It has recently been shown that periodic layered media can reflect strongly for all incident angles and polarizations in a given frequency range. The standard treatment gets these band gaps from an eigenvalue equation for the Bloch factor…
We describe a method of extrapolation based on a "truncated" Kramers-Kronig relation for the complex permittivity ($\epsilon$) and permeability ($\mu$) parameters of a material, based on finite frequency data. Considering a few assumptions,…

We study the Casimir energy due to a quantum real scalar field coupled to two planar, infinite, zero-width, parallel mirrors with non-homogeneous properties. These properties are represented, in the model we use, by scalar functions defined…
Modifications of the authors' previously-published, generalized, lumped-element, reflectionless filter topologies are presented which remove the original constraints on the relative values of its prototype parameters. Thus, any transfer…
Electromagnetic waves at grazing incidence onto a planar medium are analogous to zero energy quantum particles incident onto a potential well. In this limit waves are typically completely reflected. Here we explore dielectric profiles…
Theoretical and computational study of reflection and refraction of electromagnetic waves with $p$-polarized and normal incidence electric wave amplitude vector on anisotropic, inhomogeneous and linear medium has been done. The medium used…
