Produktbeschreibung
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.
"It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress which comes from a satisfactory philosophy of ignorance, the great progress which is the fruit of freedom of thought, to proclaim the value of this freedom, to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming generations" -- Richard Feynman, 1955 -- First, as students from Cal Tech and MIT and then as researchers and teachers from other universities and industry, we are bene?ted greatly from the philo- phy of learning practiced by these and other distinguished universities in the US, namely, learn and teach the fundamentals and not the fashions. Under this guiding light, this comprehensive book was formed, covering the most important modern topics on guided waves. As such, it may be used as a research reference book or as a textbook for senior undergraduate students or ?rst-year graduate students. The lectures for an one-semester or one-quarter course on guided waves along surface wave structures can begin with a review of EM fundamentals (Chap. 2), and then move on to a discussion on the general important and relevant characteristics of these guided surface waves (Chap. 3). Then follows the rigorous analytic treatment for canonical structures (planar, circular, and elliptical) (Chaps. 4-8). By the end of these lectures, the students would have gained a very solid theoretical fo- dation on this subject. Then the fun part starts.
Rezensionen
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." (Mario Bertolotti, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 52 (1), 2011)
