Highly Directional Emission from a Subwavelength Slit in Metal-Dielectric Layered Films

The directional light emission from a single subwavelength slit surrounded by periodic grooves in layered films consisting of Ag and transparent dielectric is analysed numerically by the finite difference time domain method. The results show that the transmission through this structure is strongly confined by the modulation of the dielectric film with grooves on the output side. The role of evanescent waves in this phenomenon is discussed. It is the re-diffraction of the evanescent waves （that are generated by the diffraction of the subwavelength slit） caused by the grooves on the dielectric film that leads to the directional transmission. Some suggestions are given to obtain beaming light with high transmittance.     

Non-Paraxial Split-Step Semi-Vectorial Finite-Difference Method for Three-Dimensional Wide-Angle Beam Propagation

A wide-angle, split-step finite-difference method with the classical local one-dimensional scheme is presented to analyze the 3-D semi-vectorial wave equation. The method requires only matrix multiplication for beam propagation. To validate the effectiveness, numerical results for the eigen-mode propagation in tilted step-index channel waveguides are studied, and results show that the method has high accuracy and numerical efficiency.
