The goal of this dissertation is to extend the understanding of invisible objects, in particular nonradiating sources and directional nonscattering scatterers. First, variations of null-field nonradiating sources are derived from Maxwell's equatio...

Description

Nonpropagating excitations have been studied in 1-D and in 3-D, but not so much in 2-D. So, this thesis concerns 2-D nonpropagating excitations. In particular, we construct nonpropagating excitations confined to an annulus under a time-independent...

Description

Vortices in optical beams have been the subject of extensive study since their status as a generic feature of light was established. They have found extensive use in optical trapping systems, astronomy, microscopy and are being investigated for fr...
