Design and analysis of diffractive micro- and nano-structures

A number of research directions in the field of nanotechnologies are presented. The solution of the inverse problem of reflectrometry aimed at finding parameters of the periodic micro- and nano-structures from the measurements of the backscattered field is considered. Design of diffractive structures to produce high-frequency interference patterns of surface plasmons is presented. Results of the analysis of diffraction gratings with resonant magnetooptical properties are discussed. Shorthand record of the presentation at seminar.
