35484 Electromagnetic Wave Theory
6cp; 3hpw, supported by at least 3hpw of individual or group studyThis is a foundation graduate-level subject intended to prepare students for research studies in which electromagnetic wave theory is a key component of the knowledge base. This particular subject has a strong emphasis on optics and photonics, motivated by a number of paradigm problems of interest in contemporary photonics research. Particular topics include: Maxwell's equations; diffraction by a single scatterer, a finite collection of scatterers and periodic media; electromagnetic diffraction grating theory; periodicity and Bloch conditions; Green's functions and integral equation methods; Eigenfunction/model methods; Multipole methods; energy conservation and reciprocity; stratified media-planar, cylindrical; phonic crystals in ID (Kronig-Penny model) and 2D (transfer matric and eigenvalue equation methods).
