Propagation of monochromatic electromagnetic waves in free space results in a widening of the spectral line. On the contrary, propagation preserves monochromaticity in the case of acoustic waves. In this case, the propagation can be…
With the increasing use of ultrashort laser pulses and nanoscale-materials, one is regularly confronted to situations in which the properties of the media supporting propagation are not varying slowly with time (or space). Hence, the usual…

In this paper, we consider the problem of the scattering of in-plane waves at an interface between a homogeneous medium and a metamaterial. The relevant eigenmodes in the two regions are calculated by solving a recently described non…
We study the paraxial wave equation with a randomly perturbed index of refraction, which can model the propagation of a wave beam in a turbulent medium. The random perturbation is a stationary and isotropic process with a general form of…
An analytical approach based on the parametric representation of the wave propagation in nonuniform media was considered. In addition to the previously developed theory of parametric antiresonance describing the field attenuation in stop…
Gravitation has interesting consequences for plane wave propagation in a vacuum. The propagation of plane waves with phase velocity directed opposite to the the time-averaged Poynting vector is investigated for a generally curved spacetime.…

Scattering wave systems that are periodically modulated in time offer many new degrees of freedom to control waves both in spatial and frequency domains. Such systems, albeit linear, do not conserve frequency and require the adaptation of…
We analyze electromagnetic waves propagation in one-dimensional periodic media with single or periodic defects. The study is made both from the point of view of the modes and of the diffraction problem. We provide an explicit dispersion…
