Near-field optics theories
Christian Girard,Alain Dereux +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of near-field optics theory is reviewed and the main results of the application of various practical schemes which all rely on a numerical procedure are discussed from the point of view of their ability to assess evanescent electromagnetic waves.

A 2dvEv- bit distributed algorithm for the directed Euler trail problem
Wen-Huei Chen,Chuan Yi Tang +1 more
TL;DR: The algorithm can be used as a building block for solving other distributed graph problems, and can be slightly modified to run on a strongly-connected diagraph for generating the existent Euler trail or to report that no Euler trails exist.

Laser-induced periodic surface structure. I. Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory for laser-induced periodic surface structure was developed by associating each Fourier component of induced structure with the corresponding Fourier components of inhomogeneous energy deposition just beneath the surface.

New form of scanning optical microscopy.
TL;DR: The exponential decay of the evanescent field due to the total internal reflection (TIR) of a light beam in a prism is used to advantage in a new form of scanning optical microscope, the photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM).
