The scattering of electromagnetic wave by a periodic array of nanowires is calculated by the boundary element method. The method is extended to the infinite grating near the interface between two dielectrics. A special Green function is derived that allows to study the evanescent wave. The Rayleigh--- Woods anomalies are found in the period-to-wavelength dependence of the average Pointing vector in the wave zone. For thin wires the calculations are shown to agree with the two-dimensional coupled dipole approximation.

Two-dimensional problem of evanescent wave scattering by dielectric or metallic cylinders near the interface between two dielectric media is solved numerically by boundary integral equations method. A special Green function was proposed to avoid the
infinite integration. A pattern with a circular and a prolate elliptic cylinders, respectively, is suggested to simulate the sample and the probe in near-field optical microscopy. The energy flux in the midplane of the probe-cylinder is calculated as a function of its position.
We show that in order to guide waves, it is sufficient to periodically truncate their edges. The modes supported by this type of wave guide propagate freely between the slits, and the propagation pattern repeats itself. We experimentally demonstrate
this general wave phenomenon for two types of waves: (i) plasmonic waves propagating on a metal-air interface that are periodically blocked by nanometric metallic walls, and (ii) surface gravity water waves whose evolution is recorded, the packet is truncated, and generated again to show repeated patterns. This guiding concept is applicable for a wide variety of waves.
Breaking the diffraction limit is always an appealing topic due to the urge for a better imaging resolution in almost all areas. As an effective solution, the superlens based on the plasmonic effect can resonantly amplify evanescent waves, and achiev
e subwavelength resolution. However, the natural plasmonic materials, within their limited choices, usually have inherit high losses and are only available from the infrared to visible wavelengths. In this work, we have theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that the arbitrary materials, even air, can be used to enhance evanescent waves and build low loss superlens with at the desired frequency. The operating mechanisms reside in the dispersion-induced effective plasmons in a bounded waveguide structure. Based on this, we constructed the hyperbolic metamaterials and experimentally verified its validity in the microwave range by the directional propagation and imaging with a resolution of 0.087 wavelength. We have also demonstrated that the imaging potential can be extended to terahertz and infrared bands. The proposed method can break the conventional barriers of plasmon-based lenses and bring new possibilities to the field of superresolution imaging from microwave to infrared wavelengths.
In this manuscript we investigate the capabilities of the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) to simulate scattering from particles that are much larger than the wavelength of the incident light, and describe an optimized publicly available DDA compu
ter program that processes the large number of dipoles required for such simulations. Numerical simulations of light scattering by spheres with size parameters x up to 160 and 40 for refractive index m=1.05 and 2 respectively are presented and compared with exact results of the Mie theory. Errors of both integral and angle-resolved scattering quantities generally increase with m and show no systematic dependence on x. Computational times increase steeply with both x and m, reaching values of more than 2 weeks on a cluster of 64 processors. The main distinctive feature of the computer program is the ability to parallelize a single DDA simulation over a cluster of computers, which allows it to simulate light scattering by very large particles, like the ones that are considered in this manuscript. Current limitations and possible ways for improvement are discussed.

Spin-momentum locking of evanescent waves describes the relationship between the propagation constant of an evanescent mode and the polarization of its electromagnetic field, giving rise to applications in light nano-routing and polarimetry among man
y others. The use of complex numbers in physics is a powerful representation in areas such as quantum mechanics or electromagnetism; it is well known that a lossy waveguide can be modelled with the addition of an imaginary part to the propagation constant. Here we explore how these losses are entangled with the polarization of the associated evanescent tails for the waveguide, revealing a well-defined mapping between waveguide losses and the Poincare sphere of polarizations, in what could be understood as a polarization-loss locking of evanescent waves. We analyse the implications for near-field directional coupling of sources to waveguides, as optimized dipoles must take into account the losses for a perfectly unidirectional excitation. We also reveal the potential advantage of calculating the angular spectrum of a source defined in a complex, rather than the traditionally purely real, transverse wavevector space formalism.
