... waves that are transverse . That is , if we have a plane wave H ( r ) = a exp ( ik · r ) , for some wave vector k , equation ( 5 ) requires that a · k = 0 . We can now focus our attention only on the other two of the Maxwell equations ...
... plane waves , polarized in the direction of Ho . Imposing the transversality requirement - equation ( 5 ) of chapter ... wave by its wave vector k , which specifies how the mode is transformed by a continuous translation operation ...
... plane of glass. If the glass extends much farther in the x and y directions than in the z direction, we may consider ... wave vector versus mode frequency for the plane of glass, the different bands correspond to different lines that ...
... plane of glass of thickness a and ɛ = 11.4 . Blue lines correspond to modes ... wave vector k along the symmetry directions are conserved quantities . If a ... plane of glass , we now discuss one of the most well- known phenomena in ...
... plane of glass of width a centered about the origin. We now wish to understand the band structure of the electromagnetic modes, by which we mean the frequency L versus the wave vector k (both of which are conserved quantities). This ...
