Beschreibung:
This text examines a variety of spectral computational techniques- including k-space theory, Floquet theory and beam propagation- that are used to analyze electromagnetic and optical problems. The authors tie together different applications in EM and optics in which the state variable method is used. Emphasizing the analysis of planar diffraction gratings using rigorous coupled wave analysis, the book presents many cases that are analyzed using a full-field vector approach to solve Maxwell's equations in anisotropic media where a standard wave equation approach is intractable.
