Transient electromagnetic pulse propagation in temporally dispersive materials
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar elektromagnetisk vågutbredning i dispersiva material. Ett material är dispersivt om vågor med olika frekvenser propagerar genom det med olika hastigheter, dvs om materialparametrar är frekvensberoende. Pulsutbredning i dispersiva media karakteriseras av att pulsens form ändras under utbredning genom materialet. Traditionellt behandlas vågutbredninThis thesis treats the problem of transient electromagnetic pulse propagation in temporally dispersive media. The analysis is performed using time-domain techniques. In particular, the dispersive wave splitting which decouples the Maxwell equations both in vacuum and inside the medium is utilized. Complex time-dependent electromagnetic fields are introduced. These fields simplify the Maxwell equat
