singh1 1 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 2 Oklahoma State University (USA), 3 University of Dammam (Saudi Arabia) Fano resonances in metasurfaces offer exciting features like high quality (Q) factors and strong field enhancement that are exploited in the resonant ultrasensitive sensors and for enhancing the gain in spasers. Here, we present our findings on high Q-Fano resonances using the metamaterials at terahertz frequencies and our recent investigation on the strong influence of material conductivity on the ultra high Q Fano resonances. We further discuss the optimization of the Figure of Merit of Fano resonances in metamaterials. 10:40 : Invited talk Excitation of non-radiating anapole mode with focused radially polarized beams Lei Wei, Zheng Xi, Nandini Bhattacharya, H. Paul Urbach Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) A method to excite the non-radiating anapole mode of a high index isotropic dielectric nanosphere is presented. With tightly focused radially polarized beam illumination, the main-contributing electric dipole mode and magnetic modes can be zero with only a weak electric quadruple contributing to the total scattering. Further, with a standing wave illumination formed by two counter-propagating focused radially polarized beam under 4 PI configuration, the ideal radiationless anapole can be excited. 11:00 : Invited talk Explicit demonstration of how path interference can enhance plasmonic nonlinearity Mehmet Emre Tasgin Hacettepe University (Turkey) We demonstrate why nonlinear frequency generation, e.g. second harmonic generation and four-wave mixing, can be enhanced via interference of conversion paths. We derive a single equation for the amplitude of the generated nonlinear oscillations. On this equation we show that cancellation in the denominator gives rise to conversion enhancement. We utilize this phenomenon to obtain further enhancement using interference of the multiple conversion paths. 149 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 11:20 : Invited talk Exploring Fano-Resonance Phenomenology with Quantum Point Contacts Jonas Fransson1 , J. P. Bird2 1 Uppsala University (Sweden), 2 University at Buffalo (USA) The focus of this joint experimental and theoretical work is on demonstrating a novel form of nonequilibrium Fano resonance, that is very different in nature to the usual (quasi-equilibrium) implementations of this phenomenon. 11:40 : Invited talk Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Absorption Philippe Tassin Chalmers University (Sweden) I will review our work on electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption in metamaterials. By combining dark and radiative resonators in the unit cell, it is possible to create dispersion-engineered metamaterials with transmission spectra reminiscent of electromagnetically induced transparency. We show how the response can be improved by designing both the radiative and the dissipative loss of the constituent resonators. 12:00 : Invited talk Optical spin-dependent Fano resonances Xianji Piao, Sunkyu Yu, Namkyoo Park Seoul National University (Korea) We introduce optical spin-dependent Fano resonance, using a chiral resonator enclosed within a pair of designed birefringent mirrors. It is shown that the interference between two nondegenerate resonances from the presence of birefringent mirrors develops differentiated Fano resonance for each spin. We prove that these spin-dependent antisymmetric Fano line shapes originate from the counter-rotating spin eigenvectors. Utilizing the spectral separation between different spin, we propose a route to achieve optical spin-angularmomentum without the aid of circular-dichroism or magneto-optical effect. 12:20 : Invited talk Interference of nano-vortex fields formed by plasmonic cavities Keiji Sasaki Hokkaido University (Japan) We demonstrate the capability of forming the single-nanometer-sized optical vortex fields using designed plasmonic nanostructures. The orbital and spin angular momenta provided by a Laguerre-Gaussian beam are transferred to localized plasmons of a metal multimer structure and then confined into a nano-gap. Nanoscale position dependent Fano resonance spectra are observed, which are caused by interference of multiple vortex modes having different angular momenta. 10:00 - 12:50 — Estepona Session 3A7 SP20.

This allows us to form the chiral nanostructures in the 150 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 atmosphere and at room temperature. 10:20 : Invited talk Manipulating the hybridisation of chiral plasmonic metamaterials using molecular and macromolecular stereostructure Calum Jack1 , Affar S. Karimullah1 , Ryan Tullius1 , Vincent M. Rotello2 , Graeme Cooke1 , Nikolaj Gadegaard1 , Laurence D. Barron1 , Malcolm Kadodwala1 1 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2 University of Massachusetts (USA) Here we show that the hybridisation of plasmonic modes (electric and magnetic) in a chiral metamaterial (inverse -solid hybrid) can be manipulated using chiral (bio)materials, and the effects are dependent both on the molecular and macromolecular stereochemical structure. Biomaterials with different secondary structure motifs (i.e. a-helical, b-sheet and random coil structures) have differing effects on the level of coupling and thus provide unique fingerprints of biomacromolecular structure. 10:40 : Invited talk Chiral Tips and Nanoparticles for Visible and Ultraviolet Plasmonics David J. Norris ETH Zurich (Switzerland) In an effort to produce chiral plasmonic structures beyond helices and nanoparticle aggregates, we recently developed a simple route to produce pyramidal tips and nanoparticles with a chiral shape. These structures, which are made from either gold or aluminum, can exhibit plasmonic resonances with intense chiral near fields. In this talk, we will discuss the fabrication, characterization, and use of these structures. 11:00 : Probing chirality of molecule in the presence of nanoparticles Tong Wu, Xiangdong Zhang Beijing Institute of technology School of physics (China) We present a T-matrix method to study the interaction between optical waves and the chiral molecule in a cluster of nanoparticles. We find the plasmon mediated interaction between two molecules is strong when two molecules are inserted into plasmonic hot spots of nanostructures. Furthermore, large circular dichroism may be aroused from structure chirality of nanocomposites. We also investigate the interaction exists between the optical orbital angular momentum and the chiral cluster. 11:15 : Invited talk Classical electromagnetic scattering response of topological insulators Tom Mackay1 , Akhlesh Lakhtakia2 1 University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom), 2 The Pennsylvania State University (USA) Classically, a topological insulator may b emodelled either as (i) an achiral nonreciprocal biisotropic dielectricmagnetic material, or (ii) an isotropic dielectric-magnetic material whose surface is endowed with charge and current densities characterized by a surface admittance. In terms of electromagnetic scattering responses frmo a topological-insulator half-space and from a topological-insulator sphere, the two models yield the same results. However, only model (ii) is consistent with topologiical insulators having protected conducting states at their surfaces. 11:35 : Invited talk Chiral Rotational Spectroscopy Robert. P. Cameron, J. B. Gotte, S. M. Barnett University of Glasgow (United Kingdom) Chiral molecules illuminated by circularly polarised light reveal their orientated chiroptical responses and much more besides via their rotational spectrum. 11:55 : Invited talk Electromagnetic Duality Symmetry in Optical Activity Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Martin Fruhnert, Carsten Rockstuhl Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) Recent research shows that the lack of spatial inversion symmetries is not the only necessary condition for a system to be optically active. For general illumination / scattering directions, electromagnetic duality symmetry is an additional necessary condition. We use these two conditions to design structures exhibiting 151 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 optical activity in general scattering directions. 12:15 : Invited talk Cold atoms and optical vortex beams Sonja Franke-Arnold Physics and Astronomy University of Glasgow (UK) Atoms that are exposed to a magnetic field display behaviours similar to chiral media. I will discuss the interaction of cold rubidium atoms with optical vortex beams, and report on our measurements of magnetic field mediated EIT (electro-magnetically induced transparency). We observed that the local opacity of the cold atoms is dictated by the structure of the optical vortex and the applied magnetic field. 12:35 : Selectively Driving Optical Matter Uttam Manna, Jung-Hoon Lee, John A. Parker, Nolan Shepherd, Tiansong Deng, Youssef Weizmann, Norbert F. Scherer University of Chicago (USA) We induce magnetic responses in meso-scale materials by exploiting the Maxwell-Faraday law of induction by employing an electric field with instantaneous curl to produce an instantaneous displacement current. We employ cylindrical vector beams with azimuthal polarization to create a cylindrical electric field, and selectively induce optical frequency magnetic responses in metal nanoparticle-based nanomaterials. We demonstrate this in 2- and 3-dimensional systems that do not have to possess cylindrical symmetry. 10:00 - 12:35 — Benalmadena Session 3A8 SP23.

Hamed Mirsadeghi, Jonathan Massey-Allard, Jeff F. Young University of British Columbia (Canada) A silicon photonic circuit, composed of grating couplers and waveguides coupled to a photonic crystal slot cavity, is designed and fabricated for optical trapping and sensing applications. Experiments with Au nanospheres and nanorods demonstrate that these devices can optically trap nanoparticles as small as thirty nanometers with sub-mW laser power. By modelling the time-series transmission data while single nanoparticles are trapped in the cavity, it is possible to quantify the size and anisotropy of the particles with nanometer precision. 10:40 : Invited talk Sub-wavelength cladded suspended silicon photonic components for the mid-infrared: fabrication and experiments Milos Nedeljkovic1 , Alejandro Ortega-Monux2 , Jordi Soler Penades1 , Gonzalo Wanguemert-Perez2 , Ali Z. Khokhar1 , Robert Halir2 , Zhibo Qu1 , Wei Cao1 , Colin Mitchell1 , Stevan Stankovic1 , Frederic Gardes1 , 152 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Carlos Alonso-Ramos3 , Pavel Cheben4 , Inigo Molina-Fernandez2 1 University of Southampton (United Kingdom), 2 Universidad de Malaga (Spain), 3 University of Paris Sud (France), 4 National Research Council (Canada) We report on development of a library of silicon membrane based photonic integrated circuits operating at the mid-infrared wavelength of 3.8um. Waveguides are formed with a lateral cladding consisting of etched subwavelength grating holes, which allow wet etching of the underlying buried oxide layer and formation of a suspended waveguide core. Experimental realizations of low-loss waveguides, bends, s-bends, and MMIs in the platform will be presented. Our recent work on mid-infrared devices in silicon-on-insulator and germaniumon-silicon will be discussed. 11:00 : Invited talk Design of integrated photonic devices based on subwavelength structures for Near and Mid-Infrared applications Alejandro Ortega-Monux1 , J.

We mainly focus on the development of a library of basic components based on a novel type of suspended silicon waveguide with SWG lateral cladding for MIR applications. 11:20 : Invited talk Efficient optimization of subwavelength gratings for photonic integrated circuits James Pond1 , Amy Liu1 , Jens Niegemann1 , Xu Wang1 , Pavel Cheben2 1 Lumerical Solutions-Inc. (Canada), 2 National Research Council (Canada) Subwavelength gratings provide additional design flexibility compared to conventional waveguide-based devices and are particularly useful for applications such as mode conversion, wavelength selective mirrors and dispersion engineering. However, subwavelength grating structures have some design and manufacturing challenges, in part due to the small features which are near the diffraction limit of most optical lithography systems used for integrated photonics. We discuss methods to design and optimize these devices and provide specific examples of edge couplers and frequency selective mirrors. 11:40 : Invited talk Recent advancements towards all-optical signal processing Ivan Glesk1 , J. Wang2 , L. Chen2 1 University of Strathclyde (United Kingdom), 2 McGill University (Canada) Recent years have seen a rapid growth in demand for ultra high speed data transmission with end users expecting fast, high bandwidth network access. However as data rates increase, present technology based on well-established CMOS electronics is becoming increasingly difficult to scale and consequently optical data networks are struggling to satisfy current user demands. Recently a number of advanced approaches have been reported developed to overcome this bottleneck based on all optical signal processing using silicon photonics devices. 12:00 : Invited talk Homogenisation of sub-wavelength grating waveguides Trevor James Hall, Hamdam Nikkhah University of Ottawa (Canada) The design of sub-wavelength planar light structures is challenging because nanoscale simulation over the full device may be unreliable. Rather reliance must be placed on a simple homogenisation procedure that captures properties pertinent to the larger scale while smoothing over the smaller scale detail. A homogenisation approach is described that combines available tools with simple design rules to accurately model subwavelength grating waveguides even closed to Bragg resonance provided proper account is taken of temporal and spatial dispersion. 12:20 : Directing OLED emission via subwavelength aluminium grating 153 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Veronika Tretnak1 , Manuel Auer-Berger2 , Joachim R. Krenn1 1 University of Graz (Austria), 2 NanoTec Center Weiz (Austria) LEDs and organic LEDs (OLEDs) are on the way to take over lightning and display markets. As with other light emitting or collecting devices, micro- and nanostructures for enhanced light control and thus increased efficiencies have already found their way into OLEDs. We chose plasmonic nanostructures due to their particularly high mode densities and enhanced optical fields. In addition, their spectral properties can be tuned by tailoring the nanostructure geometry while regular lattice arrangements can lead to higher efficiency. 10:00 - 12:05 — Mijas Session 3A9 SP12.

Linfield3 , Qijie Wang1 1 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 2 Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (Singapore), 3 University of Leeds (United Kingdom) In this paper, we demonstrate that the polarization of terahertz (THz) frequency radiation can be continuously tuned electronically from linear to circular polarization by monolithically integrating in-plane metasurfaces with two phase-locked semiconductor-based THz quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). 10:20 : Dielectric Nanostructures with High Laser Damage Threshold Andrew Chun Yong Ngo1 , Liying Hong2 , Jie Deng1 , Eng Huat Khoo3 , Zhengtong Liu3 , Rui Fen Wu4 , Jing Hua Teng1 1 Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (Singapore), 2 Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), 3 Institute of High Performance Computing (Singapore), 4 DSO National Laboratories (Singapore) Dielectric-based metamaterials are proposed to be the ideal candidates for low-loss, high efficiency devices. However, to employ dielectric nanostructures for high power applications, the dielectric material must have a high laser induced damaged threshold (LIDT) value. In this work, we investigated the LIDT values of dielectric materials for high power fiber laser applications. Consequently, we found that the fabricated SiO2 nanostructures can withstand laser fluence exceeding 100 J/cm2. 10:35 : Holographic Nonlinear Metamaterials Euclides Almeida, Y. Prior Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) We fabricated and demonstrated three-dimensional computer generated nonlinear metamaterial holograms based on third harmonic generation. Using plasmonic antennas, we built phase holograms that generate holographic images in the visible when pumped by an infrared beam. Other polarization-multiplexed optical elements, such as nonlinear lenses and blazed gratings, were also demonstrated. 10:50 : Lossy and gain metasurfaces for applications of antireflection coatings and parity-time-symmetric systems Jie Luo1 , Jensen Li2 , Yun Lai1 1 Soochow University (China), 2 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom) We investigate lossy and gain metasurfaces with pure imaginary permittivity or permeability in detail. In such particular metasurfaces, either electric or magnetic field is almost constant. Based on such a unique characteristic, we find out some applications in antireflection coatings and parity-time-symmetric systems. For instance, it is found that both lossy and gain metasurfaces can operate as ultrathin antireflection coatings. In 154 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 addition, some unique properties are found in the parity-time-symmetric systems composed of the lossy and gain metasurfaces. 11:05 : Invited talk Active conducting oxide plasmonics and metasurfaces Howard (Ho Wai) Lee1 , Harry Atwater2 1 Baylor University (USA), 2 California Institute of Technology (USA) Metasurfaces composed of planar arrays of sub-wavelength artificial structures show promise for light manipulation, and have yielded novel ultrathin optical components. Here we experimentally demonstrate a gatetunable metasurface that enables dynamic electrical control of the phase and amplitude of the plane wave reflected from the metasurface. Tunability arises from field-effect modulation of the complex refractive index of conducting oxide layers incorporated into metasurface antenna elements which are configured in a reflectarray geometry. 11:25 : Invited talk Graded Metasurfaces for Advanced Wave Control Nasim Mohammadi Estakhri, Mykhailo Tymchenko, Yakir Hadad, Juan Sebastian Gomez-Diaz, Dimitrios Sounas, Andrea Alu The University of Texas at Austin (USA) In this contribution, we review our recent work on passive and active graded metasurfaces, highlighting the relevant new physics unveiled by introducing spatial and possibly temporal gradients of the impedance along a thin surface with subwavelength resolution. We present the principles behind our designs, and a number of applications of these concepts, with special emphasis on optics and nanophotonics. 11:45 : Invited talk Durable plasmonic metal nitrides and transparent conducting oxides for flat photonics Krishnakali Chaudhuri, Jongbum Kim, Amr M. Shaltout, Nathaniel G. Kinsey, Sajid Choudhury, Vladimir M. Shalaev, Alexandra Boltasseva Purdue University (USA) Transition metal nitrides and transparent conducting oxides are utilized as metallic componentsin the design of plasmonic metasurfaces.

