Developing momentum in vanishing index photonics
Abstract
Refractive index invariably describes the speed at which light passes through materials, and subsequently its perceived momentum. But what happens to these quantities as the index becomes zero? A new work explores this question, highlighting how momentum in near-zero-index materials affects linear optical processes.
