This paper proposes, for wave propagating in a globally perturbed half plane with a perfectly conducting step-like surface, a sharp Sommerfeld radiation condition (SRC) for the first time, an analytic formula of the far-field pattern, and a…

Using numerical simulations, here we demonstrate that a single sheet of graphene with properly designed inhomogeneous, nonuniform conductivity distributions can act as a convex lens for focusing and collimating the transverse-magnetic (TM)…

We investigate single interface surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) excited by electromagnetic waves under general electromagnetic boundary conditions that allow for non-zero surface charge and surface current densities. Incorporating these,…

The canonical problem of the propagation of surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves localized to the planar interface of a metal and a sculptured nematic thin film (SNTF) that is periodically nonhomogeneous along the direction normal to the…

The optical emittance of a hole pair perforated in an opaque metal film is studied from first-principles using the coupled-mode method. The geometrical simplicity of this system helps to understand the fundamental role played by surface…

The subwavelength focusing based on surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) has been widely explored in tapered metallic structures. However, the efficiency of energy localization is relatively weak, largely due to high propagation loss and strong…

Linear Maxwell equations for transverse magnetic (TM) polarized fields support single frequency surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) localized at the interface of a metal and a dielectric. Metals are typically dispersive, i.e. the dielectric…

We suggest a scheme for the excitation and amplification of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along the interface between metal and semiconductor quantum well (SQW), employing a four-wave mixing (FWM) process. The SQW consists of four-level…

We map the complex electric fields associated with the scattering of surface plasmon polaritons by single sub-wavelength holes of different sizes in thick gold films. We identify and quantify the different modes associated with this event,…

In this article, the scattering of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) into photons at holes is investigated. A local, electrically excited source of SPPs using a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) produces an outgoing circular plasmon wave…

Propagation of spoof surface plasmon polaritons (spoof SPPs) on comb-shaped ultrathin metal strips made of aluminum foil and printed copper circuit are studied experimentally and numerically. With a near field scanning technique, electric…

Imaging below the diffraction limit is always a public interest because of the restricted resolution of conventional imaging systems. To beat the limit, evanescent harmonics decaying in space must participate in the imaging process. Here,…

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are traditionally excited by plane waves within the Rayleigh range of a focused transverse magnetic (TM) Gaussian beam. Here, we investigate and confirm the coupling between SPPs and two-dimensional…

The Wiener-Hopf equations are a Toeplitz system of linear equations that naturally arise in several applications in time series. These include the update and prediction step of the stationary Kalman filter equations and the prediction of…

Scattering of TM-polarized surface plasmon-polariton waves (PPW) by a finite segment of the metal-vacuum interface with randomly fluctuating surface impedance is examined. Solution of the integral equation relating the scattered field with…

A theoretical study of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in ultrathin lossy metal films is presented. The dispersion relation of such films is well known and can be solved numerically to obtain a combination of long-range (LR-) and…

A rigorous approach for solving canonical circular open-ended dielectric-lined waveguide diffraction problems is presented. This is continuation of our recent paper [1] where a simpler case of uniform dielectric filling has been considered.…

The stationary phase point (SPP) method in one-dimensional case is introduced to treat the diffractive scintillation. From weak scattering, where the SPP number N=1, to strong scattering (N$\gg$1), via transitional scattering regime…

We propose a new method for calculating reflection and transmission coefficients for an arbitrarily polarized electromagnetic plane wave incident on a one-dimensional dielectric medium of finite thickness and with dielectric permittivity…

Nano-scale lasers harnessing metallic plasmons hold promise across physical sciences and industrial applications. Plasmons are categorized as surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and localized surface plasmons (LSP). While SPP has gained…
