Project “Buksir 3
The “enhanced transmission phenomenon” of the waveguide dominant mode total transmission through the iris having a below-cutoff hole has been found. Such an effect is manifested at a frequency near cutoff of the first higher mode exciting at given symmetry and is associated with excitation of the plane-junction eigen oscillation (“aperture eigenoscillation”). This phenomenon extends essentialy the set of in the waveguides and has to be included into classical ones. N.G.Don, A.A.Kirilenko

Research project “Buksir-3”
For the first time, original electromagnetic explanation for the total transmission through the set of below cut-off openings was proposed. The explanation is based on the excitation of high-quality eigen oscillations of the junction plane between a perforated metallic screen and a free space. Basing on proposed explanation, new topologies of grating, providing the total transmission through the set of below cut-off openings were proposed. The resonant frequency of the grating is less significantly than known grating’ operating frequency А.А.Kirilenko, А.О.Perov.

Research project “Buksir-3”
The existence of eigen oscillations with the real eigen frequencies (i.e, without radiation losses) is proven for the waveguide or doubly periodic nanostructures (theoretically even of zero volume). For example, it was proven for a thin wire with a step connecting the waveguide walls and for a plane grating of conductors with periodic steps. The respective resonance frequency is characterized by total reflection of a waveguide mode or a plane wave from the structure. It can be placed in any position of a wide band of the single-mode frequency range. For the first time the objects of ultra-small volume were demonstrated that has the oscillations with Q-factor limited only by ohmic losses. These oscillations are not related to any symmetry of the object or to the proximity to any critical point. They owe their existence only by the geometry of the selected planar waveguide object or the planar doubly periodic grating. Applied significance of the result is the ability to create new types of filters and frequency-selective structures with very narrow pass band, photonic crystals based on the appropriate nanostructures, virtually single-mode open resonators, and the super Q open resonators based on the superconducting nano-gratings.

Research project “Buksir-3”
The effect of “enhanced transition” of electromagnetic waves through small holes of a grating with regular defect was revealed. It observed at significantly lower frequencies in comparison with the already known effect for the regular structures. The resonance in the “old” frequency point is preserved. On this basis the double-band metamaterials, whose properties are based on the effect of “enhanced transition,” can be constructed.
If the holes of the grating are comparable with the wavelength and have their own resonance, then the defect in the geometry of a periodic cell results in the resonance of total reflection between two pass bands. This effect opens the way for the introduction of attenuation poles in the characteristics of spatial frequency- or angular-selective filters to improve their selectivity. A.O. Perov, A.A. Kirilenko.
The “electrodynamic” nature of the phenomenon of “optical activity” was clarified for metamaterials formed by a grating of periodically arranged plane-chiral objects and dielectric layers, or arrays of objects with rotational symmetry of the fourth order. It was found that the structural reason of the effect consists in the desymmetrization of the object in the longitudinal direction and in its transformation from a “planar-chiral” to 3-D-chiral with characteristic for “optical activity” rotation of the plane of polarization. As it turned out, the internal mechanism consists in the presence of the higher backward waves between the layers of the structure. They generate the cross-polarized field, while the planar-chiral layer cannot generate it by itself. N.G. Kolmakova (Don), A.A. Kirilenko, S.L. Prosvirnin (Institute of Radio Astronomy.)

Research project “Buksir-3”
The generalized approach for solution of the vector boundary value problems in the waveguides with piecewise coordinate boundaries was built, implemented, debugged and verified on a wide variety of practical and fundamental problems. The essential advance is the account of the electromagnetic field behavior on the edges, which dramatically improves the performance of numerical algorithms and greatly expands the range of their application in the analysis of problems of propagation and diffraction of waves and the problems of eigen oscillations and waves in the configurationally complex systems. A.A. Kirilenko, S.O. Steshenko, S.A. Prikolotin, L.A. Rud.
The properties of the near-field enhancement and sub-wavelength focusing by the single- and multilayered gratings of silver nanospheres were investigated in the optical wavelength range. It has been shown that the frequencies of the pronounced phenomena correspond to flat zones of the dispersion curves for the modes polarized orthogonally to the grating. S.O. Steshenko.
The eigen oscillations of a pair of tightly coupled silver nanospheres were considered based on the approximate dipole model. It was shown that this structure can support the longitudinal and transverse, symmetric and antisymmetric oscillations. The relative positions of these four eigen frequencies were described. S.A. Steshenko.
It has been found that the asymmetric waveguide-dielectric insert can greatly absorb the energy of the fundamental wave from one arm and strongly reflect it from another one at the resonant frequency. Maximum absorption occurs when the sum of the coupling coefficients of the resonators with the supply waveguides is equal to one. A physical interpretation of the mechanism of resonant absorption was suggested based on the study of field diffraction. Such an effect can be expected in optics in the problems of excitation of the dielectric layers with periodic gratings. L.A. Rud.

An analytical explanation is given to the phenomenon of “optical activity” in the metamaterial structures based on conjugate waveguide diaphragms or periodic screens. The theory of groups and the spectral theory have been applied in order to reveal a relation between the regimes of the total transformation of the incident wave and the excitation of a special class of dihedral eigenmodes due to the spatial symmetry of the structures under consideration.

Scientific research project “START- 4”
The boundary value problems were formulated to describe the propagation and scattering of waves of different polarization in 2D periodic gratings, taking into account the exact boundary conditions on the ideally conducting elements and the conditions of quasi-periodicity on the boundary of the cell. Appropriate algorithms for automated partitioning of the elementary cell of 2D periodic grating consisting of the metal elements into a set of partial regions were developed. Each partial region allows separating the variables in the boundary-value problems describing the propagation and the scattering of waves on the gratings of the type under consideration. The algorithms are implemented in the MWD modeling system. The results allow conducting electromagnetic analysis as single grating with complex structure of the period, as well as complex multilayer gratings with dielectric filling. The study of the polarization dependencies of the perforated screens, depending on the layout of the periodic cell and the relative arrangement of the screens, was carried out. A theoretical and experimental study of the transformation of electromagnetic fields in polarization rotators and polarization transformers of complex cross-sections was carried out. The structure of the fields of appropriate natural proper oscillations in the corresponding resonators was investigated and its conformity to the resonance phenomena was established. The investigated devices are original and can be widely used in angular- and frequency-selective units of antenna-feeding circuits in a wide frequency range up to subTHz one (A.P.Kirilenko, D.Yu.Kulik, L.P.Mospan, A.O.Perov, S.A.Steshenko).