Schmidt1 , Javier Aizpurua1 , Xavier Zambrana-Puyalto2 , Xavi Vidal2 , Gabriel Molina-Terriza2 , Juan Jose Saenz1 1 Donostia International Physics Center (Spain), 2 Macquarie University (Australia) We show that the multiple scattering of helical beams by a random dispersion of dual dipolar nanospheres leads to a speckle pattern exhibiting a perfect isotropic constant polarization, a situation that could be useful in coherent control of light as well as in lasing in random media. 10:20 : Invited talk Robustness and fragility of photonic bandgap in photonic amorphous diamond structures 155 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Keiichi Edagawa University of Tokyo (Japan) Robustness and fragility of photonic bandgap (PBG) in disordered or modified photonic amorphous diamond (PAD) structures have been investigated by numerical calculations. The original PAD has a rod-connected random network strucrture with highly ordered local tetrahedral configuration. Our calculations indicated that the PBG of PAD is robust against introduction of positional disorder but extremely fragile against fracmentation of the network structure. PBG formation in a higher frequency region was newly found in a PAD structure of isolated dielectric spheres. 10:40 : Invited talk Hyperuniformity and local self-uniformity: Photonics band gaps in disordered materials Marian Florescu, Timothy Amoah, Steven Sellers University of Surrey (United Kingdom) Hyperuniform disordered photonic structures are a new class of photonic solids with controlled correlations on a wide range of length scales. We explore the natural connection between hyperuniformity and photonic band gaps in structures with a variety of topologies. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of strong isotropy and local self-uniformity as a topological measure for connected disordered networks and demonstrate that all champion photonic band structures can be classified using the local self-uniformity metric. 11:00 : Invited talk Transparency of dense hyperuniform systems Romain Pierrat, Olivier Leseur, Remi Carminati Institut Langevin (France) We show that materials made of scatterers distributed on a hyperuniform point pattern can be transparent at densities for which an uncorrelated disordered material would be opaque due to multiple scattering. We give a simple criterion to predict the transparency property of such a system. This opens new perspectives in the control of waves in strongly disordered systems and for the design of photonic materials. 11:20 : Invited talk Photonic structures in nature: on order and disorder Bodo D. Wilts University of Fribourg (Switzerland) The striking colors of many animals are due to structural color that arises from light scattered from ordered, quasi-ordered and disordered material interfaces. Here, we will discuss various coloration mechanisms in nature, from ordered structures showing remarkable iridescence to disordered structures that feature brilliant whiteness due to optical scattering in randomly structured media. 11:40 : Invited talk Disorder to enhance and tailor the light-matter interaction Pedro David Garcia Fernandez Catalan Insitute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (Spain) Fabrication disorder is usually considered a nuisance in photonic nanostructures but it is essentially unavoidable. However, we can use it in our advantage to tailor the interaction between light and matter. Disorder can be exploited to enhance the spontaneous emission of light and to obtain efficient lasing at the nanoscale. 12:00 : Invited talk The Role of Short-Range Order and Hyperuniformity in the Formation of Band Gaps in Disordered Photonic Materials Luis S. Froufe-Perez1 , Michael Engel2 , Pablo F. Damasceno2 , Nicolas Muller1 , Jakub Haberko3 , Sharon C. Glotzer2 , Frank Scheffold1 1 University of Fribourg (Switzerland), 2 University of Michigan (USA), 3 AGH University of Science and Technology (Poland) We disentangle the role of short-range order and hyperuniformity in producing photonic band gaps. For this purpose we study two-dimensional high refractive index disordered materials. The dielectric structure is derived from packing disks in real and reciprocal space. Our findings suggest that the band gap width can be maximized by optimization of short-range order. Tailoring of Bragg scattering at the isotropic Brillouin zone is discussed. 156 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 12:20 : Invited talk A deterministic aperiodic approach to three-dimensionally photonic structures with tailored disorder Michael Renner, Marie-Christine Angermann, Georg von Freymann University of Kaiserslautern (Germany) Many structures in nature follow mathematical series to achieve distinct photonic effects. We tailor disorder in originally perfectly ordered samples by introducing deterministic aperiodic distortions following mathematical series, e.g., Fibonacci and Rudin-Shapiro. We investigate photonic transport properties and compare them to Monte-Carlo simulations finding almost isotropic scattering. 10:00 - 12:05 — Sierra Nevada Session 3A11 SP10. Nanophotonics using Hybrid and New Plasmonic Materials Organized by: Mohamed Swillam Chaired by: Mohamed Swillam 10:00 : Invited talk Hybrid plasmonic add-drop filter based on novel micro-ring-disk resonators with fJ switching energy Dimitrios C. Zografopoulos1 , Mohamed A. Swillam2 , Romeo Beccherelli1 1 Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy), 2 The American University in Cairo (Egypt) We present a hybrid plasmonic add-drop filter based on a micro-ring-disk with submicron dimensions. The device is based on the conductor-gap-silicon hybrid plasmonic platform and utilizes an embedded electrooptical polymer to control the wavelength-selective coupling between two bus lines. The novel micro-ring-disk resonator combines the easier fabrication of a microdisk resonator with the lower capacitance of a microring resonator and provides high modulation depths, low insertion losses, and power consumption around 1 fJ/bit. 10:20 : Nonlinear organic plasmonics: Bistability of exciton polaritons and applications to optical control of Coulomb blocking in nanojunctions Boris Fainberg1 , Guangqi Li2 1 Tel Aviv University (Israel), 2 Northwestern University (USA) We develop a theory of nonlinear organic plasmonics with strong laser pulses. The bistability response of the electron-vibrational model of organic materials in the condensed phase has been demonstrated that results in bistability of the surface localized polaritons. We propose the exciton control of Coulomb blocking in the quantum dot wire based on non-steady-state nonlinear organic plasmonics that enable us to obtain near-zero dielectric permittivity during a short time. 10:35 : Highly-responsive subwavelength plasmonic photodetector for silicon nanophotonics Igor A. Khramtsov, Dmitry Yu. Fedyanin Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia) We demonstrate a deep-subwavelength integrated copper/germanium/copper plasmonic photodetector, which can be directly integrated in silicon-photonic nanocircuitry operating at telecom wavelengths. In spite of the low Schottky barrier height, we show for the first time how to use this drawback to increase the responsivity of the nanoscale photodetector. The resulting output voltage exceeds 100 meV and the photocurrent-to-darkcurrent ratio is of about 1000 for typical values of the optical signal power in on-chip optical interconnects. 10:50 : THz lattice vibrations for active plasmonics with light: Ultrafast optical response in gold/telluride hybrid plasmonic crystals Lars Erik Kreilkamp1 , I.

Bayer1 1 TU Dortmund University (Germany), 2 Lomonosov Moscow State University (Russia), 3 Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics (Ukraine), 4 Raith GmbH (Germany), 5 Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland) The excitation of coherent optical phonons in solids provides a pathway for ultrafast modulation of light on 157 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 a sub-ps timescale. Here, we report on efficient 3.6THz modulation of light reflected from hybrid metalsemiconductor plasmonic crystals caused by lattice vibrations in a few nm thick layer of elemental tellurium. Two effects mediated by plasmonic field enhancement are studied via time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy: photoinduced formation of Te at the gold-semiconductor interface and enhancement of the optical response. 11:05 : Hybrid plasmonic structures for wave mixing at the nanoscale Guillaume Laurent, M. Ethis De Corny, N. Chauvet, G. Nogues, M. Jeannin, A. Drezet, S. Huant, G. Dantelle, T. Gacoin, G. Bachelier Neel Institute (France) Our work focuses on the optical response of hybride nano-particles composed of metal particles coupled with non-linear crystal. Electromagnetic field enhancement due to plasmonic resonance is expected to enhance the non-linear response of nano-sized KTP like crystals. Here, we present our results on the modelling and the experimental study of the Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) in nonlinear cristals coupled or not with metal particles. 11:20 : Hybrid Single Mode Nanophotonic-Plasmonic Waveguides for On-Chip Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Frederic Peyskens1 , Ashim Dhakal1 , Pol Van Dorpe2 , Nicolas Le Thomas1 , Roel Baets1 1 Ghent University (Belgium), 2 KULeuven (Belgium) We introduce a hybrid nanophotonic-plasmonic platform capable of generating Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy signals from integrated bowtie antennas, excited and collected by a single mode silicon nitride waveguide. Moreover we discuss the relevant figure of merit, which represents the total Stokes power coupled into the fundamental waveguide mode for a given pump power, and outline strategies to optimize the Signalto-Noise Ratio. 11:35 : Resonance based hybrid plasmonic on-chip sensor Aya Zaki, Khaled Kirah, Mohamed Swillam The American University in Cairo (Egypt) We introduce a plasmonics sensor based on resonance. The plasmonic nature of the cavity allows the light to bend over its sharp edges resulting in more light confinement at the edges. We provide a novel mechanism of coupling that enhances the light matter interaction inside the cavity. Sensitivity of 1500 nm/RIU is reached at wavelength around 1.55 um. 11:50 : High Performance Nano-Plasmonic MIM-Based Lab-on-Chip Sensor Ahmad Bassam Ayoub, Mohamed Swillam American University in Cairo (Egypt) We propose a novel structure for a plasmonic gas sensor. The idea of operation is based on Metal-InsulatorMetal approach. The plasmonic slot mode enables high confinement in the insulator gap which is the gas being sensed leading to high sensitivity. High sensitivity and small foot print is achieved through this plasmonic design. Optimization processes yield high sensitivity as high as 1,521 nm/RIU, FWHM down to 9 nm and FOM of 169 which is the greatest FOM to our knowledge.

Nanophotonics, optical forces and the momentum of light Organized by: Philippe Tassin and Vincent Ginis Chaired by: Philippe Tassin and Vincent Ginis 14:00 : Keynote talk High Performance Visible Wavelength Dielectric Metasurfaces for Planar Photonic Components Federico Capasso Harvard University (USA) A new technique based on atomic layer deposition to fabricate high performance Titanium Dioxide dielectric metasurfaces is introduced. We show efficiencies of 61 percent, 82 percent and 81 percent at design wavelengths of 480 nm, 532 nm, and 660 nm. Meta-lenses with NA=0.8 are demonstrated at wavelengths of 405 nm, 532 nm, and 660 nm with corresponding focusing efficiencies of 86 percent, 73 percent, and 66 percent, along with vortex plates and holograms. 14:30 : Invited talk Boundary optical stress: pressure or tension? Shubo Wang, C. T. Chan The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong) Using a generic microscopic model, we show that the boundary stress induced by an electromagnetic plane wave in a negative-refractive-index metamaterial depends not only on the macroscopic effective permittivity and permeability but also on the microscopic lattice symmetry of the polarizable units that constitute the metamaterial. The lattice effect is attributed to electrostriction and magnetostriction which can be accounted for by the Helmholtz stress tensor within the context of effective medium theory. 14:50 : Invited talk General Design Approaches in Geometrical Optics, Graded-Index Lenses, and Tracing of Optical Force Aaron J. Danner1 , Alireza Akbarzadeh2 , Tomas Tyc3 1 National University of Singapore (Singapore), 2 Foundation for Research and Technology (Greece), 3 Masaryk University (Czech Republic) Graded-index lenses that exhibit strict global behavior, such as absolute optical instruments (where all ray trajectories must be closed) can be difficult to mathematically construct because of the inherent one-way nature of lens design: it’s easy to carry out raytracing when given an index profile, but much more difficult to design a lens with a specified desired behavior. A few approaches to this problem will be discussed, along with an extension of some techniques to optical force. 15:10 : Invited talk Strong coupling between waveguide-modes of opposite directionality: nearly-frozen light modes S. Foteinopoulou University of New Mexico (USA) Conventional dielectric waveguides support forwards light modes, where the phase velocity is parallel to the energy velocity. On the other hand, metamaterial waveguides having a negative refractive index support backwards light modes, with anti-parallel phase and energy velocities. We will discuss, how these two individual native modes can strongly couple into a new exotic nearly-frozen light mode. This unconventional light mode gives rise to an extra-ordinary mesoscale EM enhancement that is important to harnessing a strong light-matter interaction. 15:30 : Invited talk THz polarization control with chiral metamaterials M. Kafesaki, G. Kenanakis, A. Xomalis, M. Farsari, G. Konstantinidis, E. N. Economou, C. M.

Light interference that is accompanied by zero reflection and fast phase variations can be used to improve the sensitivity of temperature and bio(chemical) sensors with optical transduction. I will also discuss the applications of Tamm plasmon structures for spectral tailoring of thermal emission, including dynamic spectral tunability via the use of the phase-change materials. 14:20 : Invited talk Electrostatically Tunable Graphene Metasurfaces for Control of Thermal Radiation V.

Atwater2 1 University of Wisconsin (USA), 2 California Institute of Technology (USA), 3 Seoul National University (Korea), 4 Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems (USA) We experimentally demonstrate tunable electronic control of blackbody emission from a graphene metasurface. It is shown that graphene plasmonic resonators produce antenna-coupled thermal emission that can be varied in terms of spectral shape and intensity, and that incandescent devices with Khz response times can be created in this way. We analyze our results in terms of loss mechanisms of graphene electrons and substrate phonons, and we describe how device geometry can be optimized to create larger signals with faster response times. 14:40 : Invited talk Device Applications of Metafilms M. L. Brongersma Stanford University (USA) Device applications of metafilms are discussed. Metafilms are thin films of semiconductor or metal material that are patterned at a subwavelength scale. The patterning is performed to modify the effective optical properties from those of bulk materials. This can be utilized to realize improved device performance or entirely new optical functions. 15:00 : Invited talk 160 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Tunneling rectification in an infrared nanoantenna coupled MOS diode Paul S.

Utilizing this scaled diffraction limit, we present phase-resolved near-field observations of propagating-waves bright and dark focusing below 70 nm at 671nm illumination, and direct observation of short-wavelength Super-Oscillations in planar 2D Hybrid Silicon-plasmon waveguides. 14:20 : Invited talk Backward spoof surface plasmonic wave propagation and waveguide devices utilizing structured ultra-thin metallic films Yijun Feng, Xiaoyong Liu, Junming Zhao, Bo Zhu, Tian Jiang Nanjing University (China) Backward spoof surface plasmonic wave with anti-parallel phase and group velocities is demonstrated experimentally in a single-conductor waveguide composed of plasmonic metamaterial of structured ultra-thin metallic film. As an application, a contra-directional coupler in the microwave band is designed and verified that can route the input signal to opposite directions with forward or backward coupling at different frequencies.

We present an integration scheme which enables the funneling of photons emitted by single semiconductor quantum dots from nanophotonic cavities into waveguide circuits and the combined tuning of the emitter energy and cavity frequency. This allows bringing distinct sources in resonance with each other and therefore the on-chip production of indistinguishable single-photons. 14:40 : Invited talk Efficient parametric interactions in Photonic Crystals Waveguides and Resonators 162 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 A.

Kristensen1 , Jakob Rosenkrantz de Lasson2 , Niels Gregersen2 , Jesper Mork2 1 Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin (Germany), 2 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark) We theoretically investigate systems of optical cavities coupled to waveguides, which necessitates the introduction of non-trivial radiation conditions and normalization procedures. In return, the approach provides simple and accurate modeling of Green functions, Purcell factors and perturbation corrections, as well as an alternative approach to the so-called coupled mode theory. In combination, these results may form part of the foundations for highly efficient, yet physically transparent models of light emission and propagation in both classical and quantum integrated photonics. 15:35 : Quantum correlations of light and matter through environmental transitions Ahsan Nazir1 , Jake Iles-Smith2 1 The University of Manchester (United Kingdom), 2 DTU Fotonik (Denmark) One aspect of solid-state photonic devices that distinguishes them from their atomic counterparts is the unavoidable interaction between system excitations and lattice vibrations of the host material.

Young Kim, Hyowook Kim KAIST (Korea) While plasmonic metasurfaces with a monolayer metallic pattern are promising many novel applications, extending the geometry to three dimensions allow even more diverse optical properties and applications. At the same time, the fabrication becomes more challenging due to sub-ten nanometer scale alignment accuracy required for such three-dimensional structures. Here we introduce examples of extreme optical properties enabled by three-dimensional structures designed in our lab and demonstrate that some of these structures can be facilely fabricated by current nanofabrication technology. 14:20 : Invited talk Nanoparticle mediated photo-protection and - therapy 167 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Valery Victorovich Tuchin Saratov National Research State University (Russia) Nanoparticle mediated laser treatment of diseases is a novel modality in the field of nanomedicine.

Bandres, Gal Harari, Mordechai Segev Technion (Israel) We present the first PT-symmetric topological insulator systems. We find that transport in this photonic lattices is unidirectional and completely robust to PT-conserving defects.

Christodoulides1 1 University of Central Florida (USA), 2 UT Austin (USA) It is demonstrated that in the presence of gain and loss saturation effects, a PT-symmetric coupled arrangement is able to undergo a transition in reverse order to that expected from a linear model. This process was observed in a set of semiconductor microring resonators by optically pumping one of the rings while keeping the other in the dark. The laser modes gradually moved from a broken phase to the PT-symmetric regime. 14:40 : Invited talk Optomechanical interactions in coupled resonators with unbalanced gain and loss David Schoenleber, Ramy El-Ganainy, Alexander Eisfeld Max Planck Institute (Germany) We show that in non-Hermitian photonic molecules the maximum enhancement of optomechanical coupling for stable steady-state solutions is achieved for unbalanced gain and loss profiles away from exceptional points.

