The response of matter on a temporally and spatially varying electromagnetic field at a certain point and a certain time depends on the field strength prior to this time at places close to this point. Hence the material parameters become a function of frequency $\omega$ and wavevector q, in general.
While the frequency dispersion is common knowledge and widely utilized,...

Concentrating optical energy into an ultra-small spot beyond the diffraction limit has long been an interesting topic in photonics. One of the most popular methods is to use subwavelength-sized plasmonic waveguides, based on the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on metallic surfaces. While most of the studies on plasmonic waveguides have been...
