Publisher Summary The localized waves (LWs), also known as “non diffracting waves,” can
indeed resist diffraction for a long distance in free space. The term “beam” refers to a …

Recently, a method for obtaining diffraction–attenuation resistant beams in absorbing media
has been developed in terms of suitable superposition of ideal zero-order Bessel beams. In …

In this paper we use a unidirectional decomposition capable of furnishing localized wave
pulses, with luminal and superluminal peak velocities, in exact form and totally free of …

Self-collimation of tightly localized laser beams demonstrated in periodic media relies on a
perfect-matched rephasing of the Fourier constituents of the wavefield induced by a plane …

The existence of resonant enhanced transmission and the collimation of light waves by
subwavelength slits in metal films [for example, see Ebbesen, Nature (London) 391, 667 …

Starting from some general and plausible assumptions based on geometrical optics and on
a common feature of the truncated Bessel beams, a heuristic derivation is presented of very …

Since early work [1–4] on nondiffracting waves (also called localized waves), a great deal
has been published on this important subject from either the theoretical or experimental …

This paper discusses theoretical studies of optical properties of gold nanospheres and
nanorods with various aspect ratios, embedded in porous anodic alumina matrix. We show …

We numerically and analytically study orthogonal and angled coupling schemes between a
dielectric slab waveguide and a plasmonic slot waveguide for a large range of geometric …

This paper studies electromagnetic wave propagation in hybrid structures consisting of
ferrite and superconducting films. Dispersion relations for transverse electric mode of …
