TL;DR: This paper considers antireflective properties of textured surfaces for all texture size-to-wavelength ratios and investigates asymptotic behavior of the reflection with the change of the texture geometry for the long and short wavelength limits.

TL;DR: Numerical analysis of the theoretical sensitivity limit of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) to the surrounding dielectric environment shows that, for thin (≤10 nm) analyte layers, sensitivity of the LSPR is comparable with a traditional surface plAsmon resonance sensor and L SPR has the potential to be significantly less sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

TL;DR: A simple effective model in which dielectric polarization depends both on the electric field and its first time derivative is identified, which enables nearly exact FDTD simulation of light propagation and absorption in silicon in the spectral range of 300-1000 nm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that with only 1 μm, equivalent bulk thickness of crystalline silicon, sculpted into the form of a slanted conical-pore photonic crystal and placed on a silver back-reflector, it is possible to attain a maximum achievable photocurrent density (MAPD) of 35.5 mA/cm2 from impinging sunlight.

TL;DR: This work reports an application of the correct approximation of inverse permittivity tensor epsilon(-1) at the material interface for conductive and dispersive media for Mie scattering from a small sphere.
