Abstract It is well known that classical optical cavities can exhibit localized phenomena associated with scattering resonances, leading to numerical instabilities in approximating the solution. This result be established via ‘quasimodes resonances’ argument from black box framework. Those concentrate at inner boundary of cavity and are called whispering gallery modes. In this paper we investig...

The question as to how the ratio of horizontal to vertical transmission depends on the coefficient of horizontal transmission is investigated in host-parasite models with one or two parasite strains. In an apparent paradox, this ratio decreases as the coefficient is increased provided that the ratio is taken at the equilibrium at which both host and parasite persist. Moreover, a completely vert...

Reflection and transmission of plane waves between two initially stressed thermoelastic half-spaces with orthotropic type of anisotropy is studied. Incidence of a SV-type wave from the lower half-space is considered and the amplitude ratios of the reflected and transmitted SV-wave, P-wave and thermal wave are obtained by using appropriate boundary conditions. Numerical computation for a particu...

A method for measurement and visualization of the complex transmission coefficient of 2-D microobjects is proposed. The method is based on calculation of the transmission coefficient from the diffraction pattern and the illumination aperture function for monochromatic light. A phase-stepping method was used for diffracted light phase determination.

A method for the inversion of block tridiagonal matrices encountered in electronic structure calculations is developed, with the goal of efficiently determining the matrices involved in the Fisher–Lee relation for the calculation of electron transmission coefficients. The new method leads to faster transmission calculations compared to traditional methods, as well as freedom in choosing alterna...

Phase measurements of the transmission coefficient are important when used for the dielectric characterization of materials. They are required for industrial material monitoring applications, where the phase is correlated with parameters such as moisture content and density, which need to be continuously determined. However, when the thickness of the material under test is greater than the wave...