We describe an in-silico rational design approach based on theoretical modeling that optimizes cavitation without breaking the nanostructure. As an example, we optimize the core radius and the shell layer thickness of Au-SiO2 nanoshell nanostructures to minimize the laser fluence needed for nanocavitation, without altering the nanolens integrity. Our design approach is confirmed by nanocharacterization and in situ bubble spectroscopy and imaging. 15:40 : Invited talk Plasmonic materials for hot carrier devices Jeremy Munday University of Maryland (USA) When high-energy photons are absorbed within a metal, they generate a distribution of carriers at a significantly higher effective temperature than the surrounding lattice, so-called ’hot carriers.’ Before cooling, these carriers can traverse distances of tens of nanometers, enabling nanoscale plasmonic devices that take advantage of this phenomenon.

Stout, Nicolas Bonod Aix marseille Universite (France) Dielectric and metallic nanoparticles feature the ability to resonantly interact with light thanks to the excitation of electromagnetic resonances. Here, we present our recent advances in the calculation of the Purcell factor of silicon spherical cavities doped with emitters, and in the understanding of the link and differences between surface plasmons and morphologic resonances.

When pumped, our material shows deep sub-picosecond recovery time, large relative change of its refractive index, remarkable wavelength shift of the probe signal, and large dynamic tunability of the crossover point. All these results are potentially impactful for many applications in active nano-photonics 171 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 and tunable metamaterials. 14:40 : Invited talk Dark chameleon nanomaterials for lasing and energy harvesting Andrea Fratalocchi KAUST (Saudi Arabia) By using a biomimetic approach, we engineered an ultra-dark metamaterial that behaves as a black-body at visible and near infrared wavelengths. This material is based on random aggregates of nanoparticles with unconventional shape. Through experiments and theory, we show that such black material allows to develop a new type of laser, which spontaneously generates single color pulses through a process of light condensation. Energy harvesting applications of this nanomaterial are also discussed. 15:00 : Multipolar behavior of hollow plasmonic nanospheres: obvious or mysterious? Ari Sihvola, Dimitrios C. Tzarouchis, Pasi Yla-Oijala Aalto University (Finland) Localized surface plasmon resonances appear on spherical subwavelength nanospheres around a frequency for which the real part of the dielectric function is -2. For silver, this takes place at around 356 nm. As the size of the sphere increases, this resonance will be red-shifted. However, regarding this shift, the size matters much less than changes in shape and structure of the nanoscatterer. This presentation focuses on the resonance structure of negative-permittivity scatterers, including multipoles and plasmon hybridization. 15:15 : Spatial non-locality and Landau damping in the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to surface plasmons Alexei Vagov1 , I. A. Larkin2 , M. D. Croitoru3 , K. Keil1 , V. M. Axt1 1 Bayreuth University (Germany), 2 Minho University (Portugal), 3 Universiteit Antwerpen (Belgium) We investigate the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to surface plasmons on a metal surface, described using a continuous media model with a non-local Lindhard dielectric response. The time evolution is found by solving quantum dynamical equations in the rotating wave approximation. The solution demonstrates that the non-locality in the dielectric response and the Landau damping notably change the system dynamics. The time evolution reveals Rabi oscillations and follows a two-time relaxation pattern. 15:30 : The on and off of optical waves in planar multilayer stacks Yikuan Wang Yancheng Teachers University (China) The transmittance of two planar multilayer stacks is computed. When 537nm red light impinges on the stacks, the transmittance of Si3N4/Ag(46nm)/water stack vanishes, while the transmittance of Si3N4/Ag(46nm)/water(2nm)/Si3N4 is about 0.13 percent. If we combine these two stacks in parallel with each other, the composite structure can turn photons on and off at far fields. This suggests that the beam size and intensity of SPCE rely on the choice of dielectric materials. 14:00 - 15:30 — Sierra Nevada Session 3A24 GEN2.

Here, we generate such complex potentials on azo-dye-doped PMMA polymer thin film by using the reconfigurable holographic method. The purest exceptional point to our knowledge is generated and the skewness of eigenvectors 172 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 of the complex potentials is characterized by observing the asymmetric diffraction. Also we present nonHermitian trajectories in skewed vector space which implying this approach should enable the observation of non-Hermitian nature. 14:15 : A New Wideband Negative Refractive Index Metamaterial for Multi-band Operation Sikder S. Islam, M. R. I. Faruque, M. T. Islam Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Malaysia) A new wideband negative refractive index metamaterial for multi-band operation is introduced in this study. Initially, a bare-H-shaped resonator was designed over the FR-4 substrate material. The refractive index curve for the unit cell, displays more than 3 GHz negative real peak from C-band to some portion of X-band. The proposed design also displays NRI property in the same frequency bands with wider bandwidth, when the Rogers RT 3010 substrate material was employed instead of FR-4 substrate material. 14:30 : Transparent conductive oxide-based hyperbolic metamaterials for telecommunication wavelengths Evgenij Travkin, Laura Orphal, Oliver Benson, Sergey Sadofev, Sascha Kalusniak Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin (Germany) We report on realization of hyperbolic metamaterials operating at near- and midinfrared frequencies using Ga-doped ZnO and Sn-doped In2O3 as metallic component. The hyperbolic dispersion is manifested by occurrence of negative refraction. Control of the doping level allows for systematic adjustment of the frequency range with hyperbolic dispersion from themid-infrared up to almost one micrometer. As a prerequisite, we discuss the plasmonic properties of Ga-doped ZnO and Sn-doped In2O3. 14:45 : Magnetic Uniaxial Wire Medium Tiago Morgado1 , Joao Costa2 , Mario Silveirinha1 1 Universidade de Coimbra (Portugal), 2 CST AG (Germany) It is shown that a racemic array of helical-shaped metallic wires (magnetic wire medium) supports a nearly dispersionless transverse electric (TE) mode with phase velocity almost independent of the wave vector. The metamaterial may be characterized by an extreme magnetic anisotropy, and hence may be regarded as the magnetic analogue of the standard wire medium formed by straight wires. It is demonstrated with full-wave simulations that the magnetic wire medium enables channeling the near field of TE waves. 15:00 : Soliton-induced transparency in one-dimensional non linear Kerr/metamaterial heterostructures Ernesto Reyes Gomez1 , Solange Bessa Cavalcanti2 , Luiz Eduardo Oliveira3 1 Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia), 2 Universidade Federal de Alagoas (Brazil), 3 Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil) A theoretical study of non-Bragg gap solitons in one-dimensional non linear Kerrmetamaterial heterostructures is performed. A switching from states of no transparency in the linear regime to soliton-induced hightransparency states in the nonlinear regime is observed for various non-Bragg gaps. Soliton solutions are shown to be robust with respect to absorption effects. 15:15 : Simultaneous Phase-Matching in Dirac-Cone-Based Zero-Index Metamaterials Orad Reshef, Yang Li, Mei Yin, Lysander Christakis, Daryl Inna Vulis, Philip Camayd-Munoz, Shota Kita, Marko Loncar, Eric Mazur Harvard University (USA) Zero-index metamaterials exhibit unique nonlinear properties. Using nonlinear scattering theory, we simulate nonlinear signal generation in 2-dimensional zero-index metamaterials based on a photonic Dirac cone at the I’ point. We observe phase-matching in multiple simultaneous directions, consistent with a refractive index of zero.

We further discuss ribbon arrays illuminated from the substrate under total internal reflection conditions, for which we predict complete absorption for certain configurations. P3: Vertical dimer antennas for microfluidic biosensing Andreas Horrer, Katrin Krieg, Kathrin Freudenberger, Sabrina Rau, Lothar Leidner, Gunter Gauglitz, Dieter Kern, Monika Fleischer Eberhard Karls Universitat Tubingen (Germany) In plasmonic nano-sensors, the sensitive dependence of the plasmon resonance wavelength on the refractive index near the surface of an optical nano-antenna can be used as a detection principle. In the presented work, lithographically fabricated arrays of vertical dimer antennas are integrated in microfluidic channels. The dimer surfaces are functionalized by antibodies for the specific binding of target molecules from the liquid. Shifts of the symmetric, antisymmetric and lattice modes of the nano-antennas are observed upon binding.

Kadodwala1 1 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2 University of Massachusetts (USA) The composition of blood serum is sensitive to the medical physiology of patients. Monitoring this composition leads to diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, organ failure, and malnutrition. We present a new methodology to detect changes in the globular proteins composition of blood serum utilizing chiral plasmonic metafilms. This new technique provides a unique platform for rapid detection of disease and medical diagnosis through optical detection of serum variations.

We present here the development of a practical implementation capable of low-cost robust real-time single-molecule sensitivity. Experimental SERS-based studies are shown where the strong localized field enhancement associated with plasmonic nanoparticles is exploited for biomolecule detection and real-time chemical reaction tracking. 174 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 P7: Template transfer for fabrication of freestanding gold nanohole membrane Peipei Jia, Heike Ebendorff-Heidepriem The University of Adelaide (Australia) We developed a template transfer technique for fabrication of large-area freestanding gold nanomembrane with an array of holes with nanoscale diameter and periodicity. The freestanding membrane shows enhanced transmission compared to a membrane with the same features on a substrate. It is able to be attached on arbitrary curved surfaces and used for patterning nanoparticles. This membrane can also be cut and folded to 3D structures with dynamically and precisely controlled attitude. P8: Biocompatible, Liposome-Based Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrates Ian Bruzas, William Lum, Sarah Unser, Laura Sagle University of Cincinnati (USA) In the Sagle group, we are working with novel liposome-based SERS substrates, in which probe molecules are encapsulated in the liposome component, rather than tethered to or sandwiched between metallic surfaces. Characterization of these substrates shows extremely high field enhancement of 108-109, and good substrate fidelity and measurement reproducibility. The biocompatibility of these substrates is evaluated through the incorporation and structural characterization horse heart cytochrome c. P9: Excitation, Verification and Exploitation of Prohibited Modes of Dielectric Resonators Amin Kianinejad, Zhi Ning Chen, Cheng-Wei Qiu National University of Singapore (Singapore) We present a microwave plasmon-based method to enable the excitation of the prohibited modes of dielectric resonators (DRs). A meander transmission line is implemented to couple the microwave plasmon modes to a DR. Resonating at the prohibited modes, the DR acts like parallel magnetic dipoles and with benefiting from high efficient coupling, it make promises for application as antennas and filters in microwave communication systems. P10: Signal storage in tripod structure metamaterial Sylwia Zielinska - Raczynska, David Ziemkiewicz UTP University of Science and Technology (Poland) The quantum optical phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency can be modeled in suitably structured metamaterials, allowing for signal storage and manipulation. Classical description of the light stopping phenomenon facilitates the application of numerical methods typically used in simulation of wave propagation in metamaterials, giving new insight into the process. P11: Controlled signal propagation in a metamaterial analogue of tripod EIT medium Sylwia Zielinska - Raczynska, David Ziemkiewicz UTP University of Science and Technology (Poland) The metamaterials mimicking the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) are a new class of artificially structured materials which provide unprecedented opportunity tostudy EIT-related phenomena at room temperature. The Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method widely used in studies of wave propagation in metamaterials can be extended to simulate complex EIT media such as a four level tripod, giving new insight into the dynamics of such systems.

The refractive index of the layer is temporally engineered by an intense, P13: Strong Coupling between Silver nanoshells and semiconductor quantum dots Ning Zhou, Dongsheng Li, Deren Yang Zhejiang University (China) We report on the observation of Rabi splitting of approximately 123 meV in photoluminescence spectra as 175 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 an indication of strong coupling between excited states of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and localized surface plasmon modes of silver nanoshells under nonresonant nanosecond pulsed laser excitation at room temperature. The strong coupling manifests itself as an anticrossing-like behavior of the two newly formed polaritons when tuning the silver nanoshell plasmon energies across the exciton line of the QDs. P14: Annealing Studies of Gold Plasmonic Nanostructured Arrays Matthew Nicholson, Robert Bowman, Antony Murphy, Robert Pollard Queen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom) We investigate the plasmonic and physical properties of gold plasmonic nanostructured arrays when annealed at various temperatures. The annealing of the gold nanorods yielded destruction of the array, however this was avoided when embedded in an alumina template or encased with a nickel shell. The plasmonic resonance of the gold was also enhanced in the alumina template. P15: Active modulation of visible light with graphene-loaded ultrathin metal plasmonic antennas Renwen Yu, Valerio Pruneri, Javier Garcia de Abajo ICFO-Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques (Spain) Electro-optical modulation of visible and near-infrared light is important for a wide variety of applications, ranging from communications to sensing and smart windows. However, currently available approaches result in rather bulky devices, suffer from low integrability, and can hardly operate at the low power consumption and fast switching rates of microelectronic drivers. Here we show that planar nanostructures patterned in ultrathin metal-graphene hybrid films sustain highly tunable plasmons in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions. P16: New approaches in the design of quantum sources Carlos Sanchez Munoz, Juan Camilo Lopez Carreno, Fabrice P. Laussy, Elena del Valle Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (Spain) We present a guiding principle to enhance quantum emitters or even bring them to new regimes of operation, that consists in exploiting their correlations in energy instead of indiscriminately averaging over the full lineshape of emission. We propose an N-photon emitter based on the mere Purcell enhancement of such processes and show how-using quantum light not only as the output but also as part of a device-one can greatly increase its figures of merit. P17: Comparison of four computational methods for computing Q factors and resonance wavelengths in photonic crystal membrane cavities Jakob Rosenkrantz de Lasson1 , Lars Hagedorn Frandsen1 , Sven Burger2 , Philipp Gutsche2 , Oleksiy Kim1 , Olav Breinbjerg1 , Ole Sigmund1 , Jesper Mork1 , Niels Gregersen1 1 Technical University of Denmark (Denmark), 2 Zuse Institute Berlin (Germany) We benchmark four state-of-the-art computational methods by computing quality factors and resonance wavelengths in photonic crystal membrane L5 and L9 line defect cavities. The convergence of the methods with respect to resolution, degrees of freedom and number of modes is investigated. Special attention is paid to the influence of the size of the computational domain. Convergence is not obtained for some of the methods, indicating that some are more suitable than others for analyzing line defect cavities. P18: Static and dynamic properties of hybrid magnetoplasmonic structures Minh Ngoc Tran1 , Tom Seifert2 , Tymur Parpiiev1 , Gwenaelle Vaudel1 , Thomas Pezeril1 , D. Makarov3 , T. Kampfrath4 , Vasily Temnov1 1 Universite du Maine (France), 2 Fritz Haber Institute (Germany), 3 HZDR Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research (Germany), 4 Fritz-Haber Institut der MPG (Germany) In this work, we study magnetoplasmonic as well as dynamic properties of bilayered ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic heterostructure. While the ultrafast dynamics of this system have been actively investigated for spintronics and acoustics, their magnetoplasmonic properties are rarely explored. We demonstrate that this bilayered structure exhibits magnetoplasmonics, and have potential to be an interesting target for further research, such as nonlinear magnetoplasmonics or coupling with other ultrafast properties. P19: Ultrafast spin-lattice coupling investigation in magnetostrictive Terfenol films by picosecond shear acoustic pulses Tymur Parpiiev1 , Arnaud Hillion2 , Vladimir Vlasov1 , Vincent Polewczyk2 , Vasily Temnov1 , Karine Dumesnil2 , Stephane Andrieu2 , Abdelmadjid Anane3 , Vitalyi Gusev1 , Thomas Pezeril1 176 META’16 Malaga Program 1 Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Universite du Maine (France), 2 Universite de Lorraine (France), 3 Thales (France) We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that, upon femtosecond demagnetization of magnetostrictives materials, the ultrafast release of the built-in strains generates ultrashort longitudinal and shear acoustic pulses. These ultrashort acoustic pulses gather new crucial information on the spin-lattice coupling at ultrafast timescale.

