The effect of spatial harmonics of a square-wave surface grating on the multiband frequency response of ultrasonic SH waves in an elastic plate is investigated. Stopbands are found to occur under simultaneous occurrence of first-order and higher-order Bragg resonances together with co-directional and/or contra-directional mode coupling conditions. The odd harmonic nature of the structure causes stopbands to appear above the cutoff frequencies of the odd-numbered modes. The attenuation within stopbands is found to be greatest when all propagating modes are coupled and reflected. The simultaneous resonance conditions for higher order stopbands must contain at least one co-directional mode coupling condition. The analysis is performed according to the multiple scales scheme, leading to the derivation of coupled mode equations, which are solved numerically using the fundamental matrix method.

In this work, a specially designed multilayer indium tin oxide (ITO) mesh structure metasurface was proposed as a microwave absorber, achieving both excellent angle-insensitive broadband absorption and high shielding effectiveness (SE). It features gradually changing surface resistance ( ), to expand the absorption bandwidth while maintaining high SE. Also, a folded square ring metasurface was designed to effectively suppress surface wave grating lobes, as well as to reduce the unit size of the metasurface and thus the absorber.

We measured and compared the principal indices and principal axes orientations of NTFs grown on both a grating and a smooth glass substrate. By adjusting the deposition angle, we observed a significant variation in the columnar angle and principal indices of the NTF on the grating, compared to the NTF on a smooth surface.

Interference of surface plasmons has been widely utilized in optical metrology for applications such as high-precision sensing. In this paper, we introduce a surface plasmon interferometer with the potential to be arranged in arrays for parallel multiplexing applications. The interferometer features two grating couplers that excite surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waves traveling along a gold-air interface before converging at a gold nanoslit where they interfere.

Monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides, such as MoS, have attracted significant attention for their exceptional electronic and optical properties, positioning them as ideal candidates for advanced optoelectronic applications. Despite their strong excitonic effects, the atomic-scale thickness of these materials limits their light absorption efficiency, necessitating innovative strategies to enhance light-matter interactions. Plasmonic nanostructures offer a promising solution to overcome those challenges by amplifying the electromagnetic field and also introducing other mechanisms, such as hot electron injection.

A core dielectric cylindrical rod wrapped in a dielectric circular pipe whose outer surface is enclosed by a helical conducting strip grating that is skewed along the axial direction is herein analyzed using the asymptotic strip boundary conditions along with classical vector potential analysis. Targeted for use as a cylindrical holographic antenna, the resultant field solutions facilitate the aperture integration of the equivalent cylindrical surface currents to obtain the radiated far fields. As each rod section of a certain skew angle exhibits a distinct modal attribute; this topology allows for the distribution of the cylindrical surface impedance via the effective refractive index to be modulated, as in gradient-index (GRIN) materials.
