Chapter 4
Coupled-Mode Theory of Electromagnetism including Wide Band Distributed Interactions
Yosef Pinhasi, Yuri Lurie and Gad A. Pinhasi
Abstract
Usually the electromagnetic field is naively thought as given by six independent quantities E and B. However in chapter 2 the field was presented as dependent on a four-component vector potential. In this chapter a different approach is formulated, in which electromagnetic field is determined by two scalar complex functions. This approach will serve as a starting point for the following variational analysis given in the next chapter, where the electromagnetic field is shown to depend only on a single complex function.
