Item Open Access Non-ideal cloaking based on Fabry-Perot resonances in single-layer high-index dielectric shells(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2009) Serebryannikov, A.E.; Usik P.V.; Özbay, EkmelStrong reduction of the scattering cross section is obtained for subwavelength dielectric and conducting cylinders without any magnetism for both TE and TM polarizations. The suggested approach is based on the use of Fabry-Perot type radial resonances, which can appear in single-layer, high-ε, isotropic, and homogeneous shells with the properly chosen parameters. Frequencies of the minima of the scattering cross section, which are associated with the cloaking, typically depend on whether TE or TM polarization is considered. In some cases, large-positive-ε and largenegative-e objects can be cloaked. In other cases, non-ideal multifrequency cloaking can be realized. ©2009 Optical Society of America.Item Open Access Plasmon and grid resonances in the electromagnetic scattering by finite grids of silver nanowires(IEEE, 2010) Natarov, D. M.; Benson, T. M.; Altıntaş, Ayhan; Sauleau, R.; Nosich, A. I.The problem of the H-polarized wave scattering by finite chains of circular nanowires is considered. A two-dimensional diffraction problem with rigorous boundary conditions is solved by partial separations of variables method using local polar coordinates of each scatterer. The obtained results demonstrate convergence of the algorithm and good agreement with data known for the conducting and dielectric cylinders. Plasmonic and grid resonances are found and calculated for grids from a big number of silver nanowires. This opens a way to the accurate numerical simulation of various finite configurations of wires met in today's nano and microsize photonic devices.Item Open Access Rigorous solutions of scattering problems involving red blood cells(IEEE, 2010) Ergül, Özgür; Arslan-Ergül, Ayça; Gürel, LeventWe present rigorous solutions of scattering problems involving healthy red blood cells (RBCs) and diseased RBCs with deformed shapes. Scattering cross-section (SCS) values for different RBC shapes and different orientations are obtained accurately and efficiently using a sophisticated simulation environment based on the electric and magnetic current combinedfield integral equation and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Using SCS values, we determine strict guidelines to distinguish deformed RBCs from healthy RBCs and to diagnose related diseases.
