... chapter 2 now contains a section introducing the useful technique of perturbation analysis and a section on understanding the subtle differences between discrete and continuous frequency ranges. Chapter 3 includes a section describing ...
... chapter 2, we discuss the macroscopic Maxwell equations as they apply to dielectric media. These equations are cast as a single Hermitian differential equation, a form in which many useful properties become easy to demonstrate: the ...
... chapter 4, we will see that one-dimensional systems can exhibit three important phenomena: photonic band gaps, localized modes, and surface states. Because the index contrast is only along one direction, the band gaps and the bound ...
... chapter 10. Nevertheless , it is a remarkable fact that many interesting and useful properties arise from the ... chapter 9 . 6 It is straightforward to include μ ‡ 1 ; see footnote 17 on page 17 . μ sinusoidally ( harmonically ) with ...
... chapter 3.15 Magnetic vs. Electric Fields We digress here to answer a question that commonly arises at this stage : why work with the magnetic field instead of the electric field ? In the previous sections , we reformulated the Maxwell ...
