Electromagnetics and Optics
Author: E. E. Kriezis
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789810208486
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 594
Book Description
The book addresses the natural link between electromagnetics and optics. The electromagnetic origin of optical phenomena is sought through a dual approach to optics which is based on the wave equation and ray theory. A review of the underlying principles, as well as mechanisms of wave/ray interactions with matter are presented first. An examination of guided propagation of light through various dielectric waveguides follows. Aspects of resonant light propagation, such as Gaussian beams, resonators and lasers, are treated next. The basic theory of light processing by optical elements is presented in the fourth part which covers Fourier optics, the scalar theory of diffraction and holography. The book further refers to miscellaneous topics, such as optical radiation, remote sensing and nonlinear phenomena.

Understanding Geometric Algebra for Electromagnetic Theory
Author: John W. Arthur
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470941634
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This book aims to disseminate geometric algebra as a straightforward mathematical tool set for working with and understanding classical electromagnetic theory. It's target readership is anyone who has some knowledge of electromagnetic theory, predominantly ordinary scientists and engineers who use it in the course of their work, or postgraduate students and senior undergraduates who are seeking to broaden their knowledge and increase their understanding of the subject. It is assumed that the reader is not a mathematical specialist and is neither familiar with geometric algebra or its application to electromagnetic theory. The modern approach, geometric algebra, is the mathematical tool set we should all have started out with and once the reader has a grasp of the subject, he or she cannot fail to realize that traditional vector analysis is really awkward and even misleading by comparison. Professors can request a solutions manual by email: [email protected]

Electrodynamics and Optics
Author: Wolfgang Demtröder
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030022919
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
This engaging text offers an accessible and clear treatment of the fundamentals of electromagnetics and optics, a core part of the standard undergraduate physics curriculum. Starting with static electric and magnetic fields, the book works through electromagnetic oscillations and the formation and propagation of electromagnetic waves, before moving on to geometric and wave optics, optical instrumentation and some discussion of new technologies in optics. The text is written from the experimental physics point of view, giving numerous real life examples and applications of devices. This highly motivating presentation deepens the knowledge in a very accessible way, carefully interweaving theory and practical applications. Students are guided through the material with well-chosen examples and case studies, and helpful chapter summaries are provided together with numerous exercises and detailed solutions, all intended to motivate and develop a well-founded understanding of the subject matter.

Optical Fiber Theory: A Supplement To Applied Electromagnetism
Author: Pierre-andre Belanger
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813104651
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
This book describes the electromagnetic theory for the propagating modes of dielectric guides with the objective of understanding the applications of these guides to a telecommunication system. Every book on classical electromagnetism introduces the metallic waveguides as an example of application of the Maxwell equations with boundary conditions. A few books summarily describe the dielectric guides. Nevertheless, following the applications of these guides in the form of optical fibers, it has become essential for a course on applied electromagnetism to cover this theory and emphasize on the dispersion minimisation which allows an extreme bandwidth. The dispersionless “solitonic” solution is introduced to inform the reader on this new optical pulse shape which may soon ensure transoceanic communications. The study of the minimisation of the waveguide dispersion leads us, by means of several calculated frames, to the weakly-guiding condition. This essential condition for a large bandwidth fiber leads us to the introduction of the practical LP modes. In order to initiate the reader into integrated optics components, the electromagnetic solution for two coupled planar waveguides is treated in an appendix. Another appendix allows the reader to go through a quick initiation of the geometrical optics theory (essential for the study of graded-index fiber), being the iconal equation and the ray equation starting from Maxwell equation under the short wavelength approximation.
