Graphene-based metasurface: dynamic optical control in ultrathin flat optics. [PDF]
Abstract Graphene hosts massless Dirac fermions owing to its linear electronic band structure. This distinctive feature underpins its extraordinary electronic properties, correlating to strong light–matter interactions on an extreme subwavelength scale. Over the past decade, intensive investigations have transitioned from fundamental graphene’s optical

On the use of the l(2)-norm for texture analysis of polarimetric SAR data [PDF]
In this paper, the use of the l2-norm, or Span, of the scattering vectors is suggested for texture analysis of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, with the benefits that we need neither an analysis of the polarimetric channels separately ...
