When an oscillating line source is placed in front of a special mirror consisting of an array of flat uniformly spaced ferrite rods, half of the image disappeared at some frequency. We believe that this comes from the coupling to photonic…

We study immersed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are critical points of the Willmore functional under boundary constraints. The two cases considered are when the surface meets a plane orthogonally along the boundary, and when the boundary…

A spherical periscope in multi-dimensional space is a system of two ideal mirrors that reflect the rays emanating from a fixed point to the rays coming back to the same point, and a reversed periscope is a system of two mirrors that reflect…

Historically, spectroscopic techniques have been essential for studying the optical properties of thin solid films. However, existing formulae for both normal transmission and reflection spectroscopy often rely on simplified theoretical…

The eigenmirror problem asks: ``When does the reflection of a surface in a curved mirror appear undistorted to an observer?'' We call such a surface an {\em eigensurface} and the corresponding mirror an {\em eigenmirror}. The data for an…
