On the active manipulation of EM fields in open waveguides
  In this paper we present the extension of the results proposed in \cite{Onofrei-S} and study the problem of active control of TM waves propagating in a waveguide. The main goal is to cancel, in a prescribed near field region, the longitudinal component of the electric field of an incoming TM wave while having vanishingly small fields near the waveguide boundary. The main analytical challenge is to design appropriate source functions for the scalar Helmholtz equation so that the desired cancellation effect will be obtained. We show the existence of a class of solutions to the problem and provide numerical support of the results. Discussion on the feasibility of the proposed approach as well as possible design strategies are offered.
