Effective spectral optical functions of lamellar nanogratings [PDF]

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2006
Spectral properties of lamellar sub-wavelength gratings (nanogratings) are described by effective medium approximation (EMA). Analytical spectral formulae for ordinary and extraordinary effective optical functions are derived for nanogratings consisting ...

Measurement of refractive indices of tunicates’ tunics: light reflection of the transparent integuments in an ascidian Rhopalaea sp. and a salp Thetys vagina

Zoological Letters, 2017
Background Tunic is a cellulosic, integumentary matrix found in tunicates (Subphylum Tunicata or Urochordata). The tunics of some ascidian species and pelagic tunicates, such as salps, are nearly transparent, which is useful in predator avoidance ...

Global rigorous coupled wave analysis for design of multilayer metasurface absorbers

Optics Express, 2023
In this work, a novel Global NV-ETM RCWA method is proposed to accelerate the optimization of the periodic stepped radar absorbing structure. This method is based on the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) utilizing the normal vector field (NV) and enhanced transmittance matrix (ETM) approach.

Three-Method Hybrid Numerical Simulation for Surface-Plasmon-Enhanced GaInN-Based Light-Emitting Diodes with Metal-Embedded Nanostructures

Frontiers in Physics, 2021
In this paper, a hybrid numerical simulation tool is introduced and performed for GaInN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with metal-embedded nanostructure to theoretically predict external quantum efficiency (EQE), which composed of finite-difference ...

Fabrication of perfect plasmonic absorbers for blue and near-ultraviolet lights using double-layer wire-grid structures

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2021
This study proposes using double-layer wire-grid structures to create narrow-band, perfect plasmonic absorbers, which depend on polarization, for the short-wavelength visible and near-ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Symmetry Breaking as a Basis for Characterization of Dielectric Materials

Sensors
This paper introduces a novel method for measuring the dielectric permittivity of materials within the microwave and millimeter wave frequency ranges. The proposed approach, classified as a guided wave transmission system, employs a periodic transmission

Rigorous coupled-wave analysis of antireflective surface-relief gratings [PDF]

Journal of the Optical Society of Korea, 1997
Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) with a simplified eigenvalue problem is used to investigate the an-tireflective property of one-dimensional surface-relief gratings such as binary gratings, triangular gratings and gratings with triangle-like surface profiles. The convergence of RCWA is investigated by varying the number of layers and the number of

A Prospective Study of Individuals at Risk of Multiple Sclerosis Informs the Design of Primary Prevention Studies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In multiple sclerosis, the optimal time for deploying a therapeutic intervention is before the central nervous system is damaged; given the success of trials treating the earliest stage of MS, the radiologically isolated syndrome, developing primary prevention strategies is an important next challenge.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.
