Optical Waveguide Theory: Mathematical Models, Spectral Theory and Numerical Analysis

This book addresses the most advanced to—date mathematical approach and numerical methods in electromagnetic field theory and wave propagation. It presents the application of developed methods and techniques to the analysis of waves in various guiding structures —shielded and open metal—dielectric waveguides of arbitrary cross—section, planar and circular waveguides filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media and layered media with absorption. It al...
