A simplified equation of depinning fields from notches of ferromagnetic Permalloy nanowires is presented. The derived equation is given in the form of an explicit function of nanowire width and thickness, and notch depth and angle. The equation agrees with all micromagnetic simulation results to an accuracy of ${\pm}$ 0.5 mT.

Near-field properties of light emanated from a subwavelength double slit of finite length in a thin metal film, which is essential for understanding fundamental physical mechanisms for near-field optical beam manipulations and various potential nanophotonic device applications, is investigated by using a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. Near-field intensity distribution along the propagation direction of light after passing through the slit has been obtained from the phase relation of transverse electric and magnetic fields and the wave impedance. It is found that the near field of emerged light from the both slits is evanescent, that is consistent with conventional surface plasmon localization near the metal surface. Due to the finite of the slit, the amplitude of this evanescent field does not monotonically approach to than of the infinite slit as the slit length increases, i.e. the near-field of the longer slit along the center line can be weaker than that of the shorter one.

Extraordinary phenomena related to the transmission of light via metallic films with subwavelength holes and grooves are known to be due to resonant excitation and interference of surface waves. These waves make various surface structures to have optically effective responses. Further, a related study subject involves the control of light transmitted from a single hole or slit by surrounding it with diffractive structures. This paper reports on the effects of controlling light with a periodic groove structure with Fresnel-type chirping. In Fresnel-type chirping, diffracted surface waves are coherently converged into a focus, and it is designed considering the conditions of constructive interference and angular spectrum optimization under the assumption that the surface waves are composite diffracted evanescent waves with a well-defined in-plane wavenumber. The focusing ability of the chirped periodic structures is confirmed experimentally by two-beam attenuated total reflection coupling. Critical factors for achieving subwavelength foci and bounds on size of focal spots are discussed in terms of the simulation, which uses the FDTD algorithm.

We present disordered moth eye structures on curved surfaces fabricated by dry etching of thermally dewetted metal nanoparticles. This lithography-free fabrication allows the formation of subwavelength scale nanostructures on the strongly inclined surfaces such as ball lens as well as on the microlens arrays with low curvature. In particular, we found that the size and average distance of nanostructures are closely related to the inclined angle of the surface. Experimental results on oblique angle deposition of metal thin films followed by thermal dewetting also support these effects.

We propose a novel method for the beam focusing by a single subwavelength metal slit surrounded by chirped dielectric surface gratings. In the proposed method, the period of each grating is chirped to make a focused beam at the desired position. Design of the grating structures for optimal beam focusing and the analysis of the field distribution are conducted based on the rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA). It is shown that the focused beam is formed at 1.5${\mu}m$ from the metal substrate and its full width at half maximum (FWHM) is 411nm.
