AbstractWe introduce a mechanism that can both hold and amplify electromagnetic waves by rapidly changing the permittivity of the medium during the wave travel from a positive to a dispersionless (i.e. non-Foster) negative value and then back again. The underlying physics behind this phenomenon is theoretically explored by considering plane wave and Gaussian pulse propagation in an unbounded medium.

AbstractThe ability to perform mathematical computations using metastructures is an emergent paradigm that carries the potential of wave-based analog computing to the realm of near-speed-of-light, low-loss, compact devices. We theoretically introduce and experimentally verify the concept of a reconfigurable metastructure that performs analog complex mathematical computations using electromagnetic waves.

AbstractInverse-designed silicon photonic metastructures offer an efficient platform to perform analogue computations with electromagnetic waves. However, due to computational difficulties, scaling up these metastructures to handle a large number of data channels is not trivial. Furthermore, a typical inverse-design procedure is limited to a small computational domain and therefore tends to employ resonant features to achieve its objectives.
