Ultrabroadband sound control with deep-subwavelength plasmacoustic metalayers

Hervé Lissek, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Stanislav Sergeev

Controlling audible sound requires inherently broadband and subwavelength acoustic solutions, which are to date, crucially missing. This includes current noise absorption methods, such as porous materials or acoustic resonators, which are typically ineffic ...

Nonlocally-resonant metamaterials

Aleksi Antoine Bossart

In this thesis, we unveil a third design path to manipulate elastic waves within architected media, distinct from the traditional phononic crystal and locally-resonant metamaterial concepts. The core innovation lies in the concept of nonlocal resonances, d ...

Extreme Spatial Dispersion in Nonlocally Resonant Elastic Metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Aleksi Antoine Bossart

To date, the vast majority of architected materials have leveraged two physical principles to control wave behavior, namely, Bragg interference and local resonances. Here, we describe a third path: structures that accommodate a finite number of delocalized ...

Spectral analysis for transmission eigenvalue problems with and without the complementing conditions

Jean Louis-Alexandre Fornerod

The interior transmission eigenvalue problem is a system of partial differential equations equipped with Cauchy data on the boundary: the transmission conditions. This problem appears in the inverse scattering theory for inhomogeneous media when, for some ...

Ultra-Small Bent Meta-Waveguide Filters

Maliheh Khatibi Moghaddam, Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

This paper demonstrates the capability of locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs) for creating compact metallic waveguide E- and H-bends, which are simultaneously working as bandpass filters. For creating these bent meta-filters, we use composite pin-pipe wa ...

Emergent nonlinear phenomena in a driven dissipative photonic dimer

Rui Ning Wang, Tobias Kippenberg, Kenichi Komagata, Hairun Guo, Junqiu Liu, Mikhail Churaev, Alexey Tikan

Collective effects leading to spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium cannot be described at the single-particle level and are therefore often called emergent phenomena. They are characte ...

Far field superlensing inside biological media through a nanorod lens using spatiotemporal information

Anja Skrivervik

Far field superlensing of light has generated great attention in optical focusing and imaging applications. The capability of metamaterials to convert evanescent waves to propagative waves has led to numerous proposals in this regard. The common drawback o ...

Electromagnetic waves under nonstationary conditions, the connection with parity-time symmetry and studies on resonant systems

Theodoros Koutserimpas

In this thesis, the electromagnetic wave propagation is studied in nonstationary-medium scenarios. The electromagnetic fields under material time-modulation are shown to conserve their momentum but not their energy. The mathematical foundations and analysi ...

Instantaneous radiation from time-varying electric and magnetic dipoles

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Mohammad Sajjad Mirmoosa

Radiation from magnetic and electric dipole moments is a key subject in the theory of electrodynamics. Although people treat the problem thoroughly in the context of the frequency domain, the problem is still not well understood in the context of the time ...

Cloaking property of a plasmonic structure in doubly complementary media and three-sphere inequalities with partial data

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

We investigate cloaking property of negative-index metamaterials in the time-harmonic electromagnetic setting for the so-called doubly complementary media. These are media consisting of negative-index metamaterials in a shell (plasmonic structure) and posi ...

Topology and broken Hermiticity

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

Topology and symmetry have emerged as compelling guiding principles to predict and harness the propagation of waves in natural and artificial materials. Be it for quantum particles (such as electrons) or classical waves (such as light, sound or mechanical ...
