A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic excitation existing on the surface of
a good metal. It is an intrinsically two-dimensional excitation whose electromagnetic field …

Numerical methods are of great importance in the study of electromagnetic scattering from
random rough surfaces. This review provides an overview of rough surface scattering and …

A nanowire-based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensor has been
investigated to evaluate the impact of design parameters of nanowires on the excitation of …

We derive general relationships of the S matrix of fields containing evanescent components.
Our formalism covers time-independent quantum scattering as well as scattering of classical …

A new technique, the steepest descent-fast multipole method (SDFMM), is developed to
efficiently analyze scattering from perfectly conducting random rough surfaces. Unlike other …

A rigorous formulation for the scattering of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP's) from a one-
dimensional surface defect of any shape that yields the electromagnetic field in the vacuum …

The influence of topography and variations of optical properties on the near field scattered
by an inhomogeneous sample is analyzed. A perturbative expression of the near field is …

The problem of the interplay between Anderson localization and the leakage of the surface
plasmon polaritons (SPPs) scattered from finite one-dimensionally (1D) rough region of the …

Using the unitarity and reciprocity preserving formulation of Brown et al a perturbation
treatment, correct to fourth order in the surface profile function, is given for the scattering of …

A survey is given of a variety of effects that can arise in the scattering of electromagnetic
waves from one-and two-dimensional randomly rough surfaces. The focus is primarily on …
