   Författare :Arvid Hammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; limb viewing; Monte Carlo; Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange And climate Monitor Radiometer STEAMR ; quasi optics; THz; antennas; multi-beam; tolerance analysis; submillimeter-wave instruments; radiometers;

   Sammanfattning : A growing interest for making high resolution observations in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere has motivated the development of the multi-beam satellite-borne instrument Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange And climate Monitor Radiometer (STEAMR). The measurements made by STEAMR will be used to monitor trace-gases and link the occurence of these to the Earth's climate by accurate modeling of the atmosphere. LÄS MER

4. 3. Effects of surface plasmons in subwavelength metallic structures

   Författare :Srinivasan Iyer; Ari T. Friberg; N. Asger Mortensen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suface plasmons; extraordinary transmission; metamaterials; shnets; split-ring resonators; plasmon-induced EIT; optical antennas; plasmonics;

   Sammanfattning : The study of optical phenomena related to the strong electromagnetic response of noble metals (silver (Ag) and gold (Au) being most popular) over the last couple of decades has led to the emergence of a fast growing research area called plasmonics named after 'surface plasmons' which are electron density waves that propagate along the interface of a metal and a dielectric medium. Surface plasmons are formed by the coupling of light to the electrons on the metal surface subject to the fulfillment of certain physical conditions and they are bound to the metal surface. LÄS MER
