Asymmetric phase modulation of light with parity-symmetry broken metasurfaces
To design wavefront-shaping of metasurfaces, an analytic expression to predict the phase singularities in the complex plane and a general framework to predict and study these resonant systems are presented. It can be shown that breaking the out-of-plane symmetry allows for full-phase modulation with a single mode.

Intrinsic Mode Coupling in Mirror-symmetric Whispering Gallery Resonators
In this publication, the validity and limits of the established classification of whispering gallery modes (WGM) are investigated by extensive finite element simulations. A novel WGM classification scheme is introduced, that includes mode coupling and underlying selection rules based on avoided crossings of the modes.

Near-unity Efficiency in Ridge Waveguide-based, On-chip Single-photon Sources
In this paper, a design for pursuing a near-unity coupling efficiency in quantum dot cavity ridge waveguide single-photon sources is presented. Simulations are performed to achieve constructive interference and low scattering losses within the cavity and to overcome the issue of the mode mismatch of the cavity and the Bloch mode in the nanobeam.

Hot electron generation through near-field excitation of plasmonic nanoresonators
In this numerical study the hot-electron generation through the emission of a dipole source coupled to a plasmonic nanoresonator is numerically investigated by combining the solution of the time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations with a quantum model for hot electron generation. The results are interpreted with a quasinormal mode expansion of the nanoresonator.
