Adiabatic nano-focusing of plasmons by sharp metallic wedges [PDF]
In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility of efficient adiabatic nano-focusing of plasmons by a sharp triangular metal wedge. The geometrical optics approach and the approximation of continuous electrodynamics are used for the analysis. In particular, it is demonstrated that both the phase and group velocities of an incident anti-symmetric (with ...

We have demonstrated efficiency of employing the ABCD matrix approach to transform higher-order structured Laguerre–Gaussian (sLG) beams into structurally stable astigmatic sLG (asLG) beams, highlighting their dynamics at propagating.

Extraordinary focusing of sound above a soda can array without time reversal [PDF]
Recently, Lemoult et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 064301 (2011)] used time reversal to focus sound above an array of soda cans into a spot much smaller than the acoustic wavelength in air.

Visualization Characteristics of a Sharp Focusing Schlieren Method.
A sharp focusing schlieren system gives a means for observing any cross section of a flow field, which is perpendicular to the test beam axis of the optical system. This is impossible for a conventional schlieren system. In this study, a sharp focusing schlieren system was designed with referring to the Weinsten's system to investigate visualization ...

Sharp Oracle Inequalities for Aggregation of Affine Estimators [PDF]
We consider the problem of combining a (possibly uncountably infinite) set of affine estimators in non-parametric regression model with heteroscedastic Gaussian noise.

Scattering below ground state of 3D focusing cubic fractional Schordinger equation with radial data
The aim of this note is to adapt the strategy in [4][See,B.Dodson, J.Murphy, a new proof of scattering below the ground state for the 3D radial focusing cubic NLS, arXiv:1611.04195 ] to prove the scattering of radial solutions below sharp threshold for ...

Selection and focusing of higher-order modes in a CW waveguide terahertz laser
Background: The problems of selection and focusing of higher order modes of a dielectric waveguide laser are considered. The proposed and investigated scheme of mode selection in waveguide quasi-optical resonators can be used in the development and ...

Vacuum Fluctuations and the Small Scale Structure of Spacetime
We show that vacuum fluctuations of the stress-energy tensor in two-dimensional dilaton gravity lead to a sharp focusing of light cones near the Planck scale, effectively breaking space up into a large number of causally disconnected regions.

A sharp condition for scattering of the radial 3d cubic nonlinear Schroedinger equation
We consider the problem of identifying sharp criteria under which radial $H^1$ (finite energy) solutions to the focusing 3d cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) $i\partial_t u + \Delta u + |u|^2u=0$ scatter, i.e. approach the solution to a linear