The possibility of using of mode composition for controllable change in such distribution has been shown. Results may be used for magnetic memory applications as well as for design of plasmonically reconfigurable magnonic nanostructures. P21: A flexible THz random reflector by 1 bit coding metamaterial Biaobing Jin1 , Weiwei Liu2 , Tiejun Cui3 1 Nanjing UNiversity (China), 2 Nankai University (China), 3 outheast University (China) We present here a flexible 1-bit coding metamaterial to shape the reflection and scattering of THz wave. By adjuesting the sequences, this metamaterial can easily form different reflection and scattering pattern. A wideband and low-reflection-and-scattering THz metamaterial is exampled to demonstrate the use and ability of the coding metamaterial. Both the simulation and experiments show the reflectivity less than -10dB is achieved in a wide frequency range of 0.8-1.4 THz and is insemsitive to the polarization of incident wave. P22: Optimal and reproducible surface-enhanced Raman scattering with precisely-controlled nanometerscale gaps Joel M. Katzen, Antony Murphy, Robert Pollard, Fumin Huang Queen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom) We report achieving optimal and reproducible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with plasmonic systems of nanoparticle-on-mirror geometry. Such systems produce robust nanometer-scale interparticle gaps that can be precisely controlled with dielectric spacing layers. A systematic investigation is carried out with a variety of nanoparticles, excitation wavelengths and molecules, which demonstrates that optimal and reproducible SERS is achievable at separations around 1 nm. The results are significantly important for developing ultrasensitive molecular sensors and many other plasmonic applications, including nonlinear effects. P23: Coplanar isolator based on gap plasmon resonators E. Djekounyom, E. Verney, D. Pietroy, J. P. Chatelon Universite de Lyon (France) The isolation function in coplanar technology can be carried out by a CPW line with an assymetric geometry, in which one of the ground planes is engraved by an array of gaps with micrometric width. Such a structure shows a good isolation in the X an Ku bands, about 50 dB, and relatively weak insertion losses. The influence of the parameters of the array over device performances is explored. P24: The Exceptional Point in Plasmonic Waveguide Arrays Shaolin Ke, Bing Wang, Peixiang Lu Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) We investigate the exceptional points (EPs) in non-parity-time-symmetric plasmonic waveguide arrays composed of monolayer graphene sheets. The intrinsic loss of graphene deforms the diffraction relation in the vicinity of the Dirac point. The optical EPs emerge as the wave vectors of the propagating and radiation modes coalesce. P25: High efficiency, ultra-broadband fiber-to-chip coupler based on subwavelength gratings Alejandro Sanchez-Postigo1 , Alejandro Ortega-Monux1 , Jose Manuel Luque-Gonzalez1 , Carlos AlonsoRamos2 , Robert Halir1 , Jens Schmid3 , Pavel Cheben3 , Juan Gonzalo Wanguemert-Perez1 , Inigo MolinaFernandez1 1 Universidad de Malaga (Spain), 2 Universite Paris Sud (France), 3 National Research Council (Canada) A new grating coupler is presented to overcome the natural limitation in bandwidth that conventional grating 177 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 couplers exhibit. By using subwavelength structures, the effective index of the grating waveguide can be engineered to enlarge the bandwidth. Our proposed grating coupler achieves a 3-dB bandwidth of about 200 nm. A sub-decibel coupling efficiency (below -0.3 dB) is accomplished. P26: On leakage losses in subwavelength grating devices J. Dario Sarmiento-Merenguel1 , Alejandro Ortega-Monux1 , Jean-Marc Fedeli2 , J. Gonzalo WanguemertPerez1 , Carlos Alonso-Ramos3 , Elena Duran-Valdeiglesias3 , Pavel Cheben4 , Inigo Molina-Fernandez1 , Robert Halir1 1 Universidad de Malaga (Spain), 2 CEA - LETI (France), 3 Universite Paris Sud (France), 4 National Research Council (Canada) SWG waveguides are lossless in theory, but implementations in the SOI platform have shown that they can exhibit additional losses, coming from the leakage to the substrate. This work provides the first thorough analysis of leakage losses in SWG waveguides, establishing a direct relation between the synthesized effective index of the guided mode and its leakage losses. This relation, numerically and experimentally demonstrated, is shown to be independent of the geometrical parameters that define the SWG waveguide. P27: Transmitting and reflective subwavelength azimuthal micropolarizers Sergey S. Stafeev1 , Anton G. Nalimov1 , Liam O’Faolain2 , Maria V. Kotlyar1 , Victor Kotlyar1 1 Samara State Aerospace University (Russia), 2 University of St. Andrews (United Kingdom) We have investigated two binary subwavelength grating-micropolarizers that operate in reflection and transmission modes and transform linearly polarized light to the azimuthally polarized beam. P28: Dielectric on-chip diffraction gratings for surface plasmon polaritons Evgeni A. Bezus, Leonid L. Doskolovich, Victor A. Soifer Samara State Aerospace University (Russia) On-chip diffraction gratings for surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) consisting of a periodic set of dielectric ridges located on the metal surface are studied. Simulation results demonstrate that the SPP diffraction on an on-chip grating with parasitic scattering suppression is very close to the diffraction of a TE-polarized plane wave on a conventional grating. Presented results can be used for the design of efficient 2D optical elements for steering SPP propagation. P29: On-chip Bragg gratings for Bloch surface waves Leonid L. Doskolovich, Evgeni A. Bezus, Dmitry A. Bykov Samara State Aerospace University (Russia) On-chip Bragg gratings (BG) and phase-shifted Bragg gratings (PSBG) for Bloch surface waves (BSW) propagating along the interface between a one-dimensional photonic crystal and a homogeneous medium are theoretically and numerically studied. Rigorous simulation results demonstrate the possibility of using the proposed on-chip PSBG for temporal and spatial differentiation of BSW pulses and beams. The obtained results can find application in the design of the prospective on-chip systems for all-optical analog computing. P30: Optical negative forces on particles near plasmonic interfaces Sergey Sukhov1 , Mihail Petrov2 , Andrey Bogdanov2 , Alexander Shalin2 , Aristide Dogariu1 1 University of Central Florida (USA), 2 ITMO University (Russia) We demonstrate that gradientless light fields can exert pulling force on a dipolar particle located on a plasmonic interface. The forces acting against the propagation of light arise due to the amplification of the photon linear momentum when surface plasmon polaritons are excited at the plasmonic interface. This effect can be utilized for effective optomechanical control of nano-objects over metallic surfaces. P31: Comparing the Potential of Gallium and Bismuth Nanostructures for Switchable Optical Filtering Alexander Cuadrado, Johann Toudert, Rosalia Serna CSIC (Spain) Using numerical simulations, we compare the performance of plasmonic gallium and bismuth nanostructures for switchable optical filtering. They present a spectrally localized optical extinction that shifts upon solid-liquid transition, thus allowing a relevant extinction contrast at selected photon energies that depend on their nature and geometry. P32: Photocatalysis through anisotropic plasmonic nanoparticles with hot spots in Au-TiO2 nanoar178 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 chitectures Miguel Comesana-Hermo1 , Ana Sousa-Castillo1 , Benito Rodriguez-Gonzalez1 , Moises Perez-Lorenzo1 , Xiang-Tian Kong2 , Zhiming Wang3 , Alexander O. Govorov2 , Miguel ingel Correa-Duarte1 1 Universidade de Vigo (Spain), 2 Ohio University (USA), 3 University of Electronic Science and Technology (China) The present work reports an experimental and theoretical study on the critical influence that shape anisotropy of gold nanoparticles exerts on the photocatalytic performance of Au-TiO2 nanoarchitectures. P33: Semiconductor Nanowire antennas Jaime Gomez Rivas1 , D. van Dam2 , J. E. M. Haverkort2 , E. P. A. M Bakkers2 , D. Romero Abujetas3 , J. A. Sanchez Gil3 1 Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (The Netherlands), 2 Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands), 3 CSIC (Spain) We demonstrate experimentally and describe theoretically the strong directional emission and absorption of light by III-V semiconductor nanowires mediated by the resonant coupling to guided and leaky modes in the cylindrical structure. The coupling to these eigenmodes of the nanowires depends strongly on their diameter and length, which opens a rich spectrum of possibilities for the control of the direction, efficiency and polarization of the emission and absorption of light. P34: Reshaping Electromagnetic Emissions with Meta-substrate based on Spoof Plasmons Yao Gao, Agnes Maurel, Abdel Ourir Institut Langevin (France) We investigate the efficiency of a metasurface supporting spoof plasmons to control the electromagnetic emission of a radiating element. The three dimensional metasurface is made of an array of metallic grounded rods and it is used as the substrate of a printed antenna. We show how an efficient and directive emission with low side lobe levels and backward radiation. And also, field distribution excited by evanescent wave in low frequency is studied.

Ederra1 , Juan Carlos Iriarte1 , Ramon Gonzalo1 , Stefano Maci2 1 Public University of Navarra (Spain), 2 University of Siena (Italy) This paper presents a new approach for the design of a metasurface antenna capable to provide dual circularly polarized broadside radiation. In the configuration, two decoupled surface waves of transverse electric and transverse magnetic types are excited balanced in amplitude, and propagate in the structure with the same phase velocity. Surface impedance characterization allows field radiation towards broadside direction. Two orthogonal modes in phase quadrature are employed to excite structure, obtaining both right-hand or left-hand circular polarization.

Moreover, nanoantennas can be exploited to engineer the emission characteristics, or even quantum properties of light, such as statistics or degree of entanglement. These applications are here proposed and discussed within the cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) framework. It allows to account for nanoantennas, whose spectra are characterized with multiple resonances, coupled to two- or multilevel quantum emitters.

Garcia-Camara Carlos III University of Madrid (Spain) In this work, we propose and design a dielectric metasurface based on Silicon (Si) subwavelength pillars. A previous study of the directional conditions of the scattering is carried out in order to obtain the optimum sizes. The metasurface can operate as a band-stop filter to realize blocking back THz waves in the designed band range, while transparent transmission over the rest of the range. 179 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 P38: All-dielectric bianisotropic metasurface for microwave applications Mikhail Aleksandrovich Odit1 , Polina Kapitanova1 , Yuri Kivshar2 , Pavel Belov1 1 ITMO University (Russia), 2 Australian National University (Australia) All-dielectric bianisotropic metasurface for microwave applications has been designed, fabricated and experimentally investigated in the frequency range 4-9 GHz. Radar cross-section of the metasurface unit cell posses different ratio for forward/backward scattering depending on plane wave excitation propagation direction. At the frequency 7 GHz the metasurface transmission characteristics exhibit a 2pi phase change in the reflection spectrum while the measured amplitude of the reflection coefficient is close to 1. P39: Wavelength dependence of longitudinal photo-induced voltage in nano-porous gold thin film in visible frequencies Marjan Akbari, K. Iwata, Teruya Ishihara Tohoku University (Japan) We report wavelength dependence of photo-induced voltage in nanoporous gold (NPG) thin films induced by obliquely incident laser beam radiation in visible frequencies on the film for longitudinal configuration. The results show that for 450 - 500 nm p- polarized incedent light, voltage is negative and for 500 - 600 nm its sign changes to positive. The origin of this sign change may be due to change in dielectric constant of the film and surface plasmon polariton excitation by p-polarized light. P40: Hyperbolic-Metamaterial Integrated Devices for Efficient Infrared Rectification Pai-Yen Chen Wayne State University (USA) We discuss possibility of rectifying infrared radiation using metal-insulator-metal tunneling nanodiodes, engineered as hyperbolic-metamaterials (HMMs). We demonstrate that responsivity of HMM-based devices can reach tens of mA/W in mid-infrared region, which may find interesting applications in photodetection and energy harvesting.

In this report, we experimentally demonstrate that silicon resonators can enhance or inhibit the photon emission dynamics of fluorescent molecules. Using scanning probe microscopy, we analyze the near-field interaction between a fluorescent nanosphere and silicon nanoparticles, and highlight how dielectric nanoantennas increase the far-field collection of emitted photons, in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. P42: Composite interference based plasmonic switches and logical gates Yulin Wang, Tao Li, Shining Zhu Nanjing University (China) Full optical switch is an important element in developing photonic on-chip integration. In this talk, compact switches were proposed and demonstrated based on the interference of surface plasmons polaritons (SPP) on free metal surface and in waveguides. Additionally, an interesting composite interference was observed and discussed in the waveguide device. By cascading two kinds of different interference components, a novel interference phenomenon of phase-insensitivity was finally achieved. P43: Magneto-chiral Effect in Hybrid Plasmonic Nanostructures Marion Rodier, Christopher Kelly, Affar Karimullah, Calum Jack, Ryan Tullius, Malcolm Kadodwala University of Glasgow (United Kingdom) The magneto-chiral effect occurs in magnetic chiral media, and can be detected by use of polarised light. Although this effect is of interest in the study of the light matter interaction, it has not been studied in depth because of the important magnetic field needed to observe it, and the weakness of the effect. Hybrid plasmonic nanostructures were used to detect a magneto chiral effect, at low magnetic field. 180 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 P44: Selective detection of elevated IgG in human blood serum using surface modified chiral plasmonic metamaterials Ryan Tullius1 , A. S. Karimullah1 , C. Jack1 , M. Rodier1 , G. Cooke1 , V. M. Rotello2 , M. Kadodwala1 1 University of Glasgow (United Kingdom), 2 University of Massachusetts (USA) Protein levels in human serum are an attractive target for early diagnostics and sensors due to the direct correlation of these protein concentrations to diseases/infections. Due to human serum containing more than 20,000 different proteins, detecting a change in these levels can be challenging. Here, we present a method to selectively detect a physiologically relevant increase in the Immunoglobulin G concentration in human blood serum. P45: Revival of bistable state near the exceptional point of a non-Hermitian photonic molecule Ke-jia Zhu, Yong Sun, Jie Ren, Haitao Jiang, Hong Chen Tongji University (China) Dissipation always wasting energy, reducing field intensity or increasing threshold in conventional system, however which can turn losses into gain in no-Hermitian systems. Here, we investigate bistable state by manufacturing such a no-Hermitian photonic molecule which own an exceptional point (EP). The observation show bistable state of this system from suppression to revival only by adding loss while in the vicinity of the EP. P46: Controlling the tunability of graphene in bridged and unbridged nano-disk dimers Gilles Rosolen, Bjorn Maes University of Mons (Belgium) Graphene is a promising material for sensor applications thanks to its strong light-matter interaction and its high tunability by doping. We investigate varyingly doped graphene nano-disks in a dimer configuration and demonstrate a complex absorption response arising from hybridization of dark modes. The resonances can be further enhanced and sharpened when a graphene ribbon links the two dimers, with a tunable resonance wavelength enabled by the junction doping. P47: Precise Nanoparticle Localization using Complex Spatial Modes of Light Ankan Bag, Martin Neugebauer, Pawel Wozniak, Gerd Leuchs, Peter Banzer Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany) High refractive index materials such as silicon are of paramount importance due to their rich spectral properties and their application in directional coupling of electromagnetic wave. This directionality can be enhanced remarkably by taking advantage of the interference of electric and magnetic resonances of the scatterer. Based on this strong directional light emission, we now present a novel position sensing technique, enabling Angstrom localization accuracy (lateral), which can find applications in nanometrology and super-resolution microscopy techniques. P48: Controllable excitation of a high refractive-index dielectric nanoparticle using a tightly focused vector beam Pawel Wozniak, Gerd Leuchs, Peter Banzer Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany) Non-paraxial propagation of a laser beam allows for creating highly confined non-uniform fields. In this context, tightly focused cylindrical vector beams are experimentally examined as versatile tools for the realization of multiple excitation schemes used to study a single high refractive-index dielectric nanosphere. P49: Quantum Many-Body Theory of Nonlocal Electromagnetic Response at Metallo-Dielectric Interfaces Fouad Ballout, Joachim Hamm, Ortwin Hess Imperial College London (United Kingdom) We present on the basis of the jellium model a quantum field theory of surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in which they emerge as extended objects as a result of an inhomogeneous condensation of bosons around a topological singularity describing the surface. The benefit of this approach lies in relating the electromagnetic fields belonging to such a macroscopic quantum state with the surface topology and nonlocal response function (i.e. the retarded photon self-energy) of the delimited electron gas sustaining that state. P50: Lineshape inheritance and coherent absorption at the boundary between weak and strong criti181 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 cal coupling in lossy coupled oscillators Simone Zanotto1 , Alessandro Tredicucci2 1 Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy), 2 Universita di Pisa (Italy) We discuss a model describing key features concerning the lineshapes and the coherent absorption conditions in Fano-resonant dissipative coupled oscillators. The model treats on the same footing the weak and strong coupling regimes, and includes the critical coupling concept, hence enabling to explore the borders between these regimes, usually considered as separate frameworks. The model has wide generality and can be adapted to various fields like nanophotonics, plasmonics, and optomechanics. P51: Plasmon based three-layer antireflection coating for infrared photodetectors Jun Oh Kim1 , Jiyeon Jeon1 , Khagendra Bhattarai2 , Jiangfeng Zhou2 , Augustine Urbas3 , Zahyun Ku3 , Sang Jun Lee1 1 Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (Korea), 2 University of South Florida (USA), 3 Air Force Research Laboratory (USA) At surface plasmon (SP) resonances, we experimentally and theoretically investigate the enhanced transmission by the metamaterial based antireflection coating that is composed of the metallic disk array (MDA) atop the dielectric film. The optimized condition (zero reflectance) is analyzed by using a three-layer model and calculated reflection using matrix method which is good correspondence with measured transmission results.

