Abstract:
We propose a method to obtain the resonance frequencies of coupled optical modes for a stack of two periodically corrugated slabs. The method is based on the modes in each slab, which are derived by the Fourier modal method in combination with the optical scattering matrix theory. We then use the resonant mode approximation of the scattering matrices to develop a linear eigenvalue problem with dimensions equal to the number of resonant modes. Its solutions are the resonance frequencies of the coupled system and exhibit a good agreement with exact solutions. We demonstrate the capabilities of this method for pairs of planar waveguides and gratings of one-dimensional wires.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.

The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N–O and N=O bonds.
