Abstract
We consider an interesting domain of diffractive optics, namely the physics and technology of optical interface with subwavelength-structured features. Such interfaces act as effective media, which may, e.g., simulate the operation of multilayer film stacks and often feature anisotropic optical properties. The principles of the analysis and design of these interfaces are covered, and several prominent fields of application are described. The challenge of fabricating subwavelength-structured interface by low-voltage electron beam nanolithography is considered.
