This paper reports design, fabrication and evaluation of a novel scanning near-field probe for terahertz (THz) local timedomain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). A microfabricated scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) probe was assembled with a low-temperature-grown gallium arsenide (LT-GaAs) photoconductive antenna. The probe structure was evaluated and determined by a finite-differencetime-domain (FDTD) numerical simulation. The assembly was used as the THz emitter and local THz source. Another LT-GaAs antenna situated at the opposite side was used as the detector. A THz-TDS measurement using the microfabricated SNOM probe and photoconductive antenna was performed.

The Goos-Hanchen (GH) shift is observed from phase transition of the reflected light. However, the reported Artmann's equation is difficult to apply to drastic phase change of the critical and resonance angles because this equation is solved by differential of the phase shift. Therefore, the GH shift can be obtained from the structure optimized by the finite-difference time-domain method. In the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon, positive and negative lateral shifts may result from the variation of incidence angle. The GH shift is very important to exactly detect the output power of the micro-size SPR sensor. The accurate positive and negative lateral shifts of -0.49 and +1.46 mu m are obtained on the SPR with the incidence angles of 44.4 degrees and 47 degrees, respectively.

We investigate the intensity and amplitude distributions through a nano double-slit and a nano double-box by the two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method based on Drude model. In particular, we find that there is an 'intermediate region' between the near-field and far-field regions, which vary with thickness and width of the double-slit. Here, we describe the local fields and intensities propagating along and perpendicular to metal surface and their spatial distributions to verify the existence of the intermediate region.

In recent years, negative refractive media as the representation of new electromagnetic medium has become the front and the very popular researching field, and the production of the flat lens is one of its major applications. In our study, the imaging behaviors by two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs have been investigated systematically. We suggest a ray-tracing technique to discuss the action of photonic crystal slab with negative refraction. The propagation of electromagnetic waves in two-dimensional hexagonal lattice photonic crystal slab is investigated through dispersion characteristics analysis and numerical simulation of field patterns. Imaging and focusing with effective negative refractive index of -1 have been observed in these systems for both polarized waves, that is TE- and TM-polarized point source be considered simultaneously. Based on the exact finite-difference time-domain method to perform numerical simulation and physical analysis, we have demonstrated that the two-dimensional photonic crystal we designed can realize nearly perfect imaging with TM-polarized point source in the near field and far field, and the results are consistent with the ray-tracing technique quite well, while to TE-polarized point source the imaging is not perfect although it have n(eff)=-1 in the same direction.

A charge moving faster than the phase velocity in a medium can produces conical radiation known as Cherenkov radiation. The FDTD numerical technique is used to model this radiation process and the generated light spectrum is used to explore the optical properties of photonic crystal and quasi-crystals. It is shown that the radiation from the fast moving charge is able to provide information on the band gap and transmission spectrums, defect state wavelengths and waveguide propagation.

We have obtained the azimuthal angle dependence of the second harmonic (SH) intensity from bimetallic Pt/Cu and Pt/SiO/Cu nanowire arrays. The arrays were fabricated by shadow deposition on NaCl(110) faceted templates. The SH intensity from the Pt/Cu nanowire array measured in S-in/S-out polarization combination were 4.7 times larger than that from the Pt/SiO/Cu nanowire array at the fundamental photon energy of 2.33 eV. Phenomenological analysis of the intensity patterns and numerical calculation of the local fields have shown that the inversion symmetry broken at the metal-metal interface is responsible for the enhanced SH generation from the Pt/Cu bimetallic nanowire arrays.

Functional ultra high resolution optical coherence tomography (fUHROCT) was used to non-invasively probe the functional response of retinal photoreceptors. Using this technique, time dependent changes in light reflectivity of the retinal photoreceptor layer were measured after external white light stimulation. The causes of the observed changes are currently not known. To better understand the observed reflectivity signals, we have developed a computational model based on the finite-difference time-domain method to simulate light scattering from retinal neurons. Preliminary simulation results suggest that cell dynamics and cell volume changes are the likely causes of the observed signals.

Lightning return-stroke models are needed to study lightning effects on various objects and systems, as well as in characterizing the lightning electromagnetic environment. Reviewed here are models based on Maxwell's equations and referred to as electromagnetic models. In contrast to distributed-circuit and so-called engineering models, electromagnetic models of the lightning return stroke allow a self-consistent full-wave solution for both current distribution along the lightning channel and associated electromagnetic fields. In this paper, we review electromagnetic models with an emphasis on their applications.

A rigorous analysis is presented together with novel designs of high-gain sub-wavelength resonant cavity antennas. The antennas under investigation are formed by partially reflective surfaces placed in close proximity over artificial periodic metamaterial ground planes with specific reflection phase responses. A fullwave periodic leaky-wave analysis is applied to this class of antennas for the first time and the results are reported and discussed. finite-size antenna designs are studied at wireless LAN frequencies (3.7 GHz) using 3-D full-wave software and the results are compared to the predictions of the leaky-wave analysis. Furthermore, the field distribution and the effect of losses are investigated. Finally, practical designs of sub-wavelength 2-D leaky-wave antennas with high-gain performance are presented.
