Development of mesoscale photonics and plasmonics: a tribute to the jubilee of Professors Igor V. Minin and Oleg V. Minin

This March 2020, Professors Igor V. Minin and Oleg V. Minin, Doctors of Physics, correspondent members of Russian Academy of Metrology, outstanding scientists in the field of diffractive optics, terahertz photonics and calculation experiment technology, has marked their 60-th anniversary. This article gives a brief review of their life-time achievements in science and education. We briefly analyze the jubilee's contribution to the development of photonics, diffractive optics, shock waves, cumulative jets, field localization by mesoscale particles, and acoustic.
