... example, chapter 2 now contains a section introducing the useful technique of perturbation analysis and a section on ... examples. This chapter has also been expanded to in- clude an introduction and practical guide to temporal coupled ...
... example, a semiconduc- tor has a complete band gap between the valence and conduction energy bands. The optical analogue is the photonic crystal, in which the atoms or molecules are replaced by macroscopic media with differing ...
... example , given a certain mode profile , we can construct another legitimate mode profile with the same frequency by simply doubling the field strength everywhere ( a = 2 , p = 0 ) . For this reason we consider two field patterns that ...
... example, if the dielectric configuration is invariant under a 120◦ rotation, modes that differ only by a 120◦ rotation are expected to have the same frequency. Such modes are degenerate and are not necessarily orthogonal. However ...
... example , Jackson ( 1998 ) from the principle of conservation of energy . Note that the energy equations change in the presence of nonnegligible material dispersion . have equally well tried the alternate approach : solve for 16 CHAPTER ...
