A problem of electromagnetic (EM) plane wave diffraction on a moving half-plane in a homogeneous and isotropic medium is considered. It is shown, that unlike the stationary case, the shadow boundaries of the incident and reflected wave are…
An approach has been developed where the Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR), i.e. emission of electrons moving close to a periodic structure, is treated as the resonant diffraction radiation. Simple formulas have been designed for the SPR…
We show that periodically doped, flat surfaces can act as reflective diffraction gratings for atomic and molecular matter waves. The diffraction element is realized by exploiting that charged dopants locally suppress quantum reflection from…
We theoretically show that a single free electron in circular/spiral motion radiates an electromagnetic wave possessing helical phase structure and carrying orbital angular momentum. We experimentally demonstrate it by double-slit…
The paper is concerned with well-posedness of TE and TM polarizations of time-harmonic electromagnetic scattering by perfectly conducting periodic surfaces and periodically arrayed obstacles with local perturbations. The classical Rayleigh…
The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a Lorentz-symmetry violating scenario where there is a region of polarized vacuum is studied. It turns out that the photon field acquires an interesting polarization state, possibly useful to set…
Unification of gravity with quantum mechanics is still a terra incognita. Photon polarization measurements offer a unique window for probing the interaction between these two fundamental forces. We have revealed that non-reciprocity in the…
The paper deals with kinematic conditions for the inverse Compton scattering of photons by relativistic electrons and the polarizations of the colliding particles, which affect the value of the differential cross section of the process. A…
We have calculated the intensity of electromagnetic radiation from particles rotating in close vicinity to a transparent dielectric plate. The radiation is a result of quantum and thermal friction occurring during particle rotation, while…
We report on the formation of moir{\'e} patterns when observing the diffraction of surface plasmons by periodic gratings of finite extent with an imaging spectrometer that maps the light emission as a function of the wavelength and the…
In optics, a reflective grating is a conducting surface with a ripple. The typical use of such a grating involves an incident electromagnetic wave with wave vector k in the x-z plane, and interference effects lead to a discrete set of…
We study scattering of polarized light by a rotating (Kerr) black hole of the mass M and the angular momentum J. In order to keep trace of the polarization dependence of photon trajectories one can use the following dimensionless parameter:…
Light from any physical source diffracts over space, as spherical wavefronts grow and energy density is spread out. Diffractive effects pose fundamental limits to light-based technologies, including communications, spectroscopy, and…
The general features of the light scattering resulting in the so-called resonant Wood's anomalies in the reflection and transmission spectra are described using the effective parameters of a quasi-guided mode. The expression determining the…
We report on the observation of emerging beam resonances, well known as Rayleigh-Wood anomalies and threshold resonances in photon and electron diffraction, respectively, in an atom-optical diffraction experiment. Diffraction of He atom…
The double diffraction of white light can produce a thin-prism-like image in certain conditions by using ordinary diffraction gratings. The diffractive deviation of rays happens mainly in one direction because the diffracting elements are…
The effect of radiation polarization attended with the motion of spinning charge in the magnetic field could be viewed through the classical theory of self-interaction. The quantum expression for the polarization time follows from the…
The time-dependent Bragg diffraction by multilayer gratings working by reflection or by transmission is investigated. The study is performed by generalizing the time-dependent coupled-wave theory previously developed for one-dimensional…
The abnormally intense radiation due to the uniform rotation of electron around the equatorial plane of a dielectric sphere is obtained. It takes place when the sphere surface is at a specific distance from the electron orbit and when the…
Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR) occurs when an electron skims above a spatial grating, but the fixed momentum compensation from the static grating imposes limitations on the emission wavelength. It has been discovered that a temporally…