We use this technique to construct a very narrow non-diffracting beam and also design shape-invariant accelerating beams propagating along arbitrary trajectories. Finally, we demonstrate the phenomenon of Einstein’s Rings, and find that the diameter of the rings in our setting follows exactly Einstein’s 1936 formula. 16:50 : Invited talk Quantum plasmons in nanoscale waveguides Xi-Feng Ren, Yong-Jing Cai, Ming Li, Chang-Ling Zou, Xiao Xiong, Hua-Lin Lei, Bi-Heng Liu, Guo-Ping Guo, Guang-Can Guo University of Science and Technology of China (China) Here we introduce two works on quantum plasmonics: high-visibility on-chip quantum interference of single surface plasmons and transmission of quantum polarization entanglement in a nanoscale hybrid plasmonic 182 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 waveguide.

Here, I will discuss a new class of optical materials, dubbed network metamaterials. The key design principle is a sub-wavelength network with functional connectivity. We demonstrate that network metamaterials harbor unexpected optical properties, such as structural color. We discuss the physical origin of these 183 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 optical properties and point out several strategies to deterministically control them. 16:50 : Invited talk Conformal Boundary Optics Jonathon Yi Han Teo1 , Liang Jie Wong1 , Carlo Molardi1 , Patrice Genevet2 1 A*STAR (Singapore), 2 CNRS- centre de recherche sur l’hetero-epitaxie et ses applications (France) Rapid developments in the emerging field of stretchable and conformable photonics necessitate analytical expressions for boundary conditions at metasurfaces of arbitrary geometries. Here, we introduce the concept of conformal boundary optics, a design theory that determines the optical response for designer input and output fields at interfaces of arbirary shapes. 17:10 : Invited talk Metasurface for the creation of surface plasmon vortex and towards multi-functional optofluidics C.-Y. Lin, C.-F. Chen, C.-T. Ku, C.-B. Huang National Tsing Hua University (Taiwan) The generation of optical vortices using plasmonics has drawn immense recent research attentions. However, in the past, these near-field vortices carrying orbital angular momentum were excited by waves that carry spin angular momentum, i.e., circularly polarized waves. In this talk, we will introduce the advantage of a designed metasurface, in which vortices could be created under linearly polarized excitations. We will also illustrate the applications of such novel device for multiple selective controls to micro-particles. 17:30 : Invited talk Electrically Tunable Metasurface Absorber Juhyung Kang, Junghyun Park, Mark L. Brongersma Stanford University (USA) We propose an electrically tunable optical absorber in the infrared regime by using the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) as the electrically tunable material in the metal-insulator-metal cavities which support localized surface plasmons. The depletion and accumulation operations at the epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) wavelength regime of the ITO give rise to dramatic changes in the carrier concentration in the ITO, which in turn lead to unprecedentedly substantial changes in the optical absorption. 17:50 : Invited talk Dynamics of Non-Linear Hybrid ITO-Plasmonic Metasurfaces Miguel Navarro-Cia1 , Heykel Aouani2 , Mohsen Rahmani3 , Stefan A. Maier2 1 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom), 2 Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 3 Australian National University (Australia) Optical nonlinearities are intrinsically weak, but can be strengthened in scenarios that provide field enhancement mechanisms. Hybrid structures combining the high inherent material nonlinearity of semiconductors along with plasmonic-induced strong fields are promising platforms for on-chip nonlinear optics. However, due to their complexity, understanding the mechanisms involved is sometimes challenging. Here, the spectral response of metal dimers loaded with an ITO nanoparticle at their gap is investigated numerically and experimentally to provide an understanding and design rules. 18:10 : Invited talk Plasmonic Metasurfaces for the Near-Field Directional Control of Light Emission Roberto Paiella, Leonard Kogos, Jeff DiMaria Boston University (USA) The use of plasmonic metasurfaces to control the radiation properties of nearby emitters is investigated with two related approaches. First, off-axis unidirectional beaming is demonstrated using an array of asymmetric metallic nanoparticles coupled to an ultrathin metal film. Second, light emission near a gradient metasurface is studied numerically, showing that geometrically tunable directional radiation patterns can be obtained at highly enhanced emission rates. 16:30 - 18:25 — Nerja 184 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 Session 3A27 SP19.

Pendry, K. Sasihithlu Imperial College London (United Kingdom ) A hot surface can lose heat by radiation but if in close proximity to another surface, phonons can also tunnel across the gap mediated by van der Waals forces. We have developed a new formulism for calculating this contribution to heat flow and will compare to other mechanisms such as near field heat transfer and conventional thermal radiative cooling. 16:50 : Invited talk Measurement of Sub-femtonewton forces at the thermal limit in fluid Lulu Liu1 , Simon Kheifets1 , Vincent Ginis2 , Federico Capasso1 1 Harvard University (USA), 2 Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) We present the first measurements of sub-femtonewton forces in fluid. The measurements, which we show to be limited only by room temperature thermal noise, are about two orders of magnitude more sensitive than has been previously reported. We apply our technique to measure the optical force on a microsphere in the presence of an evanescent wave. The results are in quantitative agreement with Mie theory predictions and the first such confirmation of its kind. 17:10 : Invited talk Significance of the electromagnetic spin and orbital-angular-momentum conservation: The optical torque Manuel Nieto-Vesperinas CSIC (Spain) We put forward a scattering component of the optical torque exerted on a dipolar particle which has been overlooked in all research so far. It cancels the usually called extinction torque, which was often considered to be responsible for the particle spinning. Also we show the contribution of the spatial structure and polarization of the wave to this torque, unknown to this date. 17:30 : Invited talk Tunable and nonlinear metamaterials made of superconducting thin films Cihan Kurter1 , S.

Scherer The University of Chicago (USA) We investigate directed-assembly of plasmonic gold nanoplates in a tightly focused beam. We demonstrate the reconfigurability of the assembly by altering the applied phase gradient via holographic beam shaping. The slower motion of the nanoplates as compared with plasmonic nanospheres allows for a precise study of their assembly/disassembly dynamics. We witness a strong correlation of their motion far from the center of the trap shedding light on future opportunities to prevent break-down of the optical matter assembly. 16:30 - 18:45 — Antequera Session 3A28 SP28.

Novel photonic and plasmonic structures: theory and applications Organized by: Ching Eng Png and Qingguo Du Chaired by: Qingguo Du and Gandhi Alagappan 16:30 : Invited talk Manipulating polarization of radially polarized beams by anisotropic Kerr media Bing Gu1 , Bo Wen1 , Guanghao Rui1 , Yuxiong Xue2 , Qiwen Zhan3 , Yiping Cui1 1 Southeast University (China), 2 Lanzhou Institute of Physcis (China), 3 University of Dayton (USA) We propose the manipulation of the states of polarization and the spin angular momentum (SAM) flux of radially polarized beams (RPBs) by anisotropic nonlinear Kerr media. We investigate the vectorial self-diffraction behavior of the RPBs induced by an anisotropic Kerr nonlinearity. Numerical studies demonstrate that the selfdiffraction patterns with a four-fold rotational symmetry have hybrid polarization and the interaction of RPBs with the anisotropic Kerr media results in a redistribution of the SAM flux in the far-field plane. 16:50 : Invited talk Plasmonic design for enhanced light emission and detection Fang-Fang Ren1 , Guo-Gang Zhang2 , Meng Yang2 , Wei-Zong Xu1 , Jiandong Ye1 , Hai Lu2 , Rong Zhang2 , Yi Shi2 , Hark Hoe Tan1 , Chennupati Jagadish1 1 The Australian National University (Australia), 2 Nanjing University (China) We report on the plasmonic nanostructures design for enhanced blue light emission from InGaN/GaN lightemitting diode structures, and also the plasmonic antenna design for enhanced responsivity of high-speed 187 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 photodetectors in the spectral range from visible to mid-infrared.

Here we will show several kinds of graphene-SN-hybrid devices and their optoelectronics applications. 17:30 : Light-trapping in perovskite solar cells Qingguo Du, Ching Eng Png A* STAR (Singapore) A new type of inverted vertical cone photonic crystal nanostructure based perovskite solar cell has been proposed. For optimized structure with a = 600 nm and R = 380 nm, the maximum MAPD of 24.0 mA/cm2 has been realized, the efficacy of our light-trapping architecture was shown by its ability to absorb sunlight slightly beyond the Lambertian limit in the wavelength range of 300 nm - 800 nm. 17:45 : Whispering Bloch modes Ben John Maling, Richard Craster Imperial College London (United Kingdom) Using illustrative examples, we discuss the properties of whispering Bloch modes, which are spatially-confined eigenstates of open wave systems with high orders of rotational symmetry. We explore the potential application of whispering Bloch resonators as integrated photonic components and in other cases where cylindrical whispering gallery mode resonators are currently employed. The effect of slightly perturbing the geometry of the system is investigated, leading to asymmetric field patterns and other potentially desirable consequences. 18:00 : Towards Single Antenna On-Chip Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy: Arch Dipole Antenna Ali Raza, Frederic Peyskens, Stephane Clemmen, Roel Baets Ghent University (Belgium) Here, we present numerical investigation of SERS on an arch dipole (AD) antenna identically patterned on a rib waveguide and compare it to the best engineered bowtie antenna. Our study shows a 23 fold improvement over the state of the art thus promising shorter integration time and high Signal-to-Noise Ratio which should ultimately enable the detection of on-chip SERS signals originating from a single antenna. 18:15 : Optical and mechanical properties of chitosan-based interpenetrating polymer networks Catherine Claire Ryan, Maria Bardosova, Martyn Pemble University College Cork (Ireland) Chitosan is a versatile polymer derived from the naturally-occurring chitin1. It is pH-sensitive due to its cationic polyelectrolyte structure- a characteristic of chitosan which is commonly utilized in applications. Due to instability in solution chitosan is cross-linked with separate chemical entities to form an interpenetrating polymer network2. In the work presented here tetraethylorthosilicate has used for cross-linking. We present here the results of our studies of the structural, mechanical and optical properties of chitosan-TEOS networks combined with colloidal particles. 18:30 : Sub-THz Optical antenna in a Standard CMOS Technology Xiaoli Ji, Yiming Liao, Qun Lou, Reixin Wu, Feng Yan Nanjing University (China) A high-performance optical antenna for Terahertz detectors is demonstrated using standard CMOS technology. By introducing the bowtie optical antenna patterned by Si material, surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) are excited and propagate THz signals to MOSFETs via a strongly localized surface wave.

Most of the published work concentrates on the animal kingdom, where butterflies, beetles, weevils, birds and marine organisms are among the most studied. Plants are generally thought to employ mostly pigments, with only relatively few known examples of photonic structures. This talk will summarise recent activities on photonics in plants and present recent new results. 17:25 : Invited talk Biotechnological routes to photonic nanostructures from diatoms microalgae and light emitting molecules Roberta Ragni1 , Danilo Vona1 , Marco Lo Presti1 , Gabriella Leone1 , Luca Moretti2 , Francesco Scotognella2 , Guglielmo Lanzani2 , Stefania Roberta Cicco3 , Gianluca Maria Farinola1 1 Universita degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro (Italy), 2 Center for Nano Science and Technology (Italy), 3 CNR ICCOM (Italy) Biotechnological routes to luminescent nanostructured materials are presented consisting, in either in vivo or in vitro fluorochromation of diatoms micoralgae biosilica shells (frustules) with tailored organic or organo- 189 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 metallic light emitting molecules. This approach enables to combine the natura photonic behaviour of diatom silica skeleton with the emissive proerties of the molecuar dyes, leading to new hybrid systems with attractive characteristics. 17:45 : Invited talk Chiro-optical effects in disordered photonics : Harmonic distortions enhance circular dichroism of Gyroids, and stochastic noise does not destroy it Gerd Elmar Schroeder-Turk1 , Johannes Hielscher2 , Caroline Pouya3 , Peter Vukusic3 1 Murdoch University (Australia), 2 Friedrich-Alexander University (Germany), 3 Exeter University (United Kingdom) The departure from strict periodic order in dielectric materials can offer properties that are inaccessible to perfectly ordered photonic crystals (PhC). Herewith, we investigate the circular dichroism of the single Gyroid PhC in the presence of spatial distortions. FDTD simulations and microwave transmission measurements on 3D-printed replicas show that harmonic long-wavelength spatial distortions (sinusoidal chirp) can enhance the imbalance of the circular polarisation (CP) reflectances. 18:05 : Invited talk Bio-inspired Surfaces with Nano-scale Structural Randomness: From Analysis to Fabrication and Applications R. H. Siddique, Y. Donie, G. Gomard, Hendrik Hoelscher Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) Various nanostructured surfaces found in nature look random at first sight. A closer look, however, frequently reveals that randomness helps to improve useful properties ranging from self-cleaning to anti-reflection. Here, we present to two butterflies - a glasswing (Greta oto) and a black butterfly (Pachliopta aristolochia) serving as prototypes for nanostructured surfaces to improve the performance optical surfaces. 18:25 : Invited talk Fabrication of Hyperuniform Disordered Photonic Bandgap Materials Nicolas Muller1 , J. Haberko2 , C. Marichy3 , F. Scheffold1 1 University of Fribourg (Switzerland), 2 AGH of Science and Technology (Poland), 3 Universite de Lyon (France) Disordered photonic materials are structures characterized by a non-deterministic variation of the refractive index. Numerical calculations predict that under certain conditions such materials can exhibit a full photonic bandgap with zero density of states in the gap. Here we present experimental results for a candidate for such a disordered bandgap material, derived from hyperuniform point patterns. The high quality of the structures is confirmed by an isotropic transmittance dip in the spectral response, measured by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. 16:30 - 17:45 — Benalmadena Session 3A32 SP23.

The phase modulation on the metasurface is derived from the ray optics analysis. Such a non-uniform metasurface is utilized as a partially reflective surface in Fabry-Perot cavity antenna. Beam scanning is obtained and depending on the phase modulation applied, the scan angle can be controlled. 18:05 : Invited talk Nanoantenna-Enhanced Infrared Detectors for Improved Performance and Spectral Tunability David W. Peters, J. K. Kim, A. Tauke-Pedretti, T. E. Beechem, J. F. Ihlefeld, P. Davids, M. B. Sinclair, J. R. Wendt Sandia National Laboratories (USA) Incorporating nanoantennas onto infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs) may offer significant performance improvements and enhanced functionality over today’s state-of-the-art MWIR and LWIR FPAs. We are using nanoantennas to concentrate light in a small volume, thereby allowing us to use less active material than in current infrared detectors and thus lower the dark current. In the limiting case, we can envision using atomically thin detector layers such as graphene. We are using this architecture to incorporate real-time spectral tunability. 18:25 : ISM (Industry Scientific and Medical standard) band flex fuel sensor using electrical metamaterial device V.

LizMarzan, Isabel Pastoriza-Santos Universidade de Vigo (Spain) Surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS)-encoded tags have gained much interest toward clinical diagnostics and drug discovery, but the portfolio of available systems is still limited. We report the fabrication of novel SERRS-encoded particles based on gold octahedra coated with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels for the identification and imaging of proteins expressed in cells. Thus, three tumor-associated surface biomarkers were simultaneous detected and imaged. The plasmonic microgels are able to discriminate tumor A431 and nontumor 3T3 2.2 cells while cocultured in vitro. 17:45 - 18:35 — Mijas Session 3A35 GEN19.

Liz-Marzan CIC biomaGUNE (Spain) A method is presented that allows the preparation of hierarchical supercrystal structures made of oriented gold nanorods, with a suitable control of patterning, lateral dimensions and number of nanorod monolayers. The plasmonic properties are fully analyzed for supercrystals made of few layers, via simulations and experiments. 18:05 : 3D chiral plasmonic metamaterials fabricated by direct laser writing: The twisted omega particle Ioanna Sakellari1 , Xinghui Yin1 , Maxim Nesterov1 , Konstantina Terzaki2 , Aggelos Xomalis2 , Maria Farsari2 1 University of Stuttgart (Germany), 2 Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (Greece) In this work, we combine direct laser writing and subsequent electroless silver plating to experimentally and theoretically study the plasmonic version of a 3D chiral meta-atom, which consists of a loop-wire structure, or the so-called twisted omega particle. The metallic wire acts as a small electric dipole antenna, whereas the loop act as a split ring resonator which exhibits a magnetic dipole resonance, leading to the separation of right handed circularly polarized light and the left-handed one. 18:20 : Plasmonic nanorod array: novel fabrication methods and applications Zhang-Kai Zhou, J. Xue, J. Li, X. H. Wang Sun Yat-sen University (China) Due to its wide applications from fundamental physics to optoelectronic devices, plasmonic nanorod array (PNA) has long been cultivated as an important functional nanostructure.

