Tuning of transmission peaks in two-dimensional semiconductor-based photonic crystals with line defects of cylinders
We have studied transmission of light through two-dimensional photonic crystals of finite width, with the radii of the cylinders in the middle row altered in comparison to the host cylinders. Either t...

Negative refraction of left-handed behavior in porous alumina with infiltrated silver at an optical wavelength
Porous alumina with infiltrated silver is suggested to achieve a negative refraction of left-handed behavior at an optical wavelength. Numerical simulations of subwavelength focusing by a slab lens ar...

We demonstrate that the spatial resolution of images in optical tomography is not limited to the fundamental length scale of one transport mean free path. This result is facilitated by the introduction of novel corrections to the standard integral equations of scattering theory within the diffusion approximation to the radiative transport equation. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
