Light in curved two-dimensional space

Abstract: The extrinsic and intrinsic curvature of a two-dimensional waveguide influences wave propagation therein. While this can already be apprehended from a geometric point of view in terms of geodesics generalizing straight lines as the shortest distance between any two points, in wave optics interference phenomena strongly govern the field evolution, too. Radii of curvature in the order of the wavelength of light modify the local effective refractive index by altering the mode profile. Macroscopic radii only influ… Show more

“…Engineering topological gaps that host robust edge modes based on aperiodic principles is an extremely active area of research, spreading over several research fields such as condensed matter [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], photonics [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], acoustics [37][38][39] and mechanics [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. The basic working principles for all these studies rest on the existenc...…”

“…A surface's two most crucial curvature functions are Gaussian and mean curvature [45]. The Gaussian curvature is an intrinsic measure, and the mean curvature is an extrinsic measure [51]. In [16], the extracted curvature that yielded the best performance was derived from the mean curvature.…”

“…A notable exception are spherical Schell sources [4][5][6] being important for the modeling of sunlight coherence [7,8]. Among other curved source models [9], cylindrical structures can be treated with simple mathematical tools. In this connection, we note that the scattering problem of stationary light from a cylinder was solved in Ref.…”
