Nonlinear characteristics of air pressure variation and wave transformation of a fixed air-chamber structure are discussed theoretically and experimentally. Two analytical methods(method I and II) based on the perturbation method and Green's formula are employed in order to evaluate nonlinearities by the submerged and semi-submerged air-chamber structure. Moreover, an air compression model is newly developed to estimate the dynamic air pressure in the air-chamber inside the structure, assuming the Boyle-Charles's law with adiabatic process in the air pressure variation. Theoretical values of the method I considering evanescent mode waves at an fictious boundary, are in good agreement with those of method II employing the fictious boundary which is not affected by evanescent mode waves. Both theoretical values are shown to agree well with experimental values.

The vibration of a cylindrical shell is generated due to elastic waves propagating on the shell. Those elastic waves include propagating waves such as flexural, longitudinal and shear waves. Those also include non-propagating decaying waves, i.e. evanescent waves. In order to separate contributions of each type of waves to the data for the vibration of the cylindrical shell, spatial signal processing techniques for wavenumber analysis are investigated in this paper. Those techniques include Fast Fourier transform(FFT) algorithm, Extended Prony method and Overdetermined Modified Extended Prony method(OMEP). Those techniques have been applied to identify the waves from simulated vibration signals with various signal-to-noise ratios. Futhermore, the experimental data for in-plane vibration of the cylindrical shell has been processed with those techniques to identify propagating waves(longitudinal, shear and flexural waves) and evanescent waves.

In this paper, we fabricated the polymer waveguide type surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor using a white light source and optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). Fabricated sensor uses the principle of phase matching between evanescent wave and surface plasmon wave. According to the measuring result, the shift of resonance wavelength conducts the change of the refractive index. The proposed SPR sensor is expected to apply the integrated multichannel SPR sensor and the realtime monitoring system.

A high density optical data storage device has been required for many years. In the field of the optical data storage, a near-field recording (NFR) technology is considered as a next generation one for achieving the high data density. Due to an evanescent wave effect occurred under 100nm distance which is the excessively small distance between the SIL and the disc, the most significant and difficult problem in this technology is to maintain a gap between a solid immersion lens (SIL) and a disc. Also, maintaining the gap under at least 50nm is required in the NFR gap servo system to use the evanescent wave effect efficiently. There are some institutes that have shown the novel gap servo control. In general, they use a mode switching servo method which consists of approach, hand-over and gap control mode. However there is a critical problem such as an overshoot at the tuning point from the approach mode to the hand-over mode, which may cause a collision between the SIL and the disc. In this paper, we show our NFR system and an improved gap servo system using an exponential function as the approach mode which can reduce the overshoot.

In this study, a multichannel taste sensor using the evanescent field absorption in fiber optic was developed, and evaluated its characteristics for several basic taste substances. This sensor is based on the change of evanescent field absorption at the surface of optical fiber core layer. The sensor device was made of a plastic-clad-silica fiber (3M Co., FP-400-UHT, core diameter $400\;{\mu}m$) and a middle portion of cladding layer was removed and the surface of stripped fiber core was dip-coated with a sensing membrane. And then, it was determined the difference of evanescent field absorption into the sensing membrane, according to various taste substances and its concentrations variance. The sensing membranes were prepared with six kinds of dyes, were known as potential sensitive dye together with silicone polymer the same refractive index of cladding. Each output patterns were obtained from the sensor devices could be distinguished not only five kinds of basic taste substances such as sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness and umami, but also various mixed taste substances.

We observe that the transmission and reflection efficiencies of a one-dimensional metallic grating under transverse-magnetic illumination calculated using the Fourier modal method (FMM) with the Fourier factorization rules have peculiar fluctuations, albeit small in magnitude, as the number of field harmonics increases. It is shown that when the number of Fourier terms for the electromagnetic field is increased from that in the conventional FMM, the fluctuations due to non-convergent highly evanescent eigenmodes can be eliminated. Our examination reveals that the fluctuations originate from the Gibbs phenomenon inherent in the Fourier-series representation of a permittivity function with discontinuities, and from non-convergence of highly evanescent internal Bloch eigenmodes.

An ocean buoy energy farm is considered for Green energy generation and delivery to small towns along the Korean coast. The present study presents that the floating buoy-type energy farm appears to be sufficiently feasible for trapping more energy compared to affixed cylinder duck array. It is also seen from the numerical results that the resonated waves between spaced buoys are further trapped by floating buoy motion.Our numerical study is analyzed by a plane-wave approximation, in which evanescent mode effects are included in a modified mild-slope equation based on the scattering characteristics for a single buoy.

As the interest in the millimeter wave frequency (30 ~300 GHz) increases, Nonradiative Dielectric (NRD) guide is being more attractive due to its low loss characteristics. Most of millimeter wave components, which can be realized with waveguide, can also be realized with NRD guide since NRD guide has similar dispersion characteristics and field patterns to waveguide. Previously, Variational Method was applied to the gap discontinuity problem to design a gap-coupled NRD bandpass filter. In this paper, the design procedure was simplified by replacing the air gap region with an equivalent circuit model of an evanescent waveguide using the fact that the NRD guide has a similar structure with a dielectric-filled metal waveguide. Prior to applying this design method to the bandpass filter of millimeter wave frequency range, a bandpass filter of which center frequency is 10 GHz(3-Pole, 0.1 dB ripple, 2% fractional bandwidth) was designed and fabricated. The measured result agrees with one simulated with HFSS within an error range of a fabrication.

A theoretical formulation is performed to investigate the wave reflection and transmission ratios by a submerged multi-layered rubble-mound breakwater. This theory, which is based on the linear boundary integral method, can be extended to the multi-layered breakwater with arbitrary cross section. In the theoretical analysis evanescent mode wave is not considered, since fictitious open boundaries are put on the places far from the structure. Therefore the mathematical presentation may be simpler, and computational time shorter. The validity of obtained numerical results is demonstrated by comparing with ones of impermeable and permeable breakwaters. Comparison shows resonable agreement. On the basis of these verifications this theory is applied to the one and two-layered submerged rubble-mound breakwater with trapezoidal type.

The bragg reflection of obliquely incident monochromatic water waves propagating over a sinusoidally varying topography is theoretically investigated in this study. The eigenfunction expansion method is first employed to calculate reflection coefficients of water waves due to depth changes. A reasonable agreement is observed. Obtained reflection coefficients of normally incident waves are compared with laboratory measurements. Reflection coefficients of obliquely incident waves are then calculated. The wavenumber providing the Bragg reflection agrees well with analytical predictions.
