Multiple optical Tamm states at a metal-dielectric mirror interface.

TL;DR: It is found that an OTS is periodic resonance with the variation of the top-layer thickness of the dielectric mirror for a given wavelength, which may be useful in designing a new type of multichannel filter in optical communication systems.

Perfect absorber supported by optical Tamm states in plasmonic waveguide.

TL;DR: Numerical results show that attributing to excitation of the optical Tamm states in the MDM waveguide core, the optical wave is trapped in the proposed structure without reflection and transmission, leading to perfect absorption as high as 0.991.

Novel sensing concept based on optical Tamm plasmon.

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel concept of refractive index sensing taking advantage of a high-refractive-index-contrast optical Tamm plasmon (OTP) structure, i.e., an air/dielectric alternate-layered distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) coated with metal.

Numerical analysis of optical bistability based on Fiber Bragg Grating cavity containing a high nonlinearity doped-fiber

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a new optical bistability devise by using two Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), in which an erbium-doped fiber is inserted to form a nonlinear Fabry-Perot cavity (EDF FBG/F-P).

Lasing in a hybrid GaAs/silver Tamm structure

TL;DR: In this article, the Tamm plasmon modes appearing at the interface between a multilayered dielectric structure and a metal were used to obtain a lasing effect.

Optical properties of metallic films for vertical-cavity optoelectronic devices.

TL;DR: The reflectance and the phase change on reflection from semiconductor-metal interfaces (including the case of metallic multilayers) can be accurately described by use of the proposed models for the optical functions of metallic films and the matrix method for multilayer calculations.

Enhancement of nonlinear effects using photonic crystals.

TL;DR: If all-optical devices using photonic crystal designs promise to be smaller than the wavelength of light, and to operate with bandwidths that are very difficult to achieve electronically, operation at single-photon power levels could be feasible.