Additionally, corresponding applications such as flexible light emission manipulating and photo-detection devices based on our obtained PNAs are also discussed. 16:30 - 18:10 — Alhaurin Session 3A36 SP9. Non-Hermitian engineering in photonics, plasmonics and metamaterial Organized by: Ramy El-Ganainy and Liang Feng Chaired by: Ramy El-Ganainy and Liang Feng 16:30 : Invited talk Non-Hermitian topological photonics Steffen Weimann1 , Julia M. Zeuner1 , Mark Kremer1 , Mikael Rechtsman2 , Konstantinos Makris3 , Yonatan Plotnik4 , Yakov Lumer4 , Mark Rudner5 , Moti Segev4 , Alexander Szameit1 1 Friedrich Schiller University Jena (Germany), 2 The Pennsylvania State University (USA), 3 Vienna University of Technology (Austria), 4 Technion (Israel), 5 Niels Bohr Institute (Denmark) We present the first experimental observation of a topological transition in a non-Hermitian system. We monitor the topological transition by employing bulk dynamics only. Moreover, we demonstrate, theoretically and experimentally, topological interface states in a PT-symmetric system. The PT-symmetric structure has unbroken PT symmetry, i.e., all eigenvalues in the spectrum are real, despite the system’s non-Hermiticity. The non-Hermitian behavior is engineered by inducing bending loss by spatially wiggling every second waveguide. 16:50 : Invited talk Parity-time symmetry synthetic metamaterials on silicon photonic chips Yanfeng Chen1 , Minghui Lu1 , Liang Feng2 , Xiao-Ping Liu1 , Yelong Xu1 , William S. Fegadolli3 , Lin Gan4 , Axel Scherer3 , Zhi-Yuan Li4 1 Nanjing University (China), 2 The State University of New York at Buffalo (USA), 3 California Institute of Technology (USA), 4 Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) Recently, parity-time (PT) symmetric optics has become an emerging field which allows a controlled interplay between real and imaginary parts of refractive index. We experimentally synthesize one kind of unidirectional reflectionless optical metamaterial on a silicon chip where reflection from one side is significantly suppressed near the spontaneous PT phase transition point. In addition, on the same platform, we experimentally realize passive PT photonic lattices where we observe complex Bloch oscillations that have no counterpart in Hermitian lattices. 17:10 : Invited talk Non-Hermitian phase matching in atomic scattering Sebastian Wuester1 , Ramy El-Ganainy2 1 Bilkent University (Turkey), 2 Michigan Technological University (USA) We consider the effect of velocity dependent loss processes on the scattering of ultracold matter-waves. Due to the loss, the entire process can be viewed as non-Hermitean four-wave-mixing of matter waves. We find that suitable loss can actually strengthen certain scattering processes that would otherwise be suppressed by energy and momentum conservation and explore to what extend this effect can be put to use for atom optical applications. 17:30 : Invited talk Spontaneous symmetry breaking and switching in coupled photonic crystal nanolasers Alejandro Yacomotti, Philippe Hamel, Mathias Marconi, Fabrice Raineri, Ariel Levenson LPN Laboratory for Photonics and Nanostructures (France) We show spontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking in two coupled photonic crystal nanolasers. This is the first experimental demonstration of such transition in micro/nanophotonics. A pitchfork bifurcation exhibits two localized states, whose coexistence has been shown by optical switching with short pulses. This opens 194 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 exciting avenues for integrated optical flip-flop memories. In addition, the symmetry breaking bifurcation has been observed with only =100 intracavity photons, which makes this system promising to investigate nonclassical photon correlations. 17:50 : Invited talk Non-Hermitian Modulation Instability Konstantinos Makris1 , Justin Cole2 , Ziad Musslimani2 , Demetrios Christodoulides2 , Stefan Rotter3 1 University of Crete (Greece), 2 Florida State University (USA), 3 Vienna University of Technology (Austria) We introduce a new type of nonlinear waves in inhomogeneous photonic systems. Such waves have constant intensity in all space and exist only in complex potentials with gain and loss. Based on these exact solutions of nonlinear Schrodinger equation, we examine theoretically their modulation instability on parity-time symmetric potentials with cubic nonlinearities. We also investigate the stability and dynamics of vector constant-intensity waves as solutions of a two-component nonlinear Schrodinger equation. 16:30 - 18:45 — Coin Session 3A37 SP10. Nanophotonics using Hybrid and New Plasmonic Materials Organized by: Mohamed Swillam Chaired by: Mohamed Swillam 16:30 : Invited talk Interactions between organic excitons and plasmonic metasurfaces Deirdre M. O’Carroll, Zeqing Shen, Christopher Petoukhoff, Katsuya Noji, Ankur Dalsania Rutgers University (USA) To improve energy conversion efficiency in thin-film organic optoelectronics, light management using nanophotonic structures is necessary. Here, our recent work on improving light trapping and light extraction in organic semiconductor thin films using nanostructured silver plasmonic metasurfaces will be presented. Numerous optical phenomena, such as absorption induced scattering, out-of-plane waveguiding and morphologydependent surface plasmon outcoupling, are identified due to exciton-plasmon coupling between the organic semiconductor and the metasurface. 16:50 : Invited talk Enhanced optical nonlinearities in periodic photonic nanostructures containing patterned graphene and other 2D materials Nicolae Panoiu, Martin Weismann University College London (United Kingdom) We present a rigorous numerical method to analyze optical higher harmonic generation in one- and twodimensional (1D, 2D) periodically patterned structures containing different 2D materials, such as graphene, MoS2, and WSe2, and investigate resonantly enhanced nonlinear interactions in such devices. 17:10 : Invited talk Plasmonic resonances in gold nanorod-film coupled system Xingxing Chen1 , Richard Blaikie2 , Boyang Ding2 , Min Qiu1 1 Zhejiang University (China), 2 University of Otago (New Zealand) Plasmonic resonances in individual gold nanorod-film coupled system have been investigated. The spectral shapes are significantly modified by the gap distance. These modifications arise from the hybridization of several dipolar and multipolar plasmon modes that are strongly localized at the gap in sub-20nm domain. When the gap distance is increased further, scattering characteristics of such nanorod-film coupled system are highly dependent on illumination conditions due to interference. Finally we propose an application of the studied system in facilitating photo-thermal conversion. 195 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 17:30 : Invited talk Characterizing Selection Rules of Nonlinear Plasmonics by Maxwell-Hydrodynamic Equations Ming Fang1 , Xiaoyan Y.Z. Xiong1 , Wei E. I. Sha1 , Li Jun Jiang1 , Zhixiang Huang2 1 University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong), 2 Anhui University (China) When electromagnetic waves strongly interact with metallic nanostructures, it can couple to free electrons near the metal surface resulting in complex linear and nonlinear responses with fundamental and high-order harmonic generation. Interestingly, the complex motion of electrons in metallic nanostructures resembles that of fluids governed by the same hydrodynamic equation. In this work, the nonlinear response from metallic nanostructures governed by the special selection rules is understood by a finite-difference time-domain solution to the Maxwell-hydrodynamic equations. 17:50 : Invited talk Selecting a Plasmonic Material Using a Two-Dimensional Analysis of Confinement and Propagation Length Babak Dastmalchi1 , Thomas Koschny1 , Costas M. Soukoulis1 , Philippe Tassin2 1 Iowa State University (USA), 2 Shalmers University (Sweden) We show that the properties of plasmonic materials (and also different plasmonic waveguide geometries) have to be understood using a two-dimensional graph combining two figures-of-merit: the propagation length and the confinement strength. In this way, one can naturally account for the trade-off between propagation length and confinement that is typically observed for plasmonic materials. Our analysis provides guidance on how to improve the performance of any particular plasmonic application and substantially eases the selection of the plasmonic material. 18:10 : Plasmonic and thermal properties of TiN/Au core-shell nanoparticles Stacey Drakeley, William Hendren, Robert Bowman, Fumin Huang Queen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom) We report a systematic experimental investigation on the optical and thermal properties of TiN/Au core shell nanoparticles. Coating Au nanoparticles with TiN creates hybrid core-shell structures, which show strong surface plasmon resonance effects. The plasmonic resonance of such nanoparticles is found to be tunable with TiN thickness. The thermal properties of such hybrid nanoparticles were also systematically investigated and compared to bare Au nanoparticles. The results will be significant for key applications such as heatassisted magnetic recording. 18:25 : Invited talk New Trends in Computational Photonics Salah Sabry Obayya Zewail City of Science and Technology (Egypt) A new smoothed finite element method (SFEM) is proposed to analyse time domain wave propagation in photonic devices. Moreover, to accurately analyze plasmonic structures with strong discontinuities, a stable Bidirectional Beam Propagation Method(BiBPM) based on Blocked Schur (BS) algorithm is introduced. Finally, an accurate andcomputationally efficient rational Chebyshev multi-domain pseudo-spectral method (RC-MDPSM) for modal analysis of Photonic devices is presented. 16:30 - 17:15 — Blanca Session 3A38 SP33.

Tayel, Mohamed Ismail Badawi, Heba Tallah A. Hasan Pharos University (Egypt) Microwave imaging (MWI) is an attractive alternative technique for mamograph breast imaging. The procedures are comfortable, and the clinical system cost is a small fraction of the Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), making it affordable for widespread screening. The procedures offer no hazards and the potential is significant for detecting very small tumors in early stages of cancer progress.The proposed system showed that tumors, as small as 2 mm in breast model, can be clearly detected. 16:45 : Microwave Devices for Theranostic Applications Margarita Puentes, Carolin Reimann, Martin Schubler, Rolf Jakoby Technische Universitat Darmstadt (Germany) The evolution from a large demonstrator into a minimal invasive microwave device for theranostic applications in healthcare environments is presented. The sensor element is based on microstrip/coplanar excited SRR. The initial prototypes were bulky and could only detect the dielectric properties of organic tissue. Extensive work was done to reduce the size and packaging to include them in a minimal invasive tool and create a second operation mode where the tissue could also be ablated with the same device. 17:00 : Large-Scale Metamaterial Anti-Reflection Coating for Biological Tissues at 60 GHz Helena Cano Garcia1 , Shimul Saha2 , Panagiotis Kosmas1 , Efthymios Kallos2 1 King’s College London (United Kingdom), 2 Medical Wireless Sensing Ltd. (United Kingdom) While metamaterials are usually designed assuming plane wave excitation, in practice they are often placed closed to a finite source or an antenna. This paper presents simulation results of a large but finite metamaterial-based antireflection coating for biological tissues excited by a patch antenna working at 60 GHz. Additionally, the minimum number of metamaterial cells necessary to obtain similar performance as a unit cell (infinitely periodic) simulation is determined. 17:15 - 18:10 — Blanca Session 3A39 GEN1. Plasmonics and nanophotonics Chaired by: Jian Wang 17:15 : Invited talk Large Radiative Decay Rate Enhancement of Single Quantum Dots by a Gold Nanocone Antenna Korenobu Matsuzaki1 , Hsuan-Wei Liu1 , Bjorn Hoffmann1 , Anke Dutschke1 , Silke Christiansen1 , Stephan Gotzinger2 , Vahid Sandoghdar1 1 Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany), 2 Friedrich Alexander University (Germany) The fluorescence enhancement of a single quantum dot by a plasmonic gold nanocone antenna was studied experimentally. We show that the photophysics of the quantum dot is modified by the large enhancement of the radiative decay rate. By taking the modified photophysics into account, we extract the radiative and nonradiative decay rates from the experimental data. We demonstrate that a large radiative decay rate enhancement of the order of one hundred and a high quantum efficiency are achieved simultaneously. 17:35 : Invited talk Ultrafast dynamics of plasmonic vortices Deirdre Kilbane1 , G. Spektor2 , A. K. Mahro1 , B. Frank3 , L. Gal2 , H. Giessen3 , F.-J. Meyer zu Heringdorf4 , M. Orenstein2 , M. Aeschlimann1 1 University of Kaiserslautern (Germany), 2 Technion (Israel), 3 University of Stuttgart (Germany), 4 University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany) We map the spatiotemporal evolution of plasmonic vortices with <40 nm and 100 as resolution using timeresolved photoemission electron microscopy. The resulting sub-optical cycle snapshot images reveal the ultrafast dynamics of orbital angular momentum leading to the formation of these vortices. 197 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 17:55 : Out-of-Plane Optical Interactions of Nanohole Trimers Milled in Stacked Gold Films Mohsen Janipour, Kursat Sendur Sabanci University (Turkey) Optical interactions of symmetric nanohole trimers milled in stacked gold films are investigated. A dispersive finite-difference time-domain model is used to study the presented system through numerical simulations. The normalized scattering spectrum of the presented structure demonstrates two distinct resonant peaks. The scattering spectrum of the stacked structure is compared with the scattering spectrum of a symmetric nanohole trimer. 16:30 - 17:30 — Sierra Nevada Session 3A40 GEN4. Plasmonics and nanophotonics Chaired by: Miztli Yepez 16:30 : Coherent perfect absorption induced by the nonlinearity of coupled Helmholtz resonators Vassos Achilleos, Olivier Richoux, Georgios Theocharis Universite du Maine (France) In this work we show that the nonlinear response of Helmholtz resonators, can be used to control coherent perfect absorption of sound waves in an acoustical waveguide. Three different configurations are studied, and in all cases we find analytical expressions for the conditions leading to perfect absorption for high amplitude incident waves. Experimental results are found in a good agreement with our predictions. The nonlinear control of perfect absorption opens new possibilities in the design of high amplitude sound attenuators. 16:45 : Tunable waveguide and cavity in a phononic crystal/acoustic metamaterial plate by controlling whispering-gallery modes Yabin Jin1 , Yan Pennec1 , Yongdong Pan2 , Bahram Djafari-Rouhani1 1 Universite de Lille 1 (France), 2 Tongji University (China) We investigate the properties of phononic crystal plates with hollow pillars and introduce the existence of whispering-gallery modes. We show that, when tuning the inner radius of the hollow pillar, WGMs can merge inside both Bragg and low frequency band gaps, deserving phononic crystal and acoustic metamaterial applications. By increasing quality factors, the confined WGMs are applied to wavelength division in multiplexer devices using heteroradii pillars introduced into waveguide and cavity structures. 17:00 : Multi-particle trapping and patterning using phononic crystal plates Tian Wang, Manzhu Ke, Zhengyou Liu Wuhan University (China) We experimentally demonstrated multi-particle trapping and patterning assisted by phononic crystal plates. Polystyrene particles with sub-millimeter size can self-pattern in, for example, the square, triangular or quasiperiodic arrays, depending on the structures of the phononic crystal plates with varying sub-wavelength holes array. The analysis shows that the resonant transmission field highly localized near the sub-wavelength apertures, yields a negative acoustic radiation force on the nearby particle. We expect this system may pave a new route for particle self-assembly. 17:15 : Experimental demonstration of anomalous Floquet topological insulators for sound Yu-Gui Peng, Xue-Feng Zhu Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) Here, we report the first experimental demonstration of anomalous Floquet topological insulator (AFI) for sound: a strongly coupled metamaterial ring lattice that supports one-way propagation of pseudo-spin-dependent edge states under T-symmetry, scattering immune to boundary defects, such as abrupt variations. The very unique thing is the formation of pseudo-spin-dependent interface states due to lattice dislocations. The mechanism underlying the formation of topologically protected boundary states in AFI is applicable in various other wave systems or higher dimensions. 198 META’16 Malaga Program Wednesday 27th July, 2016 17:45 - 18:15 — Sierra Nevada Session 3A41 GEN6.

At certain frequency this type of metasurface demonstrates the topological transition from elliptical to hyperbolic regime. 18:00 : Mageto-transport study in GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As nanostructure superlattice at very low temperature Driss Barkissy, Abdelhakim Nafidi, Abderrazak Boutramine, Ali Khalal, Thami El Gouti, Mustapha Massaq University Ibn Zohr (Morocco) We have investigated the band structures E(d1), E(kz, kp) and the effective mass m*/m0 along the growth axis and in the plane of GaAs(d1=19 nm)/Al0.3Ga0.7As(d2=5 nm) nanostructure superlattice, based on the envelope function formalism. At 0.4 K, the band gap 1.53 eV situates this sample as near infrared detector. We have also interpreted the oscillations in the magneto-resistance observed by Smraka et al. The position of Fermi level indicates n type conductivity in this sample.

