Janus faces of dipolar sources in directional near-field coupling with an oriented misalignment

Directional near-field coupling can enable many applications, such as directional routing, on-chip information processing, and chiral quantum optics. This directional near-field coupling is generally face dependent, since the induced near-field radiation pattern is dependent on which face (e.g., the...

description Directional near-field coupling can enable many applications, such as directional routing, on-chip information processing, and chiral quantum optics. This directional near-field coupling is generally face dependent, since the induced near-field radiation pattern is dependent on which face (e.g., the upper or lower face) of the dipolar source is facing toward the outcoupler. In other words, the dipolar sources in the directional near-field coupling intrinsically have two faces (e.g., Janus faces), whose corresponding near-field coupling strength and coupling directionality might be distinct. Here, we outline a general physical framework to control these Janus faces in the directional near-field coupling and find that they can have the feature of an oriented misalignment. To be specific, the upper and lower radiation patterns of excited surface waves can have the same shape but are misaligned with a twist angle. For example, the twist angle can be any acute angle if the source is composed of a Huygens dipole and an electric dipole, and it can be any obtuse angle if the source is constructed by a circular electric dipole and a magnetic dipole.
