The progress in two-dimensional materials has led to rapid experimental developments quantum plasmonics, where light is manipulated using plasmons. Although numerical methods can be used quantitatively describe plasmons spatially inhomogeneous systems, they are limited relatively small setups. Here, we present a novel semi-analytical method media within the framework of Random Phase Approximati...

The one-dimensional Marchenko equation forms the basis for inverse scattering problems in which the scattering object is accessible from one side only. Here we derive a three-dimensional (3D) Marchenko equation which relates the single-sided reflection response of a 3D inhomogeneous medium to a field inside the medium. We show that this equation is solved by a 3D iterative data-driven focusing ...

2014 Metal-dielectric inhomogeneous media exhibit contrasted physical properties according to the nature of the metallic inclusion : noble or transition. A comparison between Au-MgO and Pt-Al2O3 thin films (prepared by sputtering), based on their optical, electrical and structural properties, is presented. The optical properties are analysed using two effective medium theories : Maxwell Garnett...
