A method is presented for modelling the optical properties of a photonic crystal structure mounted on a substrate which is thick enough that the light reflected from the back is incoherent with reflections from the front. Transmission and…
A fractal is in essence a hierarchy with cascade structure, which can be described with a set of exponential functions. From these exponential functions, a set of power laws indicative of scaling can be derived. Hierarchy structure and…

Fractals define a new and interesting realm for a discussion of basic phenomena in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. This interest results from specific properties of fractals, e.g., their dilatation symmetry and the…
Wavefront shaping has revolutionized the concepts of optical imaging and focusing. Contrary to what was believed, strong scattering in the optical paths can be exploited in favor of light focusing through turbid media and ultimately improve…
Advanced image segmentation and processing tools present an opportunity to study cell processes and their dynamics. However, image analysis is often routine and time-consuming. Nowadays, alternative data-driven approaches using deep…

Manipulating the circular polarization of light is of great importance in chemistry and biology, as chiral molecules exhibit different physiological properties when exposed to different circularly polarized waves. Here we suggest a…
We study the behaviour of the power spectrum (PS) in the case of fractal structures. We show that in this case the main observational features of the PS, the large scale flattening and the scaling of the amplitude with sample depth, are…
We study the fractal dimension of the contour of the liquid-gas interface in a spray. Our images include both, the linking region and the break-up region and are obtained with a high-resolution shadowgraph technique; this means that the…
Fractals with different levels of self-similarity and magnification are defined as reduced fractals. It is shown that spectra of these reduced fractals can be constructed and used to describe levels of complexity of natural phenomena.…
Light-ring bifurcations that can occur for prolate non-Kerr compact objects can leave an indelible signature on SMBH shadows as a fractal sequence of eyebrow-like formations. These fractal features are the result of two properties of these…

In a recently published paper (J. of Modern Optics 50 (9) (2003) 1477-1486) a qualitative analysis of the moire effect observed by superposing two grids containing Cantor fractal structures was presented. It was shown that the moire effect…
Light scattering from chiral plasmonic structures can create near fields with an asymmetry greater than the equivalent circularly polarised light, a property sometimes referred to as superchirality. These near fields with enhanced chiral…
Phase Fresnel lenses have the same imaging properties as zone plates, but with the possibility of concentrating all of the incident power into the primary focus, increasing the maximum theoretical efficiency from 11% to close to 100%. For…
