초록: 

- Concentrating light at the nanoscale is one of the greatest challenge in optics. If conventional optical devices are used, one cannot focus light into a spot smaller than a few hundred of nanometers due to the diffraction limit. Nano-optics overcomes this fundamental difficulty using various optical nanostructures having `geometrical singularities' on their surfaces. Light can be strongly localized near the geometric singularity point and it is of high importance to understand this singular phenomenon quantitatively for nano-optics applications. Its mathematical analysis requires to solve the PDE spectral problem for an elliptic operator where two key assumptions break down: uniform ellipticity and boundary smoothness, resulting in the singular behavior of solutions. It In this talk, we discuss how to characterize the singularity of solutions to the spectral PDE towards a mathematical theory of nano-optics.
