An Introduction to Applied Electromagnetics and Optics

"…provides a clear explanation and introduction to applied electromagnetics and optics. This very readable book begins with the foundations of the fields and then successfully covers a number of timely topics that have wide ranges of potential applications."
— Michael A. Stroscio, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA

"This book is well written, not overly mathematical, methodical, and combines a thorough coverage of fundamentals with up-to-date results, such as superconductors, surface waves, plasmas, photonic crystals, and negative refraction."
—Michael Shur, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, USA

"The book’s contents give students not only fundamental knowledge about electrodynamics, but also practical ideas for applications to device, antenna, and waveguide implementations with truly physical and electrodynamical theories. Organizing the book this way gives strong benefits to all students in wide aspects of related fields like electrical engineering and applied physics, as well as material science courses students."
— Taiichi Otsuji, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan

"This book is appropriate for both students as an excellent electromagnetics text and for engineers as a great reference. A rigorous mathematics presentation and thoughtful organization structure develop a step by step expertise from traditional solutions of Maxwell equations in isotropic medium, interfaces and transmission lines to advanced anisotropic, periodic and negative index materials. The book provides a unified approach to different EM and optical problems and illustrates them with many solved examples. The reader will require some knowledge of mathematics and general physics for clear understanding of the material, but as a result, will acquire confidence in understanding of this essential subject for modern engineering disciplines."
— Serge Oktyabrsky, SUNY Polytechnic Institute, Utica, New York, USA

"This book is comprehensive, methodical and not overly mathematical. The earlier versions of its manuscript were used in teaching a course in applied electromagnetics. Examples (and their solutions) on different topics at each chapter's end, complete with hints and answers, help readers to master the material. This book is appropriate for both a one-semester course for electrical engineers and as a reference book for applied physics and materials science graduate students."

"This book is very unique in view of the fact that it covers both fundamentals of Electromagnetics and its applications in Optics, as well as Electromagnetic waves in Various types of Media. The book covers materials that are not covered in typical Electromagnetics textbooks. For example, the electromagnetic wave interaction with anisotropic medium, optically active medium, periodic structures, gyrotropic medium, and amplifying medium are very well described at an intermediate level. These subjects, as well as other typical subjects like waveguides and antennas, will make the Electromagnetics course more interesting."
