Red blood cells (RBCs) present unique reversible shape deformability, essential for both function and survival, resulting notably in cell membrane fluctuations (CMF). These CMF have been subject of many studies in order to obtain a better understanding of ...
A point-wise approach that can be used efficiently in the numerical solution of Electric Field Integral Equations is introduced. The algorithm is based on the so-called magic distance concept, which defines exactly the point-to-point equivalent of a four-d ...
The accuracy of approximate formulas for the evaluation of lightning electromagnetic fields above and inside a lossy ground is investigated taking as reference full-wave numerical results obtained using a parallel implementation of the finite-difference ti ...
A stable second order Cartesian grid finite difference scheme for the solution of Maxwells equations is presented. The scheme employs a staggered grid in space and represents the physical location of the material and metallic boundaries correctly, hence el ...

Unlike the solid–air and solid–liquid interfaces, the optical properties of metal nanoparticles adsorbed at the liquid–liquid interface have not been theoretically exploited to date. In this work, the three dimensional finite difference time domain (3D-FDT ...
We analyze in depth the eigenmodes symmetry of the vectorial electromagnetic wave equation with discrete symmetry, using a recently developed maximal symmetrization and reduction scheme leading to an automatic technique which decomposes every mode into its ...
The authors experimentally investigate the effects of atomic layer deposition (ALD) and laser-assisted oxidation on the optical modes in GaAs L3 photonic crystal air-bridge cavities, using layers of InAs quantum dots as internal light source. Four distinct ...
The ring cyclotron of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) accelerates an intense proton beam from 72MeV up to 590MeV. This happens in four cavities of very high quality factor, oscillating in the fundamental mode. The beam can excite parasitic oscillation mo ...
Two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PhCs) at near-infrared wavelengths are promising candidates for novel integrated optics applications. The main focus being on 'all PhC' monolithically integrated optical circuits. Because of well established fabricat ...
Diffractive optical elements comprising sub-wavelength aperiodic surface reliefs of finite length require the use of rigorous solvers for Maxwell's equations. We present a detailed analysis of Focusing Grating Couplers (FGC's) using a recently introduced 2 ...
