This talk will give an overview of intriguing complex phenomena, attracting a lot of attention in the modern wave physics which can be, however, effectively described by simple models of classical resonators and wave coupling. I will discuss:
(i) surface plasmon-polariton systems, including extraordinary optical transmission, total absorption of electromagnetic waves, and perfect LHM lens;
(ii) waves in random media, including Anderson localized modes, and quasi-extended "necklace" states;
(iii) coupled plasmon-polariton and spatial-soliton exotic waveguides."
