Spontaneous emission of a quantum emitter near a Chern insulator : interplay of time-reversal symmetry breaking and Van Hove singularity by Lu, Bing-Sui, Arifa, Kathee Zathul, Hong, Xing Ru

“…We consider the generic problem of a two-level quantum emitter near a two-dimensional Chern insulator in the dipole approximation, and study how the frequency-dependent response and electronic density of states of the insulator modifies the transition rate of the emitter between the ground and excited levels. …”

Nearly total optical transmission of linearly polarized light through transparent electrode composed of GaSb monolithic high-contrast grating integrated with gold by Tobing, Landobasa Yosef Mario, Wasiak, Michal, Zhang, Dao Hua, Fan, Weijun, Czyszanowski, Tomasz

“…Achieving high transmission of light through a highly conductive structure implemented on a semiconductor remains a challenge in optoelectronics as the transmission is inevitably deteriorated by absorption and Fresnel reflection. There have been numerous efforts to design structures with near-unity transmission, yet they are typically constrained by a trade-off between conductivity and optical transmission. …”
