Mathematical Foundation of Sparsity-Based Multi-Illumination Super-Resolution
(2022)SSRNIt is well-known that the resolution of traditional optical imaging system is limited by the so-called Rayleigh resolution or diffraction limit, which is of several hundreds of nanometers. By employing fluorescence techniques, modern microscopic methods can resolve point scatterers separated by a distance much lower than the Rayleigh resolution limit. Localization-based fluorescence subwavelength imaging techniques such as PALM and STORM ...Working Paper -

Bound states in the continuum and Fano resonances in subwavelength resonator arrays
(2021)SAM Research ReportWhen wave scattering systems are subject to certain symmetries, resonant states may decouple from the far-field continuum; they remain localized to the structure and cannot be excited by incident waves from the far field. In this work, we use layer-potential techniques to prove the existence of such states, known as bound states in the continuum, in systems of subwavelength resonators. When the symmetry is slightly broken, this resonant ...Report -
Wave interaction with subwavelength resonators
(2020)SAM Research ReportThe aim of this review is to cover recent developments in the mathematical analysis of subwavelength resonators. The use of sophisticated mathematics in the field of metamaterials is reported, which provides a mathematical framework for focusing, trapping, and guiding of waves at subwavelength scales. Throughout this review, the power of layer potential techniques combined with asymptotic analysis for solving challenging wave propagation ...Report -
High-order exceptional points and enhanced sensing in subwavelength resonator arrays
(2020)SAM Research ReportSystems exhibiting degeneracies known as exceptional points have remarkable properties with powerful applications, particularly in sensor design. These degeneracies are formed when eigenstates coincide, and the remarkable effects are exaggerated by increasing the order of the exceptional point (that is, the number of coinciding eigenstates). In this work, we use asymptotic techniques to study PT-symmetric arrays of many subwavelength ...Report -
Exceptional points in parity-time-symmetric subwavelength metamaterials
(2020)SAM Research ReportWhen sources of energy gain and loss are introduced to a wave scattering system, the underlying mathematical formulation will be non-Hermitian. This paves the way for the existence of exceptional points, whereby eigenmodes are linearly dependent. The main goal of this work is to study the existence and consequences of exceptional points in the setting of high-contrast subwavelength metamaterials. We begin by studying a system of two ...Report -
Quantitative estimates for stress concentration of the Stokes flow between adjacent circular cylinders
(2020)SAM Research ReportWhen two inclusions with high contrast material properties are located close to each other in a homogeneous medium, stress may become arbitrarily large in the narrow region between them. In this paper, we investigate such stress concentration in the two-dimensional Stokes flow when inclusions are the two-dimensional cross sections of circular cylinders of the same radii and the background velocity field is linear. We construct two ...Report -
Close-to-touching acoustic subwavelength resonators: eigenfrequency separation and gradient blow-up
(2020)SAM Research ReportIn this paper, we study the behaviour of the coupled subwavelength resonant modes when two high-contrast acoustic resonators are brought close together. We consider the case of spherical resonators and use bispherical coordinates to derive explicit representations for the capacitance coefficients which, we show, capture the system's resonant behaviour at leading order. We prove that the pair of resonators has two subwavelength resonant ...Report -
