The most general linear and local set of boundary conditions, involving relations between the normal components of the D and B vectors and tangential components of the E and H vectors at each point of the boundary, are considered in this…
We consider the reflection from a random medium of light with short coherence length. We found that the second order correlation function of light can have a peak in a direction where the reflection angle is equal to angle of incidence.…
Many adaptive optics systems operate by measuring the distortion of the wavefront in one wavelength range and performing the scientific observations in a second, different wavelength range. One common technique is to measure wavefront…
We theoretically study reflection and transmission of light in a one-dimensional disordered phase-conjugating medium. Using an invariant imbedding approach a Fokker-Planck equation for the distribution of the probe light reflectance and…
Geometrically decorated two-dimensional (2D) discrete surfaces can be more effective than conventional smooth reflectors in managing wave radiation. Constructive non-specular wave scattering permits the scattering angle to be other than…
Flying plasma mirrors induced by intense lasers has been proposed as a promising way to generate few-cycle EUV or X-ray lasers. In addition, if such a relativistic plasma mirror can accelerate, then it would serve as an analog black hole to…
A modulation of refractive index can move at the speed of light. How it interacts with an electromagnetic wave? Does it reflect? We show that an incident electromagnetic wave, depending on its frequency either is totally transmitted with a…
The use of descriptive statistics in pilot testing procedures requires objective, standard diagnostic tools that are feasible for small sample sizes. While current psychometric practices report item-level statistics, they often report these…
Eliminating reflections caused by incident light interacting with reflective medium remains an ill-posed problem in the image restoration area. The primary challenge arises from the overlapping of reflection and transmission components in…
We propose to go away from the electromagnetic wave description of light and to explain through a purely corpuscular and neutral approach, the phenomenon of the slowing down of light in a transparent medium. The quantum predictions and ours…
Through the study of the power spectra of a monochromatic light beam reflected by metallic mirrors, fluctuations in their reflectance is observed. The power spectra were obtained down to a factor $10^{-6}$ below the Standard Quantum Limit,…
We consider interference effects between p-wave resonance scattering amplitude and background s-wave amplitude in low-energy neutron scattering from a heavy nucleus which goes through the compound nucleus stage. The first effect is in the…
The average power spectrum of a pulse reflected by a disordered medium embedded in an N-mode waveguide decays in time with a power law t^(-p). We show that the exponent p increases from 3/2 to 2 after N^2 scattering times, due to the onset…
We demonstrate that arrays of split ring resonators (SRR) can have negative refractive index at optical frequencies (~1.4 eV). Our calculations reveal that the electric fields of radiation interact strongly with even symmetric SRR at…
In this paper we show for the first time the phenomenon of negative reflection in a simple mechanical structure. The latter is a grating of fixed inclusions embedded in a linear elastic matrix. Numerical analyses for out-of-plane shear…
The average redundancy of the Shannon code, $R_n$, as a function of the block length $n$, is known to exhibit two very different types of behavior, depending on the rationality or irrationality of certain parameters of the source: It either…
We consider reflector imaging in a weakly random waveguide. We address the situation in which the source is farther from the reflector to be imaged than the energy equipartition distance, but the receiver array is closer to the reflector to…
Wavy dielectric grating hosts bound states in the continuum (BICs) at nonzero Bloch wave number. For oblique incident optical field with parameters near to the BICs, the reflectance spectrum exhibits ultra-sharp Fano line shape, and the…
In a disordered medium with Kerr-type nonlinearity, the transmitted speckle pattern was predicted to become unstable, as a result of the positive feedback between the intensity fluctuations and the nonlinear dependence of the local…
The five-layer nanorod-mediated surface plasmon sensor with inhomogeneous liquid crystal layer was theoretically investigated. The reflectance as the function of the incident angle was calculated at different voltages applied to the liquid…
