On the Wiener–Hopf Method for Surface Plasmons: Diffraction from Semiinfinite Metamaterial Sheet
نویسنده
چکیده
By formally invoking the Wiener–Hopf method, we explicitly solve a one-dimensional, singular integral equation for the excitation of a slowly decaying electromagnetic wave, called surface plasmon-polariton (SPP), of small wavelength on a semiinfinite, flat conducting sheet irradiated by a plane wave in two spatial dimensions. This setting is germane to wave diffraction by edges of large sheets of single-layer graphene. Our analytical approach includes (i) formulation of a functional equation in the Fourier domain; (ii) evaluation of a split function, which is expressed by a contour integral and is a key ingredient of the Wiener–Hopf factorization; and (iii) extraction of the SPP as a simple-pole residue of a Fourier integral. Our analytical solution is in good agreement with a finite-element numerical computation.

Wiener-Hopf Analysis of the H-Polarized Plane Wave Diffraction by a Finite Sinusoidal Grating
The diffraction by a finite sinusoidal grating is analyzed for the H-polarized plane wave incidence using the Wiener-Hopf technique combined with the perturbation method.

متن کاملThe Wiener--Hopf Technique for Impenetrable Wedges Having Arbitrary Aperture Angle
The diffraction by impenetrable wedges having arbitrary aperture angle is studied by means of the Wiener-Hopf (W-H) technique. A system of functional equations called generalized Wiener-Hopf equations (GWHE) is obtained. Only for certain values of the aperture angle these equations are recognizable as standard or classical Wiener-Hopf equations (CWHE). However, in all cases, a mapping to a suit...

In this study we have examined a plane wave diffraction problem by a finite plate having different impedance boundaries. The Fourier transforms were used to reduce the governing problem into simultaneous Wiener-Hopf equations which are then solved using the standard Wiener-Hopf procedure. Afterwards the separated and interacted fields were developed asymptotically by using inverse Fourier trans...
