Abstract
The top–down deterministic moulding of functional wave-forms, and the top-down decoupled access to various wave-parameters are critical issues, in terms of both scientific interests and application perspectives. In this talk, we will summarize our recent efforts on above focuses. First, in the template of correlated disorder, we will present a top-down deterministic approach to the moulding of functional designer eigensystems, of target eigenspectra [Nat. Comm. 8269, 2015, Optica, 836, 2016 , Phys. Rev. App., 054010, 2017], or target waveforms [Science Adv., e1501851, 2016, Sci. Rep., 2139, 2017, ACS Photonics, 1499, 2018]. For the access toward designer wave-parameters, the decoupled, top down design of meta-atom in acoustic domain achieving target (ρ, B-1, ξ) [Nat. Comm. 13012, 2016], and in electro-magnetic domain achieving target (ε, μ) [Sci. Rep. 42447, 2017] will be presented in the metamaterial / metasurface templates, with some application examples such as the bianisotropic meta-surface accomplishing a fully-decoupled Snell’s law. Finally, the realizations of amplitude-phase (A, ϕ) decoupled designer waves built on Bohmian photonics platform [Phys. Rev. Lett., 193902, 2018], and the emergence of designer transverse spin lightwaves at the topological interface of hyperbolic metamaterials [Phys. Rev. Lett., 203901, 2018] will be discussed.
