In the seventies, scientists observed discrepancies of the bending of light around the Sun based on Einstein's prediction of the curvature of star light due to the mass of the Sun. We claim that the interior electromagnetic properties of…
The force of electromagnetic radiation on a dielectric medium may be derived by a direct application of the Lorentz law of classical electrodynamics. While the light's electric field acts upon the (induced) bound charges in the medium, its…
We study the diffraction of Damon-Eshbach-type spin waves incident on a one-dimensional grating realized by micro slits in a thin permalloy film. By means of time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy we observe unique diffraction patterns…

Electromagnetism in an inhomogeneous dielectric medium at rest is described using the methods of differential geometry. In contrast to a general relativistic approach the electromagnetic fields are discussed in three-dimensional space only.…
We investigate retrolensing of sunlights reflected by a photon sphere and by a potential barrier near an antiphoton sphere around a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m naked singularity. We apply the deflection angles of light rays in strong deflection…
Most of the physically based techniques for rendering translucent objects use the diffusion theory of light scattering in turbid media. The widely used dipole diffusion model (Jensen et al. 2001) applies the diffusion-theory formula derived…
For the diffraction of an incident plane electromagnetic wave by a slotted metallic film, the previous analytical calculation for a single slot [Technical Phys. 50, 1076 (2005)] is generalized into a model for an arbitrary linear array of…
Electroluminescence, a non-thermal radiative process, is ubiquitous in semi-conductors and insulators but fundamentally precluded in metals. We show here that this restriction can be circumvented in high-quality graphene. By investigating…
Based on the seminal work by John T. Sheridan [1] we discuss the usefulness and validity of simple diffraction theories frequently used to determine and characterize optical holographic gratings. Experimental investigations obtained in…
We present a simple yet rigorous field theoretic demonstration of the nonlocality of a single-photon field. The formalism used allows us to calculate the electric field of a single-photon light beam sent through a beam splitter, which…
We present an analytical and numerical investigation of double-slit diffraction under coherent illumination by three plane waves: one normally incident and two symmetrically angled at plus/minus theta. By imposing an edge-zero condition on…
The dynamics of an electron driven by arbitrary plane wave laser radiation is formulated as a relativistically and mathematically exact refraction process based on an exact index of refraction. This reformulation leads to that index as an…
As predicted by A. Einstein [Ann. Phys. (Leipzig) 17, 891 (1905)], the electromagnetic wave reflected at a moving mirror is frequency-upshifted and intensified as high as the mirror velocity is close to the speed of light in vacuum.…
Long ago appeared a discussion in quantum mechanics of the problem of opening a completely absorbing shutter on which were impinging a stream of particles of definite velocity. The solution of the problem was obtained in a form entirely…
We consider a flat lattice of dipoles modeled by harmonic oscillators interacting with the electromagnetic field in dipole approximation. Eliminating the variables from the coupled equations of motion, we come to effective Maxwell…
The classical electromagnetic field of a spinless point electron is described in a formalism with extended causality by discrete finite point-vector fields with discrete and localized point interactions. These fields are taken as a…
A planewave incident on an active etalon with net roundtrip gain may be expected to diverge in field amplitude, yet Maxwell's equations admit only a convergent solution. By examining a Gaussian beam obliquely incident on such a cavity, we…
The fringe pattern that allows geometrical and orbital structure information to be extracted from LIED spectra of symmetric molecules is shown to reflect a symmetry conservation principle. We show that under a field polarization which…
Photonic crystals are periodic structure of dielectric materials that can control light propagations in the media because of their photonic-dispersion led by the well-ordered lattice-points arrangements. We here study the behavior of light…
