The authors theoretically demonstrate a plamonic beam deflector based on the particular
properties of surface plasmon polaritons in metallic nanoslits. Beam deflection ranging from …

Planetary nebulae (PNe) are now well established as probes of galaxy dynamics and as
standard candles in distance determinations. Motivated by the need to improve the efficiency …

A nematic liquid crystal (NLC) layer with the anisotropy axis modulated at a fixed rate q in
the transverse direction is considered. If the layer locally constitutes a half-wave plate, then …

An introduction to the design and fabrication of diffractive optical elements is presented.
Design techniques for diffractive optic in the two theoretical design areas, the scalar and …

Polarization beam splitters, devices that separate the two orthogonal polarizations of light
into different propagation directions, are among the most ubiquitous optical elements …
