  abstract     = {{A stepwise angular spectrum method (SASM) for curved interfaces is presented to calculate the wave propagation in planar lens-like integrated optical structures based on photonic slab waveguides. The method is derived and illustrated for an effective 2D setup first and then for 3D slab waveguide lenses. We employ slab waveguides of different thicknesses connected by curved surfaces to realize a lens-like structure. To simulate the wave propagation in 3D including reflection and scattering losses, the stepwise angular spectrum method is combined with full vectorial finite element computations for subproblems with lower complexity. Our SASM results show excellent agreement with rigorous numerical simulations of the full structures with a substantially lower computational effort and can be utilized for the simulation-based design and optimization of complex and large scale setups.}},

  abstract     = {{Plasmonic nanoantennas for visible and infrared radiation strongly improve the interaction of light with the matter on the nanoscale due to their strong near-field enhancement. In this study, we investigate a double-resonant plasmonic nanoantenna, which makes use of plasmonic field enhancement, enhanced outcoupling of second harmonic light, and resonant lattice effects. Using this design, we demonstrate how the efficiency of second harmonic generation can be increased significantly by fully embedding the nanoantennas into nonlinear dielectric material ZnO, instead of placing them on the surface. Investigating two different processes, we found that the best fabrication route is embedding the gold nanoantennas in ZnO using an MBE overgrowth process where a thin ZnO layer was deposited on nanoantennas fabricated on a ZnO substrate. In addition, second harmonic generation measurements show that the embedding leads to an enhancement compared to the emission of nanoantennas placed on the ZnO substrate surface. These promising results facilitate further research to determine the influence of the periodicity of the nanoantenna arrangement of the resulting SHG signal.}},

  abstract     = {{Polarons in dielectric crystals play a crucial role for applications in integrated electronics and optoelectronics. In this work, we use density-functional theory and Green's function methods to explore the microscopic structure and spectroscopic signatures of electron polarons in lithium niobate (LiNbO3). Total-energy calculations and the comparison of calculated electron paramagnetic resonance data with available measurements reveal the formation of bound 
polarons at Nb_Li antisite defects with a quasi-Jahn-Teller distorted, tilted configuration. The defect-formation energies further indicate that (bi)polarons may form not only at 
Nb_Li antisites but also at structures where the antisite Nb atom moves into a neighboring empty oxygen octahedron. Based on these structure models, and on the calculated charge-transition levels and potential-energy barriers, we propose two mechanisms for the optical and thermal splitting of bipolarons, which provide a natural explanation for the reported two-path recombination of bipolarons. Optical-response calculations based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation, in combination with available experimental data and new measurements of the optical absorption spectrum, further corroborate the geometries proposed here for free and defect-bound (bi)polarons.}},
