Multilayer homogeneous dielectric filler for electromagnetic invisibility.

In recent years, invisibility has become a research area of increasing interest due to the advances in material engineering. It may be possible to achieve invisibility through cloaking devices by coating the body using one or more layers of materials with the proper electromagnetic properties. By using techniques associated to plasmonic cloaking it is maybe possible to obtain also invisibility for small objects with several layers of homogeneous materials working from inside the object.

Fast and accurate electromagnetic solutions of finite periodic optical structures.

Electromagnetic applications of periodic materials have become popular in many modern optical and RF applications. The accurate computation of the electromagnetic response of large structures requires solving problems with high number of unknowns. Fast methods are useful to deal with such big problems, but, in general they do not take advantage of the periodicity properties.
