In the field of diffractive optics of millimeter/THz wave Professors I.V.Minin and O.V.Minin achieved a number of pioneering results. They are the world leading authority on 3D diffractive focusing elements. In particular, they for the first time observed 3D subwavelength resolution for diffractive optics with focal distances less wavelength.
Profs. Minin introduced 3D real time quasioptical "radio vision" system for detection of hidden objects in millimeter/THz waves based on frequency properties of 3D diffractive optics and provided the first observations of the real-time images with quality equal to optical.
They discovered and studied the ablation and erosion process on hypervelocity flight of metal body in millimeter wave. Profs. Minin introduce a pulse plasma antenna, including explosive antenna in microwaves/millimeter waves.
Profs. Minin are the experts on sub-wavelength light concentration and super-resolution using the concept of 3D dielectric mesoscale Janus particles and discovered a new type of the near-field structured self-bending light both in transmitting and reflection modes.
