Scattering on plasmonic nanostructures arrays modeled with a surface integral formulation

The surface integral formulation is a flexible, multiscale and accurate tool to simulate light scattering on nanostructures. Its generalization to periodic arrays is introduced in this paper. The general electromagnetic scattering problem is reduced to a discretizated model using the Method of Moments on the surface of the scatterers in the unit cell. The study of the resonances of an array of bowtie antennas illustrates the main features of the method. When placed into an array, the bowtie antennas show additional resonances compared to those of an individual antenna. Using the surface integral formulation, we are able to investigate both near-field and far-field properties of these resonances, with a high level of accuracy.

Bessel solitary waves in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media with distributed parameters

Bessel solitary wave solutions to a two-dimensional strongly nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients are obtained. Bessel solitary wave solutions have unique characteristics compared with Gaussian solitary wave solutions, Laguerre-Gaussian solitary wave solutions, and Hermite-Gaussian solitary wave solutions. The generalized two-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation with distributed coefficients is investigated for the first time to our knowledge.     

Second-harmonic wave induced by vortex beams with radial and azimuthal polarizations

The author investigated second-harmonic (SH) wave patterns generated by focused vortex beams with radial and azimuthal polarizations. Expressions for electric field components near the focus through a dielectric interface were obtained based on vector diffraction theory. Furthermore, the (110) and (001) planes of a crystal classified in the symmetry group 4?3m were considered as second order nonlinear optical medium to analyze nonlinear polarization and the intensity distributions of the SH wave in the far-field were simulated for topological charge m = 1 and 2. Numerical simulations indicated that the intensity and emission pattern of the SH wave depended principally on the electric field component and distribution near the focus. In particular, for the (001) plane, the intensity of the SH wave was strongly correlated with the existence of a longitudinal electric field.     

Characterization of the variation of the material properties in a freestanding inhomogeneous thin film

This Letter presents a new technique for measuring the variation of the material properties along the thickness in a freestanding inhomogeneous thin film. The analytical results reveal a simple relation between the material properties and the set of cut-off frequencies of Lamb waves. The influence of the graded properties on the variation of cut-off frequencies in three different kinds of models, including artificial FGM model, sub-surface damage model, and nano-porous thin film model, is discussed. These results provide theoretical guidance for characterizing the material property variations of MEMS/NEMS.

Acousto-optical diagnostics of Gulyaev-Bleustein waves under Fresnel reflection conditions

Diffraction of light by ultrasonic Gulyaev-Bleustein waves is studied under Fresnel reflection conditions. It is shown that Gulyaev-Bleustein waves propagating in GaAs-AlGaAs structures can be detected by acousto-optic methods under conditions for Fresnel reflection of diffracted waves. It has been established that the considered structures are promising for design of multichannel acousto-optical deflectors and modulators. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 75, No. 4, pp. 583–587, July–August, 2008.     

Spin–gravity coupling and gravity-induced quantum phases

External gravitational fields induce phase factors in the wave functions of particles. The phases are exact to first order in the background gravitational field, are manifestly covariant and gauge invariant and provide a useful tool for the study of spin–gravity coupling and of the optics of particles in gravitational or inertial fields. We discuss the role that spin–gravity coupling plays in particular problems.
