• Constructing a partially transparent computational boundary for UPPE using leaky modes 

      Juhász, Dávid; Jakobsen, Per Kristen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-19)
      In this paper, we introduce a method for creating a transparent computational boundary for the simulation of unidirectional propagation of optical beams and pulses using leaky modes. The key element of the method is the introduction of an artificial-index material outside a chosen computational domain and utilization of the quasi-normal modes associated with such artificial structure. The method is ...

      <i>Background</i> - To suppress the COVID-19 outbreak, the Norwegian government closed all schools on March 13, 2020. The kindergartens reopened on April 20, and the schools on April 27 and May 11 of 2020. The effect of these measures is largely unknown since the role of children in the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is still unclear. There are only a few studies of school closures as a separate ...
    • On the Ewald Oseen scattering formulation for light scattering: stability, singularity and parallelization. 

      Lin, Aihua; Jakobsen, Per Kristen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-15)
      In this paper we discuss some of the mathematical and numerical issues that have to be addressed when calculating wave scattering using the Ewald Oseen scattering (EOS) formulation which is newly developed for solving linear and nonlinear scattering problems. The discussion is framed in context of light scattering by objects whose optical response can be of a nonlinear and/or inhomogeneous nature. ...
