We introduce a generalized version of phase retrieval called multiplexed phase retrieval. We want to recover the phase of amplitude-only measurements from linear combinations of them. This corresponds to the case in which multiple…
It is shown that a system of two coupled planar material sheets possessing surface mode (polariton) resonances can be used for the purpose of evanescent field restoration and, thus, for the sub-wavelength near-field imaging. The sheets are…

It is shown that negative electric permittivity and magnetic permeability recently discovered in a photonic crystal in the vicinity of the Gamma-point are properties of propagating modes only. The evanescent modes rather decay than increase…
Numerical calculations were performed to examine the mechanisms for generation of a retro-reflected wave from the interaction of an evanescent wave with a sub-wavelength structure using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The…
We consider wave propagation problems over 2-dimensional domains with piecewise-linear boundaries, possibly including scatterers. We assume that the wave speed is constant, and that the initial conditions and forcing terms are radially…
Eikonal, or ray tracing, methods are commonly used to estimate the propagation of radio frequency fields in plasmas. While the information gained from the rays is quite useful, an approximate solution for the fields would also be valuable,…
The transformation from evanescent waves to propagation waves is the key mechanism for the realization of some super-resolution imaging methods. By using the recursive Green function and scattering-matrix theory, we investigated in details…

The magnetic focusing of electrons has proven its utility in fundamental studies of electron transport. Here we report the direct imaging of magnetic focusing of electron waves, specifically in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). We see…
Spatial resolution of most imaging devices is fundamentally restricted by diffraction. This limitation is manifested in the loss of high spatial frequency information contained in evanescent waves. As a result, conventional far-field optics…
In this article we propose a new direct method of effective parameters restoration that is based on the wave propagation phenomenon. It retrieves the effective properties unambiguously, is applicable to thick metamaterial (MTM) slabs and is…
The discrete wave equation in a multidimensional uniform space with local defects and sources is considered. The characterization of all possible defect configurations corresponding to given amplitudes of waves at the receivers (detectors)…
We employ ptychography, a phase-retrieval imaging technique, to show experimentally for the first time that a partially coherent high-energy matter (electron) wave emanating from an extended source can be decomposed into a set of mutually…
A planar slab of negative index material works as a superlens with sub-diffraction-limited imaging resolution, since propagating waves are focused and, moreover, evanescent waves are reconstructed in the image plane. Here, we demonstrate a…
We propose the evanescent-mode-sensing methods to probe the electrodynamics (QED) vacuum polarization. From our methods, high-sensitivity can be achieved even though the external field is much smaller than the Schwinger critical field and…
Here, we investigate the physical mechanisms that may enable squeezing a complex electromagnetic field distribution through a narrow and/or partially obstructed region with little amplitude and phase distortions. Following our recent works,…