Advances in plasmonic and metamaterial devices Organized by: Renmin Ma and Junsuk Rho Chaired by: Renmin Ma and Junsuk Rho 08:00 : Invited talk The applications of propagating surface plasmon waves in the SERS Lierong Yuan, Lei Zhang, Qianjin Wang, Yongyuan Zhu, Yanqing Lu, Xuejin Zhang Nanjing University (China) Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have low loss with great potential for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) applications. We take subwavelength metallic grating as an example, which is a simple and effective structure to increase the enhancement factor (EF) of the SERS. Enormous electric field enhancement can be realized by the optimization of material, structure and technology, which is investigated by both finitedifference time-domain simulation and SERS EF measurements. 08:20 : Invited talk CMOS THz On-chip Surface-wave Resonator and Oscillator Yuan Liang, Hao Yu, Xiaojian Fu Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) A compact high-Q surface-wave resonator is demonstrated at sub-THz in 65nm CMOS. This magnetic metamaterial achieves a significant reduction of radiation loss at sub-THz by further stacking additional resonator unit-cell which has opposite placement with respect to the existing resonator. A 140GHz oscillator is then designed by incorporating the surface-wave resonator as low loss loading, demonstrating confinement of EM energy with high-Q factor which easily start-up the 140GHz oscillator in low power. 08:40 : Invited talk Physical Scaling Laws of Nanophotonics Ke Liu, Arka Majumdar, Volker J. Sorger George Washington University (USA) Here we report fundamental scaling laws for optoelectronic devices including nanophotonics and plasmonics. We show how the underlying optical cavities directly influences the performance of four classes of photonic devices, namely laser sources, electro-optic-modulators, photodetectors, and all-optical switches. We observe non-monotonic performance behavior upon down-scaling, which is a result of balancing the optical losses and providing cavity feedback highlighting the physical tradeoff between optical loss management and field confinement. 09:00 : Versatile and controllable excitation of SPPs by a metasurface composed of triangular nanoantennas Benfeng Bai, Oubo You Tsinghua University (China) We present a metasurface approach that can realize versatile and controllable excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). The metasurface consists of triangular shaped nanoantennas that can directionally excite SPPs under normal incidence. By properly arranging the nanoantennas according to the required phase and amplitude distribution of a SPP wavefront, any SPP beam with even complex profile can be generated. The metasurface can also be designed to realize broadband, polarization-controlled tunable directional excitation of SPPs. 09:15 : Ultra narrow resonances, giant field enhancement and sensitivity by low-loss waveguide mo200 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 des for sensing applications Dmitry V. Nesterenko1 , Shinji Hayashi2 , Zouheir Sekkat1 1 Moroccan Foundation for Science, Innovation and Research (MAScIR) (Morocco), 2 Kobe University (Japan) The resonance response of waveguide modes supported by a dielectric waveguide separated from a thin metal film by a low-index dielectric spacer layer in Kretschmann configuration is studied numerically. The impact of the loss in the waveguide to the resonance lineshape is demonstrated for s and p polarizations. Ultra narrow resonances, giant sensitivity and intensity enhancement are discovered in the attenuated total reflection angular spectra as a result of low-loss waveguide modes excitation allowing potential applications in surface-enhanced sensing. 09:30 : Hot spot engineering in 3D Multibranched Nanostructures: realization of ultrasensitive platforms for Raman spectroscopy Manohar Chirumamilla1 , Anisha Gopalakrishnan2 , Alexander S.

In addition, a tunable dual-band reflectarray antenna is proposed by integration of a thin layer of indium tin oxide into a plasmonic double metal/insulator/metal ribbons unit-cell. An array of unit-cells with one-dimensional voltage biasing distribution creates a reconfigurable meta-lens with functionalities as bending, focusing, and beam shaping at two distinct near-infrared frequencies. 08:20 : Invited talk Tunable mid-infrared photonics with phase transition materials Mikhail Kats University of Wisconsin (USA) The mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range has recently become more important for both applications and fundamental science. However, compared to their counterparts in the visible, optical components in the mid-IR are still significantly under-developed. We create tunable optical components for the mid-IR by incorporating phase transition materials that respond to temperature, current, or applied electric field into photonic structures such as interference coatings, optical metasurfaces, and thermal emitters. 08:40 : Invited talk Novel dielectric nanophotonic structures with unusual nonlinear and spectral properties 201 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 Zin Lin1 , Yang Li1 , Eric Mazur1 , Marco Loncar1 , Alejandro Rodriguez2 1 Harvard University (USA), 2 Princeton University (USA) We describe novel nanophotonic structures, e.g. new kinds of optical micropillars, slabs, and waveguides, consisting of aperiodic or complicated arrangements of subwavelength dielectrics designed to exhibit unusual nonlinear and spectral properties. In contrast to conventional, hand-designed nanostructures relying on intuitive design principles, our structures are obtained via brute-force adjoint optimization techniques, leading to magnitude enhancements in nonlinear interactions and exotic spectral features, e.g. doubly and even triply degenerate Dirac cones that result in exotic zero-index metamaterials and exceptional points. 09:00 : Invited talk Metasurfaces based on defect-engineered phase transition materials Jura Rensberg1 , Shuyan Zhang2 , Alexander S.

Basov3 , Federico Capasso2 , Carsten Ronning1 , Mikhail A. Kats2 1 Friedrich-Schiller-Universitat Jena (Germany), 2 Harvard University (USA), 3 University of California (USA), 4 Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research (Germany) In this contribution, we demonstrate that phase coexistence can be artificially introduced in VO2 by patterned local ion beam irradiation with spatial resolution much smaller than the wavelength of light. This results in a metasurface with effective optical properties that can be predicted applying an appropriate effective medium theory. These thin film structures are promising for dynamic polarization control, reconfigurable absorbers and emitters, and the tuning of plasmonic and dielectric resonant nanostructures for adaptive optics applications. 09:20 : Invited talk Widely Tunable Optical Antennas for Reconfigurable Metasurfaces T. Lewi, P. P. Iyer, N. A. Butakov, Jon A. Schuller UC Santa Barbara (USA) The ability to engineer the optical phase at subwavelength dimensions has led to metasurfaces that provide unprecedented control of electromagnetic waves. To reach their ultimate potential, metasurfaces must incorporate reconfigurable functions. The central challenge is achieving large tunability in subwavelength elements. Here, we describe three different approaches for achieving order-unity index: free-carrier refraction, thermo-optic tuning, and metal-insulator transitions. We demonstrate wide tuning of single-particle infrared Mie resonances, and describe ongoing efforts to achieve tuning via electrical or optical gating. 09:40 : Invited talk 3D plasmonic resonators for sensing and metadevice Wei-Yi Tsai1 , Ching-Fu Chen2 , Mu-Ku Chen1 , Pei Ru Wu1 , Yi-Hao Chen1 , Ting-Yu Chen1 , Jia-Wern Chen1 , Cheng Hung Chu2 , Wei Ting Chen1 , Ming Lun Tseng2 , Yao-Wei Huang2 , Pin Chieh Wu2 , Chun Yen Liao1 , Huijun Wu2 , Wen Ting Hsieh2 , Shiang-Jiu Wang2 , Hung-I.

As two main examples, we consider (i) zero-dimensional quantum edge states of photon pairs in the chains of quantum microcavities and (ii) topological phases in the arrays of bianisotropic scatterers, induced by the optomechanical configurational nonlinearity. 09:00 : Invited talk Z2 Topological Photonics derived from Crystal Symmetry Xiao Hu WPI-MANA (Japan) We demonstrate that a Z2 topological photonic state can be achieved in a system made of conventional dielectric material, such as silicon. We explore the C6 crystal symmetry to compose pseudospin and pseudo time-reversal symmetry similar to that for electrons. With band inversion between photonic bands characterized by opposite parities with respect to spatial inversion, nontrivial topology emerges similarly to the quantum spin Hall effect in electronic systems. 09:20 - 10:00 — Nerja Session 4A4 SP35.

High resolution photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy is used to characterize the bright exciton finestructure. Moreover, localized dark exciton states blue-shifted by approximately 5 meV from the bright exciton states is directly observed.

While In(Ga)As quantum dots probably can still be considered as the prime example of a quantum emitter in solid, the emergent class of two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides has recently emerged as an interesting alternative.

Garcia, Mark Gubbins Seagate Technology (United Kingdom) Hard drives with HAMR technology will store significantly higher areal densities around 1.5Tbit per square inch initially and will be able to store noticeably more data than today’s HDDs featuring perpendicular recording technology. Eventually we expect that HAMR will help to increase bit densities of hard disk drives to 5Tbit per 205 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 square inch.

Bowman Queen’s University Belfast (United Kingdom) We report a systematic investigation on the optical and thermal properties of core-shell nanoparticles composed of noble metal nanoparticles coated with transition metal nitrides. Plasmonic properties of such core-shell nanoparticles are strongly dependent on the thickness and the materials of the coating layer. We also investigate the thermal properties of such hybrid nanoparticles and compare them to bare noble nanoparticles. The results show significantly improved stability, which could be important for key applications such as heatassisted magnetic recording. 08:40 : Invited talk Refractory Plasmonic Materials for Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording Alexandra Boltasseva, Urcan Guler, Alexander V. Kildishev, Ernesto E. Marinero, Vladimir M. Shalaev Purdue University (USA) Refractory plasmonic materials offer superior mechanical, thermal and structural stability advantages over noble metal plasmonic antennas for heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). Whereas these inherent advantages position these materials as leading candidates for potential replacement of Au in HAMR nano-antenna fabrication, their bulk optical properties result in significant self-heating. In this presentation we will describe our progress in manipulating the optical properties of refractory plasmonic nanostructures to circumvent this limitation. 09:00 : Invited talk Alternative Materials for Plasmonic Applications Peter K. Petrov1 , Andrei Mihai1 , Bin Zou1 , Laurentiu Braic1 , Nikolaos Vasilantonakis2 , Stefan Maier1 , Neil Alford1 , Anatoly Zayats2 1 Imperial College London (United Kingdom), 2 King’s College London (United Kingdom) Several new plasmonic materials have recently been introduced in order to achieve better temperature stability than conventional plasmonic metals and control field localization with a choice of plasma frequencies in a wide spectral range. Here, epitaxial SrRuO3 TiN and TiON thin films with low surface roughness are studied.

Sarychev1 , Sergey S. Vergeles2 , Gennady Tartakovsky3 1 Institute for Theoretical and Applied Electrodynamics RAS (Russia), 2 Institute for Theoretical Physics of RAS (Russia), 3 Advanced Systems and Technologies - Inc. (USA) We propose a novel all-dielectric near field transducer, which focuses the light, pumped through the waveguide, into a hot spot, which is much smaller than the wavelength, without dissipative loss inevitable in the plasmonic nanoantennae.Therefore, the detrimental thermal effects almost vanish, which gives an opportunity to use the concentrator for the heat-assistedmagnetic recording (HARM). 09:40 : Invited talk Fully-integrated Light Delivery System for Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording Qian Wang, Kim Peng Lim, Vivek Krishnamurthy, Jing Pu Data Storage Institute (Singapore) A fully-integrated light delivery ystem for heat assisted magnetic recording is presented. The proposed system consists of two key features: 1) a high-index nanowaveguide is integrated with a tapered plasmonic transducer(NFT), which has a much higher waveguide-NFT-media efficiency due to the improved waveguide-NFT coupling, 2) the III-V semiconductor laser is heterogeneously integrated on slider through bonding the epitaxial layers and light is efficiently coupled to the nanowaveguide through an ultra-compact adiabatic coupling structure. 206 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 08:00 - 09:40 — Estepona Session 4A7 SP10.

Osgood Jr. Michigan Technological University (USA) We introduce the notion of non-Hermitian wave mixing and show that it can be utilized to achieve efficient nonlinear energy transfer between different optical modes even in the absence of the usual phase matching condition. We discuss the optical implementation of this concept in waveguide platforms and plasmonic structures. This work may enable the realization of semiconductor-based long wavelength light sources and parametric amplifiers which are otherwise difficult to build due to the stringent Hermitian phase matching requirements. 08:20 : Invited talk Directional Coupler Modulator based on Silicon Nanowires Platfrom Elsayed Sherif 1 , Lamees Shahada1 , Mohamed Swillam2 1 Qatar University (Qatar), 2 The American University in Cairo (Egypt) We propose an all CMOS directional coupler modulator. The device is based on silicon nanowires platform. When the cladding of the directional coupler arms is filled with an electro-optic organic, modulation of the optical signal can be achieved my means of electrical signal application. The modulator is operational at the telecom wavelength, and it promises for fast operation owing to the fast response of the electro-optic organics. 08:40 : Invited talk Designing broadband silicon devices using subwavelength structures Robert Halir1 , Jose Manuel Luque-Gonzalez1 , Shurui Wang2 , Alejandro Sanchez-Postigo1 , Juan WanguemertPerez1 , Pavel Cheben2 , Jens Schmid2 , Dan-Xia Xu2 , Siegfried Janz2 , Jean Lapointe2 , Inigo MolinaFernandez1 , Alejandro Ortega-Monux1 1 Universidad de Malaga (Spain), 2 National Research Council (Canada) Photonic structures with a sub-wavelength pitch, small enough to suppress diffraction, can behave as equivalent homogenous materials that can be engineered to exhibit a specific refractive index and dispersion. Here we discuss the design of directional couplers and multi-mode interference couplers with an unprecedented bandwidth in both the near-infrared and mid-infrared bands using such sub-wavelength structures. First experimental results indicate virtually perfect device performance in a bandwidth beyond 200nm at telecom wavelengths. 09:00 : Invited talk Semiconductors for infrared plasmonics and metamaterials Stephanie Law University of Delaware (USA) This paper discusses the use of heavily-doped III/V semiconductors as the building blocks for infrared plasmonic and metamaterial devices. We begin by demonstrating the ability to tune the optical properties of our materials by changing the electron doping density, leading to designer low-loss infrared plasmonic materials with plasma wavelengths spanning the mid-infrared. We then describe plasmonic devices created with these materials, including plasmonic nanoantennas and perfect absorbers. Finally, we describe recent work using doped semiconductors for infrared metamaterials. 09:20 : Invited talk Quantum efficiency gains by metal nanostructures in organic and quantum dot solar cells Jung-Yong Lee, Doh Chang Lee 207 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (Korea) We discuss the effect of metal nanoparticles on the quantum efficiency of organic and quantum dot solar cells. Both optical and electrical gains can be obtained when the metal nanoparticles are incorporated into the solar cells appropriately. Optical gains can be maximized when the scattering power of the metal nanoparticles dominates the absorption power. The nano-funneling effect of the metal nanoparticles improves the electrical performance of the solar cells. 08:00 - 09:40 — Benalmadena Session 4A8 SP17.

Modeling a structured material is expensive in terms of computing memory, time and cost. One needs to have the right structure or topology combined with the adequate materials responding to engineering requirements of permittivity, permeability. We demonstrate the use of a proprietary software used to find the material and shape that yield the required relative permittivity. 08:20 : Invited talk Passive decoupling of dipoles for a transmit-array MRI antenna at 7T with stacked magnetic resonators Elodie Georget1 , Michel Luong1 , Alexandre Vignaud1 , Eric Giacomini1 , Edouard Chazel1 , Guillaume Ferrand1 , Alexis Amadon1 , Stefan Enoch2 , Gerard Tayeb2 , Cyril Poupon1 , Redha Abdeddaim2 1 CEA-Saclay (France), 2 Aix Marseille Universite (France) In Magnetic Resonance Imaging at ultra-high field, transmit-array RF coils (antennas) are preferred to homogenize the transmitted field. Strong coupling occurs between transmit array elements. A passive decoupling solution is proposed based on a metamaterial solution. This structure composed of stacked magnetic resonators was studied for the decoupling of two adjacent dipoles at a proton Larmor frequency of 297.2 MHz. The structure increased the decoupling of 13.3 dB, and increased the flip angle values in a 7T MRI scanner. 08:40 : Invited talk Realization of a Magnetic Coil Based on Mode Hybridization and Application to Magnetic Resonance Imaging Camille Jouvaud, Redha Abdeddaim, Benoit Larrat, Julien de Rosny ESPCI ParisTech (France) An original concept of Ultra High Field MRI coil is presented. We take profit of the hybridization between four half-wavelength resonators to change a simple surface coil antenna into a volume coil. The device acting as a magnetic field enhancer (MFE) considerably increases the performance of a loop coil for magnetic resonance imaging. MFE is analyzed in terms of coupling of 4 electrical modes. The performances of the device are evaluated in vitro and in vivo. 09:00 : Invited talk Flexible and compact metamaterials for high field in vivo magnetic resonance imaging Rita Schmidt, A. G. Webb Leiden University Medical Center (The Netherlands) In this work we design a metamaterial tuned with a high permittivity material to produce a flexible and compact 208 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 method for concentrating the magnetic field in an MRI experiment. The particular example used in this study was a single pad placed behind the head to increase the efficiency and sensitivity in the visual cortex region of the brain. 09:20 : Invited talk Metamaterial-based Resonators for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Alexey Slobozhanyuk The Australian National University (Australia) In this contribution, we will discuss potential applications of metamaterials resonators for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). More concrete, we reveal that the unique properties of ultrathin metasurface resonators can substantially improve MRI characteristics. We place a metasurface formed by an array of metallic wires inside a scanner under the studied object and achieve a substantial enhancement of the radiofrequency magnetic field by means of subwavelength near-field manipulation with metasurface, also allowing to improve signalto-noise ratio (SNR) and image resolution. 08:00 - 10:00 — Mijas Session 4A9 SP13.

