The six-fold rotational symmetry of photonic crystal fibers has important manifestations in the radiated fields in terms of i) a focusing phenomena at a finite distance from the end-facet and ii) the formation of low-intensity satellite…
Light emitters or scatterers embedded in stratified media may couple energy to both free space modes and guided modes of the stratified structure. For a comprehensive analysis, it is important to evaluate the angular intensity distribution…

We derive Heisenberg uncertainty principles for pairs of Linear Canonical Transforms of a given function, by resorting to the fact that these transforms are just metaplectic operators associated with free symplectic matrices. The results…
Electromagnetic wave scattering by many parallel infinite cylinders is studied asymptotically as $a\to 0$. Here $a$ is the radius of the cylinders. It is assumed that the points $\hat{x}_m$ are distributed so that…

The classical Bondi-Penrose approach to the gravitational radiation theory in asymptotically flat spacetimes is recalled and recent advances in the proofs of the existence of such spacetimes are briefly reviewed. We then mention the unique…
