"Adapted from a successful and thoroughly field-tested Italian text, the first edition of Electromagnetic Waves was very well received. Its broad, integrated coverage of electromagnetic waves and their applications forms the cornerstone on which the author based this second edition. Working from Maxwell's equations to applications in optical communications and photonics, Electromagnetic Waves, Second Edition forges a link between basic p ..."
Electromagnetic Waves(1st Edition) (Optoelectronics, Imaging and Sensing Series) by CarloG. Someda Hardcover, 628 Pages, Published 1998 by Crc Press ISBN-13: 978-0-412-57870-0, ISBN: 0-412-57870-0
"This book provides a comprehensive treatment of electromagnetic waves. The author's approach is thoroughly modern, and unlike many others, this text offers a unified view of electromagnetic waves and their applications in telecommunications, radar, and photonics.The extensive coverage of Electromagnetic Waves begins with Maxwell's equations and takes students on the journey from the wave and Helmholtz equations through polarization, pla ..."
"Dielectric optical waveguides have been investigated for more than two decades. In the last ten years they have had the unique position of being simultaneously the backbone of a very practical and fully developed technology, as well as an extremely exciting area of basic, forefront research. Existing waveguides can be divided into two sets: one consisting of waveguides which are already in practical use, and the second of those which ar ..."
"We will show that in a simply connected region — for the relevance of this
restriction, see again the footnote in Section 1.8 — without sources, containing a
homogeneous linear isotropic medium, any e.m. field {E.H} can be expressed as
the sum of two e.m. fields (that will be labeled, respectively, with a subscript TE
and a subscript TM), which, with respect to a unit vector a chosen in a completely
arbitrary direction, are Transve ..."
