Book Description | The Essence of Dielectric Waveguides provides an overview of the fundamental behavior of guided waves, essential to finding and interpreting the results of electromagnetic waveguide problems. Clearly and concisely written as well as brilliantly organized, this volume includes a detailed description of the fundamentals of electromagnetics, as well as a new discussion on boundary conditions and attenuation. It also covers the propagation characteristics of guided waves along classical canonical dielectric structures - planar, circular cylindrical, rectangular and elliptical waveguides. What's more, the authors have included extensive coverage of inhomogeneous structures and approximate methods, as well as several powerful numerical approaches specifically applicable to dielectric waveguides. |
Editorial Review | From the reviews: "The book is intended to cover the fundamentals of wave-guiding structures over the whole electromagnetic spectrum. ... workers in the field, who employ exclusively numerical methods to treat their problems, would greatly profit reading this comprehensive text ... . The coverage of subjects is ample, diversified, and many up to date arguments are treated. ... very useful to researchers and students involved with optical communications photonics and applied electromagnetics. ... researcher in the field should have this book in his/her personal library."
