Supersymmetric transparent optical intersections

Supersymmetric fluxbrane intersections and closed string tachyons

We consider NS-NS superstring model with several “magnetic” parameters bs (s = 1, ..., N) associated with twists mixing a compact S direction with angles in N spatial 2-planes of flat 10-dimensional space. It generalizes the Kaluza-Klein Melvin model which has single parameter b. The corresponding U-dual background is a R-R type IIA solution describing an orthogonal intersection of N flux 7-bra...

Supersymmetric optical structures.

We show that supersymmetry can provide a versatile platform in synthesizing a new class of optical structures with desired properties and functionalities. By exploiting the intimate relationship between superpatners, one can systematically construct index potentials capable of exhibiting the same scattering and guided wave characteristics. In particular, in the Helmholtz regime, we demonstrate ...

Acknowledgements The research presented in this thesis is motivated by a joint project of T-Systems Nova GmbH Technologiezentrum and the Konrad-Zuse-Zentrum für Informationstechnik Berlin, financed by Deutsches Forschungsnetz e.V. Working on this project was very instructive for me. The cooperation with Jörg Rambau, Diana Poensgen and Sven O. Krumke was very pleasant. I wish to thank them for t...