Then we report measurements of the reflectance, in an internal-reflection configuration, of turbid suspensions and their comparison with the results obtained with the above-mentioned formulas. Finally, we addressed different options of future work. 08:20 : Invited talk Physics of light scattering losses in dense nanocolloids Augusto Garcia-Valenzuela, Roberto Marquez-Islas, Ruben G. Barrera Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (Mexico) New physical insight into the dependence of scattering losses of nano-colloidal suspensions with the particle concentration is provided. The new knowledge is then used to investigate the behavior of scattering losses in resonating dielectric nanoparticles and explore possible ways to reduce it in disordered metamaterials. Additionally, the understanding and impact of particle density fluctuations on the effective optical properties of nanocolloids is addressed. 08:40 : Invited talk Metallic Nanocolloids: Theoretical Modeling and Characterization Techniques Ana Lilia Gonzalez, Enrique Sanchez Mora Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (Mexico) Experimental techniques such as microscopy and spectroscopy offer information of a colloidal sample of metallic nanoparticles about its concentration, size and shape distribution. On the other hand, some theoretical models such as DDA allows estimate the position, intensity and number of surface plasmon of a nanoparticle with specific size and shape. We present some cases where theorerical and experimental results can be complemented one each other to give a precise description of the size and shape of the nanoparticle. 209 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 09:00 : Invited talk Thermo-optical response of nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix Emmanuel Haro-Poniatowski1 , M. Jimenez de Castro2 , I. Camarillo1 , G. Munoz1 , J. Toudert2 , R. Serna2 1 Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana Iztapalapa (Mexico), 2 CSIC (Spain) Nanoparticles can be immersed in various materials and in particular in glasses, modifying their physical properties. In the present work we investigate the cases of Bi and CuCl nanocrystals embedded in two different glasses. The thermo-optical properties of these materials are described in detail. 09:20 : Invited talk Graphene-based random meta-laser Andrea Marini1 , Javier F. Garcia de Abajo2 1 ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Spain), 2 ICREA (Spain) Controlling the optical energy flow inside random media is a research frontier of photonics. In spite of their success, random lasers still lack external tunability, reproducibility, and control over the beam spatial pattern, thus hindering their application in practical devices. Here we show that a graphene random metamaterial provides the means to overcome these limitations through its extraordinarily-low threshold for saturable absorption leading to efficient self-organization of the emitted light. 09:40 : Invited talk Landau Damping in the Nonlocal Response of Metal-Dielectric Metamaterials Felipe Perez-Rodriguez Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (Mexico) The propagation of electromagnetic waves through a one-dimensional periodic heterostructureof bilayers with nonlocal metal inclusions is studied. It is shown that the nonlocalityof metal conductivity leads to the emergence of the fundamental collisionless Landau damping, which considerably alters the photonic transmission of the metal-dielectric metamaterial withinthe THz and near-infrared frequency range. 08:00 - 10:00 — Sierra Nevada Session 4A10 SP9. Non-Hermitian engineering in photonics, plasmonics and metamaterial Organized by: Ramy El-Ganainy and Liang Feng Chaired by: Ramy El-Ganainy and Liang Feng 08:00 : Invited talk PT-symmetry breaking in the steady state of coupled phonon lasers Kosmas Kepesidis1 , Thomas Milburn1 , Konstantinos Makris2 , Stefan Rotter2 , Peter Rabl1 1 Atominstitut (Austria), 2 Institute for Theoretical Physics - TU Wien (Austria) We discuss the phenomenon of PT-symmetric breaking in the steady state distribution of noisy systems with balanced gain and loss. By considering a system of two coupled mechanical resonators with optically-induced loss and gain, we show that the combination of nonlinear saturation effects and thermal noise results in a unexpected steady-state behavior that differs significantly from the usual dynamical picture of PT-symmetry breaking. 08:20 : Invited talk Dynamically encircling exceptional points in a waveguide: asymmetric mode switching from the breakdown of adiabaticity Jorg Doppler1 , Alexei Mailybaev2 , Julian Bohm3 , Ulrich Kuhl3 , Adrian Girschik1 , Florian Libisch1 , Thomas Milburn1 , Peter Rabl1 , Nimrod Moiseyev4 , Stefan Rotter1 1 Vienna University of Technology (Austria), 2 Instituto Nacional de Matematica Pura e Aplicada - IMPA (Brazil), 3 Universite Nice Sophia Antipolis (France), 4 Technion (Israel) In my talk I will present our recent work on encircling so-called exceptional points. In particular, I will show 210 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 that a fully dynamical rather than a parametric encircling of these non-Hermitian degeneracies leads to an asymmetric mode switching. Mapping this feature onto the transmission through two-mode waveguides allows us to access this phenomenon for the first time in the experiment. 08:40 : Invited talk Selective amplification of semi-chiral defect states Henning Schomerus Lancaster University (United Kingdom) In systems with suitable symmetries, topologically protected states can arise that are immune to perturbations. We discuss how the appearance of such states can be tailored by modifying the chiral symmetry, which is one of the most common symmetries exploited in artificially engineered systems. 09:00 : Invited talk Parity-time-symmetric photonic hypercrystals Oksana Shramkova, G. P. Tsironis University of Crete (Greece) In this work we investigate the electromagnetic wave propagation in a PT-symmetric hypercrystal composed of hyperbolic metamaterial layers separated by dielectric media with balanced loss and gain. The effect of the loss/gain level on the evolution of dispersion curves is considered. It is shown that the scattering properties of the stack and spontaneous symmetry breaking are strongly influenced by the constitutive and geometrical parameters of the layers and wave angles of incidence. 09:20 : Invited talk Scattering in PT and RT Symmetric Multimode Waveguides: Generalized Conservation Laws beyond One Dimension Li Ge1 , Konstantinos G. Makris2 , Demetrios N. Christodoulides3 , Liang Feng4 1 CUNY (USA), 2 University of Crete (Greece), 3 University of Central Florida (USA), 4 The State University of New York at Buffalo (USA) We extend the generalized conservation law of light propagating in a one-dimensional PT-symmetric system to a multimode system with either PT or RT symmetry, in which higher dimensional investigations are necessary. These conservation laws exist not only in a matrix form for the transmission and reflection matrices, they also exist in a scalar form for generalized transmittance and reflectance. 09:40 : Invited talk Symmetry approach to non-Hermitian waveguide arrays Julio Guerrero1 , Blas Manuel Rodriguez-Lara2 1 Universidad de Murcia (Spain), 2 INAOE (Mexico) We show that a wide class of non-Hermitian finite waveguide couplers, those with non-balanced gain and losses and complex couplings, possess an underlying SO(3,1) symmetry realized in a non-unitary way, i.e., they are finite, non-unitary, optical realizations of the Lorentz group in 3+1D. We give analytic solutions for the mode-coupling equations of the simplest array of the class: the non-hermitian dimer. 10:30 - 12:30 — Malaga Session 4A11 SP5.

This solution overcomes the limitation of conventional nearfield RFID readers, which are unable to define an accurate detection zone due to the presence of significant levels of radiation leakage. We analyze the field distribution and polarization of several structures to determine the most suitable configuration for different applications. 12:10 : Invited talk Additive manufacturing of dielectric lenses for electromagnetic beam control Jianjia Yi1 , Andre de Lustrac1 , Gerard-Pascal Piau2 , Shah Nawaz Burokur3 1 Universite Paris Sud (France), 2 AIRBUS Group Innovations (France), 3 Universite Paris Ouest (France) Dielectric lenses are designed using Quasi-Conformal Transformation Optics (QCTO) concept and fabricated by additive manufacturing for the control of wave propagation direction.

I will also talk about biomimetic metasurfaces with such radiative-cooling properties. 10:50 : Invited talk High speed optical modulators with tunable metasurface absorber Yu Yao, Ali Basiri Arizona State University (USA) We show that graphene can be integrated into the metasurface absorbers to realize high speed strong optical modulation in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength. Our device design is featured with a maximum modulation depth up to 100percent and an insertion loss of 11:10 : Invited talk Atomic metasurface for control single photons Ming Zhou, Jingfeng Liu, Mikhail Kats, Zongfu Yu University of Wisconsin (USA) An atom with a resonant transition can capture the energy of a single photon and store it in the excited energy level for a brief moment, before it is re-emitted. During this process, a phase is acquired. By exploiting this resonant scattering phase in electronic transitions, here we show that atomic metasurface can be realized to control non-classical light such as Fock states. 11:30 : Invited talk Tunable metasurfaces for active manipulations of electromagnetic waves Ziqi Miao, Che Qu, Shaojie Ma, Shulin Sun, Qiong He, Lei Zhou Fudan University (China) Metasurfaces, ultrathin metamaterials composed by array of planar meta-atoms with pre-designed electromagnetic (EM) properties, have attracted extensive attention recently. However, so far the realized metasurfaces are mostly passive systems, which cannot be used to dynamically control EM waves. In this talk, we briefly summarize our recent efforts in making tunable metasurfaces to actively control EM waves. 10:30 - 12:50 — Nerja Session 4A13 SP35.

Schneider, J. Jatschka, N. Jahr, D. Zopf, A. Dathe, J. Wirth, F. Garwe, A. Csaki, O. Stranik, W. Fritzsche Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Germany) Plasmonic nanostructures promise to provide sensing capabilities with the potential for ultrasensitive and robust assays in a high parallelization, and without the need for marker. Upon binding of molecules, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of these structure is changed, and can be used as sensoric readout. By using single plasmonic nanostructures as sensor, an ultimate miniaturisation as well as paralellization (multiplexing) is possible. 11:10 : Invited talk Plasmonic (Nano)biosensors for Clinical Chemistry Jean-Francois Masson Universite de Montreal (Canada) In this presentation, our efforts towards the development of novel nanomaterials applied for sensing molecules in crude biofluids will be discussed.

Kang, A. Badea, S. S. Rubakhin, J. V. Sweedler, J. A. Rogers, Ralph Nuzzo University of Illinois (USA) Live cell imaging, essential in monitoring dynamic cell functions, is difficult due to the optical transparency of cells. Stain-based imaging, however, often impacts the cell functions being observed, creating a need for live cell imaging techniques with minimal physical and chemical effects on the cell. We herein describe a simple reflection imaging system consisting of a plasmonic crystal, a common laboratory microscope, and band-pass filters, and demonstrate its capabilities for quantitative imaging and in-situ monitoring of live cells. 11:50 : Invited talk Graphene plasmonics for tunable mid-infrared biosensors Daniel Rodrigo1 , Odeta Limaj1 , Davide Janner2 , Dordaneh Etezadi1 , F.

Raaijmakers1 1 University Medical Center Utrecht (The Netherlands), 2 ITMO University (Russia) MRI of the body at 7T or higher requires dedicated antenna arrays. This work is presenting two alternative antenna designs for this purpose. One design increases the space between the antenna and the patient resulting in enhanced, but still acceptable, coupling levels. The other design uses sinusoidally shaped antenna legs and is therefore called ’snake antenna’. Both designs have demonstrated good imaging performance and equal or better transmit efficiency while realizing up to 45 percent lower SAR levels. 10:50 : Invited talk Parallel Transceive for 7T MRI with Mushroom Electromagnetic Bandgap Structures A.

We exploit the extreme optomechanical interaction strengths offered by subwavelength field confinement to create large optical forces and sensitive readout of mechanical motion. We show that in this large coupling regime, the optomechanical transduction becomes highly nonlinear, even for thermal motion. This provides a path to the creation of quantum states of motion. Moreover, these systems can be used to establish nonreciprocal acoustic transport in optomechanical metamaterials. 12:30 : Enhancement of an Ultra-Wide Band Antenna System for Breast Cancer Detection using Metamaterials Asma Mohamed Boudellioua, Mohammed Bait-Suwailam Sultan Qaboos University (Oman) Recently, microwave imaging brought attention as a promising method used for early breast cancer detection.

The polarimeter has six outputs that allow for a direct synthesis of the Stokes parameters. This outputs come from three silicon nanoantennas coupled to three waveguides, so that each nanoantenna responds to a certain polarization state by changing the amount of optical power coupled to each direction of propagation along the coupled waveguide. 10:45 : Optical properties of nanoparticle chains (Ag, Au, Ag-Au) embedded in a dielectric matrix Alexandre Fafin, Senda Yazidi, Sophie Camelio, David Babonneau Universite de Poitiers (France) We investigate the optical properties of Ag-Au nanoparticle chains embedded in a dielectric matrix by the FDTD method. We show that it would be preferable to use pure metal (Ag or Au), instead of Ag-Au, to obtain a maximum field enhancement. We also study the optimal gap between nanoparticles to have a maximum field enhancement at the capping layer/air interface. It appears that a compromise has to be found to reach the best field-enhancement effect. 11:00 : Unravelling the optomechanical nature of plasmonic trapping Pau Mestres, Johann Berthelot, Srdjan S.

For validation, we designed an array of a 9 x 9 resonators, andshowed through numerical simulation that appreciable power conversion eciency and bandwidthenhancement compared with harvester arrays reported in the literature. 10:45 : Microstrip Patch Antenna Gain Enhancement using FSS Radome for Millimeter-waves Applications Sidali Attachi , Shaker Saleh, Mouloud Bouzouad Telecommunications, Signals and Systems Laboratory (Algeria) A high gain patch antenna using multilayer layers FSS radome operating at 43.5 GHz is proposed. FSS radome unit is placed in the near-field region of the microstrip patch antenna (MPA), to improve the antenna gain and directivity. The gain is improved by 9.4 dBi compared to patch antenna alone. 11:00 : Design, Fabrication and Testing of Negative Index Metamaterials for X, Ku, and K Microwave bands David Lee1 , James Vedral2 , Randall L. Musselman3 , Anatoliy Pinchuk2 1 The MITRE Corporation (USA), 2 University of Colorado (USA), 3 U.S. Air Force Academy (USA) Metamaterials with negative index of refraction have potential to improve the efficiency and reliability of microwave systems, such as antennae and radomes. However, high losses and narrow frequency band of most negative index metamaterials hamper practical applications of these novel materials. In this work we present our recent theoretical and experimental results of the design, fabrication and testing of low-loss and wide band negative index metamaterials for X, Ku, and K microwave frequency bands. 11:15 : Wood zone plate lens based on fishnet metamaterial Bakhtiyar Orazbayev1 , Miguel Navarro-Cia2 , Miguel Beruete1 1 Public University of Navarre (Spain), 2 University of Birmingham (United Kingdom) A study of a low-profile hybrid Wood zone plate fishnet metamaterial lens working at f = 99 GHz is presented. The use of fishnet metamaterial with effective refractive index close to zero (n = 0.51) as a medium for Fresnel zones allows to reduce the reflections from the metalens and increase the overall efficiency, while maintaining low profile, low cost and ease of manufacturing. The performance of metalens was analyzed numerically and confirmed experimentally, demonstrating a good agreement. 11:30 : Gold nanotube metamaterial for plasmonic cavity resonator Junxi Zhang1 , Junfeng Wang1 , Cheng Zhang2 , Haojie Song1 , Pei Wang2 , Yonghua Lu2 , Guangtao Fei1 , Lide Zhang1 , Lin Zhang3 1 Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), 2 University of Science and Technology (China), 3 Aston University (United Kingdom) We present a plasmonic cavity resonator based on a gold nanotube array embedded in an anodic aluminum oxide membrane. The gold nanotube metamaterial performs multipolar resonance modes of surface plasmons. Furthermore, FDTD simulation demonstrates the electric fields of the longitudinal resonance modes are focused on the interfaces between the aluminum oxide and the gold nanotubes, which exhibit obvious standing-wave modes with high-order harmonics, thus the gold nanotube metamaterial can be worked as a plasmonic cavity resonator. 11:45 : Electronically tunable band-stop filter based on spoof plasmonic waveguide 225 META’16 Malaga Program Thursday 28th July, 2016 Qian Xun Xiao, Yong Jin Zhou Shanghai University (China) A band-stop filter based on spoof plasmonic waveguide loaded with split ring resonator (SRR) has been demonstrated. It has been shown that by introducing the varactor diode, the resonant frequency of the filter can be electronically tuned by varying the reverse voltage on the diode. The numerical simulations verified that tunable resonant frequency of the filter varies when the bias voltage is changed. Such tunable plasmonic filter could find potential applications in integrated circuits at the microwave/terahertz frequencies. 226 META’16 Malaga Program Index Index A Rahim Hasliza : 3P1 A.
