Electromagnetic and optical pulse propagation 2: temporal pulse dynamics in dispersive, attenuative media

Electromagnetic & Optical Pulse Propagation presents a detailed, systematic treatment of the time-domain electromagnetics with application to the propagation of transient electromagnetic fields (including ultrawideband signals and ultrashort pulses) in homogeneous, isotropic media which exhibit both temporal frequency dispersion and attenuation. The development is mathematically rigorous with strict adherence to the fundamental physical principle of causality. Approximation methods are based upon mathematically well-defined asymptotic techniques that are based upon the saddle point method. A detailed descriptionis given of the asymptotic expansions used. Meaningful exercises are given throughout the text to help the reader‘s understanding of the material, making the book a useful graduate level text in electromagnetic wave theory for both physics, electrical engineering and materials science programs. Rigorous development of the classical microscopic Maxwell-Lorentz theory Detailed developmentof the dipole radiation field from the Liénard-Wiechert potentials Correlation of the microscopic and macroscopic electromagnetic fields in linear media Detailed description of causal, physical models describing material dispersion INDICE: Pulsed Electromagnetic and Optical Beam Wave Fields in Temporally Dispersive Media.- Asymptotic Methods of Analysis using Advanced Saddle Point Techniques.- The Group Velocity Approximation.- Analysis of the Phase Functionand Its Saddle Points.- Evolution of the Precursor Fields.- Evolution of the Signal.- Continuous Evolution of hte Total Field.- Physical.- Interpretations of Dispersive Pulse Dynamics.- Applications.- Appendix F: Asymptotic Expansionof Single Integrals.- Appendix G: Proof of Theorem I.- Appendix H: The Radon Transform.- Index.
